BAY AREA ROADSTERS The Bay Area Roadsters was officially formed in 1959 by founder Don Brusseau and four other members. From humble beginning the Club has progressed to the present where the maximum membership of 25 has remained full for over the past 12 years. The Club currently has 12 members with 25 years or more, which qualifies them as Lifetime members of this Club. There are also 13 more members with 12 or more years of active membership in this Club. The Bay Area Roadsters and the LA Roadsters co-founded the Roadster Roundup which has continued on, and is now halfway through it's fourth decade. This invitational only Event is considered by many as the Grand Daddy of modern day Rod Runs. The B.A.R. as it is commonly known, was very instrumental in helping to keep the Street Rodding alive during the Muscle-Car era of the 60's and 70's. The Club has celebrated it's 50th Anniversary during 2009 with several events spaced throughout the Year. Which included a Special display of the Members Roadsters at the Grand National Roadster show in Pomona in January. Our Members celebrated this mile stone of 50 Years with a Special Party at the home of Dennis and Kathy Varni. The Club encourages Street Rod use. Members are required to attend monthly meetings and drive their roadsters on several weekend Club Runs. "NO SHOW QUEENS ALLOWED" Although most members' roadsters have been shown at most of the major car shows and have done their share of winning (Several America's Most Beautiful Roadster winners) all are driven regularly and for long distances. Trips to other Street Rod Events across the United States are common place for many. All roadsters are inspected regularly for safety and appearance. This year one of the Members Dave Shaub has just completed an AMAZING TASK, driving his 32 Roadster through 49 States in less than Nine Days! This was a charity drive benefiting the children and families at the Stanford Ronald McDonald House. Dave drove 9856 miles and so far has raised over $100,000, with more donations and pledges still coming in. For the full story check out Dave's Web Site @ www.49IN9.Com.
