Well the 5th year of the run is in the books and it was the best one yet. The weather was perfect, the location was great and the turnout was awesome. Huge thanks to Sam and Chris Lytle as well as the crew at the Monitor Hot Rod Cafe where the run ended. They welcomed us and made sure we had what we needed. If they will have us again we will do it next year.
The East side won with 54 flathead cars, west side had 28...but at one time I counted 119 cars out on the grass...not even including the OHV cars in the parking lot. All in all a great year. We had guys DRIVE in from Montana, Sacramento, CA, Edmonton and Calgary Canada and many other distance places. My friend Paul Garland drove up all the way to Spokane from Sacramento just to do the run, logging 2000 miles on his beautiful chopped 48 Ford coupe. Has a pretty stock engine, trans, rear end and brakes. He had zero issues. We chose his car to put on the shirts this year.
Thanks to EVERYONE who bought a T-shirt, that is the only funding we have for the run. The more we sell, the better the run.
So all in all THANK YOU to all that came. I'm always open to suggestions on how to make it better. Gonna try hard to get a swap meet area next year.
Leaving my house Friday night (so we could get set up)
We stayed in Leavenworth WA at an old Motel
