Two probable winners selected within 15 minutes, a '55 Ford Country Sedan wagon in red and white for Best Station wagon and a '56 Ford Fairlane convertible in peach and white for Best Tri-five Ford. Beforehand, we had walked around to see what might be worthy. Judging started at 3:00 and off we went after getting our clipboards and dots. Cars were arriving several at a time - at last count we heard over 845 cars were there, filling the town. Some then went to Chloride, a small historic town nearby, some went junk-yarding, but everyone met for Mexican just before noon. Each judge had 5-6 categories, selecting from the list by going around the room.
Judges met to assign the categories, 61 judged by us and the remaining 5 judged by the Fun Run Association. Then back to our various hotels to sleep and anticipate. The food was good, the service good, show cars were scattered throughout the parking lot, early arrivals. Upon arrival, everyone freshened up for dinner at DAMBAR, where we meet up with the rest of our group. We met Friday, May 3, to answer the siren call of Kingman, AZ, and the 32nd Annual Route 66 Fun Run! We took our time going up - the weather was great and check-in at the hotel was not until mid-afternoon.
