What a great day today…President Brent Elmore really put together a fine series of venues. The Ropkey Armor Museum was fascinating with tanks, boats, planes, a Huey, Naval guns, cannons, etc. The founder’s grandson a very knowledgeable gentleman answered countless questions, and added specific stories about some of the exhibits.

Next, we visited a race shop with highly successful USAC Silver Crown cars…and, a couple of old Mopars…including Brent’s ’63 Plymouth drag car.

Finally, we had a fine lunch at Creekside Lodge…and held a brief business meeting. In all, we had 14 Vipers, one SRT 8 Jeep, and a custom ’36 Ford in our group.

Thanks to ALL for coming to this very fun and interesting event !!
