Default 4th annual Washington State E vs W Flathead reliability run Sept 14th 2013!!!

That's right folks, this is the 4th year of our annual "NO OVERHEADS" E vs W flat head reliability run. This years date is Saturday Sept. 14th. This gives everyone in the area time to shake the cobwebs loose off their ol ride and get it ready! This is an open run, open to any make and model, car, truck, bike, etc...as long as it is flat head powered. Vintage OHV conversions are allowed (Adrun, Riley, Rajo, etc) as long as it is still flat head based.

This run grows every year, well over 100 cars/trucks last year. Lets keep it going!

The idea is simple- The east side of the state vs the West side. We will meet in Vantage, WA at Blusterie's Burgers no later then noon. This is roughly the half way point between Seattle and Spokane. The side with the most cars wins. Come drive your old car, have lunch, enjoy good company and vintage iron, and head home. This run is free, we sell T-shirts, posters and decals to help offset the cost. We sold out very early last year so get em fast! We are also working on a swap meet area!!!! Anyone interested in vending get a hold of me!

I will keep bumping this throughout the year until the run. Please PM or call me AT 509-869-0266 with any questions, and we will be handing out flyers at shows and swap meets!!


Here is last years run photos:

I participated on the 2nd and 3rd event and really enjoyed it. It's s 476 mile round trip for me. A long day for me. That means for me that the endurance of the car and driver are both tested. I'm glad that both of us passed the test. I'd like to drive a roadster this year if the weather is as good the last two years. My '31 (stock) isn't quite as fast as my '32 (stock engine) but is just fun to drive. The variety of the cars that show up will please and delight restorers and rodders alike.

I went last year and the array of flathead cars was really neat.

Rolf, You are do for a new project. You have all summer to get one on the road. I am sure we can find you something out at Trevors. I think I may tackle and build a beater out of this for some summer fun.

I've been to all three so far and I'll be there again this year.
Great get-together.
Lots of cool cars and nice people and a nice 350 mile drive.
I got so into taking pics of all the cars I forgot to take a pic of my own!
We can do without all the smoke from forest fires though.
See y'all there.

I would LOVE to take my '34 on that run. It would fit right in and be right at home. The trouble is, that it would be a 6,000 mile round trip for me.
Good Luck and have fun !
MIKE
