Don't be so sure. Went to take a drive this weekend and found out the Hall-effect sensor on my MSD distribution went south. It'll be fixed in time for the run to Flag. And it will be good to see you in Pinetop! If you change you mind, my offer is still open for the house - plenty of room for the family.

Awesome will let ya know!

Run to the Pines Car Show hits the gas

Dennis Gage
to film event

PINETOP-LAKESIDE — The 27th
annual Run to the Pines Car Show featuring
550 pre-1973 classic vehicles
will be filmed this year for the world
renowned “My Classic Car” show hosted
by none other than Dennis Gage.
Just a little more than three weeks
away (Sept. 24-26), classic car fans will
want to make note of the dates so they
can be sure to attend. The car show is
again hosted by the Pinetop Lakes Golf
and Country Club located at 4643 Buck
Springs Rd.
Gage’s show has been on the air
since 1997. “My Classic Car” is well
known for Gage’s vocal love of classic
automobiles winning acclaim from car
aficionados like Jay Leno with whom
he has produced a DVD on the subject.
Bob Gates (along with wife Linda,
Randy Corbin and the non-profit Run to
the Pines Committee) organize the Run
to the Pines Car Show every
year, but said this year is special
in that Gage has chosen them to
be on his show viewed by classic
auto fans all over the world.
Taking place the last weekend
in September, the Run to the
Pines 2010 started taking applications
in April, but according to
Bob within three weeks all of the
slots were filled. Linda said there
is always a chance that someone
will not make it to the car show,
leaving an open slot, but don’t
get your hopes up folks because
even if someone is a no-show, it
is too late to get into the show.
Linda said people will start
arriving at the Pinetop Lakes
Golf and Country Club with their
cars on Friday for registration.
The kick-off parade takes place
at 4:15 Friday afternoon going
from Show Low (In the Double
D Furniture parking lot) to Hon-
Dah Resort Casino.
As every year, there will also
be the traditional barbecue (held
at Hon-Dah this year) Friday
after the kick-off parade.
Saturday/Sunday is the judging
portion of the show which will be
done by participants to choose
winners in 23 categories.
There will be a judging by the
public, but that will be done by
the children of spectators who
will make their spectators choice
for best of show.
Sponsors for this years show
include Paul Dean Design and
Illustrations, Golden Eagle Distributors
Show Low branch,
Fresh Budweiser, Embellish
Boutique, DD Furniture Gallery,
The Town of Pinetop-Lakeside,
Cable One, Hon-Dah Resort
Casino, Carquest, Tate’s Auto
Group, El Rancho Restaurant,
Pepsi-Cola and Cellular One.
All of the proceeds from the
car show each year benefit local
charities like The Love Kitchen.
The show is free to the public.

Looking forward to seeing some Mustangs next Friday!

Almost showtime! We got about an inch and a half of rain today but the skies are clearing. The weather promises to be partly cloudy with highs in the 70s

The 65 broke a valve spring coming home from Bison Ranch on Saturday but she is all fixed and raring to go. My car will be in the Host Club class again this year so come by and vote for #3 I will be parking the Mustangs on Saturday morning. Thursday night we stuff 600 goody bags.

It's always something with these ole cars! We are driving up late Friday morning and can't wait for the cool pines.

I hope that you make the Cavalcade of Cars 15 mile parade/cruise from DD Furniture in Show Low to the Hon Dah casino where ther will be a BBQ (included in entry). That is my favorite part of the weekend. If you can, get to DD by 3:00. The parade leaves about 4:15 but it is good to be in front to get good parking at Hon Dah. You do need to check-in at the golf course on Friday because no car can get on the field Saturday without a the entry card in the window
