He points out that several of the car show visitors are from out-of-town and going to the Stock Jamestown Speeday Stock Car Stampede on Friday and Saturday.

He adds, there may be more than 200 cars in the show.

On Thursday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, club member Tom Ravely said, again this year there will be vintage cars coming from The Shed, automobile museum in Warroad, Minnesota, including a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 pace car, one of only 150 built, along with a 1970 Chevelle LS5 454 convertible, one of less than 100.

Clayton Wolff’s 1929 Chevrolet pickup will be there, that he is restoring that at one time belonged to relatives of both Wolff and the Wilhelms through the Gackle Chevrolet dealership.

A cure is yet to be found, as Huntington’s disease is an inherited brain disorder that results in the progressive loss of mental faculties and physical control.

An individual who has been diagnosed with Huntington’s disease will eventually die from pneumonia, heart failure or other complications.

During our show, Tom pointed out that the James Valley Street Machines holds regular meetings, and members participate in Sunday night rides along with the Blacktop Tour covering 700 miles during the three day event.
