We deemed the 2011 "Washington State E vs W Flathead reliability run 2011" a success! We figured we had around 100 cars, thats about 30 more then last year! The weather was cool and damp- it did not open up and pour, it drizzled for a short while and went away. The parking lot was packed of everything flathead related from stockers to blown hot rods! A lot of people did not sign up for their car to be counted, the official count was East side 53- West side 23. West-siders need to pick up the ball they have dropped for the last 2 years. I know there are a TON of neat flathead powered cars over there, they need to put their big boy pants on and come play 
Our little caravan left from Spokane around 6:30 Friday morning. We took old highways and backroads the whole way to George, WA and the last 20 or so miles was on I-90. It was a great run and our group had zero break downs or trouble there and back. Even Mike's "No Dollar Special" T he built using only scrounged or donated parts. He claims to have NO MONEY in it. This is the same Mike that won this years Montana 500 Model T race. The No Dollar Special runs better then it looks
Thee Inland Emperors would like to thank the people and clubs who came to share this day with us. It went smoothly and we just kicked back. had lunch and enjoyed the cars. We sold nearly all our T shirts drawn by fellow Emperor Mr Allison, that helps a ton as that is the only way we fund this run. So thank you eveyone and we already have plans of a 3rd year flathead run, around the same date next September!!!
On a personal note- I have been bustin my *** to get my new 41 convertible reliable to take it on the road. Certain things fought me but mid week I got em all ironed out and have put a little over 600 miles on the car. It performed great (except a little blow by seeping inside) Jamie, me and the Hound Lucy broke her in right!!
