Gentlemen Start Your Engines
Normally at the Northwest Regional Model A Meet, the Volcano A's sponsored an event "Gentlemen Start Your Engines". Teams of 4 members each from attending clubs participated in correcting engine defects placed by the Volcano A's team. Teams were provided with tools and parts to get the cars running. Each team was given 10 minutes to correct the problems, get the car started, and running properly. The team with the "best time" was declared the winner. Trophies have been awarded to the winning team members. The last year of this event was 2012 as host clubs did not want to provide Model A's for the event. We have not sponsored this event since 2012.
