      Joined up with the local British club yesterday at the race track to help set up the car show parking. Over 120 British cars registered so far and Sunbeams are 30 of them. We laid out space for 40 Sunbeams and may fill them all.
      Not to late to join us. You can register your car at the gate on Saturday. The swap meet on Friday at the host hotel starts at 10 AM and goes on all day long. Just got a call today from another member who is bringing a truck full of parts to sell! Sunny and 72 degrees Friday, Saturday, and Sunday too.

          I want to thank Todd Smith and Eric Gibeaut for their outstanding efforts to make the SOS weekend one to remember. Everything from the accommodations, sub and pizza party, wealth of car parts and gadgets to the amazing collection of Rootes Group cars and the after-car show dinner at Hudson’s Barbeque was as good as it gets. Its guys like you that keep Sunbeam fellowship interesting and fun.
          Thank you!
