On Sept. 28, the threat of storms didn\u2019t stop the hundreds of cars, trucks, and motorcycles from rolling into Tioga Downs Casino Resort as the American Cruisers Car Club, LLC, along with Southern Tier Harley Davidson presented the annual show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tioga Downs Casino Resort, located in Nichols, N.Y., held the annual car, truck, and motorcycle show on Sept. 28; attracting auto enthusiasts and motorcyclists, to include the annual charity ride from Southern Tier Harley Davidson. Both Southern Tier Harley and the American Cruisers Car Club, LLC are host to the show. Pictured is a row of cars, with the casino\u2019s new hotel as a backdrop.

Held in the lot located in front of the newly constructed hotel that was part of Tioga Downs\u2019 recent expansion, guests that arrived were able to browse through a variety of makes and models of vehicles ranging from Chevy\u2019s and Ford\u2019s, to Plymouth\u2019s and even a cherry red 1933 Willys model, owned by Sal Iserra of Ithaca, N.Y. The Willys was a favorite of guests, and garnered much attention throughout the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also included in the show were muscle and modern cars, to include an interesting custom car owned by Kurtis Hart of Owego, N.Y. The 2017 Honda had a clear hood that offered guests a view of its modified engine; \u201cNever Satisfied\u201d and \u201cEgo Killer\u201d were appropriately etched on the top and bottom border of the front windshield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A motorcycle run, the John \u201cWah\u201d Oleski Christmas for Kids Ride, which benefits local children during the holiday season, rolled into the show following a ride from Southern Tier Harley Davidson, bringing with it over 100 motorcycles and their riders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, Southern Tier Harley Davidson is host to the ride, collecting registration fees at their Front Street Binghamton location that benefit the annual holiday effort. As a bonus, Tioga Downs offers a 100 percent match of funds raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the threat of storms did not deter the riders that arrived at the show, either. As a regular tradition, James \u201cPackrat\u201d Bates drove his trike, decorated with bells and everything but holly. Bates himself dresses as Santa each year; representing the ride\u2019s true spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests were also treated to a special guest again this year; Greg Zyla, author of Collector Car Corner and Test Drive, and a syndicated columnist, was at the show representing Auto Round-Up Publications and Lucas Oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pictured, are Noah and Chris Lemmon of Binghamton, N.Y.

Working hand-in-hand with Dave Mareck, the two were able to give away magazines and products throughout the day, and Zyla was available to answer many questions and to \u201ctalk shop.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harvey Harris, from Watkins Glen International, was also set up at the show. In February of this year, Tioga Downs Casino Resort and Watkins Glen International announced a multi-year partnership, making Tioga Downs the \u2018Official Casino\u2019 of Watkins Glen International. So it was fitting that Harris was represented at the show with one of their cars, and with information about the track and its promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
