Parade and Show
Horsefeathers flyers are printed and ready to hand out. We are looking for
goody bag ideas and the T-shirt is in the design stage.
RMMR
So far 309 cars registered for the show and Autocross is almost sold out.
The Drag racing event has been cancelled due to lack of participants. We need
volunteers to help with trash pickup and striping the show parking area.
New business
Fall Driving Event is scheduled for September 11-12 and is in the planning
stages with an unknown mystery destination. More info coming and you don’t
have to drive a mustang to go but it’s encouraged. Some of last year’s highlights
included lunch on the train, Canon City Prison and the amazing Skyview Drive.
Happy Driving!
