Hey folks, I am looking for members of the Perris Undertaker's car club of Perris CA from the mid to late sixties. My father and uncle were both members of the club from about 1965-69 before being drafted and I am looking for any other memebers that may still have their club plaque as well as any who remember details of the club car raced around so Cal. Thanks.
There's a guy who works in my building from Perris.He lived there all his life.When I see him I'll ask him if he knows anything about the Undertakers.
I just got through talking to my friend Tim and he says he new all of the Undertakers.Some of the names he mentioned were Gary Raymond,Tom Parker and **** Walker.He mentioned a guy named Bruce that has a yellow C-Cab and it has the Undertakers car plaque on it.He was curious about your dad & uncle's names,He probably knew them too! He was asked to join them but he's not into clubs.
Hey, thanks! Dads name is Phil Williams and my uncles name is Dave Connal. They were both cl*** of 66 at Perris High school.
You should see Perris High now...I remember nothing but fields and no signals. Except the one that crossed 215 up from the high school. You had to make it across a set of tracks and a highway. Scary in the fog.
I just got off the phone with my friend Tim and he told me that he humg around the Undertakers from 1959-63 and that Phil Williams & David Connal don't ring a bell.He did tell me he remembers a William's family and a girl named Esther from Nuevo that had a trucking company that hauled potato's.Tim has breakfest every Thursday with an original memmber at Jenny's Cafe in Perris and he will ask him.
Yeah same family, Esther, is dads older sister. I am pretty sure **** Walker had an Anglia with a SBC in it. Still trying to track down some more information on other members. Do you think Tim may know how to get in touch with Bruce, I would like to see if I can get a tracing of the plaque to have a couple made for my dad and uncle.
Have you thought about just asking Dennis O'Brien from O'Brien's Truckers if he has the plaque? he has 1000's of them. Not saying you don't want to establish contact, but if Dennis has an original plaque it will be easy to get one, or two.
Tim told me he's going to try & get Bruce Coopers & Tom Parkers e-mal.He told me **** Walker just recently got killed in an off roading accident.He told me **** Walker used to race a little yellow coupe.As soon as I hear anything else I'll let you Kknow.
I just pm'd you an e-mail for a guy named Tim Scott, he is a devout Undertaker and knows a lot of history.I'm still waiting for the other e-mails.

When I first saw the heading I thought "what a strange place to be looking for a funeral home !! " Don
Dennis, Looks like Tim still has his plaque from the late 50's I am hoping to get a tracing, picture of photocopy of it to have it reproduced. My dad and uncle will be very surprised if it can be pulled off.
Yeah, I did e-mail Tim and he got right back to me which was very cool. I did get Bruce's contact information and am looking forward to getting in touch with him. Another great H.A.M.B success story, thanks again! I am pretty sure my dad still has his club shirt and my uncle his club jacket and a couple other small items. I am working on getting my hands on them.
My dad (**** Walker) was able to get a new plaque not long ago and I noticed my uncle has one on his car. You have probably already got this figured out, but if not let me know. Here is link to a picture of my dad's car: http://public.fotki.com/VincePutt/drag_racing/g***ers/angliag***ers/walkersmithangliag***er.html Steve Walker
I was a member in the early 60s. Had a 57 Chevy during that time. I had the club s****book for years. Ralph Tocco has it now.
I went to school with both. Didn't Dave have a turquoise and white 56 Nomad that got hit broadside after a drag race up by Cliff Fogler's house?
