The C.L.A.S.S. Car Cruise and Show is a popular event, but club members and law enforcement, along with a host of others want to try to make the event even safer for continued success.

Kirk Kraft, a member of the C.L.A.S.S. Car Club, spoke to the City Council Monday night.  Kraft told the Council that the car cruise, which draws more than 850 vehicles, received some “unwanted attention” when a driver lost control of his vehicle while performing a “burnout.”
