TRIUMPH DRIVERS SHOW CHANGED

The Triumph Driver's show, traditionally held Arbor Day weekend in Nebraska City, and scheduled as an April event has been changed. It is now scheduled June 6th at the Ameristar Cassino in Council Bluffs, IA. from noon to 4:00 P.M. This is a week before the Heartland Regional (registration form on page 3) in St Joseph MO.

Report on March EVENTS

Some weeks are just better than others. We may recall them as the week we married, or , for some, divorced, had our children, bought our first house, obtained our first LBC, built our first engine, or won the lottery.

Sports cars were observed and discussed, gluttony was practiced, standards were sung and designated drivers were pleading with the rest to quit and go home already! Thanks again, Nancy and Jerry, for hosting the event. Overall it was a very successful end to a very busy FWAHC week.
