These people are happy to be finished with the “Desert In Bloom”

The “Desert in Bloom” proved to be a great road test for both people and machines.  The routes were challenging and a good mix of terrain to make things interesting.  Special mention should be made for the heroic efforts of Kennewick resident Frank Baker.  Seems Frank opened his shop to the visitors more than once.  Wayne Murray stopped in to drill a vent hole in a gas cap.  Paul Murray dropped by to weld his Ruxtell shifter lever.  That did not work, so Frank donated the shifter lever out of his 1924 Model T Touring for the weekend.  Frank Reichlin broke a chassis part during the weekend and managed to get it welded and reinstalled in Frank Bakers’ shop.  It was one busy place!  Our thanks to Frank for his generosity and willingness to help stressed out folks in every way possible.  DaJuan, and the Three Rivers Chapter of the MTFCA, are to be congratulated for putting on another very successful Northwest Vintage Speedster Event. 

Win or lose the best part is eating and bragging about your car and how well it ran in the “Desert In Bloom” Memorial Day Weekend Endurance Run.

Respectfully Submitted,

Mad Max Murray
