From the Editors

Once again it is time to put together another Octagon Topics.  How quickly the month has gone by.  (I only wish this primary election business would goes so fast.)  But enough pissing and moaning about that which one can do nothing about.

By now I hope everyone has paid their dues for the next year.  The roster will be going to press and you are in danger of being left out.

We had a great month of April.  Sadly we were so busy we were too pooped to do the Hendrickson’s Riverside Museum Run.  I hear everyone had a good time.

Next up will be the car display at the Olde Ship. this Sunday and the fourth Humphrey’s Hollywood Hills Run.  This has always been an exciting drive as indicated by the strong attendance.  See the flyers on pages 7 and 8 for all the details. 

The Scottish Games are returning to Orange County after a number of years at other venues.  Again, the information is all in the flyer on page 9.

We are running into schedule problems and will miss all three of these events.  VARA has their Moss British Extravaganza this weekend at Buttonwillow Raceway.  We will be there running the NE.  It is only a short 140 mile drive.  You can go up and back in one day, so you would not have to miss out on the Olde Ship display.  It would be great to see some VMGers come up just to see the old cars running.

We are leaving for Rome and a short stop over in the UK on our return, so will miss the Hollywood Hills Run.  We will also miss the next OT publication date.  So unless there is a volunteer angel, there will not an OT in May.

 

 

Looking forward to June, Kate Maxey is planning a Hot Dog Hop.  We’ll enjoy some gourmet hot dogs, have a lovely tour along the coast and end up at Kate’s beautiful home for an ice cream social.  You won’t want to miss this one.

Another June event that we have found interesting is the Society of Automotive Historians’ “Literature Exchange”.  It is the place to find that elusive automotive book, magazine, advertisement or sales brochure that you have been searching for.

GoF WEST is rapidly approaching.  It definitely is time to get your registration and hotel reservation in and to plan your travel to Monterey.  This is a wonderful venue with lots to see and do in addition to the GoF itself.

We welcome Kay Cane to the Board.  Kay is taking over Corresponding Secretary duties from Carl Cederstrand as well as taking on Advertising duties for the Octagon Topics.  Many thanks to Carl for his many years of service to VMG.
