Condolences

Thoughts and prayers for the family of Ray Wilhelm. Ray passed away September 30th. Ray was a long time member of Kingsport Antique and Rod Club.

 

Recovering from Surgery

Buckshot Elliot and Pam Lawson are recovering after recent surgeries. Best wishes, for a speedy recovery, to both.

Also, thoughts and prayers with Harry Soard, who has been undergoing medical tests.

 

Member Machines and Gossip

 One of our members was recently seen on John B Dennis Highway pouring gas, from a can, in his ’61 Corvette.

 

Another member was seen leading a long line of traffic down Bloomingdale Pike, on his lawn mower.

 

Jerry Collins has already put over 800 miles on his new ’32 Ford Roadster. Jerry says Big Daddy requires a scarf and Spray Net before he’ll be able to ride again.

 

Allendale

Always the hero, Norman Davis showed what a true champion can do, by winning a top 25 at Allandale when neither he nor his car was there.

 

Bill Hurd was the default winner of the first Allandale autocross. Having completed the most difficult part of the course he, unfortunately, lost control in turn four. When asked what he plans to do with his winnings he was quick to reply "Put some brakes on that d@!n scooter!".

 

Club Cruise and Picnic

Around 60 members and families made the trip to Natural Tunnel via the long route or short route. Everyone had a good time.
