If you were not in Salado, TX last weekend, then missed a great meet.
My wife and I had a wonderful time; I got to see some old friends (JW and Flackmaster among others) and made some new friends, too. Everyone made this northerner feel welcome. BTW, the bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes were in full bloom during the driving tour on Friday.
I had a very receptive audience at the Saturday Awards Dinner where I gave a presentation about the history of the Packard Proving Grounds and the restoration work being done by the Packard Motor Car Foundation. I just hope I did not put too many folks to sleep as I can talk about the place nearly forever.
Meanwhile, I have attached a couple of photos from the car show on Saturday. Below are in my humble opinion were the 3 leading contenders for the Best of Show Pre-War Trophy. As a coincidence all three cars had 12 cylinder engines. See if you can guess the winner.
Thanks again to all the Texans for having me down to your meet.
