Tigers
United XXVII/Tigers at Tahoe, June 19-21, 2003
The Harvey's Top of the Wheel was the venue for the Awards Banquet. Grreat views of the surrounding mountains and lake plus a Buffet to die for. Oysters on the half shell and jumbo shrimp were two of the many appetizers. The main course items were good too.
Many many many (get it) raffle prizes were won and then the Awards were announced. The traditional awards and fun awards for special things done and for special cars not recognized in the regular judging. All and all a nice ending to a terrific Tigers United.
And did I mention that Carroll Shelby and George Boskoff of Shelby American were there!
