Lowell car show

     Seven of the ClassiX members entered their cars in the annual Lowell car show and three of them received recognition as Top 10 winners.  Jim won with his 32 Ford Roadster, Fred with his 47 Chevy custom and Paul also picked up a plaque for his 48 Ford coupe.  Congrats to all!

St Ignace and new members

     Ten ClassiX cars made the trip to St. Ignace this year for the annual car show and to get away from city life for a while.  Rick drove up on Monday.  Jim, Fred & Janet arrived on Tuesday.  Pete, Mark, Paul & Sharon, Jon, Bob & Stacy and Ron & Teresa rolled in on Wednesday.  Last to arrive on Thursday were new club members Dave & Vickie Wiedlund.  We all had another great time at the Northernaire Motel on the north end of town.  And the cruising through town was non-stop until the show on Saturday.  Bob Jenema won the NSRA Safety Pick with his beautiful 1964 Chevelle Malibu SS for the only award within the club.  The Wiedlunds continued their northern Michigan vacation after the rest of the crew headed home on Sunday.  They noticed a vibration while in Traverse City and contacted our Northern Michigan NSRA Rep and Fellow Pages listing, Fred Bottomley.  Fred was able to diagnose a bad U-joint and the problem was repaired on Monday so Dave & Vickie could continue their vacation.  Reservations are already in place for next year!

 10 CSRA cars lined up on the street at 5:30 am!
