Thanks are extended, in no particular order to: Jay Triche, Kevin and Cindy Nerden, Jim and Dan Armantrout, Tom Evans, Augustine Esposito, Peter Tran, Reid Libby, Ron Feingold, Steve Zeider, Mitchell Reichwein, Chris and Denise Hovland, Ann Marie Whaley and Paul Montgomery, Joss Rodgers, Andy Takakjian, Bruce Branstad, Art Whitney, Kevin Thompson, William B. Bibbiani, Jamie Simpson, Ben Dennison, Bobby Florentz, Stormy Rice, Toni Frank and Basil, et al. This year’s show awards were judged by Mark Hoyer of Cycle World, Bill Stermer of Rider Magazine, Reid Libby of Free-2-Wheel, Bill Getty of JRC Engineering and Paul Garson, a prolific moto-journalist. The old “rider’s choice” balloting had become too cumbersome and time consuming. This year’s winners of the best bikes awards included: Tim Green, 1960 Norton 99; Mars Webster, Egli-Vincent; Phil Lankford, 1950 Triumph 6T; Brian Kane, 66 Triumph bobber; Ron Fiore, 1954 BSA A-7; and Ron and Don Massey won Best of Show on matching 1963 BSA Rocket Gold Stars!
