July 5th Meet and Drive.

We had a nice turnout for last nights Meet and Drive. The weather probably had a lot to do with it, it was beautiful. Because it was so nice, we decided to head out to Kakabeka for some ice cream. After that we headed back through Stanley and took River Rd back to 130.

Rendezvous 2011

Here are some pictures from Rendezvous in Fargo. Many thanks to the British Iron Society for putting on a great event. The Bonnie & Clyde Funkhana was most entertaining, a good mix of challenge and fun. The Don Carlson Memorial Car Show had a very interesting variety of makes and models, and the beautiful weather brought out many of the locals to see the show. Jon Block won a trophy for his Sprite.

Stopping for fuel in Brainerd.

A little maintenance always draws a crowd.

Photos from Clark's Turbine Tech Session At Bearskin

Here are some photos from the Tech Session put on by Clark Blumberg at his Turbine shop at Bearskin Airlines. Clark put on a very thorough and interesting session on the operation and maintenance of the Garrett turbine and Pratt and Whitney PT6 turbine engines he works with every day. The PT6 is of special interest to us car folk, as it is of the same type that was used in the 1967, 1968 STP Indy car. Much appreciation to Clark and Bearskin for allowing us this great opportunity.
