What we did on February 20 2021 at Keystone Motor Club.
We meet every 3rd Saturday.
Keep up to date with us and send us a like on facebook under Keystone Motor Car Club.
We started on February 20 2021 as people did an early roll in to Winn Dixie at 930AM
Joe Avanzato arrived before I did.

The February special theme was "I love My Car".
A rough estimate was about 40 cars and 65 people in attendance. Can't say for sure. We try to sign everyone in but missed a few during the rush and there were a few late arrivals. I missed signing in that really nice Plymouth Super Bird that was parked close to the building near Winn Dixie.

Someone suggested that we start a do-it-yourself sign-in sheet on the refreshments table. So we did! This may save us some time since crowds are getting bigger and better. We were flagging people in over the new finish line. Joe Avanzato was the flag person, and a few others...

But I spent too much time BSing about people's cars instead of signing people in. I need to focus on signing people in.
A closed hood is just a parked car, but AN OPEN HOOD IS A CAR SHOW!

Attendees can park the car, open the hood and scatter out faster than we can sign them in! Everyone was having a good time helping themselves to GI Coffee, hot tea, cookies, candy and Reeses supplied by the WOK/Women Of Keystone.
-------------------------------
Before we started, I expressed to the meeting that we are blessed with warm weather, and comparing to Texas, we have no snow, no frozen windmills denying us electricity, and no frozen water pipes. In Texas, Walmart cannot open to sell people food because the govt "Rules" say they cannot open unless they have running water.....so people cannot buy food, bottled water, blankets, heaters and other supplies until frozen pipes are fixed.

Florida has over a 99% recovery rate from covid and "Cases" are not "deaths". Thanks for coming out. Outdoors masks are optional, and there are no judgements about your choices.
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
The 50/50 winner received $60. We had a variety of door prizes that were Valentine oriented, plus some special presentations. Keystone Motor Club Founders Sam and Carol Prentice were recognized by Gen as the longest married couple with 63 years together.

Vic Piano performed entertainingly as Guest Master of Ceremonies (GMC even though he drove one of his Fords lol ). At 11AM, we began acknowledging a few people who make things work within Keystone Motor Club. Our thanks to Milt Roorda who arrived early and placed the signs for our meeting.

Isabella Bradley is the club photographer and cares for Keystone Motor Club's Facebook page. Her photos appear on post #'s 317 thru 323 of this newsletter and our facebook is "Keystone Motor Car Club" if you will send a couple likes to some of the pictures. So far we have 35 facebook likes and 57 followers.Mark Duetsch has posted two of his pictures on KMC's facebook. You can send pics or stories to Isabella atsteelclassic23@Yahoo.com.

Gen Rummy is in charge of each WOK/Women Of Keystone project, plus Gen edits and prints the club history, plus the pass-out notices for car shows, and I am greatful for the help.
------------------------------------
Other clubs represented were Classic T-Birds of Tampa Bay and two Mustang Clubs. We should have asked if they wanted to tell when and where they meet and their upcoming events. We will get better at recognizing other clubs and offering them a few moments to speak.
-----------------------
We were visited by the Editor and Publisher of Motoring Tampa Bay Magazine,
Nitish Rele, and he personally brought over magazines for everyone. Keystone Motor Club now has our meeting notices added to their calendar of car meets.
-------------------------
Gen operated the 50/50 along with Jeanne Montgomery (if I got that right) passing out door prizes while Vic Piano announced the winners. The $150 collectible Big Red Rod was won on a single $1 ticket purchase. We had guaranteed a $25 payout for the 50/50, and the winner got $60.
------------------------
Several people were taking pictures.
HELP! I need some of those pictures! Not only for this newsletter, but also for the club history and facebook. You can email them to me...address is at the bottom of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------
Keystone currently needs someone as an Essential Sign-in Person (ESP) and we need another person to help Joe Avanzato flag people in. I thank you, sir for your help today.
---------------------------------------------------
We are still collecting pictures of people and their cars for the club history.
Want to have you and your car in the same picture? Email Bob Vail... the address and phone are at the page bottom. I would also like to do some interviews where you tell me about your car and some car things that you have gone to or remember from past times.
-----------------
The Keystone Motor Club's Highly Informal Strictly Voluntary newsletter now has over 19,000+ views, a gain of 2,000 views from the January meeting. Remember when we had only 7,000 views a year ago?
https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/e...or-club-9.html
Our thanks to the person who went there and read it another 2,000 times! LOL
------------------------------
Thanks to all donations we collected $60 and when added, brought a total $247 into the KMC treasury as of February 20 2021. This is the public acknowledgement to all members at post #359 in the Keystone newsletter: Bob Vail is voluntarily acting as KOT (Keeper of Treasury) holding the total amount of $247 for the club.
We had guaranteed $25 payout for the 50/50, and the winner got $60.
------------------------------
Not everyone signed in...not all cars....but we will get better at this.
-------------------
We need a volunteer or two, to sometimes step up and sign people in and we are looking
for a few good people to occasionally flag people in with the checkered flag as cars arrive.

We had 40 cars and over 60 people. Hot coffee, hot tea and a bunch of Lorna Doone cookies were the hit of the party. Lorna Doone showed up wearing a green jump suit with a colorful tartan. Ricky Veneziale drove his rare '63 Ford Falcon Ranchero over at 930AM to flag in antique and classic cars over the finish line as they arrived at the car show. All attendees received a History of Lorna Doone from Gen Rummy. Lorna Doone was a .real person
------------------------
------------------------

29 cars officially entered the blue ticket NO ENTRY FEE car show. It was open to Street Cars, Daily Drivers, Show Cars, Race Cars,.... anything with a motor. Best of show winner Angel Negron (Datsun 260 Z) took home the Trophy and Best of show winner Mark Coppa (Mercedes street car) chose a $25 Rock Auto Parts Automotive Gift Certificate. Angel Negron came with his son just to look at cars and so did Mark Coppa....until they both got the no-cost blue ticket...and WON!
--------------------
--------------------

A Thank you to Ed and Jeanne Montgomery (Tampa Bay Antique Classic Vehicle Club and Keystone Motor Club) who came in their Mustang and helped with the drawing and sold $1 red tickets for Door prizes and the $139 collectible. The "guaranteed $25" 50/50 actually paid $51 to the winner. Gen Rummy and Jeanne Montgomery ran the drawing. Vic Piano Founder of Cigar City Flatheads announced all drawing winners.

What Keystone Motor Club Did on April 17 2021

The April 17th Car show was the most fun ever.
The “Cackleberry Party” that weekend at the Keystone Motor Club was an outstanding success.
There were cackleberries everywhere and lots of eager members to play, "Let's make a deal!" The Women of Keystone not only provided hot coffee and tea, but pastries were also on the serving table, provided by Renee Martoglio along with all sorts of other candies and treats. Thanks to Ed and Jean Montgomery for operating the 50/50. The winner of the guaranteed $25 payout got $50 instead! We also gave away a dual power air compresssor as the grand prize.

With close to 50 cars signed in, and about 75 people visiting and having fun. Many prizes including the “Let's Make a Deal” trophies, (winners could choose the Gold and Red Trophy or the Red and Gold Trophy.......lol.....) and the 50/50 drawing had $50 in it. Fifty seemed to be the lucky number. Nitish Rele delivered copies of Motoring Tampa Bay Magazine. Keystone Motor Club is featured on page 8. Extra copies are on the WOK/Women of Keystone's table.

We paid Tribute to Herb and Carol Wagner with the first of the Memorial
Car shows. We read a tribute and history of their '63 Chevy Impala Convertible, named "Sunshine". The car was on the grounds for all to see. Jim Filcheck drove over his '69 Chevelle and won Best of Show. Wesley Shallow drove his '69 Camaro over and won Best Of Show.

Keystone has some 3 foot trophies donated by Keystone Motor Club Founders Sam and Carol Prentice. for when we have 60 or more cars.

On September 18 2021 at Keystone Motor Club,

"As I was motivatin over the hill, I saw Mabellene in a Coupe DeVille........"
Actually that was Chuck Berry. Pardon me folks, I just spent the weekend listening to
50's and 60's Rock and Roll...... that's my excuse. : ) lol
------------------

As I was motivatin up Gunn Highway on my way to Keystone Motor Club,
I saw the largest single raindrop ever, splatted right on my windshield in front of me.
I'm thinking: Thank goodness it wasn't a bird taking a poop!
-------------------

The night before, I had emailed the Keystone Rain Plan to the membership.
(check the newsletter, post #415)
When I left that morning in the fully loaded and mercifully loaned pickup truck of Gen Rummy, the sky was overcast but not raining, and I was glad that I sent out the plan....and it was not raining.

By the time I drove into the parking lot at Winn Dixie at Gunn Hwy and Van Dyke, it was a different story. It was raining.
-------------------

On the trip up Gunn Hwy I had been hoping that I would not be the only person there. I had in my pocket the guaranteed $25 for the 50/50 and a Gift Certificate from Rock Auto Parts.com. I had promised that if only one person showed up, that person would get the Best Of Show trophy, the guaranteed cash and the Gift Certificate. Man was I surprised.
-------------------
The parking lot was filled.
I'm thinking how blessed I am that all these wonderful car loving fanatics came out today.
Immediately some of them jumped in and set up two tents, tables, and all the stuff that goes on them.
Then the rain quit.
-------------------
By the 11AM deadline, I had signed in everyone who wanted to, for the NO ENTRY FEE car show,
the five or six Corvette guys had held a handiwork demonstration/class/BS session on a unique project under the rear hatch of a mid engine 'Vette, Milt Roorda had hand-cranked up three of his vintage outboard motors as a demonstration, and Denise Johnson of Gulf Coast Cruisers had taken pictures and a video for their GCC newsletter, //www.tamparacing.com/forums/event-coverage/844895-newsletter-gulf-coast-cruisers.html....and their facebook page

Both Vic Piano and Rosemary Roorda had their hoods open on "new" rides. Vic to show the nicest show engine I ever saw on a 1940 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet, and Rosemary's 36 Buick coupe had the only straight 8 seen by me.....ever. I'm wondering if the Buick has to be double clutched or if it has a synchronized manual transmission. Vic had his Hot Rod featured in the center section of September's Motoring Tampa Bay, along with Rickster, and John Berti's Corvette in other issues.

As is the Keystone custom we gave a few moments for car clubs to speak about their club and/or what they are doing such as the Hope For Children Ministry car show on 25 September at QSL and the newly formed Gulf Coast Cruiser Club.

Wesley Shallow got his 69 Camaro wet to win Best of Show, and the gift certificate went to
Dr She of HFTCM. The rainy day 50/50 was operated by Dick Peterson and paid $40 to the winner.
The trophies for the Herb and Carol Wagner Memorial Car Show are getting bigger, if anyone has not noticed....and next month's October Best Of Show will be over two feet tall.

People could stay, or BS and visit as long as they wanted to at Winn Dixie. John Berti, the Roordas, Vic Piano, Dick Peterson and a few others helped me reload Gen Rummy's pickup truck, and Milt's outboards. Gen Rummy will return after her knee heals.

I thank each and every one of you that came out.
Have a great Day folks!.......and some of your great days will be Rainy Great Days!
-Bob
