Catching Up
In January, a couple of the Old Guys attended the National Parts Depot Mustang and Ford Roundup in Silver Springs, and also the River Ranch Rod Run in Lake Wales.

We didn't take even ONE picture at either event, but thanks to Nancy Elder (soon to be former SSCC Newsletter Editor), I'll be able to post some pics of the Rod Run.

Real quick...the NPD show had just under 1000 Ford-powered vehicles on the show field, which may be a record-breaking number of attendees. I had an opportunity to spend a good deal of time with Mark Houlihan, Mustang and Fords magazine editor, and that's always a fun experience. Except for a driving rain storm that pretty much cleared out the show field early Sunday, it was another fantastic weekend hosted by NPD's Rick Schmidt and crew!

The Rod Run was also a fantastic weekend, with the Old Guys and the rest of the gang spending Friday and Saturday evening around the campfire, doing what we seem to do best...drinkin' cold beer and good whiskey, telling tall tales and occasionally, an outright lie!

Hosted by Rich and Linda Martin of Sunshine State Rodding News fame, this annual event always fills the Ranch to capacity, and this year was no exception, with about 350 cars on the show field!

Now that I'm pretty much caught up with putting the FlaCarShows.com WinterFest Show (February 23rd in Cocoa) together, I took some time, and uploaded the River Ranch Photo Album...sorry for the delay!
