Tight Competition for the Sargent Trophy!
The year is now halfway over, and the battle for the Sargent Trophy has been fierce! The top three competitors are separated by only 1.5 points, and all three have had a perfect attendance thus far. Could this be the first time we’ve awarded three Iron Bottoms in a single year?
History Project Underway
Boxes of historical documents and artifacts dating back to the 1950’s and not seen in many years have recently been unearthed from the archives. A project to sort and preserves these items is currently underway. Look to future newsletters for interesting discoveries as the project develops.
Our July Zoom meeting will be held on Tuesday the 25th. The program for the evening will be a presentation by Kregg Hunsberger on the repair of his wrecked TC Special.
The meeting starts at 6:00 PM (Pacific). Members may join 15 minutes early.
Note that anyone making a simulated journey to the meeting in a TC by driving a minimum of 10 miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.
June recap: 15 Members attended our May meeting on Zoom. Four TCs were driven 10 or more miles in a simulated journey to the meeting by Edgar, Lemieux, Loe and S. Simmons.
