On Behalf of the Canyon Lake Car Show Committee, we'd like to thank all registrants, participants and attendees for making the 4th annual Car Show a incredible success.
Considering the this home grown show is invitation only in a private community run by a small Car Club, we really out did ourselves.
I was honored to receive so many positive comments from our guests. As I walked the show ease dropping on our spectators, I heard such
awesome comments which reminded me of how proud I am to be working with so many great people.
With your contributions and hard work we helped the Progeria Research Foundation raise over $7100 this year.
There are too many people to list but here are a few that made things happen; Kathie Barnes, Joe and Anne Landin, Howard and Kathie Smith, Rich Del Nostro, Bob and Kathie Earleywine, Terry, Sam, Chip, Brock and Katie Foose. The Sheriff Explores, exhibiting vendors, all 42 sponsors and Bob Earleywine Performance.
Here’s a link to a video made by Randy Roberts of Sunset Properties. GREAT VIDEO !
Extra T-shirts : The shirts are owned by the POA. We'll get an answer for how to purchase.
Posters : The real show posters are SOLD OUT. We have about 50 "draft" posters that will be handed out at the Club breakfast and other events.
Anthony Ganci is sorting thru the 1,000s of pictures and will soon be posting for your review.

Hans wins BIG at the Hooters show
Club member Hans Wegg attended the Hooter's car show and WON with his super-black GTO. Here's proof:
If you look hard you can see Han's GTO. It's there, look hard.
If Hans is showing his Hooters then I will too.
DC POWER !
Most of you know that I started as a nuclear electrician, moved on to a power plant high voltage electrician and now manager power plants. I also had the honor being the Battery Petty Officer of maintaining all 126 lead acid batteries on board the USS Guardfish, a fast attack nuclear submarine. Fast forward to the last few years here in Canyon Lake. I've had the honor to meet our resident drag racing record holder Bob Earleywine and a few other drag racing fanatics (Randy Haapala, Jim Kipp and others) who have turned me on to the sport. Put these two things together (batteries and drag racing) and you get this guy.... check out the video and you'll see what I mean. (thanks Rett for the fascinating video).
Obviously part of drag racing is the thundering mega horse power of the Top Fuels and Funny Cars but it's interesting to see the torque these little DC motors can put out. Just watch and see....
Cruisin's Grand CLCC Night !
Canyon Lake Car Club was the headliner at the September 4th Escondido Cruisn' Grand cruise night.
The classic car caravan left the Canyon Lake Market Place around 3:30pm to start the 40 mile drive to Grand Street in Northern San Diego County. The group was directed to our featured parking spots on Broadway near the center of the action. The master of ceremonies repeated throughout the night "Let's give special thanks to the Canyon Lake Car Club for being the featured club of the night".
Check out some pictures I took. LINK
Take me Back to Rock and Roll
When did Rock'n Roll start?
Some people think it started in 1953 with Ike Turner's "My Rocket 88," or Big Joe Turner with "Honey, Hush" in 1953, or "Shake, Rattle and Roll" 1954. Personally, I believe it started with the premiere of the movie Blackboard Jungle in theaters across the country, in 1955. This movie featured the song "Rock Around the Clock" by "Bill Haley and his Comets," which helped to propell Rock and Roll as a musical genre. It was reported that teenagers jumped from their seats to dance to the song.
Here are some little videos that some of you ol' timers might enjoy.

Video2: Growing Up in the Fifties
Video3: Take Me Back to the Fifties
Video4: Do You Remeber These
