| Rattler Olsen explains that there will be no gravel roads in Montana on the Labor Day Run at the Saturday evening BBQ | ||||
|
John and Gloria Adams were responsible for feeding the horde of hungry speedster buffs a potpourri of BBQ goodies at our friend’s playhouse, er’ garage later on Saturday evening. Petrolania signs and other items of interest kept everyone mesmerized looking at the walls while packing the food away. Awards for Saturday’s run were displayed, but not distributed until Sunday’s banquet. |

Sunday’s run was a little different too. Instead of the early wake up to start at 8am, the 9am starting time offered a chance to get a few more winks in. Driver’s meeting at 0830hrs sharp. This driver missed the meeting removing and replacing #40’s carburetor three times to sort out a fast idle condition. Turned out to be a missing lock screw on the throttle lever. My thanks to Paul Daun for having a complete hardware store in the trunk of his car. Already the weather was warming up and de-layering clothes began in earnest early on. First stop was Kenton Park to count backstops then Arbor Park to see who made a sculpture in the middle of the park. The route traveled south through Portland’s downtown core. It was a good time to traverse, as there was little traffic in the heavy construction zones. |

At Sellwood Park the group was now south of Portland and east of I-5 and the Willamette River in a quaint neighborhood of many antique shops. Here we also enjoyed welcome relief of coffee, juice and sweet choices that stuffed the cockpits even further. We continued south paralleling the Willamette River’s East Side as far south as the Clackamas River. At the confluence of the Willamette and Clackamas River navigators had to learn what to do in case of an earthquake in Clackamette Park. You guessed it…RUN !! It was also here that we reached the southern most point of the route in Oregon City. Crossing the Willamette River again and north along the West Side of the great river to Mary S. Young park for lunch. |

Here, a huge submarine sandwich was the centerpiece of every kind of food that makes a great picnic in the park. But, don’t forget, just because it was lunch didn’t mean you didn’t have to answer questions. Upon exiting the parking lot we were asked to count blue disabled parking spots on the pavement. |
