It was a beautiful day, couldn’t have asked for better weather to meet with friends and hang out. The first meet for The Slicks took place at Roaring Rapids, we had a better turn out than I had feared, with such a busy weekend. But in all a dozen people came, most of them slick owners, the rest support staff. We even had a brief run in with Johnny Law - what a way to christen a new club!
Roger and Alice and their nephews (both boys have helped Roger with his Uni), Arnold and Gerrie (Beautiful ‘65 teal) , Robert and Susie (‘65 Flat bed 4x4), Bud and Kari (Blue ‘65), John and his daughter Page (who has a slick of her own in the build process). It was nice to get together, I think almost everyone met someone new.
Gerrie made a comment that I thought was so very true. We had so many different types and ages of people, but as Gerrie noted we all have a common bond that brings us together. It was great fun even if the meeting place was a bit noisy.
Our next get together will be the Function 4 Junction. We will try to coordinate as best as possible before the event. Since you can’t pre register we will try to get together so maybe we can park near each other in the show. How neat would it be to have a group of slicks all together! As Ross has pointed out, even if you aren’t in it to show your truck , by paying to get into the show and shine, you are guaranteed a parking place and can sit with the cooler or walk around and see the other vehicles. You can’t lose!
We hope to see you there. If not, we will meet again in Mid July. This time I think we will meet at a park and barbeque up some hotdogs. Better place to talk.
