I just got back from Hot August Nights in Reno. We took the WC53 again. We had a great time and met a lot a fine people. It was interesting to see the guy next to me go ballistic when someone started rapping on my truck. I never got a chance to say a word. He was doing a great job. It took him a while to cool off after the offender left. One guy caught me the next day and talked about the event.

We did OK again this year. We won best vintage 1940 to 1949 at tha Alantis one night. Wednesday we were in the top 5 MOPAR which was a surprise looking at all of the great MOPARs that were there. We also were a finalist in one other judged event.

The only downside of the trip was that I shredded a trailer tire in Reno when we were leaving. It had a small nail in the tire that did not seem to penetrate the tire. The valve stem was blown in two which deflated the tire. The tire quickly shredded. I was climbing a hill at 45 mph when it happened. AAA changed it and Les Schwab stayed open late to mount up a new spare tire for us. I was not about to drive from Reno to Seattle without a spare.
