The Living Legends of Auto Racing will hold their 20th annual beachside parade on Tuesday, February 21, 2012. The parade will stage as usual at the Drive-in Church located at 3140 S. Atlantic Avenue (A-1-A), Daytona Beach Shores, at 9am. Parade vehicles will then parade north A-1-A to Botefur Ave.and return to the Drive-in Church for display.
This year we have decided to move the date up to coincide with Daytona speed weeks at the request of many 50s and 60s racing folks that come to Florida then and have wanted to attend the CLR south event in the past. This Wed. date allows a quick trip over on I-4 for 11-3 or so and then back to the Daytona area for Volusia County races in the evening. Cuba Lake Raceway south, Florida luncheon for all stock car, midget and sprint drivers, mechanics, car owners, track personnel and fans that were involved in and enjoyed racing in WNY, Ontario and NWPA during the 40s, 5Os and 60s and their companion(s). A special invite is also open to any 40s, 50s and 60s racing drivers and fans from around the Country or Province that will be on vacation or are full time or part time residents here in Florida too. Any guests that would enjoy our event are also welcome to attend with you. Note: CLR north luncheon/reunion our 10th anniversary annual, the big one(200 plus), will be at Moonwinks in Cuba, NY again this year on July 25th 2012. When: February 22nd, 2012 (wed) Where: Golden Corral restaurant, Brandon FL, exit 257 off I-75 at sr 60. Go east on sr 60 after exiting I-75 from the north or south about 1/2 mile and make right turn(south) on S. Lakewood. It is well marked with overhead sign at light. Go south on Lakewood for three lights then watch for Golden Corral on left between Applebees and Carrabbas. Actual address is 815 Providence Rd. Plenty of parking room. Best to follow these instructions as new roads in area will mess up GPS devices. Time: Registration starts at 11:00 am with lunch starting about noon or whenever everyone is registered and seated for the great buffet luncheon in our private room. Golden Corral restaurants are noted for their great buffets, if you haven't been at one, I guarantee no one will leave hungry. Luncheon will be "Dutch treat" for all attending and a RSVP is required along with a payment of $11.00 for each person attending (covers everything, food, drink, tax and tip). I must receive your RSVP and payment by February 13th 2012 at the latest as no day of luncheon payments will be allowed. When you arrive at restaurant go through the line and tell cashier you are with the Cuba Lake Raceway group(don't pay any money) and you will be directed to the left and will see our room on the far end to the rear. We have our own waitress for the day and she or he will fix you up with a soda(pop for us northeners) or a coffee as soon as you arrive. We will all hit the chow lines about noon after everyone has arrived. Program: This year I have arranged for an extreamly interesting speaker that worked in engineering at the GM proving grounds in Detroit in 1968. His work was in the auto safety division and some of the stories he shared with me recently had me on the edge of my seat. Many of the stories you will hear tie directly to racing at the time and from previous years. Our speaker will entertain questions after his very educational talk that I know everyone in attendance will enjoy. The luncheon will end about 3pm so everyone can return home during daylight hours or get to the east coast for races at Volusia in the evening or just south of our event the 360 sprints are running at East Bay Raceway Park that evening too.(www.eastbayracewaypark.com ) The banquet room we will be using can only handle 50 people. I suggest you send your names and money as soon as you get this notice as this annual event is gaining in popularity and very well may sell out again this year. Last year we did max. out and I had to turn 10 folks down that sent their RSVP in late. Dress code is casual. RSVP: Send payment, $11.00 per person, along with your name and each companion(s) name to: Ford Easton, 5200 28th St. N. # 651, St. Petersburg, FL 33714. Make check or M.O. payable to: Ford Easton. If you wish to contact me phone is 727-522-4042 and e-mail is fjeaston@aol.com. Tickets will not be sent to you as your name and those attending with you must be on the master list at registration to gain entry to the luncheon in our private room at the restaurant. The $11.00 per person includes the great buffet, coffee, hot tea, iced tea and pop, free refills, tax and gratuity. Remember deadline for me to receive your RSVP and payment in the mail is February 13th 2012.
