Xmas in July, Mike’s BBQ, Escondido, Sat July 23 Jeff and Julie Walker, Ben Jacob, Rick & Lynda Bobick and mark Stoneking were there in support of Rady’s Children’s Hospital. And maybe enjoy some great bbq. Main Street America, Embarcadero
Sun July 30 Several members of the Mopar Club formed up at the Star of India and cruised into the show to support the Corvette Owners Club an-nual show with several worthy entries, but were skunked out of the awards.
But the venue was, as always, spectacular. And Tom Ferreria was there this year with his ‘69 Valiant, which has won Best Sleeper several times in years past. He missed last year’s show after pre-registering, but somehow took the Best Sleeper award when he wasn’t
even there. So this year, he set things right. As you can see, in the photo above.Greatest Show On Turf, South Clairemont Park, Sat Aug 5 The Mopar Club turned out nine cars to support the host San Diego As-sociation of Car Clubs. This is the annual fund raiser for the umbrella group for our towns’ car clubs, and the funds go to acquiring, among other things, car show insurance for member clubs. A tenth entry, a certain brown ‘67 Barracuda, experienced an electri-
cal gremlin on the way to the show and suffered the ignominy of being trailered back to the garage. The owner claims the Russians
did it and is launch-ing an investigation. A record 190 cars entered because Clubmember Bill “HemiBoy” Baugh, as
Prez of the Association, did a stellar job of promoting the show.

So, my beloved 2014 SRT Challenger was showing 18.5k miles on the odo. Yeah, I don’t use it as my daily driver, it’s my weekend toy when I’m not playing with my ‘67 Cuda. But after four years, I decided that the odo needed a bump. And since Mrs. ‘umble just retired after 41 years (!) at USD, we had the time for a road trip! We decided to point the Pitch Black nose of the SRT northward, to visit friends in Oregon. The idea was to get there in 2-1/2 days, taking it easy up I-5, stopping at any roadside fruit stand or museum that boasted an alien skel-eton, ball of twine, what have you. Well, I gotta tell you, getting through LA at about 1 peeyem was not as smooth as I thought it would be. No problemo, says I, as once we get north of the Big City, we can roll unhindered up through the San Joaquin Valley. Wrong again! It must be harvest time in the produce factory to the world as I-5 was choked with trucks. Big ones, hauling toma-toes brimming over the open trailer sides. You’d think they’d get in line and draft each other at the CA speed limit for trucks at 55 mph, allowing cars to pass them. Wrong again!. Ev-ery 15 miles or so there was always a trucker doing 57 mph. And these bozos had to pass a line of trucks doing 55, sometimes six in row. The overtaking rate was funereal, and I did not buy 475 hp to do 57 mph. So, we kicked over to 101. Better, but not perfect. We did find a wonderful gift store at an almond ranch run by the Sohnrey family. And in Chico, we stopped at the Sierra Nevada Brewery for a great tour. We bunked in at Los Banos. The Toilets? Nah. Named after a creek where monks bathed. On the way home from Eugene, OR, we drove across SR 20 to get to Hiway 1. Fantastic views on the 2-lane road that you better not miss turns on. And 1 was even better. We stopped at numer-ous vista turnoffs, hiked the Redwoods, and lunched at the Sea Ranch Lodge. We were told that a stop at Fort Ross would be worth our while, and so it was. Established by the Tsar of Russia back in 1814, it was established as a colony to hunt sea otters and grow wheat to be sent as flour to Russian colonies in Alaska. It’s the site of California’s first windmill. Who knew? Them Russkies were tough, as the living conditions looked pretty crude. Anyhoo, I got 2304 terrific miles added to the odo. The state is beautiful and I recommend a road trip. Before the roads get any worse.- Bob Gough, Y’r ‘umble Ed’tr.

The 19th All-Ameri-can Car Show went off beautifully, with over 50 Clubmem-bers stepping up to enter the show with their cars this year. Honoring us were several Mopar clubs that entered cars or provided sponsor-ship, including the Inland Mopar Club. Additional sponsor-ship for the show came from 21 busi-nesses plus individu-als for 35 trophies, and donations for the raffle prizes. Larry and Debbie Johnson again were terrific in pulling together the logistics, with lots of help from Jeff and Julie Walker. Clubmembers too numerous to mention professionally handled parking chores, judging, registration, handing out flyers, and the raffle booth. Our four local beneficiaries had booths and sold raffle tick-ets, and several vendors displayed their wares. Food was provided by CSDS Det West 1st Class PO Assoc. And many thanks to Rancho Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for their major event sponsorship. The ocean breezes kept everyone cool. And “cool” is how this year’s All-Ameri-can Car Show can best be described. Be sure to check additional photos and winners at our Club website:www.moparclubsandiego.net.
