Hello V-8 Club members. Sadly I was not able to put the CNM in Tulsa on my schedule. Folks should be arriving home soon. Who went? What did you see? What did you score at the swap? Which old friends did you connect with? We/I want to hear your stories please? -VT/JeffH Photo of the 2014 ENM. Frank Miller's '49. Frank is behind the wheel of the Phaeton.

Jeff, It was a terrific meet. The heat was oppressive, but we had no storms and nearly no rain. There was indoor parking for our vehicles. Lots of people were there. John Mason from out your way, as well as Cecil & Kay, Michael, and Cameron Polan. Also Jim & Velma Parsons from WV. It was a great venue, everything was on site. The concourse was excellent with many beautiful V-8s. They had some great entertainment. The swap was small, but many left happy. I found a correct NOS 7# '51 radiator cap in the box for five bucks! Nothing but thanks to Tulsa RG#39 for a super time. We took our Mercury and drove back 700 miles yesterday. See you in Gettysburg! Ken

Good report Ken! It was a hot one, but none the less a great meet that I totally enjoyed. Where else could we have seen that many nice cars and their owners. I picked up a nice set of original 48-xxxx, early take off's, domed top, aluminum heads, with no visible corrosion at the water hole passeges. I am just about ready to start the final 600 miles of my trip home. Like Ken said, see you in Gettysburg in about 7 weeks. PS..the attached picture was taken at the Woolaroc Ranch & Museum as I was about to leave and head back to the Hard Rock Hotel in Tulsa John

John, I caught a shot of you judging one of Dave Jensen's cars - as you were talking with Clyde. Ken

Thanks Ken! I was able to download that. That picture reminds me of how hot it was out there on the Concourse. I can't tell you how much water I drank that day and sweated every drop of it back out, but loved every minute of that day and the meet. I am in Wheeling WV right now at the big Cabela's store buying myself some Father's Day presents :D. Should be home tonight. The '35 has not missed a beat except for a few vapor lock stumbles

Jeff, Sorry you didn't make it. We had a great time visiting with many friends and making some new ones, also. Got a lead on some NOS parts for the '48. Placed 2nd in Touring A with my '40 pickup. Was able to speak 2 times about the Foundation and the upcoming ENM in Gettysburg. Drove 800 miles on Friday and spent the night in Columbus, OH and got home after a late start on Sat at 5:15pm. Spent some quality time with the Parsons. The 2009 F 150 I bought from him averaged just under 12 mpg pulling my Featherlite trailer.
Shiny side up! Cecil/WV

Thanks for the reports everyone. I sure missed being there! I've set aside some time in October, maybe I'll be taking a plane ride... Can't wait to see my V-8 Club national friends again. Sorta even looking forward to seeing McBurney. Brainerd didn't last long enough!
