Club Founder Bill Vaughn is pictured here in his 23T that was built in 1962. After many engine combinations, it now sports a 455 Buick with a 400 Turbo as well as a slightly older driver

Mike (Jolly) Johnson, an original member of the club owns this 36 Pontiac. It has many nice features that many over look including a driver who loves ice cream

 

neill rinker

Neill Rinker, also an original member owns this beauty. Neill is a hell of a fabricator and is currently constructing an all tube framed Trac T with a Quad 4 engine.

 

This 39 Chevy is owned by another original member, John Wood. Not only is it bright during the day but it throws nice flames at night. John does top quality wood work.
