Russ Whitfeldt, Gary Aden and Ron Omstead along with the Over The Hill Gang hosted a Putt at Mouse’s Garage.
In attendance we had 38 members of the club and I’m guessing we had over 20 other Hot Rodder show up. Ron invited a lot of his friends from the past and present and club members invited some of their friends as well. It was fun to sit and watch these car pull in. They ranged from full custom, race cars, open wheel T buckets, Model A’s to 30’s to 40’s to 50’s and 60’s hot rods. It was a true array of American metal.
The club provided the food and drinks. Gary, Ron and I went back and forth on trying to figure out how much food to get and as it turned out, the right amount was purchased because we didn’t have any left overs. One of the best parts of the day was, we didn’t have one complaint about the food. As a matter of fact, we had a lot of people asked, “Where did we get the sandwiches?” Costco.
It was fun to see so many people hanging out together, telling stories or just reconnecting and talking about the old days of drag racing and hot rods.
It was a great day to be a Hot Rodder and it took a TEAM EFFORT to make it a successful PUTT. Thank you everyone.
