Eric:

It was good seeing you yesterday. It was for sure a longer drive for you this year. Great job on the photos. We had some different cars there this year and some very nice ones. Too bad we didn't have todays weather which is letter perfect.

It was great seeing you and your wife again. Actually the drive from Granbury to Gainesville was quite pleasant on HWY 51. No traffic and very scenic although the wind was pushing the car around a bit. I did a MPG check, 10.3, a little better than the 6 its been getting around town. I didn't stay for dinner because I've got cataracts and can't see at all out of my right eye anymore. Supposed to get that fixed next month.
I agree, some very nice cars, some drove a pretty good distance. There was 1 from San Antonio and 1 from Wimberly. Joe dragged the Run to Rund car quite a ways (I forget) also. Joe, I apologize that you needed to wipe my forehead/palm prints off the side windows and the drool off your car and engine compartment, sweet ride.

Joe Donnelly brought it from Henderson, NV. He was in ABQ but moved recently. He's active here: "Run To Rund" handle.

Thanks for the great pictures....

Run to Rund

April 24th, 2017 12:49 PM

Thanks. I am pleased that you like the Rund car; it was a labor of love to re-create this historic race car, and especially gratifying that the original racer (John Molnar) raced it (2007 OCA Nationals) and approved ("this is the car!") Its first show was the OCA Nationals in Texas, 2006. The Rund Motor Co. motto was "Run to Rund for your Oldsmodeal."

Looks like some nice cars. I wish I didn't have to work Saturday. Would have been nice to say hello and catch up with everyone.

Looks like a great turn out... Are they mostly Texas vehicles or were some other states represented besides the 66 Rund car (great vehicle by the way)...
Thanks for sharing the Texas Olds population with us...
On a side note, both my 66 and 67 were originally purchased in Texas, a story for another time...:):)

Thanks for posting the Pictures Eric, so many nice cars. Nice to see Oldsmobile guys hooking up and having a good day other than the cool windy temps. I wish I lived down that way, I'm getting tired of the winters up here in Canada!!

Mostly North Texas, there are a few other Texas Olds orgs scattered around the state.

Thanks Eric for taking these great looking photos - sorry I did not have more time to talk with you.

Our total car count was 42 on the show field, and at least 6 more cars not being able to attend due to mechanical problems or weather concerns. On Friday night, we had a tornado on the ground about 15 miles south of us in Valley View, and somehow we avoided all damaging hail. In Muenster Texas, another short distance away, they had golfball plus sized stones fall on them. Yikes...

I'm going to be proposing changing our Zone Show date to September or late May in the future - we've had three years in a row of bad weather in April.

As mentioned earlier, Joe Donnelly was the furthest away show entry, but the banquet attendees chose to award the long distance award to some gentlemen who drove their real 69 Hurst all the way from Sandia Peak in New Mexico. The car has a Class 3 hitch on it! We also had attendees from Oklahoma, West, Central, and South Texas.

Special thanks to all the CO members for attending and again sorry for my anti social behavior. I had to direct all the incoming cars to their spots, and then somehow wound up on a judging team that did 13 cars.

No problem Joe had a great time. I'm sorry I couldn't stay for the dinner, I can't see at night to drive. Hopefully the eye surgery next month will bring my sight back in my right eye.
Your last newly restored project also looked awesome. I also look forward to seeing Heaths wagon when it gets out of paint purgatory.

Although I had come the I35 route, I also ventured back to Parker Co via FM51, I would agree that it was low traffic, picturesque and low stress route all together. Kudos to Joe (and spouse) with the Rock'n Rund car for longest distance as well as Roger Green driving his '69 H/O from Albuquerque... The show is clearly as much about the people as it is about cars. The conversation flows well and pretentious egos are generally absent with this group. I've even managed to get to meet other members while doing parking lot security from 2am-4am.. Thanks for sharing the photos Eric, I did not take the time to shoot even one. I was too busy socializing..:rolleyes: The car that grabbed me the hardest was the '66 tri-power,four speed. What a nice car!:D

I truly enjoy this show annually, a very knowledgeable and family friendly group. I encourage everyone with/or interest in an Oldsmobile to make it, you will not be disappointed.

Here is the link to my photobucket with my pictures from the show. Eric did a nice job and there will be a lot of duplication here. This really is a fun event and one I look forward to all year. A special thanks to all our NTOC members who worked so hard to put this on.
