July 2nd there will be the Eaglewood Festival of
Speed. Check out the particulars on the website. I
understand that it is a very good show. I will try to
make this year, but as of now I may have a conflict
like I did the last couple of years. Ken Clifford can
attest to how neat of a show it is.
At the July 14th meeting we need to see who is still
planning on the Bear Lake Drive. Again that
weekend I have a conflict so I won’t be making the
trip. I heard questions from members at the BFD
about the event. If you want to go show up at the
meeting and help with the planning.
The Jaguar club has taken over sponsorship of the
Classic Sports Car Show in Park City. The date is
August 22nd. Entry forms are available on the BAHC
website.
July 10th is the National Collector Car Appreciation
Day. I seem to think about the day a little late to
plan something special. I also have not heard from
other gear heads I know about any event scheduled
for that day. Maybe that would be something to
work on next year.
