------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ President's Corner: By Jim Miller (1-818-846-5139) |
Some of his duties are to handle all correspondance, keep the S.C.T.A. minutes and business in order, take care of all entry blanks and business connected with the actual races, keep membership list up to date and issue all membership cards, and to generally promote the best interest of the association. However we understand that Art may be leaving us soon to transfer activities into military training. His ability in making our orginization run smoothly would be hard to replace and we should all regret very much to see him leave. In behalf of the members of the S.C.T.A. we take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to our Super Secretary Art Tilton for the fine job he has been doing. Southern California Timing Association Inc." |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Editorial: Often, when I am talking, writing or phoning someone, they tell me that they don't have anything important to say and that they don't know any stories or facts. Of course I know this is not true. Everyone has something to say, and tales and stories to relate, but people really believe that they don't have much to add to our history. The key to unlocking their memories is patience, more patience and finally double the dose of patience. Continue to talk to people, bring up new subjects, talk about what you are doing, and what they are doing. Eventually you will mention a key word, which we call a CODE WORD, something that jogs a memory and loosens the grips of time. Then the person you are interviewing will literally explode with stories and information that may prove quite important and interesting. All of us store and index things in our minds in such a way that we can recall it when we need it and we use code words that trigger those memories. It could be a name, like Parnelli Jones, or Hammerin' Hank. It could be a noun like car racing, war or farm. It could be a verb like run, jump, drive, or fly. It could be a date like December 7, 1941. So move your topics around as you carry on a conversation. Sometimes people simply don't like to write or speak in public and are embarassed by their diction, grammar or syntax. Sometimes people simply don't want to speak about the past because they live in the present. At other times, they may feel that what they have to say is negative and they don't want people to think of them as complainers. History isn't always positive. Sometimes history can be ugly, low-down, nasty and mean. You never quite know just what kind of a story you are going to get when you ask questions. But you HAVE to ask questions, for if you don't, you will never find out any answers. If you feel self-conscious then write your history or record it in a positive way and where the story is not so nice, write in a sympathetic or understanding way and don't hold back the truth. When the story is messy, leave out the opinions and simply go with the facts. "Jesse James robbed banks and killed some people in the shootouts," is correct. You don't have to add, "...the dirty son-of-a-gun," even if your interviewee said exactly that. Lately I have been going to more and more websites. I'm not really a website reader, because I've been told horrible things are waiting there to highjack one's computer. As more and more of you send me websites, I try and review them to let you know if the site is worth bothering with. Some of the blogs, where people respond can be interesting. After all, I encourage all of you to write in and tell what you saw and remember. But some of the blogs and websites are just horrible. Here's one comment that I read; "Boo hoo, my wife won't let me go to the car show, what am I going to do?" Then another person answered and said, "Oh, Oh, Oh, my wife won't let me go either." You are NOT going to get that in the Society of Land Speed Racing Historians Newsletter. We do FACTS. Not that I won't let you add your opinions, such as, "I knew Veda Orr in the 1940's and she was a real lady and a true racer." Mixed in with the facts is your opinion and I'm going to allow it. But what Jim Miller and I want to achieve is fact, fact, fact, photo, fact, photo, fact and more facts. We want to unveil and find out the history of land speed racing and hot rodding and that's it. Here's another thing you may have noticed. We do talk about how the guys fought and argued back in the 1940's, but we don't encourage it today. Why is that, you say? The reason is that the guys are mostly gone from that era and there are few left so that the old feuds aren't likely to reignite. But, do we want to bring up modern disagreements between club #1 and club #2 today? No, but ask us in 40 years and we'll write about their fights and arguments then. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I lost a great friend and racing partner earlier this week to cancer. I know that many of you know Gerry Musil from El Mirage and Bonneville. I encourage you to send your condolences to his wife Cam and to attend the services and the wake after the services to give Gerry a racer’s send off. I know that this is short notice but rarely are they not. Please let those from the landspeed family who are not computer literate know of Gerry’s passing and the services by other means if you can and if you can also distribute this to your racing e-mail lists. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pat O'Brian introduced me to the Road Runners and I joined in 1951. Raced the May meet using a '32 Roadster loaned to me by Bob McLure who was running a D class belly tank at the time. My '32 was hit by another roadster at Saugus while leaving during a snowstorm. The 296 incher went into Bob's car and ran 5 mph faster than he had ever run. 133 mph. Had to put a concealed roll bar in it which was the first time mandated. Made 4 runs. 125. 128. 133 and finally 132 while spinning through the lights. The course was moved right after that. Bill Burke was the starter. I was so nervous on the last run I forgot to connect the seat belt and spun the car without it. Bill used to bring us the latest edition of Hot Rod Magazine long before it hit the newstands or subscribers at the Road Runner meetings. Sold him a split wishbone dagoed front axle. Loaned Ak Miller some alki for his runs. Rented a 1936 Dodge sedan from a fellow worker to tow the roadster to El Mirage. Drivers side window would not roll up. Damn near froze to death. Need more proof? I still have the program results from that meet. Dropped out of the club due to Korean conflict active duty recall by the Navy. Later. Vic Enyart |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim Miller mentioned that there were several clubs in the SCTA with websites. Here is one of them, the Rod Riders and their website is quite interesting. You can see and learn more about this club at http://www.rodridersracing.com/. Here is a list of the Rod Rider's Member List as of March 12, 2008, right from their website; Joe Anderson, Dennis Baker, Garry Banta, Robert Barmore, Tony Baron, David Basham, Jerry Bates, Mark Bates, Theresa Bates, Ken Bell, Jim Billingsley, Pat Blevins, Bob Brady, Jere Brown, Erick Burfield, Frank Bussell, Rick Carpenter, Bill Charette, Pete Christeson, Mike Cook, Gary Cope, Jerime Cope, Joann Cope, John (JD) Davis, Karen Davis, Vince Davis, Gil Delapena, Bill Deming, Jamie Duncanson, John E. Duncanson, Randy Ferguson, Don Ferguson III, Don Ferguson Jr, Chris Field, Tamera Field, Herb Fischer, Alan Fogliadini, Rich Fox, Bruce Geisler, Joe Gialich, Bill Goldman, David Graczyk, Rick Grant, John Hagan, Ken Hagan, John Hagan Sr, Erik Hansson, Brent Heathcoat, Chuck Hebestreit, Ron Hope, Steve Hope, John Hunt, Chick Huntimer, Tony Huntimer, Bud Jones, Chuck Kalbach, Dan W Kalbach, Don Kearney, Ken Kelley, Harry Kelso, David Kirsch, Doug Kruse, Dave Lukkari, Jim Lyon, Hugh MacDonald, Doug Macmillan, Miriam Macmillan, Russell McNeill, Tom Medlock, Ted Mehlbraudt, Bob Nakonieczny, Frank Oddo, Monte Osborn, Paul Paul, Don Pentington, Tony Perera, Nathan Phillips, Wayn Phillips, Ken Pike, Tony Piner, Van Prothero, Curtis Richards, Kenneth Rickard, Wil Sakowski, Thomas Sauter, Jack Scaduto, Cheryl Schumacher, Don Shores, Bob Solesbee, Muffler Tom Steinbrecher, Ed Stuck, Al Teague, Tim Tenold, Rick Thayer, Dennis Thornton, Jim Travis, Randall Travis, Keven Vaughan, Thomas Vaughan, David Willis. As you can see, some of the most renowned land speed racers belong to the Rod Riders, but I could not find any history of the club, except for a list of their officers and award winners. Perhaps they will elect a Historian for their club and do some research on the origins of the club. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another club in the SCTA that has a website newsletter is the Sidewinders and they claim to have been in existence since 1935 and an original member of the SCTA. See http://mmeierle.com/sidewinders/Meeting%20Minutes/Sidewinders%20Newsletter%202008%20June.htm |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Gear Grinders in the SCTA have a website at http://mmeierle.com/geargrinders/. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Gold Coast Roadster and Racing Club has a section on the website of Evelyn Roth's www.oilstick.com. Oilstick also is the official site for the Mendenhall Gas Pump Museum, Gas-Up Party and Dry Lakes Hall of Fame. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My name is Justin Long with Orange Coast magazine. We are doing a piece on Chuck Daigh in our "Drive" department for our September issue. It speaks of his legacy in racing and as a true pioneering craftsman of his time. I am trying to track down some images for the story and noticed on www.Hotrodonline.com there were some fabulous images of Chuck. I was wondering if we could obtain those images or any contacts you could supply? Anything you could do to assist me would be a great help. Please feel free to contact me. Thanks so much. Justin Patrick Long, Associate Art Director, 3701 Birch Street, Suite 100, Newport Beach CA 92660, telephone 949-862-1133 extension 107, fax 949-862-0133, website www.orangecoastmagazine.com, email [email protected]. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dick Dean has passed away and he will be greatly missed. He was truly a legend in our industry and his talent was amazing. He crafted wonderful cars beginning back in the days when only the most basic of tools were available and his famous “chops” became legendary. Dean’s influence on so many areas of our hobby was huge, from those awesome Mercs to the cars he did for the movies and television. He was more than a genius at building cars, he was our friend. We last saw him with his boys at the Grand National Roadster Show and he was just so happy to be there with his kids, amongst all of those great cars. He was truly in hog heaven and could hardly get the grin off of his face. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jeanne and the whole family. We will let you all know of any plans. We have done many stories about him over the years. The Dick Dean's Story, Dick's Mercs and then in 2005 we went to Dick's Retirement party. Check out all of them at www.hotrodhotline.com. Farewell friend...RIP. Jack and Mary Ann Lawford |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Latest info status on the lakebed. There is still a bit of standing water on the lakebed near the windsock. Otherwise, lakebed is dry and hard. Currently, the air temp is hot, humidity low and the wind is blowing, continuing to dry out the lakebed. Tomorrow morning (Friday) SCTA Officials will survey the course and make a final determination if the meet will held this weekend. Right now, the meet is still on. Be sure to check the SCTA website at http://www.scta-bni.org/. A status update will be posted then. I will also post info on the "News" page of the Road Runners website as soon as available. The only official information regarding the status of the meet will come from the SCTA. Any other information is speculation and rumor. Jerry Cornelison |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check Your Tires This is important! See http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4826897. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I just got back from a PUTT down the south side near the dunny bushes. There is still STANDING water from the west windsock (Sailors Bay) clear past the east windsock (Liberty point). The water is over a mile long by 3/8 to 1/2 mile wide. From seeing this much standing water & only a few days remaining to dry out, I have my doubts! George Callaway |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The meet is definitely CANCELLED with no plans for another one before Bonneville. Jim Knapp |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is the official word from SCTA: 07/18/08 8am: Due to the mud and standing water on the lakebed from recent thunderstorms, the July 2008 SCTA El Mirage Time Trials have been cancelled. There will be no Racing News published for July. SCTA-BNI website: http://www.scta-bni.org/. Next race date at El Mirage is September 14th. In case you don't have it, here is the BLM information number for El Mirage. The recording gives El Mirage info and lakebed conditions: 1-760- 388-4411. Jerry Cornelison |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Honorees have been chosen for the 17th annual California Hot Rod Reunion, presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California.

Steve Davis: An incredible craftsman who restored the legendary Greer, Black and Prudhomme fuel dragster, as well as Art Chrisman's famed #25 dragster. He honed his craft while working with the legendary Tom Hannah and Li'l John Buttera. He drove Junior Fueler dragsters, owned a CRA Championship winning sprint car and is the lucky driver that gets to be in the seat of the Greer, Black and Prudhomme car during Cacklefests. John Edmunds: Hails from Fresno, California and raced throughout the 1960's as "The Black Knight." During one period, he drove his 240 mph Bonneville Studebaker, Tony Waters' Top Fuel dragster and a Blown Fuel Hydro drag boat all at the same time. Georgia Seipel: Has been the drag strip manager at Infineon Raceway in northern California for many years. Her life revolves around drag racing, and the entire Seipel family has been heavily involved in Super Gas racing since the category began. Walt Rhoades: A journeyman southern California dragster driver of the'60's and '70's who drove such legendary entries as the Gas House Gang, John Peters' "Freight Train" (in which he won Top Gas at the '71 Gatornationals and set low e.t. on gas at '71 Indy), as well as the Buehl, Cirino and Rhoades AA/FD, one of the quickest of the mid-'70's. Butch Maas: Another journeyman driver whose career spanned 25 different race cars from the Scotty's Muffler roadster through the Don Garlits streamliner. He won the '71 Winternationals Funny Car final driving Roland Leong's "Hawaiian." Gas Ronda (Reunion Spotlight winner): One of the most famous door car drag racers of all time. But for a brief time early in his career in the Bay Area, he raced Fords exclusively. From 390 Galaxies, through AFX Thunderbolts, and on to blown Fuel Funny Cars, his performance along with his demeanor and dapper appearance made him extremely popular with the fans. Bill Groak |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PEBBLE BEACH, California. Lancia, the Italian auto manufacturer known for its elegant originality and innovative spirit, will be celebrated as a featured marque at the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on Sunday, August 17, 2008. Seventeen significant Lancia vehicles will be on display, ranging from a rarely seen 1953 Lancia Aurelia B20 Rally Car to one of the oldest Lancias on record, a 1908 12 hp Alpha. Lancia will be highlighted at the Concours along with Lamborghini and the centennial of General Motors. “The Lancia history is quite remarkable,” says Sandra Kasky Button, Chairman of the Pebble Beach Concours. “Lancia emerged as one of the most progressive, spirited car companies at the turn of the 20th century, producing their first car exactly 100 years ago. Their racing heritage includes wins in Formula One, rallying and sports cars.” In addition to producing the first narrow-angle V-4 and V-6 production engines, Lancia is recognized for numerous additional engineering advances that outdistanced other pre-war auto manufacturers. Founded in Turin, Italy by Vincenzo Lancia, the first Lancia, a 12 hp Alpha, debuted in 1908, and an example will be brought to the Concours by Milano, Italy car collector Corrado Lopresto, a 2005 Pebble Beach winner. “Big, majestic and not very sporty, the Alpha’s attraction is quality and reliability with advanced comfort,” says Lopresto, whose ’08 Alpha is one of just 108 that were built. The Lancia Lambda, which debuted in 1922 sporting a groundbreaking single-body frame and independent front suspension, will be represented at the Concours. Other notable Lancias coming to Pebble Beach include: the D24, one of Lancia’s most innovative vehicles and the subject of the poster for the 2008 Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance presented by Rolex; a 1953 Lancia Aurelia B20 coupe – one of six designed to for competition (it won the 1953 Li�ge-Rome-Li�ge Rally); and the original Lancia Stratos HF Prototype Bertone Coupe, which made its world debut at the 1971 Turin Auto Show. “It’s truly a remarkable achievement for Lancia to be a featured marque at this year’s Concours,” says Francesco Gandolfi, Pebble Beach Concours Chief Class Judge. “This is the first time since I became involved in collectible cars in 1971 that I’ve seen Lancia being honored at a major event…and I don’t know when, and if, I will see the same again.” Sent in by Kelsey Durkin |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following is a story from AARWBA's Impressions newsletter. |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following comes from AARWBA's Impressions Newsletter. Bruce Kaufman - who is known as "Mr. Mow It All", Is the Founder & President of the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association. He is a relatively new member of AARWBA and he sent along some information about his organization that we are presenting here for your enjoyment. As you might expect, his ‘clipping(s)’ ‘cut’ to the ‘cutting edge’ of his association’s purpose. A few excerpts from his correspondence follows. “The U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association (USLMRA) season is in full swing with plans for the 2008 STA-BIL Nationals Championships and a host of new programs which promise to continue the rapid growth that USLMRA lawn mower racing has enjoyed since its founding in 1992. "We have implemented new programs to keep us on the cutting edge of the nation's fastest growing motorsport. Lawn mower racing has continued to gain legitimacy among the public, the media and the motorsports community. Our future looks bright." “The USLMRA sanctions and presents organized lawn mower racing across America including the 18-race STA-BIL National Lawn Mower Racing Series and a network of 25 Local Chapters and Affiliated Clubs hosting more than 140 sanctioned races nationwide. Races feature riding lawn mowers with cutting blades removed at speeds up to 60 mph. Lawn mowers race in four road course classes with all cutting blades removed: Stock (8 mph), IMOW (20 mph), Prepared (50 mph) and Factory Experimental (60 mph). USLMRA lawn mower racing is featured on the Outdoor Channel and Speed TV.” For more information contact www.letsmow.com. Courtesy of American Auto Racing Writers & Broadcasters Association, Inc.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Remember ... the FIA fixing the world record listings? USAC’s Dave Petrali informs me it has finally been done after nearly 5 years. The errors and omissions have, for the most part, been corrected on the FIA website and now has its own identity bar under the sporting section – a first for the FIA. I’ve devoted my November FUEL FOR THOUGHT column in the Goodguys Gazette to the development and revealed a new wrinkle which ought to get me into more hot water with the French. C’est la Vie! Your dad helped me with my part years ago, I only wish he could have lived to see the FIA grow some backbone and do the right thing! More than 40 years late in some cases, but fixed finally!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ First thanks for passing along the GOLDENHAWK post notices, I think we actually have a following in your newsletter crowd that is waiting for the posts before checking. BUT most of all thank you for the article regarding the Tubing issue by Jon (Asher)? It brings back the reasons why I quit supporting NHRA. It was way tooo political and too many people making a career of the association without real sincere regard for the Hot Rodders. I will spare you the rant but suffice is to say I fought hard for Nitrous in the early days. Me and Ron Hamel. |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Southern California Timing Association (SCTA), has an excellent website at http://www.scta-bni.org/. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.landracing.com has a very good history on land speed racing. The charts and news are up to date. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.ecta-lsr.com/. About the ECTA. Before Bonneville became the preeminent land speed racing venue it is today, Daytona Beach was the Land Speed Mecca. Sir Malcolm Campbell ran there, and many of the high speed records of the twenties and thirties were set on that eastern beach. Forty years ago you could still run cars and bikes on the hard sand around Daytona and Ormand Beach. In fact, Hot Rod Magazine ran a project Plymouth there back in the early 60s. Bonneville had several advantages to the beach. There were no tides to contend with, and it had a longer running surface. With all the California hot rodders looking for a place to race after World War II, and after the loss of Muroc to the Army, Bonneville was a wonderful alternative and became, with increased competition, the new Land Speed Mecca. In the years hence, eastern racers couldn't easily participate in speed trials without a 2,300 mile trip to Utah, and had to settle for circle track and drag racing. Daytona had grown up and had too many tourists to allow for free use of the beach, and there aren't any dry lakes in the East to use as a substitute. |
