Boy, O’ Boy! March came in like the proverbial lion!
Wow! But it is already looking like we are headed for much better
weather already. I know I’m ready….
Things are moving along for our show at Millwood Park in June. We
have our permit from the City of Millwood, so we are good to go
there.
I want to thank long-time supporter Dave Smith Motors for stepping
up to become a show co-sponsor for us this year.

There will be copies of the INCCC’s 2014 Calendar of Events and
flyers for our Open Show in Millwood available at our March meeting. I may have more information on a food vendor for our two
shows, as well.
I will need volunteers to hand out flyers at various car related businesses in their locality and to take to any shows/events that happen
before June. Hope to see you 3/16 at the Pizza Factory. Don’t forget about the calendars and flyers, now!

2. The severity of an itch is inversely proportional to your ability to reach it.
3. Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7 of your

Liberty Tire Pros
SEMA Update Renewable Fuel Standard: A federal law known as the
Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) mandates an increasing amount of biofuels be blended into gasoline each
year. This has been the driving force for E15 and the
EPA now wants to consider blending E30 as part of the
upcoming Tier 3 standards. SEMA is working with a
diverse coalition of organizations opposed to the RFS
mandates, from the auto/boat industries to petroleum,
food and environmental community. The message: set
more realistic RFS goals and rescind the E15 rule.
Bonneville Salt Flats (BSF): Last August, the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) approved a final Environmental
Assessment (EA) for replenishing salt to the BSF. The
BLM adopted the approach recommended by SEMA
and other organizations that are members of the “Save
the Salt Coalition.”
This SEMA update provided by Merrill Smith (SEMA representative for
the INCCC. (Inland Northwest Car Club Council)
