Cars line the parkway at the Hansen house for a feast!

After a beautiful route through real steed country (yet not a horse was seen…Hmm?) and some run-down shacks, we ended at the lovely home of our hosts, Sue and Ray Hansen. If these folks had a chicken farm, they must have slaughtered them all because the chicken feast that was spread out before us was huge. No chickens were seen in their yard by the way…just sayin’.

Car down during the run. Nothing serious!

Having tallied all the attempted answers and calculating the measurements like a professional land surveyor, Ray announced the winners to the packed house. My take on it, is there were 26 cars and occupants as Winners for finally getting out to shake off the hibernation crud; these are just the top three:

3rd Place – Driver Diana Gonzales and Navigator Tom Hunkele
2nd Place – Driver George Phariss and Navigator Jana Phariss
1st Place – Driver Jim Evans and Navigator Lois Evans

But no CMGC event would be complete without the unfortunate breakdowns. Yes, that’s plural – as in more than one – breakdown. Two steeds were apparently so excited that they sputtered coming out of the gate. Melissa Gonzales had an overheating “situation” which was quickly addressed and The Gorr’s stumbled before the second turn when the car crossed the shadow of the Prince of Darkness. But thankfully Dino was in The Pit to lend aid. All-in-all another Great Day in the CMGC Family!


Fun time at the 2021 Chicken Run today! Some great cars and even better group of club members.
