Meet the Committee


President’s Report I have to start by saying that these months are flying. I feel that I’m writ-ing these reports every week not month! I’m going to keep this report short and brief.

Well my phone calls have dropped off a little since the Convention and calls and e-mails amongst the com-mittee have eased off a little as well. I’m busy around the house and try-ing to finish my shed before winter kicks in.

We’ve got some great runs and events coming up and the Mighty Hawks look like having a great sea-son (fingers crossed!). The club re-cently attended the all American Car Show at Flemington race course which is always a great day out with a reserved spot for our club. We have also had quite a few new mem-bers join up, so welcome to you all. We will make a new start on the club trailer soon so we can have it ready for summer.

The Cruden Park event would have been run and a few members en-joyed the gathering at the Manhattan Hotel. I’m still getting great feedback from Convention entrants and every-one seems to be liking the general e-mail outputs (please don’t return a email with the general e-mails, can you please send me a new one if needed!).

Lois and myself are looking for sug-gestions and information for runs from members so we can put to-gether a list for future runs.

Juli needs more newsletter articles and the Mighty Hawks are doing well!

Don’t forget that membership fees have increased by $10.00.

We still have odd size shirts from the convention and stubbie holders for sale, and the Mighty Hawks beat Collingwood.

Don’t forget about the May Mystery run and the Tatura run.

The last item I want to raise is con-gratulating the Kibblewhites for en-tering the Kids fun run for the Royal Children’s Hospital. Vicky, Dillon and matt for their second time and Mi-chael for his first, completed the 5.5km run across the Westgate Bridge. What a great effort by the family and Michael didn’t even light up a ciggy halfway! Great effort guys and for a good cause. Well that’s about it for now, just like the cook- short and sweet!

Have a great month ahead.

“Drive ‘em hard”,

Greg Rowe .

Convention:Convention:Convention:Convention: Event was well received with great comments from many of the entrants. 73 entries with an additional 43 cars on the day. Spectators numbers were lower than hoped for, possibly due to the cold weather. The bus was a great idea used by many members, a bit of a wait but worth it. Last ride of the night was a bit squishy!

Special thanks to Glenn Rulach for his support with the shirts for the Chev Con-vention.

They looked excellent. Everyone loved them and they sold like hotcakes.

Chrome Bumper Report

The Chrome Bumper Show to benefit the CFA was held at the Manhattan Hotel on 21 April 2013. I had heard about the show a couple of weeks earlier on a GMH inter-net forum and decided that it was suffi-ciently close to home to take my 56 for a look

However, l first had to discover why the engine was rocking over so savagely when l got on the gas that it was hitting the bonnet cut out. This problem had emerged after the first run at the drags during the Convention weekend. Anyway; after trying to wobble and rock a few things l couldn’t see any obvious issues, but after jacking the car up the cause be-came evident. The two halves of the left hand engine mount had parted company. One new engine mount later and l was ready for the car show.

The Manhattan car park is a couple of acres of bitumen and also the location of the American Muscle Car Show. I arrived around 9:30 am at which time there were already 100 or so cars lined up including David with his 57 Nomad alongside Glenn with the 64. With a constant stream of cars driving in the numbers reached over 200 within the next hour.

Being open to all chrome bumper cars there were a great variety of vehicles on display including hot rods, customs, mus-cle cars and American iron. Interestingly there were quite a number of slammed

and customised Beetles and Karmann-Ghias rowed up together. The hot rod Volksy is a growing trend, and why not, when for virtually the price of an original 32 Ford grill shell you can build a cool car based on a derelict Dak Dak.

Throughout the morning other tri five Chevys cruised in and out including Ro-han in his newly acquired 55 family wagon and Shane in the 55 sedan. There were also a surprising number of cars which l hadn’t seen before including a sweet 57 coupe in black and an Aussie 57 four door.

Plenty of Chrysler and Dodge muscle was on display and a Batmobile recreation based on a Valiant coupe was well done and created plenty of interest, especially with the kids.

The final wash up was over 300 cars and around $2,000 raised for the CFA.

The club organise the normal meeting point at the Kangaroos oval at Arden street. We then all followed Karl to the Flemington Race Course car park to set up our normal club position inside. One problem there was 2 Oldsmo-bile’s parked in the way. After talking to one of the gentlemen (who almost got a blood nose) who refused to move from our club reserved spot we made a corporate decision to take up their club spot next to ours (there loss not ours). We set up the club marquee and bbq’s and lined the cars up for a great day (mustangs to be parked across the road hey Joe!). The weather was kind up until pack up time when it poured enough to heat things up a bit. Once again a another great day at Flemington as it always is with a full house attendance. Special thanks to the Girls Auxiliary for looking after merchandise and membership.
