Tontitown is Back

Tontitown is back and bigger than ever. After a few years moving around, with dwindling participants, the show is back at the park with plenty of shade trees. Even after rescheduling to Jul 25 due to rain, they had 201 entries! Ray Farquharson was the only member attending, with his 3-year build 1961 Ford PU. He thoroughly enjoyed the day, as most of you know, Ray never meets a stranger. He won the O’Reilly’s-donated Car Care Collection by answering the trivia question “What was the 1^st year GM installed a V8 in the Corvette.” Do you know? Check with Ray next time you see him.

Ray was impressed they had digital score keeping, quick and easy. He also mentioned he was parked next to a ’37 Ford, worth at least $150K. The owner told Ray that his old truck got more looks than hers.
