It turned out to be a beautiful day at Mike's Farm outside of Beulaville, NC. Mostly sunny with a high of about 72°. We had about 70 cars in attendance. The Region Board had their business meeting inside Mike's Farm Restaurant at 9 AM, while our Chief Judge, Herb Oakes was out at the entrance of the show filed checking in cars. After the cars got their windshield cards, they moved forward onto a covered bridge where they would have their picture taken before proceeding to their assigned spot.
As always, AACA members love to eat and we had great food available here. If you couldn't wait 'til noon, at 10AM Mike's Farm opened up their Hot Dog stand. But it was worth the wait for noon. Mike's Farm normally opens at 4pm but for us they opened at noon. If you took your dash plaque along into the restaurant you got a discount on your meal. At Mike's Farm it is all you can eat Pork tenderloin, Fried Chicken (some of the best you'll ever have), Green Beans, Corn, Mac & Cheese (again some of the best you'll have have), ham biscuits, all served family style to the table. Then for desert you had a choice of cheesecake with different toppings, strawberry shortcake, and a couple of others.
About 2:30 Herb starting presenting the awards.

Founders Award - Herb Oakes
|
|
The Founders AwardNational Director, selected by his fellow directors who, in their opinion, has contributed outstandingly to the guidance of AACA toward its founding principles: the perpetuation of the pioneer days of automobiling by furthering the interest in and the preserving of antique cars, and the promotion of sportsmanship and of good fellowship among all its members. The trophy itself is the actual steering wheel from the 1907 Thomas Flyer driven by Montague Roberts in the 1907 Briarcliff Road Race, given to Robert and Dorthea Laurens in 1952 by their dear friend Montague Roberts, one of the great pioneer race drivers of the early 20th century, and presented to AACA in 1975 through the efforts of Founding Members Frank Abramson, Ted Brooks, Earle Eckel, Sr., and Ted Fiala, Sr., for use as the “Founders Award Steering Wheel Trophy,” by Mr. And Mrs. Laurens in memory of “Monty Roberts.” |
