Hey All Just FYI,

Had a great 7th Annual Downtown Hutch Rod Run with 330 + cars registered (20 Club cars). Great weather with fun for all (with the exception of a future CKCA member that had a ‘carb’ fire on his ‘61 and ruined his day for sure). Members that did have better days were winners of the following classes.  
C3 – Mike Lewis; C4 - Doyle Keffer; C6 – Dusty Moore

Thanks to all the members that helped volunteer! It is very much appreciated. Remember our next show is Vettes and Harleys at the Zoo in April (25th & 26th?). We received a lot of nice comments about the show and I want you to know we do appreciate it!

Member Wayne and/or Marcia Strawder won the 76 'Vette Giveaway! Marcia said she filled out the ticket that won so they will have to fight that out!

The mini 'Vette was won by Don Young from Hutch who said it would go to his brother Steve’s 1 year old granddaughter for Christmas! (Steve is also a future member.)

Cody Ely (15 years old) won the Mustang Giveaway car. What a school car!

Thanks again to everyone,

Jim Gruver
