July 1st, 2008
Update:
As some of you may know Lloyd Burton is currently in the hospital in San Francisco undergoing tests to determine why he wasn't feeling well last week.   Although there has been no definitive diagnosis, Lloyd is feeling better, and his 'numbers' are improving.  Of course, Lloyd, being Lloyd, he is anxious to leave the hospital and get back to home.

BBQ, Bench Racing, Show n' Shine !: What a Success !!!
Sept. 22 2007 Shasta Raceway Park
Click Here for the Best Photos of the Day !
In spite of a few light raindrops - the members and supporters of the NCARA came out to enjoy a rare and unique event.  Thousands of photos, artifacts and memorabilia were on display at the second official club event.  Most the fledgling club's members were there as well as dozens more who just wandered in from some of the many other motorsports related exhibits running concurrently with the NCARA event.  Hundreds of attendees perused the photos, watched the videos, and most importantly saw old friends, rekindled friendships, and bench raced the past glories, reliving the great history that the club is working to preserve.

Kenny Briggs, longtime announcer for the Shasta Speedway and the newest board member for the club, was on hand to chat with the people and to interview many of the key individuals who made history in racing. 

Here is a quick list of just some of the racers who showed up to celebrate:

- John Spoon
- Jerry Schlosser
- Bob Benefield
- Nick Porter
- Don Porter
- Doug Bauer
- Bob Carrel
- Al Coenen
- Danny Burton
- Nick Porter III
- Don Benefield
- Marvin Benefield
- Roger Carter
- Larry Ford
- Corky Waterman
- Joe Ames
- Johnny Anderson
- George Watson
- Rex Clark
- Don Porter
- John Amick
Just to name a few !!

Many regaled us with stories of their racing, which vividly recounted the fun and excitement that they all shared.  In a day or so Jack Waterman will have hundreds of photos on-line from both the BBQ and the Vintage Car Exhibition that was held on the Friday Night before.  So, check back often to see the photos !!

Special thanks to everyone who came to the First Annual NCARA BBQ and Bench Race at Chico's Silver Dollar Speedway on July 14th.  The organization wants to thank John Padgen for helping make this event a huge sucess - without his generousity this would not have been possible.

Welcome to the new members, and we hope everyone will be attending our next BBQ in September at Shasta Speedway.  If you have a Vintage racecar, or are interested in assisting others in restoring a car, please contact Lloyd Burton.
