PRESIDENT’S PAGE
What an exciting September
for our club! We held a very successful Zone 7 Concours, had a
packed Saturday Breakfast and a
full complement on the Fall Wine
Tour. Our Concours brought
out almost three dozen cars to
Rancho San Rafael Park, with
some coming from over the hill.
The associated Meet & Greet and
Dinner also had a fine turnout
and wonderful food at the Atlantis
Resort. My thanks to all members
who volunteered to make this
event so successful. Special thanks
go to Steve Kent, Dick Bottom, Bill
King, Ragnar Kuehnert and Bob
McLaughlin for their tremendous
effort!
And as of this writing,
September isn’t over. Rennsport
Reunion V is on the immediate
horizon and it looks like we’ll
be well represented there with
both attendees and participants
in racing and displays. A great
month!
October usually winds down
our driving season but we do
Craig Kugler
President
have a couple of events of interest for those who want to get in
some fall driving. First we have an
Oktoberfest Drive & Dine which
will have a wonderful drive and
a South Lake Tahoe dinner at the
Himmel Haus. For those wanting a little more adrenaline, Doug
Driver is hosting a PCA Autocross
Day. This event is in conjunction
with SCCA and it should a great
opportunity to drive your car as
fast as you can, legally, on a cone
course. You’ll be amazed at how
much fun this can be. See the calendar section for details on all our
upcoming events.
In this edition you will find
the Officers Ballot with the slate
of candidates for the 2016 Club
Officers. I encourage you to
complete your ballot and send
it in by the deadline. The ballot
is also available on line at www.
snr-pca.org.
Finally, I’d like to remind
members that our club receives
much of its support from businesses and individuals who advertise
in our newsletter. I encourage you
to use our advertisers whenever
you can and be sure to let them
know you saw their ad in our
newsletter. It makes a big difference to them and ultimately to
our club.
Check out all our upcoming
events on our calendar page or at
our website: www.snr-pca.org. I
hope to see you at our next event.
Until then, be safe!

Car owners then started final car preparation

1930 Ford Model A, a rare towncar that was owned
by Ned’s great grandfather, and an all original 1937

a rowboat, a yacht tender and a 1950 restored Ford

By now hungry, we proceeded a mile south on
Highway 395 to the J.T. Bar & Dining Room, where
we enjoyed an excellent lunch served family style.
We are very grateful to Ned Bacon to have been
given this rare opportunity to view his private collection and have him as a docent — a person who
