SHOW RESULTS
SUMMARY OF HOW OUR CLUB MEMBERS FARED AT RECENT SHOWS
I promise and swear that I will be a good sport.
I won't whine or complain if I don't win an award.
I will always remember that this is supposed to be fun.
It's not life or death, it's only a hobby,so help me God.

We were accompanied Coaqchmen Jim Stanley and Barb Wroble. Unfortunately, Dan Wrobel had a medical issue a few days early and is spending a few days in the hospital. We hope a quick recovery for him. The Wrobel's nephew also spent the day with us.
We had a great time showing our cars to the residents of the center. They were quite excited to see these old cars, it must have brought back a lot of good memories.
