9th June 2007 Another HOT one! In fact so hot, Scott decided with his dad today that it was time to take the gun off the jeep and put up the top when he got home. We all met at Kaiserville this warm and muggy morning and were treated to Krispy-Kreme’s and hot coffee. With

May 4th, 5th, 6th Once again the weather gods failed to smile on this event. Heavy rain in the days prior to the show had made the field soft, so we had been told initially that space for only a limited number of vehicles on pavement would be available, and that the ‘heavies’ couldn’t come.

No less than fifteen vehicles took part this year (twelve ¼-tons of various sorts, one ¾-ton, one 2½-ton, and one 5-ton), with members coming from as far away as Corpus Christi.
