The Meet is over and we're packing up and don't know where we'll be tonight. It was really fun here in Cottage Grove but 5 days zipped by leaving little time to communicate with the world outside. We attended seminars, toured the lush green countryside and crossed covered bridges with 130 other A's, ate bbq in the park, competed (poorly) in the Gymkhana, but blew away the competition in the "Gentlemen Start Your Engines" contest. Our team, the "Cap Diablo's, Son of Auburn" came from 4 different NCRG Chapters: Alex Janke, Diablo A's; Ralph Lawrie, Capitol A's, Ron Ludford, Auburn A's and Steve Lewis, Sonoma A's. They allowed 15 minutes to trouble shoot and repair a sabotaged Model A and our winning time was a mere 6 minutes 35 seconds.
I know I said we never go to banquets, but this one was excellent. The grounds at the Garden Inn are beautifully planted with lots of flowers and mature trees, and they had a large tent set up on the lawn with the cars that were judged on display. The McKenzie A's did a great job and the awards presentation ran as smoothly as the rest of the event.
