Two of our most long and loyal former board members are in need of our thoughts & prayers at this time. Bill Palmer has been under the weather for some time now and had taken a fall a little while back and could use some cheering up. I think a few cards would do the trick to bring his spirits back. Also, we have just learned the Arlene Stone wife of past President Bill Stone has had a stroke a few months back and is not able to be at home with Bill who has been home bond with a long term illness himself. Please keep all these folks in your prayers as they have a long road ahead of them. Cards can be sent to: Bill Palmer and Bill & Arlene Stone in care of MARFC P.O. Box 66436, Roseville, MI 48066 and will see they receive them ASAP.

It was a great afternoon of racing for MARFC members at Waterford Hills Raceway in Clarkston, Mich. Competing on the picturesque 13 turn mile and a half road course were a great variety of vintage racers. The MARFC Helmet Bag was awarded to driver Vytas Svedas from Dundas, Ontario, Canada who races a 1966 Alfa Romeo Guilia. Thanks to Joel Hershoren, Kathy Arnold, and the rest of the Waterford Hills staff for welcoming MARFC to this beautiful facility for a fun afternoon of racing.Pictured is with Rand Thompson, Vytas, and Sue Ginter and also a picture of his cool red No. 23 Alfa.
