Title: Yesterday's fun
Post by: garage gnome on May 19, 2013, 09:23:15 PM: Yesterday was an annual event that is held in my town called Chester on Track, it is a celebration of our heritage. A friend of mine and I put on a nice gas engine show there and there was a parade in which the Titan made its public debut. I had my '53 there, I but I didn't run it in the parade.

Here's some pictures of the parade that my mom took. Enjoy! The blue jeep is my friend's '48. I gave it to him and it was a rust pile. He fixed it up and made it presentable.

No the fire chief didn't win the race. ;D
