The 1997 11th Annual Bryans "Old Rip" Car Show was the best and biggest ever. With nearly double the entrants over 1996, the hot, HOT day was a great Car Show day. The only Thunder Boomers we heard was from the Race Cars that attended this years show. They all took the opportunity to enter the "Ground Breaker Delight" at the 97 Show. We also was pleased to get to hear the fastest production car in the world, the Dodge Viper. It just nicely purred like a quite kitten. Not to stop there, immediately followed was a sneak listen to a 34 Ford Roadster. Sounded just like a nice slow drum beat. All in all, there were many beautiful cars, trucks, cycles and even a racing Lawn Mower with wheelie bars. Below is a list of winners and a Special Thanks section. We Thank all the entrants and fans as well and hope to see all of you and more at the 1998 Show.
