Jaunary 2006

 
Fluid Tech Session at Rod Kunishige’s garage 1107 main St, HB (714) 374-8177 Jan 28 8:30AM.  Bring your 
own oil and antifreeze for your yearly change.  The rack will be opened to speed the changes and make any other 
minor fixes that time will allow.  Please call me so that I may have a count of expected cars.
 
 
San Juan Capistrano CARe show is a must for animal lovers with an interest in a high class car show.  Enter 
your car or just enjoy the sights.  Think of our fury friends as you glance at the listing below.  Participating members 
report that it is truly a worthwhile experience.
 
Super Bowl Party at Dave Rudderow’s home offers an unusual setting.  It’s one that is most appropriate for all 
POCA members.  With 2 consecutive wins to his credit, he hopes to make his party even more successful than last 
year with your participation.  So, come and see what makes both he and his home a perennial winner.
 
Palm Desert Run Judy McCartney directs this weekend event that promises a wild ride and plenty for fun in the 
sun.  Opportunity abounds in the desert during the winter season.  It begins with a gathering at Donut Derelicts then a 
caravan to the Palm Springs Tram for a lofty lunch.  Some will certainly like to explore the many shops in town while 
others may seek an exploration of the nearby air museum where World War II birds rest.
 

TPOC Racing at Willow Springs Rosamond is opened by Jim & Cherie Saxton of West Coast Racing.  An early sign up is encouraged so call them at 626 285-2024 for your entry form and tech sheet.  This is our chance to compete with the Ferraris to show what big HP and torque can do.  Remember that all makes and models are welcome.  Also the Radicals are planning to be there too.  Free instructors are provided to novices; so ladies bring your husband along and pay the $25 fee for him as your second driver.  Where else can you get two days of track time for only $225?

Rod, that’s me, lost the TPOC badges at the swap meet.  So, if you or your associate would like one call me at 714 374-8177or email me at rkunishige@hotmail.com.  The badges are free in order to encourage prospective and old members to bypass that very awkward memory moment.  This is a common affliction of this writer.

 

Please send any changes to Judy McCartney at jpoca2@hotmail.com  ‘cause we’re considering sending a TPOC roster to you.  Check your phone numbers, email address and most importantly your associate’s name.  Oops, it’s not listed but we do want it for our database anyway.  Then tell us what info you’d like to include or exclude in the roster.
