Cruise Night – Another Road to Travel

Suppose if you will, Highway 126 was closed or worse, didn’t exist.  How would we get to Santa Paula or Ventura or points beyond?  Where would we caravan as a Corvette Club?  Would our well-shined ‘Vettes just stay parked in our garages remaining low mileage for the next buyer?  NO, I say!  We have to Drive.  We Have to Caravan.  And, we HAVE to EAT!

And so it was on August 26th.  No, Highway 126 wasn’t closed, but we found there is plenty for the Santa Clarita Valley Corvette Club to do right here in the Santa Clarita Valley.

It doesn’t matter if it is Saturday morning, Thursday night or in this case Sunday evening.  Our well-shined Corvettes are ready to go and are NOT going to remain parked for the lucky next buyer!

 We have lots to do right here in the area without having to pay Sacramento those crazy taxes any more than we have to.  After all, we live in Los Angeles County’s third largest community and have plenty of roads to travel and along the way, plenty of places to EAT.  So, I and 40 others were all in agreement on August 26th.  Our Activities had a local caravan and destination planned. None of us knew the details but were all willing to forego an evening of summer re-runs to put the tops down on our Corvettes for a Cruise Night through our own backyard.

We still had Walmart as our gathering place, and gather we did.  Corvette after Corvette rolled in at the appointed time.

Even Russ Obarski came out with his spanking new black/black 2019 Stingray.  Then, onward we all rolled, taking over Newhall Ranch Parkway and then an unbroken file outbound on Bouquet Canyon Road.

A right on Vasquez Canyon Road took us through some curves and another right onto Sierra Highway and a left onto Sand Canyon got us Soledad Canyon Road and into our “Corvette Corral” at Route 66 Classic Grill for what else, food!

The Route 66 staff must be applauded for their excellent service, taking great care of all of our dining needs.  We appreciate it and are looking forward to our next big event coming up on September 29th, our All-Corvette Car Show.

The almost autumn evening air then called us for ice cream at the nearby Cold Stones and then some more hanging out with friends before heading to our nearby homes.  It was a great call by our Activities people and by the way, a great caravan lead by Steve and Judy Turkheimer.

Santa Paula Chevrolet BBQ

We have all caravanned out on the 126 a time or two. Most of us have even been to Santa Paula Chevrolet for both business or pleasure or a combination of the two.  We have partaken of the great BBQ prepared by Laird’s Butcher Shop & BBQ and have enjoyed the hearty fare. The same is likely true for the Redline and Ventura Corvette Clubs as well, but twice a year we are faithful in answering the call and return to Santa Paula Chevrolet for yet another lunchtime BBQ feast surrounded by scores of terrific Corvettes (ours and theirs) and plenty of other tempting Chevrolet products.

On Aug 18th, our pilgrimage began with the mandatory sign-in and drivers’ meeting in the Walmart lot under a pleasantly cool blue sky. There were a large number of tops down or off for the drive as eighteen gorgeous Vettes lined up and rolled west toward a partial marine-layered and cooler destination. Judy and I led the way in our ’62 with its new water pump and enjoyed this trip to Ventura County without any overheating. A reading of 160˚ on the water temperature gauge and wind in our hair, a perfect combination for our easy morning drive.

Once we arrived and lined our Vettes up among the early arrivals we went about the usual tire-kicking, visiting, and maybe even some shopping. The dealership had numerous tempting retail Corvette related items for sale and of course there were new Corvettes and other Chevys to drool over.

Even though this caravan was similar to other BBQ caravans, it still offered it’s own unique flavor. This was the first club caravan for Peter and Carrie Di Orio, who enjoyed the ride tremendously. Tom Tomlinson brought his neighbor Don Knight, not yet a Corvette owner, but Don bought a Corvette hat from the dealership display, so what might be on the horizon?

Oh, there was still another unique event at the BBQ. We conducted a special new member induction of our first and only Honorary Members. Your board recommended the recognition of John and Sandra Macik as Honorary Members in recognition of their outstanding service and support as sponsors of the Santa Clarita Valley Corvette Club.  Our Membership Chair, Judy Woodings, presented John and Sandra with club name badges along with special membership certificates as they were welcomed into our club. John and Sandra proudly wore their new badges throughout the day and a “spy-shot” into John’s office even spotted his SCVCC certificate displayed in his bookcase!

The BBQ meal was delicious as always…The Corvettes were beautiful as always…
Time with friends was great as always…What could be better? Next time, I will drive the air-conditioned, modern Vette for the 97˚ return home!

 Many thanks to Santa Paula Chevrolet for another great BBQ, and welcome to the club John and Sandra!

Taste of the Town: Mama’s Table

Hot August Nights are not enough to keep our club away when it’s Taste-of-the-Town evening here in the Santa Clarita Valley. It’s too hot to heat up the house with cooking and too hot even to fire up the grill outside.

We have been living off salads for too many days straight, so when the email arrives from our Activities Committee by way of our Communications Guy saying we are going to Mama’s Table for some “home cooking” for TOT, I say “let’s go”! Apparently that was the response most had as well with another great turn-out of hungry Corvette people.

As I arrived, there were plenty of Vettes filling the lot and apparently lots who opted to drive the ferrous vehicle as well since out club people filled the restaurant even before the 6 PM start time.

Mama’s Kitchen is located at 23340 Cinema Drive, where Freshworks was previously. The owners ran a successful restaurant in Washington for 9 years and decided to sell and start new in SoCal. They are kind and enthusiastic and happy to serve. This is literally a mom and pop operation where they even make their own pies. His wife bakes the pies and helps with the cooking. I’m sure most of us will be going back to Mama’s Table again, maybe in a few weeks, maybe in a few months, but we’ll definitely be back.

The restaurant has a large menu with plenty of choices for every taste. It’s open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with breakfast being extremely popular with the homemade jams that are available. It has been compared to the Black Bear Diner with a local atmosphere and with plenty of room for a large group.

September will take us to for our next TOT at Saddle Ranch Chop House, so if you’re not heading to Prescott, dust off your cowboy attire and mark your calendar for a great time of visiting and bull riding at another fine event put together by our Activities Committee.

SACC National Convention – Ventura

Imagine a car show with no judges and no trophies. A show where every car is a winner. That is exactly the show that took place at the Four Points Sheraton over the weekend of July 20 – 22 at the Ventura Harbor. We are all members of our terrific Santa Clarita Valley Corvette Club where members own and enjoy Corvettes representing all seven generations, but in our midst, several members have in their corral some mighty fine C1 cars.

The C1s roll out when weather permits, not too hot and not too cold. They lead our entry in the annual July 4th parade. And their ownership is the key to membership in another terrific club, the Solid Axle Corvette Club (SACC), whose membership is open to owners of 1953 to 1962 Corvettes.

 

The SACC was formed by enthusiasts who enjoy the uniqueness of the C1s. The club has six chapters (Northwest, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, Central Great Rivers, Southern California and Arizona). The club features get-togethers, a National Convention and an excellent quarterly magazine (On Solid Ground). The National Convention rotates between the regions each year and this month the event returned to our area, hosted by the Southern California Chapter.

This year’s convention in Ventura featured 61 C1 Corvettes in attendance with not only local SACC members cars, but also a large caravan from the Pacific Northwest and members from Missouri, Illinois, Texas, Florida and even Massachusetts to name a few.

The meet included a caravan from Ventura to the Mike Malamut Museum in Thousand Oaks and a Harbor Cruise in Ventura Harbor, informative Tech Sessions and special old-time Corvette racers telling us all how it was at the track in the ‘50s. Besides all that, there was plenty of time for owners to kick tires and compare notes about their passion, their C1s!

It’s not often we actually see a C1 on the road like we did in the days of American Graffiti, but a few of us in the SCVCC are still living the dream, driving our C1s whenever possible. The Ryans with their ‘54, the Fulmers with their ‘57, the Nolans with their ‘60, the McDonalds with their ‘61 and the Woodings with their ’62 are the current C1 people. We have to include the McCloskey’s in the count too with their longtime ties to C1s and the SACC and “Clutch’s” wealth of knowledge about the old Corvettes that helps us all to keep them on the road!

With that said, there was plenty of interest among our SCVCC membership in seeing all of the C1s gathered at the convention in Ventura. Yet another reason for a run in the more modern ‘Vettes and maybe even a surprise breakfast enroute.

On Sunday, the 22nd, while many of our SACC people were attending a tech session and still many more were hanging out with their C1s in the “corral”, another sight to behold rolled off Harbor Drive and into the lot with over 20 Corvettes from the SCVCC arriving en masse to check out the old-timers there, and their C1s too!

 

As mentioned earlier, every Corvette at the convention was a winner and with the arrival of the SCVCC Corvettes, a score more winners were added to the collection according to hotel guests and other passersby checking out all of the activity and fiberglass in the lot.

 

In 2019, the SACC National Convention will be in August in Detroit. Keep abreast of the details as they unfold and maybe some of us can even include the convention with the Bowling Green Caravan. In your dreams, you say. I say it can be done. Just ask this year’s attendee from Massachusetts who drove her ’59 over 3,000 miles in a six-day trip…by herself! No wimps in the SACC!

Taste of the Town: Cheesecake Factory

Summer is here, and with it, those HOT days that we experience this time of year. HOT days are toasty in the middle of the day but generally our mornings and evenings are gorgeous. July 19th was one of those typical days weather-wise and it was the third Thursday of the month, so you know what that means…no cooking at our house tonight! It’s time to join Corvette friends for an evening of socializing amd exploring another menu for something delicious that won’t blow the calorie and carb counts off the chart.

Taste-of-the-Town for July had us gathering at the Cheesecake Factory in the Valencia Mall for our monthly social. The location dictates the focus on the meeting is more food and cameraderie, not Corvettes since we all park where we can find a spot and most choose to drive the metal car instead of the fiberglass one to keep the Vette for nice!

It was another great turn-out with 40 in attendance. We are all on equal footing at the Cheesecake factory where everyone gathers and we are all seated together. Even when I arrive on-time, I don’t feel like I’m late!

Cheesecake Factory started out way over the hill in the 310 area in 1978 as a small salad-and-sandwich restaurant in Beverly Hills that sold 10 varieties of cheesecakes on a one-page menu. Next came a second restaurant in Marina del Rey and a third, larger location in Redondo Beach. It took quite a while for the 192 restaurant chain to make it to Awesometown, but we are glad it is here. You know right from the start that you aren’t at In-N-Out when they hand you a three pound menu with over 250 items listed. The choices are many but there is something for everybody!

August will take us to Mama’s Kitchen for our next TOT, so mark your calendar for a great time of visiting and bring your Corvette too for another fine event put together by our Activities Committee.

4th of July Parade

Have you ever considered why we celebrate a holiday on the 4th of July? Yes, we all know it is to commemorate our independence, but why the 4th? It’s history time.

The legal separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain in 1776 actually occurred on July 2, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence. After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence and debated the wording of the Declaration, approving it two days later on July 4.

Luckily for us 242 years later, the debate didn’t go until the 6th. This year, July 4th offered terrific parade weather, but poor us if we had waited until the 6th for that heatwave we just experienced!

Our club is traditionally well represented in the annual Santa Clarita 4th of July Parade and 2018 was no exception. Twenty-five gorgeous Corvettes, representing all seven generations gathered on Newhall Avenue to decorate with all sorts of bunting and flags in preparation for our turn to pass in review. The challenge of the morning was getting past all the cones, barricades and guards to get to our start location. Next year, we just have to assemble a little earlier.

Once we were rolling sometime after 9 AM, we all witnessed an exceptional welcome and cheering as we passed the tremendous number of spectators assembled along the route. Reports are that this year’s attendance surpassed previous attendance and was well over 26,000.

 This year’s parade theme was “It’s a Grand Old Flag” and our club took the theme to heart with the grand showing of flags decorating our Corvettes. The parade route was the same as in years past, beginning on Main Street in Old Town Newhall, then on Lyons Avenue and onto Orchard Village and 16th Street to the finish.

There were only two known mishaps, both minor. Dwight’s C1 understandably got a bit hot and yours truly lost his club flag along the way. We will all be fine though!

As in years past too, we had to continue our tradition of “drive and eat” and this year returned to Margarita’s Mexican Restaurant to enjoy a meal together and to critique our parade experience with each other and other club members who chose to be spectators this time around. There might have even some who enjoyed Margarita’s margaritas too!

The parade was finished and the bunting was back in storage when the news was published in the local paper. Once again, it was announced that the SCVCC was awarded First Place in the Car or Motorcycle Club category. Well done and well deserved! PS, the official report shows sunny and 79˚ for the end of the parade on the 4th. At same time on the 6th, It was 112˚!

40th Anniversary Picnic

Since we all seem to believe everything that is found on the internet, my research has to be pretty close to fact. A Google search for the FIRST Corvette club revealed no specific information. However, the Corvette Club of America had its first club meeting on July 17, 1956 at Rosenthal Chevrolet in Arlington, Virginia. While it is likely that some club activity existed before this date, this first recorded meeting has become the official birth date.

Our own Santa Clarita Valley Corvette Club’s website states our club was established in 1978 by a small group of Corvette owners locally to bring together enthusiasts from all walks of live to share in the adventures experienced in Corvette ownership. Like the Corvette itself, our club continues to evolve, improve, and change. For love of country, love of the Corvette, and bonding friendship, all Corvette owners are encouraged to become part of our outstanding club as we celebrate our 40th Anniversary.

Therefore, while we aren’t the newest Corvette Club in America, we are known by many (at least 100) to be one of the best of the nearly 400 clubs in the country.

Our first annual club picnic in 2017 was a great event and the new tradition was off to a terrific start. With 2018 being our club’s big 40th anniversary year, our board decided this year’s summer celebration should be included with the appreciation picnic. So from there, the planning was under way to make this year’s event even better than our first, if that was possible.

Picnic day arrived early for our Activities Committee and staff as they claimed our spot at Steckel Park and went about the set-up activity, making sure every detail matched Mark Ware’s extensive preparation spreadsheet.

Meanwhile, scores of members gathered at the designated assembly area in the Walmart lot for headcount and sign-in, eager to get the day rolling. It was an amazing sight seeing 30 awesome Corvettes heading west on CA 126 on unusually open roadway toward our destination.

Our caravan was not only witnessed by locals and passersby but was monitored by a high-flying drone flown by Pilot Mark at over two miles out as we approached the park.

Once we arrived and parked in our reserved “Corvette Corral” we caravaners all recognized the splendid set-up that was done and waiting for us. Two covered pavilions decorated to the hilt, game areas laid out and equipped with all types of picnic games and a band ready to rock us through the afternoon.

John and Sandra Macik of Santa Paula Chevrolet joined us for the event as Vette people enjoying time with other enthusiasts. It was a good opportunity to get to know John and Sandra in this casual surrounding. The Maciks previously introduced us to the BBQ served by Laird’s Butcher Shop in Santa Paula and our planners called upon their cooking skills to once again serve us an excellent picnic BBQ meal. Great call by all involved in putting together our grub and beverages!

But wait, there was more. Our band, “Drop Zone”, rocked. SCVCC’s own Chet Morse even joined the band with a great blues number! I can attest to the great selection of tunes by the band and was posed this question by member “M.C.”, “this is from your era, right?” How could I not appreciate the Rolling Stones song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”? All of us in our earlier days heard that Stones song and probably only wished we or owned a Corvette then, but looking at the parking lot, we have certainly all gotten a lot of “what we want”!

The games, raffles and even dancing all went to making our picnic a fun event.

To climax the gathering, our president Dwight McDonald spoke to us all about the significance of this, our club’s 40th anniversary. Several of our past club presidents were in attendance for our anniversary celebration as well. John Noble, Sara Seeley, Fred Seeley, Jeff Hernandez and Greg Attl all spoke and expressed their well wishes for the future of the club.

 All in all, the picnic was fun, delicious and a success. We all convey our thanks and appreciation to our Activities people and their set-up crew for putting it all together and a pat on the back to all of us as well, since without each of us there would be no club. Job well done!

Taste of the Town: Toppers – Canyon Country

Story: Mike Woodings

We have all eaten pizza and we have been to Toppers, but we keep coming to these monthly socials every third Thursday of the month.  Pizza can be a very balanced meal choice and Toppers is a terrific place to eat, so what is the attraction of our Taste-of-the-Town events?

I would say that when you add the special people attending, coupled with the terrific Corvettes we all drive, you have a combination that can’t be beat and are guaranteed a good and tasty time out…plus no dishes to wash.

Toppers is a locally owned and operated pizza restaurant company based in Ventura County with 9 locations all offering selections that are fresh, healthy and great tasting! They advertise a place that is friendly and comfortable place, which we can all agree it is. Thanks to the Topper’s staff for their great service to our 37 attendees.

Can I say more about Taste-of-the-Town? Why, yes I can. Besides the already mentioned positives, TOT is a gathering where we sometimes witness surprises. There have been plenty of times when old friends have dropped in for a visit and even times when one of us rolled in with a new Corvette. Our Jun 21st social was indeed one of those times, but maybe a step-up from those other times.

At this Taste-of-the-Town, we drove into the lot and immediately took notice of a Sebring Orange Corvette among the several other Vettes present. Dang, you say! That’s a ZR1! Who did it? Who just bought what is surely the fastest Corvette in the club? The answer…Ron Nolan. Dude, what a car!

We will be seeing lots more of Ron, and Donna, at upcoming events as they save their C1 and C2 for those special local events.
Until then, we will meet again at another fine event put together by our Activities Committee and maybe witness another TOT surprise.

Three-Club Run – Fort Tejon

Sometimes you just Have to get up before breakfast, and Saturday, June 9th was one of those days. It is not often that we meet at 7:45, and even more unusual that we have a run with other clubs, but all the stars aligned and that is just what occurred.

Phase One was the roll-call and sign-in at Walmart on Copperhill and Newhall Ranch. When your writer arrived at the appointed time, the lot was alive with eager and dare I say hungry Corvette people with more rolling in. My best count was 15 Corvettes with the corresponding number of occupants that were ready to go when the word was given, on our first leg of the event.

Just 22.2 miles away, on CA 126 in familiar Fillmore, we rolled into the lot at El Pescador Mexican Restaurant on the west side of town. Fortunately, no pit-stops were needed en-route. Our run on this bright, clear day was to Fort Tejon, in Lebec, with breakfast beforehand together with the Ventura County Corvette Club and Red Line Corvettes.

Our hosts for the event were John Macik and his wife Sandra Macik of Santa Paula Chevrolet. They arrived in a beautiful 2019 Torch Red Grand Sport convertible (available at the dealership!).

El Pescador’s staff did a noteworthy job of handling our needs and desires as we flooded their banquet room with right around 100 customers. Thanks go out to El Pescador and our hosts as well for a delightful start to the Three-Club and Three County Run as our three Corvette clubs.

Following breakfast at El Pescador, John served as honorary road captain, complete with 2-way radio tuned to channel 7, for what was his and Sandra’s first Corvette Caravan. 50 Corvettes all headed EAST on CA 126, back to Santa Clarita and then north on I-5 to Fort Tejon. The route took three clubs from Ventura County, through Los Angeles County into Kern County to our destination.

As we arrived, we found the Fort Tejon visitor lot empty and ready to accommodate all of our Corvettes. It was beautiful to behold.

For those who opted for Cheerios at home and who have never thought to stop at Fort Tejon while traversing the Grapevine, I assure you it is worth the short ride up the hill to check it out. Fort Tejon is located in the Grapevine Canyon, the main route between California’s great central valley and Southern California. The fort was established to protect and control the Indians who were living on the Sebastian Indian Reservation, and to protect both the Indians and white settlers from raids by the Paiutes, Chemeheui, Mojave, and other Indian groups of the desert regions to the southeast.

Fort Tejon was first garrisoned by the United States Army on August 10, 1854 and was abandoned ten years later on September 11, 1864. There are restored adobes from the original fort and the park’s museum features exhibits on army life and local history. The park also has a number of beautiful 400-year-old valley oak trees.

Monterey Coast Corvette Cruise

Story: Mike Woodings

We are all old enough to remember The Beach Boys and much of their music is imprinted in our minds, but one song written by Al Jardine might have slipped through the crack for most. The song is “California Saga” and starts out with big reference to Monterey. The first part of the lyrics goes:

‘On my way to sunny California
On my way to spend another sunny day

Water, water get yourself in the cool, clear, water
The sun shines brightly down on Penny’s place
The sun shines brightly down on the bay
The air’s so clean it’ll just take your mind away
Take your mind away
Take your mind away

Have you ever been south of Monterey
Barrancas carve the coast line and the chaparral flows to the sea
‘Neath waves of golden sunshine’

So, about now you are asking, what’s that got to do with the Monterey Run? Here goes then. A long, long time ago, when some of you were in diapers and others were looking for deferments from the draft, some had a short 8-week visit at Ft Ord for Basic Training. Uncle Sam sent me to the Monterey Peninsula in 1968 as a new 2nd Lieutenant on another mission of sorts. I was accepted into Language School at the Defense Language Institute on the Presidio of Monterey for a one-year Vietnamese language course. So, while you may have been listening to Joan Baez, I was appreciating Cannery Row, the Monterey Folk Festival, Big Sur, Laguna Seca and 17-Mile Drive, listening to California Saga and The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face from Play Misty for Me. I was hooked on Monterey never miss an opportunity to go back for visits as often as possible.

When our club began attending the Monterey Coast Corvette Caravan in the infancy of the event I always marked my calendar to make sure not to miss the run. As the years passes, the annual Monterey event became an every-two-year thing, alternating with the Lake Tahoe Corvette Club show each June.

This year, as in many past years, Monterey was on my calendar as it was with several other members of our club and apparently MANY members of numerous Corvette clubs throughout California and beyond with the event becoming extremely popular. Since the size of the function was limited to 200, due to venue constraints, the sign-ups filled much faster than in years past and our club only snatched up ten spots for five couples. The Woodings, Turkheimer, de Avila, Bachmura, and Meier/Granen couples attended.

Our run started early on Thursday, 5-31, with a meeting at Walmart and then north I-5 to CA-46 and into Paso Robles for lunch at Bubba’s Bad BBQ. (If you haven’t traveled CA-46 recently, it is now a great route with most of the hour ride from Lost Hills to Paso Robles now a 4-lane highway.) Then it was off to our destination at the Embassy Suites in Monterey for the next three nights.

The Monterey club really knows how to put an event together and obviously worked their rear-ends off producing an action-packed event for us all. We began the fun right away with a well-attended Hawaiian Luau in Carmel Valley, complete with 3 hula dancers. Food, spirits and company were all terrific.

The planned events for the weekend included: Monterey Zoo Tour, Monterey Wharf Treasure Hunt, Red Nines Tournament, “Car Races” in the hospitality suite, Show N Shine, Poker Run, an incredible raffle display, 50/50 Reverse Drawing, and a Mystery Gift Drawing, concluding with banquet dinner and awards presentation.

The Monterey club held a drawing from the names of early registrants and the Turkheimers were picked for an upgrade for their lodging with a spectacular bay-view room at the hotel. So, you know where we enjoyed hanging out during the free time we had!

Now is the time for the synopsis of the weekend. The Bachmuras took home one of Chuck August’s great hand-built trophies for their well-shined Stingray, Brian de Avila left some cash at the “car race” table which greatly boosted the other players’ winnings, the Turkheimers were great hosts, and the Woodings were first to sign up for the event for the second consecutive time.

Now, to tie up the loose ends; you were about to ask, “Were the Attls there?” Why, yes, they were! They say “hi” to all and hope to see you at the 40th Anniversary picnic!

And, from the song above, who is still asking, “where is Penny’s Place”? Now, for the rest of the story, you will have to ask Al Jardine, but it’s named after Big Sur Sycamore Canyon resident Penny Vieregge, an EMT, now 89, who founded the local off-cliff rescue unit
