General News

Well, this is the last newsletter before the big event. If you haven't done so already, it's time to tune up those T's! Sam's phone number is (406) 431-5471 if you need to talk to him. You can also call me (Tom) at 509-535-7789. Hopefully everyone knows to meet at the Outlaw Hotel in Kalispell on June 17th. It is the Best Western Inn located at 1701 Highway 93 South. Some alternative accomodations are listed on the web page www.antiqueautoranch.com/montana500.

In order to plan better, could you please signal your intentions for the run. There are three easy ways to let us know if you plan to attend.

1. Call (509) 535-7789 (day) or (509) 922-1805 (eve.)

2. E-mail (montana500@antiqueautoranch.com)

3. Write (7516 E. Mission, Spokane, WA 99212)

This would help us out a bunch, and we thank you kindly.

Thanks to Carl Walden for his fine article on touring along with the 500. Thanks to Steve Coniff for information about the Colorado group, and to David Lingle, son of Melvin, for the profile on his uncle, Evan Lingle. I would like to do a profile on every single driver who has run (over 150 of them). If anyone could contribute a little bit about someone whom they know or have driven against, or even about themselves, I would sure be much obliged.
