I've got one just like it, except mine is only for third place. Jim Wangers was on my case for years to go to Tiger Run. After first going in 2008, I never missed another one. It was a great event.

Yah, that white car always beat my 67 Tempest convertible. Got so tired of losing, I sold it.

I made it to a Tiger Run around 10 years ago but don’t remember exactly what year. It was a fantastic event, and I even got to sit down and chat with Jim Wangers for a couple hours in the pits on race day as my buddy’s pit was across from the Ponte Carlo and GeeTo Tiger. It was a fascinating discussion about the Glory Days.

Very fun event. Hope to go once again. Next time I'll bring the cruiser instead of the racer.

There's a good chance it was 2012. We all caravaned up from San Diego. That's the year they had the Elvis impersonator that was so good.

Yeah I love going to Tiger Run. I went for about 15 years when it was in Bend then in Redmond then over to Eagle Crest then back to Bend. I told my wife that I would go to all of her family reunions on Memorial weekend every year just don't change to another weekend. We came from Maryland then I left here family for half of the reunion to a Great car show. I met some really nice people like Bob, John Eiseman, Keith Gorski, Grant Baber, Greg and many others. Sense there has not been a Tiger Run we changed our reunion to August much nicer weather on the coast then.
If they have another one I have to to get them to change the reunion date again. Thanks Guys for putting on a wonderful show every year and also the POCI convention in Portland. I miss Tiger Run event I looked forward to it every year.

I didn't start going until 2008, when they were at Eagle Crest. I went to every one after that. Eagle Crest was my favorite place for a car show.
