EMMR TIMES The A quarterly publication of the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing Located at 100 Baltimore Road, York Springs, PA 2014 Issue No. 1 • published in March 2014 FROM THE PRESIDENT Hello Members. First I want to thank all of you that helped me turn “70” on January 19th. The roast was a good one but I ran out of time for all my rebuttals. Don’t worry…I don’t get mad…I get even. Our Thursday night work crew is hard at work cleaning and making improvements to our museum. Lynn Paxton President, We will be engraving our walls this EMMR winter, so if you bought a block come to the Open House April 5th & 6th to take a look at your contribution and reunite with friends. The gray 2014 schedule was changed as follows: On March 16th our roundtable will be on the history of Late Model racing in our area. We would like to invite all drivers, owners, mechanics, and fans to this event. The time of our roundtables is 1 to 3 p.m. Last year was a great year for our organization. Our last events, the Lobitz Movie Party and the Fred Rahmer Roast was well attended and a lot of fun. Our Spring Open House on Saturday, April 5th will feature Memories of Bud Faubel and a roundtable from 1 to 3 p.m. On Sunday, April 6th, the roundtable will be with Keith Kauffman. This year will be celebrating our 40th Annual EMMR/WGOT Convention. We will be honoring the A.R.D.C. Organization, Williams Grove Speedway 75 years of Racing, and Crocky Wright. Our Grand Marshalls this year are: Stan Lobitz, Perry Trimmer, and Judy Freels. That’s all for now. See you at the museum, fairground or at one of our events throughout the year. —Lynn Paxton Receive your newsletter in Color!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Amanda You are very important to the MuChmiola-Eshenour seum. Admin. Coordinator., EMMR I am back in full swing after being out on maternity leave. Jonathan is growing like a weed and each day is full of surprises. If you were here for Lynn’s Roast you got to meet him. Jonathan will be here for one of the days during the Spring Open House on April 5 and 6. Amber loves being a big sister and is always happy to help. I am happy to report that we welcomed five new volunteers last year to the Museum! We are always looking for more help. There will be a volunteer training on Sunday, March 16th from 10 AM to 12 PM with lunch provided for anyone who would like to learn about the Museum or brush up on your knowledge if it’s been a while since you volunteered. It does not take a lot of training. A Friday here or Sunday there is all I am asking for. I am also looking for some people who would like to learn the computer in the Gift Shop. It is very simple and easy to learn. The Museum will be open from April 4th to October 26th from 10 AM to 4 PM every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So please, look at your calendar and see if you can join us for 6 hours a month. Just call me at the Museum 717-528-8279 or email [email protected]. —Amanda Chmiola-Eshenour BOARD MEETINGS The EMMR Times All are welcome to attend, 4th Tuesday of the month, 7:00 pm at EMMR. 1 I can hardly believe that it is nearly time to go racing again! Events have already been run Craig Agan in some parts of the country Development, and local tracks will open soon. EMMR That means the EMMR Spring Open House is just around the corner. I can’t wait to see you there on April 5 & 6. My season was cut short last year when an accident caused me to need spinal surgery. Missing my annual trek to the National Open, Hershey, and the EMMR Swap Meet and Car Corral left me extremely disappointed. But I was thrilled when I heard Fred Rahmer won Williams Grove and so sad that I didn’t get to see it live. The victory was a fitting culmination of an extraordinary career for Rahmer. Special thanks to all who sent get well cards while I was doing a bit of “sheet time”. From all reports the Stan Lobitz Movie Party was a great success again in November. Besides being a joyous day for everyone in attendance, the Lobitz Party is an important annual fundraiser for the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing. Stan has done so much for EMMR over the years. It will be great fun to honor him and others at the 40th Annual Convention in August. The previously mentioned “Fast” Freddie Rahmer agreed to be the special guest for the December 1 Holiday Open House. Fred, together with his wife Debbie and former mechanic Lee Stauffer, were a hit with all of the fans and EMMR supporters in attendance. Fred spoke candidly about his career and working with his sons in 2014 and beyond. Thanks, Fred, for being a special friend to the Eastern Museum. Next up on the schedule was a really special “Third Sunday Roundtable.” We spoke of Stan Lobitz earlier, well, rumor has it that he took a shot or two at his old friend during the January 19 “Lynn Paxton Roast” and Birthday Celebration. Darn, I really hate that I missed that party! From the photos I saw it looked like a huge crowd and everyone was having a great time helping Lynn celebrate. Or maybe it was that Vintage Motorcycle Exhibit News For the 2014 season Potomac Vintage Riders (PVR) plan to showcase regional short track legendary race bikes at the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing. Among them will be: • 1951 Indian Warrior 500cc dirt tracker. Owned and raced by Nick Taylor of Maryland. • 1975 Kawasaki KX400 modified for short track. Owned and raced by Bill Menges of Maryland. • 1979 Honda CR250 Champion framed short tracker. Now owned and raced by John Yurajefcik of York, PA. This bike has a local racing heritage and will have the memorabilia displayed with it. • One of the early bikes raced by Shayna Texter of Lancaster, PA. Shayna competes in the national flat track series and has recently received support through Triumph. Shayna Texter appeared on the Tonight show with Jay Leno after her first National flat track win. There will be two or three other bikes as well. The display will be in place prior to the April opening. —Mark Williams, Potomac Vintage Riders www.potomacvintageriders.com they all just relishing the chance to give back to Paxton some of the grief he’d given them over the years! Anyway, thanks for the memories, Lynn! I hope I wasn’t too obvious, but I’ve recapped many of these exciting EMMR events for a reason. I don’t want you to miss the fun! If you are within reasonable driving distance, another exciting season is starting soon. Mark your calendar and don’t miss any of the 2014 special events! See schedule on page 7. I’ll see you at the Spring Open House! —Craig Agan Join ! Today EMMR Membership P Annual is $20. P Lifetime is $200.

It is wonderful to have a place to hold our annual car show and board meetings. The display area within the Museum lets us promote the region and the antique car hobby. The Gettysburg Region and its membership help support and volunteer in the Museum and the Latimore Valley Fairgrounds. More history on the Gettysburg Region and our activities will follow in upcoming issues of this newsletter. Our annual dinner and meeting was held Saturday February 2, 2014 at the East Berlin Community Center. This event is held annually to install newly elected officers, thank outgoing officers and present special awards to members that show devotion and support to the region. The new officers installed this year are as follows; Howard King, President; Ron Green, Vice President; Brenda Wood, Secretary; and Karen Engle, Treasurer. EMMR Museum Gift Shop We can’t wait for this cold weather to wrap up and get this years activities started at EMMR! New items in the gift shop include a new adjustable cotton twill cap from Legacy Athletic in Hanover PA. I always like to use local suppliers if possible. They have always been great with merchandise for the Jalopy Showdown and we are happy to use them for the gift shop hats. We’ve had requests for a refrigerator magnet so look them in the gift shop. A new book, Wicked Fast: Racing Through Life with Bentley Warren is now in stock. Reviewers say: “One of the most decorated short-track drivers of his generation, seven-time champion at New York’s Oswego Speedway, four-time ISMA series champ, and two-time Little 500 winner, Bentley Warren is also a self-taught entrepreneur, merry saloon4 There is also a fun time built into this event, as the region has its own Outhouse Players. They perform some of the most ridicules skits and poke fun at many members and national officers of AACA. A fun evening for all! The Gettysburg Region will hold its 39th Annual Antique & Classic Auto & Truck show with a flea market on Saturday, June 14th 2014 at the Latimore Fairgrounds. This is our 14th year at Latimore and the show has grown and been a very successful event for us. Race cars, antique gas engines, farm tractors and related equipment are encouraged to attend this show. There will be NO entry fee for these displays. Please call Harry Sherwood (717) 697-0411 to reserve your spot. For more information and registration please visit our website at www.aaca.org/gettysburg or pick up a flyer in the vestibule at the Museum. Plenty of good food and ice cream will be available. Be sure to attend the Model T race on Friday evening June 13. Lynn does not stand a chance of winning since he turned 70. —Bob Shultz keeper, hot-rod Harley rider, and overall hell-raiser with a heart.” We have also a reorder of the Parnelli Jones book, Paved Track Dirt Track, and Miller’s Time – A Lifetime at Speed—the story on the life and accomplishments of Don Miller, auto racing executive and longtime partner of Roger Penske. A new EMMR shirt featuring one of our favorite local drivers will be available this spring. I think it will be a HUGE hit! If you did not get one of the black “Roadster Race” EMMR shirts yet—buy it up... the new shirt will be the replacement for it! There will also be a new drag shirt later in the season. Think Spring! —Larry & Kim Garland The EMMR Times Purcha supporses EMMR t ! 2014 Issue No. 1 • published in March 2014 4 1 0 2 , 7 1 May Y P O L JA OWN D W O H S n’t miss it! Do On May 17th the twelfth annual Jalopy Showdown will be held at the Latimore Valley Fairgrounds of the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing. One of the most popular yearly events at the historic racetrack located near York Springs, Penna., owners of pre-1965 traditional rods and customs gather from all over the east coast to exhibit and run their cars. The Jalopy Showdown also features three live Rockabilly bands and vendors. This year’s Jalopy Showdown will feature something we have not done in many years—a regular track time event. Because we usually have somewhere around 3000 people here that day I am looking to preregister the race cars for the event because we will just not have space for more. First, the pits will not be available, so the truck and trailers for ALL race cars will be parked in the farmer’s field behind the workshop. The trucks and trailers will need to enter directly from Latimore Valley Road into the farmer’s field. Also, as we call the cars out we will have to enter and exit the track at the opening at turn 1 which is also near the workshop. I know this is unusual but necessary because of the VERY large crowds. We are looking for 6 to 8 cars for each of the three divisions: sprints, midgets, and stock cars for regular track time. 2014 Issue No. 1 • published in March 2014 We will also field roadsters and coupes from the group of hot rods and will heavily police them on the track. If it rains of course we will not run the race cars. We will also need the usual group of tracktime volunteers to work the corners and tower. If you have interest in running a car that day please contact me at [email protected] or 717-428-0110 and let me know what you have, but PLEASE show up if you say you are coming! Thanks for your continued support of EMMR and this will be a great way to let a whole new large group of people see what it is we do at the museum. In addition, we always get national coverage in the hot rod magazines, so it’s a win win for us!!
