JANUARY CAR SHOW COMMITTEE REPORT.

The first car show meeting of this year was held

on January 15th. It was mostly to get everyone back on

board for thinking about the Memorial Cruisin' With the

Oldies event this year.

There was some tweaking and preliminary

changes to the schedule of events, but nothing big. As we

get closer to the show, things will come together more

clearly, such as events by John Huff and the "Burnout

contest" and whether he can make it happen. Progress is

being made on the raffles, awards and publicity.

One new idea of the Valve Cover Races is still on

board and progressing. The race crew is finishing the race

track, and ready for us to get our racers in order.

We had two young gentlemen at the meeting that

are on board for a young generation event for a revised

class for "SPORT-COMPACT/TUNER" cars. That will

be a change from the "import/tuner class. They have a

statewide club that is on Face Book as the "Wyosport"

club. So all of you face bookers, check them out. We are

excited to have the new generation car enthusiasts aboard.

The next car show meeting will be on February

17th at Stan and Judy's home at 6:30. Anyone interested

or want to help with our car show are most certainly

welcome. Check out the tentative schedule.

Stan Goodwin, Publicity chairman
