NEWSLETTER 1 - October 18, 2007

This is the first newsletter for the Dry Lakes / Landspeed Historians group. There are seven of us who are original members. Jim Miller is the temporary chairman.  The purpose of this historical group is to preserve the history and heritage of landspeed and dry lakes racing, to promote the hot rodding culture and to work towards a permanent repository where artifacts can be safely kept and restored for future generations. Another goal is to encourage historians, photographers and others to publish their books and photographs. All groups change over time, but here is how Jim Miller and I envisioned such a group of historians.

RESPONSIBILITIES: We are not asking for dues, duties or commitments other than what a member wishes to do. We don't envision needing to raise money since we are basically an email group. The positions in the group would consist of a President and Newsletter editor and Jim has consented to be the interim leader and I have offered to be the temporary editor and secretary. All positions are elected by a general email vote once a year. No positions are paid.

MEETINGS: A monthly meeting would be held at a motorsports museum around Southern California. Business would be conducted, the name, by-laws and officers elected. It would be a loose confederation similar to the Fabulous Fifties Un-group. Then a tour of the museum would be next. By holding a meeting in a museum we would gain contacts and let people know of our interest in preserving the hot rodding and landspeed history.

MUSEUM: A major goal of our group would be to encourage a museum or museums to take up the task of keeping and preserving our hot rodding and landspeed history.

PROMOTION: Another goal would be to promote each other's works, whether they are textual, photographic, art or the building or restoring of vintage racing vehicles. The newsletter is for the purpose of letting the members present news of interest and to list upcoming events. Whatever is received by the members will be included in the upcoming newsletters.

DIRECTORY: An email directory will be compiled of the names of the members, to be given out to members only, but no email address, phone number or street address will be divulged in it without the person's consent.

Thank you for your interest.
