Alpine Loop Run and Raffle — Another Great Success!
Well gang, Saturday August 21 saw yet another fun and successful event. Yes, it was the club's much honored and anticipated Alpine Loop Run. Those of you who were in attendance I'm sure need no reminding of what a beautiful and enjoyable event it was, and for those of you who weren't in attendance I have this to say: You really missed out.

Those of us from destinations north met up as usual in the SouthTowne Mall parking lot. We were all blessed with the Queen's weather, despite some concern that it might rain. Some of us were further blessed with an unscheduled tour of the suburbs of Draper. (Note to self:When in these situations be sure to follow someone who knows where their going!). No harm was done however and we quickly got back on track, and as far as I know we all ultimately made it (Although we might have lost a few stragglers that I didn't notice, I guess that would just be the British car world's version of survival of the fittest).

The group headed up past Timpanogos and on to the Loop, which was of course breathtaking, and as always well worth taking out those much adored, but admittedly persnickedy British cars.

From there the group headed into the Heber Park, which was of course the location of our much anticipated raffle (We had lunch there too, this may have been more eagerly anticipated than the raffle for those of you who forgot to eat breakfast).

Ticket sales were brisk, and as usual the most entertaining part of the Raffle was the presentation by Rob Green, Mark Bradakis, and Gary Lindstrom. We had lots of great prizes to give away thanks to generous contributors. You'll all be pleased to know that we made lots of money that will help us in the coming months to bring you this newsletter. (Don't think that this excuses you from making further contributions though!)

This year contributors included: Ray Agutter; BBM Auto Restoration (Larry, Mary and Suzanne Bishop), Checker Auto in Kaysville, Eastwood, Sharon Forster, Wasatch Jaguar Registry, Griots Garage, Hemmings Motor News, High Performance Coatings, The Little British Car Co., Moss Motors (Bruce Shilling), The Oasis resort in Mesquite, NV, Kimberly Owens, Pep Boys in Sugar House, The Roadster Factory, TP Tools, Union Jac's, Victoria British, Doug Wimer, andXK's Unlimited.

If you skipped the previous paragraph please go back and read it. It is these generous contributors that help to make this event so great. So be generous in your support of all of our kind contributors. They were all very gracious in helping us to make this one of the most memorable, not to mention successful, Run's ever.
