Hopefully the cold and wintery weather that we’ve been having hasn’t taken all of you out of the hot-rodding mood! Maybe now is the time of year where it would be a great idea to get out those old photographs of warmer days and car show pasts, just to "make" us remember how much fun the warmer weather will be. Also, this is a good time of year to get those little projects done on our sparkling beauties so that they are "cruise ready" when the weather does change for the better.
As I said last month, this is the slow time of year for "hot rod" news and schedules of events, but we do have a few. Remember, we have the Platte River Mall indoor show March 4-6; and with that, here is a list of shows and events that will be coming up:
Feb. 19 & 20……Tri-City Street Rods Show at Heartland Events Center, Grand Island
March 4-6…..Platte River Mall Show (Put cars in the night of the 4
th and take them out evening of the 6th)
March 18-20….O’Reilly Auto Parts World of Wheels, Qwest Center, Omaha, NE
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, February 15
th at Pizza Hut in North Platte. As always, if you’d like to eat please arrive at 5:30 pm and the meeting will start at 7:00 pm.
REMINDER: Annual Dues of $15.00 are due by March 1
st 2011. Please pay or send dues to our treasurer, Allen Janas at 1202 S. Emory Ave., North Platte, NE 69101.
One thing to do, in this slack time of the year, with our gasoline drinking partners is to go over everything before spring gets here. Safety First everyone! Look over all those things we take for granted that will just be ok, ok?
Hope to see ya the meeting
