Hello to everyone and special congratulations to Mark Stephenson for
his participation in the Route 66 Fun Run and the California Oil Leak
tour. Look at the pictures on the following pages of the newsletter,
great cars and beautiful scenery. Mark drove his car over 2000 miles,
start to finish in both events. He knows how to have fun and what
these cars are for. He doesn't let his sit in the garage and look beautiful. They are meant to be
driven. If you want beautiful, look at the scenery they drove through in Az. and Ca. Phillippe
and Francois Reyns drove their BMW V8 on the Ca. Oil Leak Tour. Neil Cooper and Richard
Hauger were on the "Fun Run"
Now we go into the Summer when JCNA events in other parts of the country pick up, here in
the Desert Southwest events slow down. At our June Meeting I will have an open meeting on
what we can do to enliven things during the hot summer months. Larry and Marji have agreed
to have a second "Catathalon" Pool Party at their home in September, which is great news. If
you didn't come to the first one you missed a terrific event. Don't miss the sequel Marji says it
will be even better. Now we need to plan for June, July and August. I have another event
coming up in September that I Know you will all enjoy, more on that at our meeting.
Hope to see everyone on Wednesday,
Keep those Cats moving,
Phil Parker, President

registrations. Probably double that from the cheapskates
who tagged along without paying.

How about four carbs? On two V-8s? With 4 blowers???
We're still trying to figure out how the driver saw where he was going.

Indianapolis, IN -- Coming into last weekend's
Indianapolis 500 Izod IndyCar race, four-time
race winner A.J. Foyt was at the top of the heap
again, with his driver, Japan's Takuma Sato and
Foyt's team leading the series standings after a
lengthy drought. Foyt's team hadn't won since
2002 nor been tops in points since 1998. But
while three-time winners Helio Castroneves and
Dario Franchitti were attempting to tie Foyt's (and
Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears') record with a win,
Foyt had earlier chimed in that today's drivers
can't hold a candle to Foyt and his earlier
contemporaries.
In comments published in Saturday's Arizona
Republic, Foyt was quoted by writer Michael
Knight, noting "I don't want to be smart-
assed...but you've got these drivers today who are
a flash in the pan." Foyt explained that "(fans)
followed me, Parnelli (Jones), Al and Bobby
Unser, Mario (Andretti) for many, many years.
We run midgets and sprint cars about every week,
all over the country ... that's what built our fan
base." Foyt went on to add, "Some of these boys
today probably say: 'We could have beat him or
Parnelli any day of the week.' Well, I've got news
for them: They probably couldn't even carry our
helmet bags."
That's presuming drivers back then could even
afford a helmet bag. While many current top
drivers race less than did the multi-discipline
drivers of Foyt's era, it's mainly due to contract
limitations restricting their appearance in other
series in exchange for multi-million dollar
guarantees. Knight's article noted that "Foyt said
his generation was hungrier. Literally."
"We had to run," said Foyt. "If we didn't, we had
no money. We couldn't eat or feed our children.
After Indy i would go run a sprint-car race. People
thought I was nuts. That's the difference in racing
today." Never a wallflower, Foyt exuded the
confidence required to be a champion when he
stated, "I'm just glad to be named amongst the
great race drivers....I did win a lot of very
important races (including the Daytona 500 and
Le Mans). To win, you've got to want to win, and
I wanted to win very bad. Once you've won,
second's no good."
Following Tony Kanaan's win in the 500, there
would be no new member of the four-timer club,
as Franchitti's crash forced a final-laps caution,
and Castroneves ended 6th. As for A.J. Foyt
Racing, his drivers Sato and Conor Daly finished
13th and 22nd, respectively. Sato is now 2nd in
the point standings behind Marco Andretti.

Charlotte, NC -- NASCAR honored members of
its family dynasties with inductions into its Hall
of Fame last Wednesday. Former champion Dale
Jarrett will join his father Ned in the Hall, while
master mechanic Maurice "Chief" Petty becomes
the fourth member of the Petty clan to be so
honored. Maurice joins his older brother, driver
Richard Petty, along with their father Lee Petty
and cousin Dale Inman, Richard's longtime crew
chief.
Fireball Roberts, Tim Flock and Jack Ingram will
also join Jarrett and Petty in the Hall's class of
2014, with induction day slated for Wednesday,
Jan. 29, 2014 to be broadcast on Fox Sports 1
from a ceremony here. The quintet was selected
from a list of 25 nominees by a 54-member voting
panel comprised of NASCAR reps, retired
competitors, media, track owners, manufacturer
reps and a nationwide fan vote.
Jarrett, the 1999 Sprint Cup series champion, won
three Daytona 500's, two Brickyard 400's and is
21st on the all-time wins list with 32. He and his
father Ned are the third father-son duo selected to
the Hall, following Bill France Sr. and Junior, and
Lee and Richard Petty.
Maurice Petty was the chief engine builder at
Petty Enterprises, propelling Richard Petty to
most of his record 200 NASCAR wins and seven
titles. He also drove in 26 premier series races
from 1960-64, with seven top-5 finishes.
Glenn "Fireball Roberts" was arguably stock car
racing's first superstar, a flashy showman who
won 33 races including the Southern 500 in 1958
and '63, and the Daytona 500 in 1962. Overall he
won seven races at Daytona beginning with the
the Firecracker 250 in 1959 -- the year the
speedway opened. He died in 1964 following a
fiery crash at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Tim Flock was a two-time NASCAR premier
series champion, with 39 wins in 187 starts, good
for 18th on the all-time wins list. His first title
was in 1952 in Ted Chester's Hudson Hornet, and
his second championship, driving Karl
Kiekhaefer's Chrysler, stemmed from 18 wins in
39 races, a mark which stood as the single-season
wins record until broken by Richard Petty with 27
wins in 1967.
Jack Ingram drove to success on what became
NASCAR's Nationwide series. He won three titles
in a row from 1972-74 in what was billed the Late
Model Sportsman division, then took the
inaugural Busch series title in 1982 and again in
'85. His 31 wins in 10 season was a record until
Mark Martin broke it in 1997. For more

Martha Mingua is trying to find a home for their 1957
Jaguar Mark VIII. Approximately 3000 were ever shipped
of to the US of this model, it was only made for 2 years
and is identifiable by the single curved windscreen and the
chrome trim on the side of the body.
The engine runs sweet, has 2 new gas tanks, and a new
master cylinder. Needs transmission seals and rear brakes,
paint and some upholstery work. It has beautiful burlwood
trim on the dash, doors and the fold down tray tables in the
back of the car. We have the original tool kit, fender skirts,
hub caps and beauty rings, and all the little knobs and
latches that are frequently missing in a car this old.
Asking: $8,000 to $10,000 but open to discuss any fair
offer. It really needs a home where someone will
appreciate it and take care of it. If interested, please call:
480 861-6005, or
