July 17, 2021 — With showers and thunderstorms in the forecast once again in this already rain-soaked July, I risked venturing out to the first of two car shows. The first was at the Aviation Museum in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Skies were overcast and humidity was high but no rain was falling when I left the house. Turnout was good at the show, not as high as last year, but there may have been 200 cars and plenty of spectators to admire them.
Around mid-morning, rain began and quickly turned into a deluge. Fortunately, this was one of those shows where spectators can park near the show field and I didn't have too far to run for the shelter of my car. I waited out the downpour in my car and it was over in about 15 minutes. Everyone returned to the field, no cars had left and the show resumed.
Around noon I left for the Norm Wrenn Memorial car show at Lee Raceway in Lee, New Hampshire. Wrenn, who had recently passed away, was a supporter of many charities and local children and the car racing community. A feature of the show was a burnout contest on the race track. Screeching tires, screaming engines, lots of noise and smoke made from some pretty good video, even through a chain link fence. There was no more rain.
