Clutch Artists Seneca Allegany Car Show
by Andy Sackett
Salamanca, NY
I
f you enjoy cruising to a show, through rolling hills with
great scenery, you’ll enjoy going to the Clutch Artists’
Car Club annual car show at the Seneca Allegany Resort
& Casino, Salamanca, NY. You don’t have to be a gambler to
enjoy this show, but if you enjoy wagering a little it’s the
place to be.
Many of the participants took advantage of the special
room rates for the show and we met a lot of our friends there
for the weekend. This October show saw cars come from all
over Western New York, Northern Pennsylvania, and I even
saw a few from Canada. There were 300 plus cars and
motorcycles at the event. One unique vehicle was an MG
that participated in the 8th Annual Clutch Artists’
“Autorama” over 40 years ago. There was a live band that
kept the place rocking. Many took advantage of the great
food at the Casino. For those staying at the hotel, they
provided golf kart shuttle service from the lobby to the
parking lot where the show was being held. The Casino
management was so impressed with the way the Clutch
Artists ran the show, and the turnout; they have said they
will do it again this year. I don’t have the dates yet, but if
you check showandcruisenews.com periodically we will post
the date as soon as we get it
Book your rooms early for a great time.

W
ell it was bound to happen.
Time and technology
marches on.
No more
paper. We are coming to you out of
cyber space, riding the airwaves
directly to your home computer. As
with so much in this information age,
there’s no need to go to the mailbox or
local auto parts store to check out
your favorite auto-happenings
magazine.
And although we’ve
changed how we get to you, we hope
to remain your source for area car
show and cruise news.
One thing that won’t change is the
nature of my scribblings.
I have
always tried to share my thoughts,
experiences and opinions in a genuine
way and I intend to continue doing so.
With that being said, I have to ask,
what kind of hair-raising adventures
have you had with your car? I know
people who’ve driven for decades
without ever getting a ticket. I’ve had
over a dozen. I know people who
have never driven more than a
hundred miles or so from home. I’ve
driven tens of thousands of miles
across this country and Europe.
And on this month’s topic, I know
people who’ve never had an accident.
When I hear about folks who’ve been
hurt or worse in a car I think, there
but for the grace of God go I. So,
have you ever rolled a car? I did once
but fortunately, it was a dirt track
racer with a full roll cage and although
I was unhurt physically, my ego took a
major hit. You have no idea how
disorienting it is to look out the
windshield and see the world turning
upside down. A helmet and a seatbelt
kept me from being injured but didn’t
stop me from making a deposit in my
shorts as I rolled twice before landing
back on my wheels. One of my other
racing adventures involved being
black-flagged off the track. As I went
by the flag man and he signaled me to
get off the track. I ignored him. What
the heck? I hadn’t done anything
wrong. When I came around again
my pit boss ran out on the track and
screamed “John, you’re on fire!” Oh,
I rolled into the infield and jumped out
of the car as the fire team rushed to
put the flames out. Needless to say
my stock car racing days were over.
Have you ever driven directly into
another car at 30mph? I once had a
‘63 Biscayne three on the tree that
had a crappy defroster. One dark,
snowy, cold night the windshield
fogged up and I couldn’t see so…I
pushed in the clutch and drifted to the
side of the road, smack into the rear
end of a brand new ‘69 Caddy. I
learned a principal of physics that two
objects cannot occupy the same place
at the same time. Had I been wearing
a seat belt I wouldn’t have dented the
steel dash with my knee and my
throat wouldn’t have been choked by
the steering wheel. Live and learn
right?
Have you ever left the road
spinning out of control on a grassy
slope toward a creek? I’m sure it
ranks right up there with one of those
Disney rides. I’ve had experience
with both. Lucky for me I kept my
foot on the gas and with loads of turf
flying, climbed back onto the road.
When we disassembled my truck for
painting not long afterward there
were a few hours spent cleaning
chunks of mud from the suspension
and frame rails.
I’m sure everyone has heard the
old cliché about being stalled on the
railroad tracks. I was driving my
mom’s ‘63 Galaxie XL convertible that
so happened the gas gauge didn’t
work, so we just kinda guessed. You
put in 5 gallons of gas (about a bucks
worth back then) and watch the
odometer. There’s a stretch of road
near where I live that has seven sets
of railroad tracks in a row.
My
brother-in-law once ripped the
engine/ transaxle out of a ‘61 Corvair
going over that grouping at a high
rate of speed.
So a couple friends and I are
gingerly making our way across the
tracks when the car dies. Really?
After a couple of minutes of fooling
around under the hood it was
obvious, no gas. Lucky again that no
train was coming but with seven
crossings you knew it wasn’t gonna be
long. There was just broken blacktop
between each track so even with
three healthy teenagers it was no
small task to push that big old Ford
over the tracks and out of the way.
Sure enough, within ten minutes not
one but two trains sped by.
Have you ever gone airborne? I
did it twice and both times I didn’t
expect what was coming. The first
time was with a ‘55 Plymouth on a
rural road. We had a few old timey
wooden bridges limited to 5 tons and
approaches were steeply angled. Do
one of these at the right speed and
you could be like Joey Chitwood. I hit
the “ramp” at about 50mph. Me and
the car went airborne but the car
being heavier than me came down
first. I came out of my seat and
banged my head on the roof. The fat
old Mopar made the solid landing and
once I got my butt back in the seat we
cruised on as if it was just another ride
in the country.
A few years later I got the bug to
give it a try on a different venue.
There’s a steel deck bridge that
crosses a large creek in my town that
has a steep approach on one side. So
if you come across from the flat side
at the right speed you could easily
catch some air. I had a ‘62 Galaxie 2door post sedan with a 352 cid V-8. It
wasn’t big muscle but it would move
along just fine.
Still living and
learning I discovered that launching
up a ramp is different than driving off
a cliff so to speak. The car went
airborne alright but the front end nose
dived into the pavement.
Whoa
baby! That front end hit the road with
a bang louder than when I smashed
that Cadillac. The car rolled along OK
after I landed so I drove to the
shoulder and got out to look. After
the leap something had to be
smashed. Incredibly the front end,
bumper and all were unscratched.
Wasn’t the radiator damaged? There,
underneath bolted to the
undercarriage was a large plate that
protected the whole area. What? Did
Ford know that someone would
probably go airborne, now and then?
I’ve probably done some other
adventurous things but enough for
now. It won’t be long and old man
winter will be retreating. Time to dust
off your favorite rides and get to
having some adventures of your own.
Hopefully, not so violent!
Until next time, I’ll be out in the
garage.

22ND NORTHEAST NSRA NATIONALS
by Duke Emerson
Burlington, VT.
T
he Northeast “NSRA Nationals” is
generally held around the third
weekend in September in Burlington,
VT. It’s a real great time to visit Vermont.
Thursday night the Visitor’s Bureau hosts a
free dinner. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday
there is a great area where the car show is
held, a big flea market area and plenty of
maple syrup and maple syrup products.
There are also a lot of historic sights in and
around Burlington. You can even take a
Ferry Boat across Lake Champlain and drive
through the Adirondacks.
A lot of Canadian cars are at the show,
which normally you wouldn’t see. All in all
this makes a great season ending trip.

WHAT DRIVES
Y U?
By Tara Hurlin - Writer/Editor for Hagerty Insurance
TWO-WHEELED FREEDOM
Motorcycles hold a special place in Cristine
Sommer-Simmons’ heart, and understandably so,
since her entire life evolves around them. She was
first introduced to the hobby when she was around 9
years old, when her stepfather couldn’t get out of the
driveway with his Honda 750 without a little girl
begging for a ride.
And then, it happened: Cris got her first
motorcycle at age 15 – a Yamaha Twin Jet 100. “My
Step-dad taught me how to ride in the parking lot of
the Wonder Bread Store across the street from our
house, and I loved every second of it,” she said.
Then, about 4 years later she claimed her first Harley
motorcycle.
Today she is the proud owner of multiple bikes: a
1988 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail, a custom
2013 Harley-Davidson Softail Slim, a 1934 HarleyDavidson VLD, a 1915 Harley-Davidson Twin and a
1911 Wagner. “I'm mostly into the vintage bikes
these days,” she said, “They are lots of fun to ride
once you get the hang of the tank-shift and foot
clutch.”
Although she loves all of her motorcycles, there is
one in particular that is irreplaceable, “I was riding
my 1988 Heritage Softail when I met my husband in
Sturgis in 1989, so that one is extra special,” she
said. “I’m very lucky to have all of my dream bikes,
but what’s one more? Perhaps a Crocker or a
beautiful Vincent would be nice.”
If you are ever asked who has made a large
impact in the motorcycle world, Cristine’s name
surely should be high on the list: In the 1980s, she
became a member of the Women’s Motorcycle
Association, which lead to co-founding the
Association’s second chapter, Women in the Wind. In
1985, she co-founded Harley Women, the world’s
first motorcycle publication to inspire other
enthusiasts just like herself. From there she hit the
road with her motorcycle and rode thousands of
miles in search of stories and adventure, which is
also where she met her husband, Doobie Brother
Patrick Simmons. She began appearing in national
newspaper articles and radio and television talk
shows, acting as an advocate for the increasing
number of women who love to ride. By 1990, the
American Motorcyclist Association honored her in
their Women in Motorcycling exhibit located in
Westerville, Ohio.
After
14
15
years
Show and Cruise News
of
involvement
with
her
publication, Harley Women, she sold her stocks and
continued her two-wheeled journeys, using her
experiences and passion to produce captivating
articles for several magazines in the United States,
including American Iron, Motorcycle Collector, Iron
Works, Easyriders and V-Twin, as well as magazines
in Japan, Spain and Australia.
“Writing my column for Hot Bike Japan was one of
the best jobs ever,” she joked, “I got paid well, no one
I knew read it, and I could write whatever I wanted to
without getting upset over editing because I couldn’t
read Japanese.” She traveled to Japan and made
many friends and experienced some great rides.
Marrying her best friend and raising three
children tops her personal list of accomplishments.
“They inspire me each and every day,” she said. But
in the motorcycle world, being inducted into all three
Motorcycle Hall of Fames -- the AMA Hall of Fame, the
Sturgis Hall of Fame and the National Motorcycle Hall
of Fame -- has been, in her words, an exciting and
humbling achievement. Writing three books about
motorcycles, one being an award-winning children’s
book called "Patrick Wants to Ride,” and the other
two being “The American Motorcycle Girls 19001950” and "The Cannonball Diary", were three more
dreams that came true.
Being the only woman to ride on and finish two
cross-country Motorcycle Cannonballs is something
to admire. “When I'm on the Cannonball, it's an
endurance race,” Cris explained, “It's about keeping
your bike running, but taking care of your body too.
It's as much endurance on the rider as it is on the
machine. Riding old motorcycles from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m., with maybe an hour to eat lunch if you don't
break down, is very tiring, even if you have good
weather.”
“Being on two wheels on the opened road always
reminds me of flying without having wings,” Cris
said, “It’s an indescribable sense of freedom...
there's nothing that even comes close to it for me.”
Cris undoubtedly has countless memories;
“Crossing the finish line on Effie, my 1915 HarleyDavidson, was a moment I will never forget,” she
said, “I really stepped out of my comfort zone on that
one!”
“I think pushing yourself to live your dreams is
what life is all about. I have this little piece of paper
taped up on my desk that is a quote from Abraham
Lincoln: ‘It's not the years in your life, but the life in
your years that matters,’ and this has become my
mantra.”
Having a lifetime love affair with the two-wheeled
varieties led Cris to meeting many wonderful people
whom she may have never met, and for that, she is
grateful. She continues to keep busy with writing
projects and is looking forward to the 2016
Cannonball coming up in September. To top it all off,
she will become a grandmother late this summer and
will most likely be the first grandma to ride the
Cannonball.

Cr Happenings

cruisers enjoying the salt free streets and 50 to 60
degree weather in January and February that is
totally unheard of in WNY.
Iconic Piece of Americana
Mother Road turns 90. That’s right, the famous
Route 66, immortalized in movies, music, and held
dear by all car buffs, will have a new preservation
organization begin their work.
Other highways came before it.
Others
stretched farther.
Others probably conducted
more traffic throughout the country.
But no
highway gets more recognition or praise than
Route 66. America’s first numbered
highway will turn 90 next year and the
founding of a new organization
dedicated to Route 66’s preservation.
As far back as 1916 Congress
began passing laws that would
establish a nationwide network of
public roads, and one of its proposals
called for a Route 60 that would
connect Virginia Beach, Virginia to Los
Angeles, California, passing through
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, and
Nevada. Tulsa based businessman
Cyrus Avery recognized the economic potential of
such a road argued that it should avoid the Rockies
and instead take a more southerly route from St.
Louis to Los Angeles, passing through Tulsa of
course, then swinging north through Chicago
following the traditional commerce routes.
While he was at it he also proposed that the
route be renumbered from 60 to 66, arguing that
the latter would become more memorable and
more likely to roll off the tongue. Route 60 did
eventually connect Virginia Beach to points west,
few if any people celebrate that road these days.
As you pick up this final printed issue of Show
and Cruise News, it is March, and probably only 6
weeks away from taking your summer ride out of
storage, bringing it to its summer home and
getting it prettied up for the summer ahead.
Pick up a copy of the “Clutch Artists’ Calendar”
or check out the Show and Cruise News website
starting in May for all the latest
information on cruise locations. Some
cruises have discontinued from last
year and there are a few new ones.
Many of you have your favorite haunts
that you cruise to every week, but for
me I like to try new locations,
especially if it’s a nice drive from my
house and I can enjoy the ride. But
mostly I like to see cars I haven’t seen
before and of course meet new people.
So this year why not plan on going to a
few new locations you haven’t cruised
to before.
This is It
As we wrote in the February issue of Show and
Cruise News Magazine, the March (you’re holding
it) issue will be the last printed issue. From now on
we will have the Magazine on line for your reading
pleasure, and it is FREE.
Cruisin Starts Soon
We will be able to keep the car enthusiast up to
date more timely as things change. If a cruise
night stops cruising, or a new one starts up, we
don’t have to wait until the next month to report it,
we can change it on our website immediately. The
same thing with car shows. As you know, dates
sometime change or shows are cancelled, and as
soon as we find out about it we can make the
change.
Here it is March, but as our January and
February have been one of the warmest in years,
cruising for some has already started. Many car
buffs witnessed the unusual site of classic cars,
street rods and motorcycles traveling the streets of
Western New York. In fact, I spoke to a lot of fellow
enthusiasts who said that if their ride wasn’t buried
in a large storage unit and they could have gotten it
out, they also would have joined the parade of
It’s been a pleasure for the past 28 plus years
serving the car hobbyist with the printed copy of
Show and Cruise News, but it is time to move on
and keep you informed electronically. I know
many people resist change, especially me, hell, I
still have a Blackberry cell phone, but I recognize
the fact that the Magazine needs to move on. I
hope you will check it out online and enjoy it as
much as you have in the past. Thank You!

raditionally Pautler’s Drive-In kicks off
cruising season in Western New York by being
the first cruise of the season, and generally the
last to end the season. Pautler’s is one of the favorite
cruise locations and has grown over the years.
Cruisin’ on a Tuesday night typically has an
average of over 200 cars. This is what draws a large
number of spectators to stop and enjoy the cars and fine
food. Not all cruisers come and stay for the entire
cruise, some come to eat, look at a few cars then leave.
There is always a good mix of cars to suite your taste.
Here is a sample of the cars that cruise to Pautler’s
Drive-In on Transit Road, just south of Lockport.

LAKESHORE STREET ROD CAR SHOW
Dunkirk, NY
O
ne of the nicest settings for a car show is
Point Gratiot Park in Dunkirk, NY. A large
piece of the park is set aside for this car show
every year and there is plenty of parking for show
cars and spectator parking. The park has a great
view of the lake and no matter how hot it gets, there
is parking on grass with a breeze off the lake.
The show was held on July 9th last year and
nearly 650 cars were on hand. The weather was
great for the show and even though there had been
some rain during the week, the grounds were nice
and dry.
There is music during the show and plenty of food
vendors including a chicken Bar-B-Q.
The
Lakeshore Street Rods raised $6,000 for local
charities including the American Arthritis
Foundation, Hayley’s Honey’s Fund, Chautauqua
County Veterans Endowment and the Dunkirk Police
K-9 Unit.
The show date this year is July 10th. If you like
to cruise, it’s a nice ride to a great show.
