Read moreOur first run was held in mid April, and hosted by Woody Johnson. We started out the day with a brunch at Woody's home before taking a ride through the woods and over the Santa Cruz Mountains. Although it rained most of the day, we all had a great time and saw a lot of beautiful countryside. In the late afternoon, we returned to the Los Gatos area and had a great dinner. After spending the night we headed home on Sunday.

The ideal locations are not to far away so that we can drive our hotrods and enjoy the scenery within one day. We also look for places where the gals can enjoy themselves while we are holding our meeting (like SHOPPING)>>

The Clubs activities started out with a BBQ at the Home of Dennis Varni, on the first Saturday in April. This is always a special treat, Dennis has put together a large collection of automotive memorabilia, and he always has some project in process we can check out.
Read moreThe first activity of the year was our 40 Year Reunion held at the Blackhawk Auto Museum in Danville. Over 75 past members and their wives attended the reunion to talk about the good old days and meet the members who over the past forty years have carried on the Roadster tradition. The reunion was a first class event which was cratered by Scotts of Walnut Creek with live music for a night of dancing. If you haven't had a chance to visit the Blackhawk Auto Museum, you should take the time. It is a great facility and a one-of-a- kind collection right here in the Bay Area.
Read moreOur first Run of the year was in April. We met in Los Gatos at a member’s home. From there we drove through Saratoga to Half Moon Bay. The owner of the Half Moon Bay Bakery and his friends prepared a wonderful BBQ lunch for us. After lunch, we wandered through the shops in town until it started to rain. Before it started to rain any harder we loaded up the roadsters and continued on our trip down Highway 1 to Santa Cruz. We checked into the hotel just in time for cocktails before dinner. Dinner was just a short walk to the Wharf. Read more
