Awards Banquet

Awards Banquet

Good food, great cars, cookies and candy bars made for an excellent Merkur banquet. Add to that a guest appearance by Bill Miller of Carlisle Events, a new and improved MCA awards presentation and some fantastic prizes capped off by Dave Planakis giving away an 86 XR, and you've got the greatest Merkurs at Carlisle events ever.
