No Polar, Some Bear

Good grief, what a day and what a drive!  Severe clear and the 38 cars/roughly 50 participants in SLTOA’s annual Polar Bear Run enjoyed temps in the low 70s.  We had a great course, a few challenges, one sequence of multiple LBCs and other cars locking all four wheels (with appropriate sound effects and smoke) and a great meal at the Big Chief on old US 66 way out west.

Watch for more details in the March Exhaust Notes.  For starters, I need to look at the back issues to see if we set the record for number of cars (the run to New Haven two years ago also turned out a lot of vehicles and participants) and the record for warmest temperature for a Polar Bear Run.

Our thanks to the MG Club of St Louis for turning out a good number of people and Morris Garage products, and thanks to everyone else who made the drive…particularly the brother of SLTOA’s veep, who drove his ’66 Impala coupe. Wow…
