Monthly Meeting Minutes October 16, 2017

44 Members in attendance

  CMGC President Ray Hansen opened the meeting at 8:00 pm.

Car Project
‘Sparky’ Sparks noticed the steering rack boots were torn so spent some time replacing them. Noted also the status of his car repairs from the WCB tour breakdown. It turns out the intense smoking from his exhaust was not from a blown head gasket as first reported, but rather the result of topping up his gas tank for the tour with diesel fuel in error! After having the car towed and the fuel lines cleaned out, he’s ready to go for the next outing.
