A very nice collection of Model A's came out to the
Autobahn. They took rides in Corvettes and then we
got to take rides in the Model A's
I got in to enjoy my ride and the owner got out, told me
to drive and then put a passenger from OK in the other
side
Jeannie Ruston in the sedan - riding shotgun
The Rustons, Moores and us headed back to the Convention
Center
Valve Cover Races - Elimination Style and what
a crowd there was this evening - hundreds
in the room watching this adult style pine wood
derby (from my Scouting days)
The racers
could not weigh more than 8#, tires must be 4" or
smaller in diameter (max of 4) and you had ot get
re-teched each and every test run - no modifications
were permitted after the eliminations started.
They awarded top small block, big block, furthest
distance, overall show & top eliminator
You got to make some test runs and tweak before making
more runs, I'm adding weights here
Doug McMahan wit his big block valve
cover racer (Eliminator) on the near side making test runs
against Glenda McMahan's small block
valve cover
Bob Morrison with his small block valve
cover racer - Mickey - made several rounds in the
elminations
Glenda, ready to run - of course little
did she know the VCR staged with her would knock her off
the track when it switched lanes
After the eliminations, they were lined up for a
participant's choice show
Walt Jenkins with his small block valve
cover Won Top Eliminator over Doug McMahan
maybe Cowtown should think about this as a club event or
even doing it at our car show?
