I wish I had some picures, but we didn't have a camera along.

We met with about 5 model T's a Velie, a 1941 Plymouth and a Model A. We had a "horseless rodeo" at the Del Mar Fair.

This was the first time out with my touring since I had the engine out after doing a stupid thing. See thread "I screwed up the engine".

We played games such as crank and start. Two cars at a time participated, one at each end of the arena. The driver got out and then at a signal crank started the engine, ran around the car once and drove to the other end. If he got a free start, he had to run around 3 times, and if used a starter run around two times. Well, this year I think I was the only one who actually crank started. Unfortunately the others all beat me even though they had to run around twice. One time I got a "free" start.

We also picked up potatoes, ran blindfolded and backed up in a course.

Anyway we had fun, and the car is running very well. It also hasn't "marked its territory" So I hope I don't have to tear it down again, because it seems to be sealed up very well.
