It was an early morning
for some of us to drive up to Park City for the annual Miners
Day parade. This is more of a festival for locals as opposed to
some of the activities in PC designed to bring megabucks up from
SLC. We had a nice turnout of BMCU cars - a number of the usual
suspects were present and a couple of surprises as you can see
below. Since the route was all down hill, no one overheated except
the drivers. That was quickly remedied with some tall cool ones
at the end of the parade.

Cars begin to line
up at the top of the hill in downtown Park City. In addition
to the B's, T's, Spits and TR6's, there were a couple of seldom
seen cars like the MGB-GT. |
|
The
fire department came by as we were getting ourselves ready for
the launch - maybe to check to see if there was a big oil slick
to clean up. |
|
Mike
Denoso puts the finishing touches on his Morris Minor pickup.
You can't see it here, but Mike has flames on his belt, hat and
shoes to match the paint job on the car. |
|
Julie
Robinson gives final instructions to Angel and Luca. Luca was
insisting on driving, but gave way when Bill showed up. |
|
And
away we go. Some familiar faces and cars of loyal club supporters
Bill and Julie Van Moorhem and Jon Hermance led the way. |
|
Ever
popular, Hyacinth makes her way down the boulevard. |
|
Joe
Chou and daughter Ruby head down the street in Joe's B sporting
a very large American flag and a smaller flag from Joe's native
Taiwan. You just know that Jon Hermance was hoping to find some
cones he could turn into a quick little course along the way,
but alas there were none to be found. Behind them are Mitch Johnson
and Doug Wimer. |
|
Bill
Robinson and his crew are followed by Bill Walton and Julie Robinson
in that nifty green B. |
|
Here's
Gary and Sandy Lindstrom in that beautiful TR3 along side Dennis
Hoagland in his MGB. |
|
Triumph
was well represented with Spits, TR3, TR6, TR250 all gleaming
in the bright mountain sun. Here are Kent and Chris Jensen. |
|
Mitch
Johnson and Mike Denoso were definite crowd pleasers. Mike Voelckers
MGB-GT can be seen in the background. |
|
This
Spit with New York plates was a newcomer to the club and a proud
participant in its first event, driven by April Voelckers. |
