Wow , Looks like it was a blast this year...

 

to the Hartman family up north from a fellow Hartman in south Tx, great job.

 

Well, as Fast Elvis has said, another Hartman's/ E.L.T.A. Saturdy night special has been put in the history books. We had folks from Sudbury to N.Y. state, from Windsor to Niagara and pretty much everywhere in between. The crowd wasn't as big as years past...we can thank the crazy weather for that, but the atmosphere was absolutely great. There were a number of racing celebrities on hand, and a surprise visit from a certain Bob Dixon with his 57 Ford B/G car from back in the day, sporting it's original SOHC Ford cammer motor. Maybe next year, Bob's brother Al, with his 57 Ford Sedan Delivery gasser, and some more of the Windsor boys will be up
Even the rain could't stop the bands on stage or the chatter between new and old friends.
I told you guys it was a great time ....well maybe next year Huh?


These are from a friend of ours. Some of you will know who. Enjoy

Couple of iPhone shots that I took throughout the day/evening. Not the best, but my point and shoot has about the same megapixel rating... I need a decent camera.

 

Few more...

 

Looks like I missed a great time,
but the womans only grand parent only turns 90 years old once!

Next year for sure!
