You might notice that the Cars and Coffee race team has moved closer to the building with their chairs. It has been hot, and they are creeping closer into the shade from the building. They must be cool and hydrated and ready at a moments notice to jump in their cars for a hot drag race or laps at the track. One tough bunch, I’d say! – Your Roving Reporter, Don McKnight Crossing – Saturdays from 7am to 10am

2024 National Corvair Convention July 22 – 25, 2024 Dayton Ohio Trip Diary and photos by Christy B. 2024 Ed Cole Competition Looser The Bucket list just got shorter. After 50 years as a member of Corvair Society of America (CORSA), I decided to participate in the Ed Cole Award competition. I live in Northern California and the event is held in Dayton Ohio. So, this would mean a 2,300 mile trip in the 1974 GMC Suburban pulling an enclosed car hauler carrying a 1963 Red Monza Coupe. And that…

On Armed Forces Day, we honor and offer our profound appreciation and gratitude to the patriots who are serving in our Nation’s Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard. Their professionalism and unwavering dedication to supporting and defending our Constitution has been vital in allowing our democracy to flourish, safeguarding peace and growing prosperity for our citizens, and giving hope to oppressed peoples or those facing tyranny abroad.

The car show meeting was held at Gold Country Classic Cars at the location where we are holding the car show. What a wonderful and inspirational place to hold our meeting surrounded by gorgeous and exotic vehicles! A lot of club members are putting their time and effort in creating a successful and exciting show. Help out! It’ll be fun.
The Roamin Angels “Pit Crew” really stepped up for this show. Mike H., Larry J., and Mike T. did a great job of getting the cars checked in and parked. Pat G. and Karin R. took care of the registration and sales booth. New members, Lori and Robert M. did the judging. It was warm, not too hot but the Millers did a lot of walking checking out the cars. I think the whole crew deserves a special thanks. It seems there were a lot of local car mechanics, auto…
Rods & Relics Car Show Lincoln • June 1, 2024 This was a BIG show. It took 6 square city/neighborhood blocks! I talked to the ladies at the registration booth at 10:00 and they said they had 450 cars and there were still cars coming in and 50 registrations left to hand out. So, 500 cars had signed up. It was alot of walking but I covered the whole show. I am finding out that if I hang the camera around my neck and talk to these car…
Townsmen Show Loomis • May 17, 2024 I really like the Townsmen Show in Loomis. Probably the best place for a car show anywhere. I am sure most of the Roamin Angels are familiar with it. It is kind of compact with a park and the two restaurants using the parking lots for show cars. The Taylors Burgers and the Bar and grill are across the driveway from each other. Taylors has great burgers and the best milkshakes anywhere… One Hundred flavors!. Worth a ride down from Grass Valley on…
This article is a continuation of the “Coil Packs” article published in our May 2024 newsletter. To summarize, the previous article eluded to comparing back EMF to the hammering effect when water flow in a pipe is suddenly blocked, then sloshes back and forth making the hammering noise. So, how does all this water stuff apply to firing spark plugs? At higher RPM’s the 20K volts sloshing back as back EMF, takes a few milliseconds away from firing the coil a gain. Although most of the EMF can be…
