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.
