Annual BASH (Bring A Sunbeam Here)
Sat 18 May, 2013
“Where Sunbeams and friends meet”
The 38th annual spring BASH is going back to its Rootes, the way it started, a FIX-IN at Tiger Tom’s and Joanne’s in Annville, PA. Bring something broke! There will be enough talent, experience and wisdom in our ranks to heal anything. Valve Cover Racing will be a centerpiece of excitement. Think Pine Wood Derby on steroids. Take your favorite valve cover, add wheels and go racing. Sunbeam valve covers encouraged or use brand X, but bring a valve cover on wheels. Classes for all ages. See simple rules. As usual, the BASH will be an enriching family experience. We will begin with our early arrivals
on Friday the 17th by taking an excursion through the ONLY canal tunnel in the United States, the Union Canal Tunnel. (Google Union Canal Tunnel) followed by a Dutch treat dinner.

Saturday starts whenever Sunbeams show up in the morning;.dawn? Or the first owner brings something broke. We’ll have a nice catered hot lunch and a picnic for those staying for supper. This IS the day where friends with a Sunbeams meet old and new friends. The BASH is conveniently scheduled the same weekend as Import Carlisle. There will also be activities to engage the whole family, kids, grandkids, and old codgers, even side trips to Hershey events during the BASH.

Please register before Saturday May 4th ,however we still welcome drive-ins. Side dishes and desserts are requested if you can. Last names beginning A to L, please bring a dessert and M to Z a side dish.

Valve Cover Available

Would put this into for sale section BUT it is a single Offenhauser valve cover from a Corvair, That is right one.

Great paper weight when not racing or a pot for a house plant. For say 10 bucks plus shipping?

Sounds like a fun time.
