This is a great opportunity for members to put their ideas to work for the club and be board members. I encourage all members to par cipate and consider a nomina on for any of the posi ons. The elec on commi ee has sent our absentee ballots to members not able to a end the June mee ng. We have COCSD’s Main Street America show coming July 31st, the club has a ended in the past and I hope we con nue to support our area Corve e clubs. We had three members; Mark, Sam, and I plus one pseudo member, my son James Toomey, volunteer at the Russo & Steele Auc on as drivers. We had a great me with classics and exo c cars. I enjoyed the classic muscle cars like the ’69 Mustang drag car and a Torino Cobra. It was fun to drive cars across the auc on block and see all of the excitement and ac vity in the tent. I did not get a chance to drive any Corve es; other drivers got to enjoy the Corve e experience. The day started at 10:00 am and went to around 7:00 pm. They provided us with a lunch and dinner to keep us going. I will have more details next month. I will have North County Corve e membership cards available and autographed at the business mee ng. I would like to thank the current board members for the support and help during my term as President. Proud to be a member of North County Corve e Club!

Plas c Fantas c is over! It was a great success due to all of the par cipa on by our dedicated members. It was amazing to know we had almost 400 cars at the show and our parking patrol got everyone set up without too many problems. The raffle was also well received. Now it’s me to turn our thoughts to who we want to lead us as officers into the 2016-2017 year. I urge you to volunteer for an office some me. It’s a great way for new members to get to know all of the club members and have a say in how things are done.

Peele headed for Temecula. We had a record turnout of cars and parked in the back row near where we parked last year and proceeded to “Shine them Up!!” Some really outstanding Corve es there even though the total number of cars was down slightly. Our club received the Club Par cipa on award for the 2nd year in a row!! Gary & Sharon Wood received 1st Place for their car as did Ron and Cathy Lewis for their 65 Conver ble. Many of us once again had delicious BBQ right next door to the parking lot while others snooped thru the mall or even went to the movies to beat the heat. There were also trips made to the Starbucks. We all had a great me!! 5 PLASTIC FANTASTIC XXXIX MAY 15, 2016 Submi ed by Sco Peele Photos courtesy of Bob Brown This year’s Plas c Fantas c was one for the record books. With almost 400 Corve es in one place, covering 61 years of history, it truly was a spectacular event! The morning started off with overcast skies and some wind, but no rain. As part of the parking team (Kudos to Sam Rindskopf, Rob Roth and the en re parking team - GREAT job!) I was able to meet lots of folks as we arranged all the cars on the south end of the park. It was quite an experience, and felt like we were pu ng together the worlds' most expensive jigsaw puzzle! At one point we had a Navy helicopter hovering over the park, taking in the sight. This was my first Plas c Fantas c. I was able to par cipate in a few of the pre-show ac vi es, like the final walk though and dinner at the Old Spaghe Factory with our club and clubs from Nevada and Arizona. I have to say that I am so impressed by the hard work and organiza onal skills of all those members that make this event happen every year. So many people complimented the club a er the event, as the cars were all leaving. I lost count of all the 'Great Show', Beau ful venue', and ‘See you next year' comments! Well done, NCoCC! 6 7 8 9 10 11 PLASTIC FANTASTIC XXXIX AWARD RESULTS Sponsor’s Choice (CHP) Bob Sengle Best of Show David Blake Club Patricipa on Pacific Coast Corve es Long Distance Mike & Jackie Malouf, Colorado Corve es 1,259 miles C1 1st David Freedman 2nd Bob Sengle 3rd Donald Weeks C2 1st Tim & Gale Osborn 2nd Joseph Prebe 3rd Paul Kerper C3 1st David Blake 2nd Dennis Steadman 3rd Richard Hirsch C4 1st Vicki Alter 2nd Christopher & Denise Milby 3rd Jerry Majer C5 1st Ma hew Glenn 2nd Dan Esqueda 3rd Robert Smith C6 1st Mark Alter 2nd Dee Edwards 3rd Russell Smith C7 1st Robert Fuller 2nd Don Sforzini 3rd Phil & Chris Walters CA 44 Cars CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE WINNERS!
