Hey Hot Rodders,

The Grand National Roadster Show was awesome. Lots of beautiful cars. World’s most

beautiful Roadster Contenders were all pretty amazing. The winner, 36 Packard built by

Hollywood Hot Rods, it was not my pick but it was a work of art. The GNRS is really cool

and should be on the to do list for every hot rodder.

After a long miserable winter things are starting to happen around here. Already been to a

couple of swap meets with several more coming up. Sunnyside car show is just around the

corner. It’s always fun! Guess I better get out to the shop and finish putting the new trans

in the ’35.

Life’s short, drive a hot rod.

John

ROD RUN REPORT

HI VINTIQUES,

Short but sweet:

Thanks to all that came to the Rodrun meeting in February. We are still looking for to fill

the committee for garbage/trash pickup. I will be meeting with Ray at the fairgrounds to discuss

the possibility of fairgrounds staff helping us with that as well if we can’t staff it. I fear it will be

expensive though.

Other discussions included:

AWARDS: Having more than one place to collect ballots for the Peoples Choice award, (info

booth and Vintiques memorabilia booth) and possibly re-vamping the car award categories.3

MEMBER NEWS

Hot Rod Reunion, Bakersfield CA

If you love vintage dragsters, the Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield, CA is the place to go!

John and I headed down in the ’35 last fall to watch them for the second time. And we plan

to go again! Not only do you see lots of cool old dragsters, but also some racing legends

hanging around the track for the weekend. Tommy “T.V” Ivo, Don Prudhome, John

Force, Del Worsham, Robert Hight…just to name a few. If you drive your hot rod, you get

to park right inside Famoso next to the bleachers so there’s also pretty much a car show to

look at as a lot of people cruise there in their hot rod. They have a swap meet, lots of

venders, pit action and fun events to watch such as the Cacklefest on Saturday night.

John’s favorite is the fuel altereds and mine is the old gassers. Though I have to admit I

get just as big a kick out of watching the pusher cars/trucks and the back-up girls. If you

haven’t been and you’re a drag racing fan, I would definitely suggest you put this on your

bucket list!

Splasher’s Restaurant Saturday Morning Cruise In, Kona, Hawaii

Hey guys, did you know you can take your wife to Hawaii and still enjoy car stuff while

you’re there??? Just ask Bill Wallace. Every Saturday morning a group of hot rodders

meet at Splasher’s restaurant in Kona, Hawaii for an impromptu car show. They have had

as many as 30 cars, the day Bill went there were 14. The 32 Ford Phaeton belongs to Dick

Scritchfield who was an editor of Car Craft Magazine.

From the Editor

Yes, it’s me again! Just here trying to endure the cold winter filling in for Bill while he basks in

the Hawaiian sunshine. He reminded me frequently with pictures of him beside the pool

surrounded by palm trees. Yes, I’m a sucker for agreeing to help him out. But as a typical girl,

revenge will be mine at an unknown time and place. Because we never forget. Ever. In the

meantime, here’s a nice picture of Bill’s sexy legs as he lays by the pool. Let’s just hope they

have accumulated a little more tan before he returns home.

On an actual official newsletter item, for new club officers and committee heads, please review

your contact info in the newsletter and send Bill any missing or updated information. Getting

excited to see you all out and about this spring!
