Reply to "POCA's Lone Star Fun Rally - May 2015"

Fun Rally is just a few weeks away. Texas is getting ready for you.

David Bell is scheduled to lead a drive to the Blue Bell Creamery for an Ice Cream tour as one of the Fun Rally activities. However, Blue Bell has gotten a black-eye in the national news recently with product tainted with listeria. The family owned business has elected to recall all product and voluntarily close their facilities to cleanse the lines. At this time, probably not the best tour opportunity. Ya Think!!

We have replaced the tour with a visit to the De Lorean Motor Car Factory. Yes, they are still built here in Humble, TX. Steve Wynn owns the company and purchased all leftover inventory from the original factory. They are a full restoration shop and are even building an electric version for sale. They are a passionate bunch and have a good display of DMC-12s in progressive stages of assembly.

We are delighted that Tom Tjaarda will be joining us and presenting his recent projects and thoughts at the Banquet. Tom, now in his 80s, will be present for the entire event and perhaps with a bit of coaxing, may sign your dash.

I hope that you will join us at this year's POCA Lone Star Rally. The new geography will bring some different faces and cars generally not seen on the west coast.

We are submitting the order for Rally shirts next week. Whether you are coming to the Rally or not, you may take advantage of the shirt offer. Info is on the POCA website. Please do so before next Tuesday.
