Car Show
KARC Wilderness Trail Rod Run was held
Memorial Day weekend, on May 27th, at the Kingsport Center For Higher Learning parking lot. The change in venue turned
out to be a success. Despite being a cool and cloudy day, over 165 registered participants
attended and had a great time. There was plenty of room for participants and
activities.
We had adult and kid winners of the games and
poker walk. Food trucks and a food tent with Mexican, hot dogs and barbeque,
provided food, along with
Special thanks to all the sponsors,
especially primary sponsor Randall Gibson and Rainbow Motors who help make this
show possible. Randall also provided giveaway bicycles for these lucky kids.
Eddie
Lawson Tribute Cruise-In
There
was a big turnout for the tribute to Eddie Lawson Friday night of Memorial Day Weekend.
Many KARC members and friends were in attendance.
