I just cannot say enough good things about how the club members came together and put on one heck of a show. Alan Glover and Sear’s came through again this year with some awesome silent auction items and the big tool box we raffled off. It was worth $1,100.00 and we raised $1000.00 with the tickets, not too bad. The dunking booth was fun, and I think most of the money came from the employee’s at Sears trying to dunk the boss! We also had club members that donated so many things to our silent auction. Our 50/50 ticket sellers just blew me away with the amount they sold this year. One of our own Greg Baranek won $972.00. (he told me a lot of it went into a bathroom renovation). Congrats on that awesome win! Randy, Sally, Katie and her friends, thanks so much, the highest 50/50 ever! The Judges, Darryl, Buck, Leron, and Joe (thanks for filling in) did an awesome job. They started right away and got the job done! Registration was Rose, Cindy and John, and as usual they were great. Bill Reigart was in charge of the parking Committee and it also went very good. Bill Anderson and Bill Mitchell along with the NJROTC gang helped out so much. Denise and Sierra worked the sales table tent, and could not have done better. Everyone was laughing and having such a good time, I think it was the hugs Denise was giving out. Connie was tearing up the 50/50 tickets for me, and she sure stayed busy. We finally had to get her some help. My daughter Angie, my friend Beth, Jamey (my daughter’s boyfriend), Adam and Charles worked the food tent for us. They stayed so busy and did such a great job. Can’t believe we ran out of food when we tripled the order from last year and then Manny went to Publix and bought three more boxes and we sold out of those too. We bought extra drinks thinking we would have some for the upcoming cruise-ins, but we ran out of them too. My son Joey and his friends Kevin and Matt ran the Hot Wheel races. Everyone enjoyed that, including me even though my AMX was out on the first run. Cheryl took care of the Kiddie Kar show and had the kids coloring and having a good time. Jay-C donated the prize for the people’s choice award, it was a piece of metal with Aiken Horsepower’s Spring Fling painted on it and he pinstriped it at the show, it was really awesome to watch, and then he surprised me and Manny with one he did for us! We love it, and it is now in the man cave. Darryl and Ann did such a good job all around, the trophies, helping so much with the show, you all made this show a really fun event for me. And once again this year Paul did an awesome job. He took care of giving out all the door prizes, had people coming up to bid on the auction items, gave away t-shirts and sunglasses to get the bids going and just kept us going strong! He even had the ladies coming up to the tent telling him what fun he was. When I got home my cheeks were hurting from smiling so much! As usual the club meeting was the following Monday night at the Golden Coral. We had a full house, and had a great meeting. Went over the Spring Fling and what a success it was. Just wait till next year, it is our 10th Annual Spring Fling, so we are going for 200 cars. continued on page 2 2 Now the rest of the year we will continue to do our cruise-ins and whatever else we want to do. So again THANKS to all the club members that have helped with our events and making everything we do so much fun. Keep on Rollin!! Vickie Manny's Mania A big SIGH…….. that is because the Spring Fling has now come and gone and we can rest our minds until next year. As Vickie stated above it was the largest crowd that we have ever had. We had 178 paid entries, at least 20 something that came in after the 12:00 deadline, they did not pay and they were not judged. So Alan, we actually hit your 200 mark this year. And as always a big thanks to all who helped in the planning and the running of our big show this year. What a success it was. Well Vickie has done it to me again; starting this Saturday the club is going to cruise-in to the Make-A-Wish car show, so if you want to cruise to the show as a club, be at Home Depot before 8:45 am. Make sure if you go to the MakeA-Wish show that you write down that you are an Aiken Horsepower member on their form. Make-A-Wish gives out a trophy and $100.00 for the most club participation. As you remember, we won it last year, and I was told no club has ever won it two years in a row, and that is something that I want to change. The following Friday night, May 4th we have our cruise-in to Langley pond again to watch the movie American Graffiti put on by Aiken County Parks and Recreation Department. Once again we will meet at Reid’s parking lot and cruise on in together. We were going to have it at the Mall, but the Mall shot it down, even though we were going to be behind Sears. That is their loss. Then the next day is our regular 1st Saturday cruise-in at Home Depot, but the time changes to 6pm – 8pm. The following weekend is the cruise-in to Cumberland Village from 3pm – 5pm. They have asked us to bring the trailer and play music. So, if you have some old 50’s CD’s and would like to bring them please do. Then last but not least is our cruise-in to the Convocation Center is on May 19th. The time will be posted later for that one. We are trying to get the same area and the field behind it. That would allow more club members to participate this year instead of just the 30 we had last year. This is a health fair, and they give away a lot of goodies. They also give out some good medical advice. We actually had a great time last year just sitting around the tent talking cars. So, as you can see, Vickie is keeping me pretty busy again this year. So until next month, Burn rubber till next time, Manny In 1860..... Charles Goodyear accidentally discovered the rubber vulcanizing process, he patented the process, but couldn’t come up with any practical use for it and died penniless. The Goodyear tire and rubber Company was named after him. In 1886..... BF Goodrich company was started with many firsts: First synthetic rubber tire, first tubeless tire, first American-made radial tire, the first space saver spare and the first “run flat” tire.
