Welcome
Well gang, it’s time to get it in gear for a couple of events that the CCCEF has planned in upcoming months. First is the Real Man’s Yard Sale, held up at the markets at Shrewsbury on August 17, 2024. This is a rain or shine event, and you can register by finding an application in the June/July issue of the Car Show and Cruise Guide or by printing one from our webpage savethhobby.org. Bear in mind that we will be policing space usage, so be sure you purchase a site that is suitable for what you have to sell and your vehicle, if you choose to leave it on your spot. Second, our fall car show that will be held at Big Truck Farm Brewery up in Parkton, Maryland on September 14. Keep an eye out for registration information both on social media and our webpage as well as this magazine.
Now for a little pontification… Some people may get it and others may not, but as a very good friend of mine has reminded me and my closest friends we are in the fourth quarter of our life in football speak.
Now is not the time shy away from doing those things that you’ve always wanted to do, or spending time with people in your life that matter to you.
I found out this weekend.
A couple of my friends close friends passed away unexpectedly with some words that were unsaid. Try not to be that person!
We, and by that I mean the large majority of our readers, are the door to our hobbies’ continued existence. It is entirely up to us to reach out to younger folks to give them the key.
For our younger readers, take the time to get close to your elders in this sport… We are a wealth of information.
If you happen to be a young person participating in this sport, you have the distinct advantage of befriending some of your elder friends to better your understanding of our hobby and cars in general. Learn to listen to our conversations so that you can glean whatever history might be tossed around during those conversations. It won’t be a wasted effort! Don’t waste the opportunity. As it has been said by many, tomorrow is never guaranteed so make the absolute most of today.
I’ll see you on the return road… Doug
