SCVMTFC 53rd Annual Endurance Run & Lowland Tour Registration ends May 18th!

Post by Cbhirdo » Mon Apr 29, 2024 2:50 pm

There's never been a better time to register for the Santa Clara Valley Model T Ford Club 53rd Annual Endurance Run & Lowland Tour than now! Why? Because registration for the 53rd Annual Endurance Run & Lowland Tour ends on Saturday, May 18th, and this is the event you don't want to miss. So, go to www.SCVMTFC.org, click on the Registration Form and sign up! It's that easy. Don't forget to order your "T" Shirt, BBQ for Saturday and extra lunches for Sunday (2 lunches included in the Endurance Run registration.)

What's your sign?
That's what I thought.......
Don't Delay. Register Today!

That’s a good turnout Chris. Competition for the first donut will be fierce.

We’ll, after a failure during road tests the Mercury won’t be making the endurance run. The 14 runabout will step in for the lowland tour.

Access is the biggest problem. You pretty much have to disassemble the car to get the engine out.

That's a real bummer Andy !!! You might know of Rudy Sarella from up our way - his F.I.L. was Bill Rader and I did some work for him on his speedster w/Gemsa O.H. - same drill - body was built up after the powertrain was finished - had to dis-assemble 1/2 of the car !

I couldn’t participate in the endurance run but we too the 14 down and ran the lowland tour. Lots of cars and folks we hadn’t seen in some time. It was well organized and the club was motivated to make it all work.

Here are some iffy photos from the line up.

I believe this Buick attended a couple of the SCVMTFC Endurance Runs in the past. Is this car still around and/or is it still in California?

It looks like another great event!!
