Palo Alto British Car Meet's Final Year At El Camino Park
Dear Readers,
It is with great regret that I must report that this year will be the last for
the 30-year-old Palo Alto British Car Meet at El Camino Park.
DON'T FRET - WE'LL STILL BE PUTTING ON THE SAME EVENT AT A NEW LOCATION!
The park is going to be reconstructed into an emergency reservoir for Palo Alto
and rebuilt using astroturf on the fields. No more car shows as oil and gas
will damage the new surface.
While this year will be our last at El Camino Park, we are still planning to
provide the same show that you all have come to expect - British cars & trucks,
arcane cars (international), lawn setting, jazz, proper British breakfasts and
lunches and prizes in a bunch of classes. Come join us for the last waltz at El
Camino Park on September 8th & 9th, 2007
We are already looking for a new venue for 2008 and we will keep you posted in
The British Car Network. We would like to thank all of you, especially the
marque clubs, for 30 years of enthusiastic support and all of the fun and good
cheer that you have brought to these meets and our hobby ingeneral.
Long live the British car and the people who cherish them .........
Best,
Rick Feibusch,
British Car Network
Palo Alto British Car Meet Coordinator
