Some of you older members might remember

I`m not sure there are many left, but
My dear wife of 49 1/2 years lost her battle with cancer.
She ran a few events, and a couple of Lone Pine events in the VW

Re: Call for Stories/Info on the History of CSCC

I remember running at Dodger stadium, Orange Co fairgrounds, Terminal island, I don`t remember what it was called, but the lot across from Long beach airport.
Also, OCIR, but I don`t think they were SCCSCC events (bug-in maybe ?)

Re: Call for Stories/Info on the History of CSCC

I remember it well...... I was anouncing in Curly`s RV. Gail was driving the VW, and I saw the trail of oil mist coming from the rear end of the car. By looking at it, I knew the drain plug had come out of the sump. So, I had Gail RED FLAGGED ! She did what she was supposed to do, and came to a quic...

Dick Gulstrand (Mr. Corvette)

I was thinking of his recent passing and it reminded me of when he was a guest speaker at the old SCCSCC seasons end banquet and trophy dinners.
I was the MoC, and so my wife and I had the pleasure of sitting at his table for dinner.
Great stories. Being MoC had it`s perks.

Re: Insane finish

Then it would be called a race. Years ago, we had an event @ Dodger stadium. There were two courses, a right and a left. Two runs on each with a combined time, lowest wins. It started with a fairly long (1/8 ? mi.) straight away, so it was a drag race to start. It was ALOT of fun. My VW pissed off a...
