    Hey Gang!

    I remember Xydias and Batchelor and maybe Mark Smith, but am at a loss as to others. Anybody remember any others? I was thinking Don Waite but then found he was in the Road Runners.
    Used to go to some of their meetings as a guest. Saw my first "stag" reel at one of them. Neat times, neat people.
    Any help here?

    Man what a group! Gene Winfield, Racer Brown, Alex Xydias, don't forger that Doane Spence was a Glendale guy as was Barney Navarro, Kong Jackson, Wayne Mfg (12 port heads), the Bistagne Bros an Kurtis Kraft... No wonder Bob's (the original) was so much fun back then

    My father, Harry Warner - Wayner 12 port heads, was a member of the Pasadena Roadster Club. I was a Sidewinder from '71 to '09, now a Miler.

    Does anyone know if a Richard "Dick" Thomas was a member in '47? He would have been in the club just after the war. He lived on Bywood Drive in Glendale.
     
  6. My father Charles " Kong" Jackson was also a member of the Sidewinders. I think he was one of the charter members.
