The TorC drive and the rallye were a big success.

A big thanks go out to all those who helped pull this off.

Winners are listed on page 11.

Welcome New Member(s):

No new members in April

Seventy Five cars registered but because of high wind warnings a num-ber of the Arizona partici-pants left prior to the show and a number of those who stayed also left early Sunday.

Speakers wanted. Most of you have interesting and/or humorous tales to tell about travels, attending events, or trials and tribulations regarding work on your British car. Why not share these with the club at a general meeting? Let us know if you are willing.
