KARC Wilderness Trail
Rod Run
The KARC Wilderness Trail Rod Run, Saturday
of Memorial Day weekend, was a success. Everybody seemed to have a great time.
We were blessed with great weather. There were 269 registered participants.
Thanks to all sponsors. Special thanks to
Rainbow Motors, primary sponsor, for providing some of the bicycle for the
giveaways and special thanks to O’Reilly Auto Parts for providing gift card
giveaways.
Thanks to all the
club who helped make the show a success.
Below are some pictures, from the show.
Thanks to Bud Barrett for providing these pics.
Bill Pettis blew the flathead in his ’40 Ford
Coupe on the way to the rod run in Kingsport. Bill reports it overheated on
11W at Surgoinsville pulling a long hill, so he turned around headed back
home. Blew the hose off, dumped all the coolant and really got hot. Came home on a rollback. Autopsy discovered one holed
piston, one burnt piston, one cylinder deck crack between the valve and bore
and an old crusty t-stat up inside the radiator hose at the elbow.
