A very good judging school at Ray Skillman’s Museum in February. Ray has a great collection of cars. April’s judging meet at Larry Gerig’s was another opportunity to see a wonderful collection of cars and trucks. The August mini meet at Jamie Heisler’s was a treat, with a beautiful location, finishing the day out with a pontoon cruise around Hamilton Lake and dinner. September was not so kind with our road tour being rained out. The annual picnic in October at Mounds State Park is always a good time with good food and friends. In November we had a double header with our M.C.L business meeting/road tour, to see Richard Foster’s impressive collection. A week later, the Pro Team event in Napoleon, Ohio was held. The judging school and tech session highlighted AC Delco Shock Absorbers. Anyone who was there got a lot of information on shocks, the St. Louis Corvette Assembly Plant, A. O. Smith Plant in Ionia, MI and Muncie Transmissions,!1 presented by 3 great guys.

Tim Hull, Newsletter Editor, Indiana Chapter" !2 Vol 35-4 December 8, 2018 —Points & Plugs— NCRS Indiana Chapter Road Tour Ramblings A beautiful Fall Indiana day in November unfolded in the usual way. First, a business meeting at MCL Cafeteria, and of course lunch. Three Corvettes attended, Cheryll Miller’s Red 1996, Rex Malott’s Red 2001, and Tim Hull’s White 2016." The road tour began from MCL with John, Judy, Carole, and Jim leading the pack, followed by Mike Treece and Cheryll Miller, Rex Malott with Roy Richenbach riding shotgun, Tim and Beckie Hull, and finally Rick Coker occupying the caboose slot. We made our way to New Castle, dispensed with the obligatory U-turn within 30 minutes of the starting pistol. We passed at least one cemetery, were certainly within just a few miles of a Winery and an Ice Cream place." Spotted a few renegade cows, sheep, goats, a pair of mules, and Weenie World." " Caravanning rules: Yellow light....go fast?" We were given the deluxe tour of Richard Fosters collection. Jaguar is obviously a first love, followed by Corvettes, with a sprinkling of Pontiacs, and Fords." Beckie Hull, Occasional Blogger, Indiana Chapter" !
