A Note from the event coordinator, Bob Bortree: The weather was a little cool, but we had lots of Sun. Coffee and Donuts helped get the day started. We had a great turnout of 14 cars; and could have had two more but ice deterred them getting out of their garages. Thank You for bringing out your cars. Bob
