Picture of my first car. It was a great car. I paid $45.00 for it. This was in 1964. Kaiser Frazer Manhattan. Leather interior, 6 cylinder Continental flat head with a three speed with overdrive.





we just can't seem to shake winter. Cold winds blew this morning as I drove down to Goldsby at sunrise to coffee call.
The recent tornado did quite a number of some of the hangars (as well as the planes inside).
Our hosts, Larry and Jan Hinton had their plane destroyed as did a number of others. But they were there and getting ready to serve the breakfast buffet.
Proceeds from the buffet go to support Oklahoma Youth Aviation, and once again this Saturday their efforts paid off as they donated a check for $500 to the Blanchard school program. The photo is to the right between the scenes of hangar destruction....
Other shots show Ken and other members going through the buffet line and also the members seated in the dining room enjoying breakfast.
Sam managed to bring in a couple of dozen donuts, which gave us a breakfast dessert option we had not thought of.
It was good to see long time member Dennis Glover, who we have not seen in a bit, to catch-up.
Next Saturday we will be at MIDWAY GROCERY for coffee call, and then those who are going to the Norman North car show at Ferguson Automotive will leave by about 9am. See you there. Drive something that doesn't require a key fob!







Lots of different options in the bed to adapt to a variety of uses. The maximum speed for this mighty 220 cc engine is about 40 mph, the same as my 1926 Model T pickup and a little slower than my mighty '69 Fiat 500.
They can all make it to the finish line at thunder Valley but people may get boarded watching them putter along. What a fun new car to add to all of our other fun cars! Welcome Kevin! Dave





Also we post two thank you notes, from our charities, the first from the Veteran Recreation Fund and the second one a bit tardy on my part, from Food and Shelter, thanking us for this past year's car show contribution of about $7,100. Better late than never. We also got a note from Larry Hinton, who does the breakfast buffet for us in Goldsby, thanking us for the money we donated last week to their Oklahoma Youth Aviation program. We also reached our goal of sponsorship of the newly formed Philip Scott/CRC bike team. The $300 the club raised will go to JD McCarty Center. The cRc bike team will ride in the Norman Conquest bike ride for charity on July 8th.
T-shirt orders are going in this weekend. We will post the delivery date as soon as we get one. Thanks to Sam, Nick, and Nikki for making this happen and so smoothly...


THE CRC has joined the Oklahoma Hot Rod Association as 2023 members.
Photos from the Drumright car show this weekend, an indoor show (BELOW). There is a problem with our Food and Shelter Flyer which we are a correcting. The times of various show events are a bit off and the contacts may not be right. The dates, venue and classes of the show are correct. We will replace it on both our Facebook page and club calendar with a revised one. Thank you.
Congratulations to Nikki Patterson who was our 50/50 pot winner with $135.....JD McCarty and Oklahoma Youth Aviation were also winners in splitting the club's part of the pot.

Posted Saturday morning, February 11, 2023 - a cold but clear morning today as we gathered at BOOMERANG on PORTER for coffee and conversation.
The staff of Boomerang ALWAYS does a great job for us. Today, the club bought 3 Norman Police Officers breakfast, to say "THANK YOU" for the work they do to keep us all safe. They seemed to genuinely appreciate the gesture.
After Boomerang, a bunch of us drove over to Crest for the monthly coffee and cars drive-in. Only the hardy came this morning. The second youtube video gives you the idea.
There was a 1971 Datsun 240Z in the lot today. A groundbreaking car for Nissan in the early 1970's, but they had rust issues so you rarely see one these days. They are still however a VERY STYLISH VEHICLE.
LOST IN THE '50s TONIGHT? We don't blame you, so James Hileman has provided
this great look-back at the cars and of quieter times. Click, Relax, and Enjoy!


ultra-high-quality restoration of Pierce-Arrows (his father was a Pierce Arrow dealer). I have seen classic Auburns and other delightful throwback classics in his shop. His current project is a 1930 Model A Ford. We can't wait to see it.
