July 15, 2010 It became official last week, Miss Thriftway, along with Miss Bardahl, the 1982 Atlas Van Lines and the 1980 Griffon Miss Budweiser, all have been invited to participate in the 2010 Lamb Weston Cup on the Columbia River in Kennewick, WA (aka the Tri Cities). With the successful running at Tastin' n Racin' last weekend, We will be pulling the engine during the week, then next Saturday, the entire crew will descend on Miss T, and go over everything (again) to try to get as many potential "problems" identified and fixed before we head to TC. I'm working on formatting the photos from TnR and will have them up by Tuesday evening. Here are links to your favorite photographers who were consuming multiple memory cards out at TnR last weekend: Chris Denslow: Day 1 Day 2 Julie Sparrowgrove: Both Days Jim Simpson: Both Days |
