Notes from the Car Club Association Meeting held July 12th, by Aric Penfield CNYCCA:

*Five members of the Tappet Twirlers attended the Central Car Club Association meeting July 7th at Barbegallo's in Syracuse: Nick Lombardo, Mike Szaraz, Larry Natarelli, Dick Bronson and Jim Rasmussen.
*The July 10, 2007 meeting of the Central New York Car Club Association was called to order at 7:08 PM by the President, Dennis Connor.
*Thursday night of the Syracuse Nationals will be the Cruise of the Onondaga Lake Parkway from 7-9. Entrance will be on the Park Street end only and speed will be in the 17-20 mph range. Open headers will be allowed. Cars must show proof of registration to the Nationals either by the sticker on the car or your confirmation letter. Some persons will be needed on the Parkway as security and six will be needed in the Park's parking lots near the Salt Museum. Call Dennis to volunteer.
*Please have your club rep call Dennis at 469-0913 to make sure you are doing the same job at the Nationals as before or if you would like a different job. Changes include elimination of the paid guards at gates 10 and 11 so more staff will be needed there.
*To display in the Cargill Building please call Terri Reardon at 676-2815. They need the names and how many cars from any club to plan the layout. Remember that cars newer than the event cut off year must be displayed in the Cargill Building and are only allowed on the grounds as members of an Association club. Terri says they can use some more workers so please call Dennis to arrange your help.
*Thursday of the Nat's includes the Poker Run with sign up at the hotel from 8-12. The run ends at 5 PM with 7 stops and 58 miles. Also Thursday is the picnic at Oneida Shores County Park. Admission is free but again you need your letter or car sticker. The time is 11-3.
*The stickers will be outside stickers again and must be affixed to your car. If you want to get in the Cargill building you will need a Cargill sticker. See the above information on that topic.
*Remember that the Auction by Tri State Auction is separate from the Nationals but held there. Auction cars without a Nationals sticker must go back to the auction parking area.
*Prison City Ramblers requested that the golf cart issued to them could be controlled by them as it is there to allow the car corral and flea market to remain organized. Special stickers are issued for the car corral. Some try to park there with a regular sticker. *The car corral sticker costs more and those without need to move or pay. A formal plan for this action needs to be put in place.
*Aaron Reed of the Poor Boys spoke on the grandstand events at the Nationals including Friday's Stunt Show, Saturdays Demo Derby, Sunday's Auto Soccer and the Burnout contests each day. The Auto Soccer is a grudge match of sorts between Massachusetts guys and New York guys. Older vehicles are needed as donations for that particular event. Prizes are involved in both the Auto Soccer and Burn out contests.

A car ad for a Mustang "back in the day would have read like this:
Mustang Alley: Unexpected Price! $2,368!!! This low price includes such a generous helping of basic equipment that many people will find nearly all they could ask for in the standard Mustang. Small wonder, because Mustang is so complete, it includes many items which come on other cars only at extra cost- or not at all!

The Cadillac Ranch, located along the tatters of historic Route 66, was built in 1974, brainchild of Stanley Marsh III, the helium millionaire who owns the dusty wheat field where it stands. Marsh and The Ant Farm, a San Francisco art collective, assembled used Cadillacs representing the "Golden Age" of American Automobiles (1949 through 1963). The ten graffiti-covered cars are half-buried, nose-down, facing west "at the same angle as the Cheops' pyramids."

In 1997, development creep forced Marsh to move the entire assemblage about two miles further west. The line of cars is far enough out in a field to allow for suitably bleak photography. The distance from any authority also encourages ever-mutating layers of painted graffiti, which Marsh doesn't seem to mind. The Cadillac Ranch influenced subsequent artistic works wrought in Detroit metal. Witness Alliance, NE's over-the-top Carhenge and Berwyn, IL's Cars-on-a-Spike.
