22nd Wings and Wheels Oct. 11

The 22nd annual Wings and Wheels Car Truck and Motorcycle Show – one of the largest shows in the Southeast each fall – will be held at the Museum of Aviation Oct. 11. The show will again welcome more than 250 show-quality vehicles competing for more than 100 awards in 50 different year-group and type-vehicle classes.

Wings and Wheels is a family-oriented show with no alcoholic beverages allowed. Registration on show day is held from 8-11 a.m. and awards are presented at 3:45 p.m. “We’re trying to have the awards ceremony earlier this year so everyone can get home sooner,” said Bob Dubiel, who has chaired every show since 1995. The registration fee is $25 if postmarked by Oct. 3 and $30 thereafter and on show day. The judging classes and registration form can be found at www.museumofaviation.org.

Attractions will include monster truck rides around the Museum grounds, kiddie car races in the picnic area, “Cruizin’ to the Oldies” with DJ Tommy Landrum, a silent auction, food and car-related vendors and a cars-for-sale “Corral.” There will also be a large 50/50 drawing, a raffle of a battery operated kiddie car and several door prizes.

Poker Fun Run

In conjunction with the show, the Corvettes Ltd. Of Central Georgia Car Club helps the Museum of Aviation Foundation do a Wings and Wheels Poker Fun Run. It will be held Oct. 10 with registration at the Museum of Aviation from 6-6:45 p.m. Poker Run hands are $10 each, and more than one player can play in each vehicle.

Pre-registration is not required. Any type vehicle can be used to do the run, which takes players to several business fronts in Warner Robins to draw cards.

The route ends at Steak and Shake at Watson Boulevard and Margie Drive with a parking lot party with Landrum. Players may buy an additional card at the end for $1 and play their best 5-card poker card. Cash Prizes are $75 for first place, $50 for second place and $25 for third place and several door prizes are also given out.
