RENO, NV (Sept. 29) — This week was when the annual Street Vibrations Fall Rally was held in our region. In addition there were other car meets in the area.
• Friday began at Summit Racing Equipment located on East Glendale in Sparks. For those that showed up it was the last cruise in until next spring.
One row started from the middle with a vintage VW then included some great looking roadsters.
The other row started with a couple of Corvettes, then a roadster and American sedans.
• Street Vibrations actually began Thursday, Oct. 26, and was spread into several areas. Down south at Battle Born Harley Davidson in Carson City was the site of one gathering.
Up on the Comstock C Street in Virginia City was lined on both sides with bikes. There were also various vendors, not to mention places to eat and be entertained.
In Reno the J Casino had entertainment and shows during the week. This included some freestyle Motocross jumping.
Not far away Reno Harley Davidson was a magnet for bikes. In fact one rider brought his customized Harley for display.
It was a very busy time at the dealership with people buying things and enjoying the comradship.
In addition to people riding in there was also a bunch of bikes for sale.
Both sides of the street were full of parked biked as well as people riding to and from the event.
There were also trophies for one of the events. All in all it’s when this event brings people from all over to enjoy this time.
• Late Saturday afternoon was when the Square Body Passion Car Club held a meet by Bully’s in Carson City. The meet filled the parking lot with vehicles.
There were all kinds of trucks as well as cars. Club administrator Amanda Phearson said she thinks there were around 100 people that showed up so it was quite a success for the club.
