There’s a buzz in the air among car enthusiasts in and around Pilot Mountain this week as the word got out that the Hot Nights and Hot Cars summer cruise-in series will finally be making its return to the downtown area.
All 2020 series events were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic along with the first two cruise-ins of the current season. On July 3, however, the series will celebrate the Independence Day weekend by coming back to life with a full slate of traditionally favorite activities from past events, including live music.
According to Jerry Venable, chairman of the sponsoring Mount Pilot Now group, organizers had been in ongoing discussions with the Town of Pilot Mountain about when the event could be revived.
