The President’s Message
Bill Mullins President 2017-2018 m00nmullins@yahoo.com

The 500 will be held in Missoula Montana this year and the run will be here before we realize it. The base hotel is My Place. Some information is shown here and http://www.antiqueautoranch.com/montana500 . Again this year we will be using most of Interstate 90 and some of the route may occur on side roads. The route should be finalized after pre driving this spring.

We hope to have a more in depth safety inspection list posted on the above web link. You can download it and use it to do an inspection of your car. It is also included in this newsletter, the last two pages. You will need to sign and bring this safety inspection form showing that you have it done.

We have a couple of new cars being built this year one in my shop belonging to Russell Hanna coming along good. I believe another car is being readied by Don MacLeod. Any others?

Hope to have you all return this year for a great run assuming winter stops before June. A history note: The 1999 500 was run in Missoula and the winner was Sam Nickol with an average speed 45.9 mph. It will be interesting to see what this year will produce.

If you have any question, you can email me at: m00nmullins@yahoo.com Bill Mullins
