Join TE/AE for our mid summer gathering at the Collings Foundation in
Stow, MA.
Race of the Century
Saturday, August 16th
Stow, MA
Hours: 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM
An extraordinary event that pits some of the greatest technological
advancements in air and ground transportation against each other in a
series of "races"
Exhibits and displays throughout the event. Races start around 1:00 PM
Entire Facility Open Daily: 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM
Gate Fee: $15 Adults / $10 Children
What are the races? How about a horse and carriage vs. a 1905 Franklin
or a Stanley Steamer? A Stutz Bearcat vs. 1909 BLERIOT? A 1937 Offy
sprint car vs. a Stearman? Want more info and directions? All the
answers are on the Foundation's web site at:
http://www.collingsfoundation.org/cf_RofC2008.htm
In addition, I have some photos from my visit to their open house last
spring (no races) at: http://www.pbase.com/sb_photos/bobstoys
I have checked with the Foundation staff, and if we get there early
enough we would probably be able to park together. So plan on being
there by 10:00. Bring a picnic lunch or buy food on site. There's
plenty to see, since there is quite a collection of antique aircraft and
cars. Rides in the aircraft are available for a substantial fee, but
there is advanced booking. Check the web site for details if you are
interested.
Note: The races are on both Saturday and Sunday. We are going on
Saturday, saving Sunday for a rain date.
Please RSVP so I have some idea how many are coming.
