The 40th Annual EMMR/WGOT Convention has come and
gone and we look back on the great weekend we had.
It started Friday August 15 at the Museum when we honored ARDC’s 75th Years of Racing and Williams Grove Speedway with a roundtable featuring Ray Bull, six-time ARDC
Champion. Up next was Jim Gerber son of John Gerber who
came from Davenport, Iowa.
The Friday evening Cruise-In on the lawn in front of the
museum had a great turnout with 130 cars: classics, hot rods,
muscle cars, trucks, etc. You can see pictures and read more
about the Cruise-in on page 5.
Also on Friday nite roughly 41 race cars belonging to
EMMR members traveled to Williams Grove Speedway to help
them celebrate the 75th year of racing at “the Grove.”
After a busy Friday evening, the Convention’s events continued with Saturday’s track time from noon to 3 p.m. at Latimore Valley Fairgrounds— it went off without a hitch. Track
time at EMMR’s own dirt track allows museum members the
rare opportunity to run their vintage and antique race cars on
an historic dirt track. In addition, visitors enjoy a rare look at
the cars in running condition, but not actually “racing.”
There was a good turn out Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway where EMMR members had static displays of their race
cars, plus track time. EMMR also had a good auction making
about $1,300.
Sunday started out cold, damp, and rainy but shortly after
the Membership Meeting the rain stopped and the cars that
stuck around at Latimore Valley Racetrack had some really
good track time from 1 to 4 p.m. The track time held several
times per year truly makes EMMR a living history museum.
There were plenty of laughs coming from the Museum that
afternoon during Stan Lobitz Roast. Everyone there seemed to

enjoy themselves. You just never know what to expect
when you get Lynn and Stan together—but there is sure to
be lots of funny stories and good-natured teasing.
We would like to thank all our volunteers that helped
get the Museum, Fairgrounds and Track ready for this
weekend! We also want to thank everyone who helped behind the scenes. Without all the help this weekend would
not have been such a great success.

CRUISE-IN
at the 40th
EMMR Convention
We had perfect weather and a great turn out for
our “Cruise-In” on Friday night August 15 during the
40th annual EMMR/WGOT Convention. There were
over 130 cars that received goody bags with lots of
items donated by local and national business.
Thanks again to Ed Frock from Kelly’s Trucking
for sponsoring our plaques; Statler’s Upholstery and
Parcel Plus in Hanover, for sponsoring our flyers. We
had quite a few cash donations to help with our expenses: Williams Grove Speedway for food donations
– and if you missed “Cookie’s Chicken Corn Soup,”
that was your fault (all ingredients were donated
too!). Our volunteers collected quite a selection of

Drag Racing Exhibit News
Our Second Toy Show should be history by the
time you read this column. We hope for good weather
and a nice turnout of support.
On Saturday, December 6th at the Holiday Open
House we will be hosting a roundtable discussion of
the 50th Anniversary of the “Woodstock of Drag Racing” which occurred at York US 30 Dragway during
the presentation of the 1st Super Stock Nationals
event which turned out to be the largest one day drag
racing event in the history of the sport. A mark that
still stands today.
Several Legends of Drag Racing will participate
with us which will include Bob Harrop of Laurel
Spring, New Jersey who was the Unlimited Class Winner of the event. A subsequent celebration of the 50th
Anniversary will be held at the York Reunion on July
10–11th at the York Expo Center, York Fairgrounds
which will also present a Salute to the Orphans: Plymouth, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Mercury, and AMC. The
departed marques.
A whole new display of vehicles is planned for the
drag racing display at EMMR for 2015 which will include the ’65 altered wheelbase “Honker” of Bud
Faubel, and the Roger Sinistri and Larry Lombardo
“Buckshot” Corvette to name two.
We will be adding two more Legends to our case
displays which will include the dedication of the Sox
& Martin race team and one for Malcolm Durham. A
Stahl headers display will also be included with our
new items.
We are encouraging one and all to come out and
support the roundtable discussion on Dec. 6th and
share the many momentous events that occurred during the historic event that is still the talk of the drag
racing world after fifty years. We will also recognize
the 50th birthday of the Pontiac GTO as well. Join us
for the many great memories.

2015 will mark the 50th Anniversary of the “Woodstock
of Drag Racing” which occurred August 7, 1965 at York
US 30 Dragway and is heralded as The Largest One-day
Event in the History of Drag Racing. Kicking off the
celebration will be a roundtable discussion on Saturday,
December 6th at EMMR’s Holiday Open House.
The cover story for the November 1965
issue of Super Stock & Drag Illustrated magazine featured
great photos from “1965 Super Stock Magazine Nationals”
which was held at the York US 30 Dragway. The Roundtable on
December 6th will feature this historic event that is still the
talk of the drag racing world. The dragway, located west of
York in York County, Penna., closed in 1979, but is now
remembered yearly as part of “Muscle Car Madness.” Drag
Racers now have a permanent exhibit at EMMR.
TOY & RACING MEMORABILIA SHOW
The second annual show was held on Saturday September 21 on
a beautiful sunny day. Booths were set up on the grassy lawn in
front of the museum and free admission allowed visitors to

search for that special toy or racing memorabilia. Thanks go to
Darwin Doll for helping to coordinate this event which adds
even more variety to the numerous events at EMMR.

FROM
THE
PRESIDENT
From Lynn Paxton
When I attended the ground
breaking ceremonies at EMMR
many years ago, never in my wildest
dream did I think I may be an
EMMR officer some day!
So let me introduce myself: I was
born and raised in Port Royal
Penna. so when my father was a meNancy Miller
chanic for Boyd Groninger, mom
President,
and I sat in the same seat year after
EMMR
year on the old grandstand.
In the 1980s and 1990s I was an EMT for Silver
Spring Ambulance and we served Silver Spring
Speedway and that is how I became aquainted with
Alan Kreitzer and Gary Wolford. I was also Chief of
the Ambulance Company,
We had a vintage car so after several years Joe
Heisler asked me to help with coordinating the cars
as EMMR members exhibited their cars at Williams
Grove, Port Royal and Shippensburg Speedways. I
also had more time to commit to the museum volunteer staff. So in advance I want to thank all the volunteers for their work in the upcoming year.
My husband John and I have been married for 44
years and he brought six children with him to gather
with my two and we had a lively household! We now
have seventeen grand children and twenty eight great
grandchildren. I am retired from the Kinney shoe
Corp.
I want to thank Rick Mandelson as it was his idea
that I consider volunteering for the office of President
of EMMR. I will need the help of Lynn Paxton and
Amanda Eshenour to transition into this office and I
will serve it to the best of my ability.
— Nancy Miller hipgrandma@aol.com
First I want to introduce EMMR’s first woman
President, Nancy Miller. Those of you that run or
show cars at the various race tracks know Nancy. She
always has a smile and is willing to help with any
problems, and now she is going to use those skills to
run EMMR. We all must support her and help in any
way we can.
My job will be curator of EMMR along with helping
Nancy get acquainted with her new position. I’m very
confident she will do an excellent job.
Our 40th EMMR Convention was a great success. I
want to thank all the volunteers that worked hard to
make it so. We had a great turn out for Cruise-in and
EMMR members’ race car participation was good at
Williams Grove, Lincoln, and Latimore.
It was great to have Jim Gerber and his friend
Duke in from Davenport, Iowa and Billy Engelhart
from Wisconsin. It’s always good to see Harry Eckert,
his wife, and son…and we can’t forget our Aussie
friend, John Loxton from Australia.
Our friend, Gary Wolford, is under the weather,
but he has issued a challenge to all of us to pay off
the bank this year. You know Gary always gets his
way. Look for more info in this newsletter
Our upcoming events are:
• October 19th: Roundtable - Lost Racetracks with
Steve Bubb
• November 9th: Lobitz’s 31st Movie Party & Auction
• November 16th: Roundtable: AMF Snowmobile
Racing Team Reunion
• December 6th & 7th: Christmas Open House
• December 21st: Round Table – LeRoy Felty
Don’t forget our Thursday night work parties starting after the 1st of the year – 6-9 p.m.
Thanks for all your help while I was President.

the Museum
many more we can bring on in 2015.
There are still dates available to be filled from now
until the Spring Open House. It’s a great way to get
those hours in if you are part of the recreation area.
We will be open again on Fridays starting in November weather permitting, and all day the 3rd Sunday of
each month for our Roundtables. Call, email
admin@emmr.org or just stop in.
Don’t forget to stop by the Gift Shop during the
Holiday Open House and purchase your holiday gifts.
As a way of saying Thank You for all the support over
the years, the Board of Directors has decided to offer
members 10% off purchases.

Gettysburg Region
AACA News
EMMR is the home of Gettysburg Region AACA and we are
thrilled to be a part of the Museum. It is
wonderful to have a place to hold our annual car show and board meetings. The display area
within the Museum lets us promote the region and
the antique car hobby. The Gettysburg Region and its
membership help support and volunteer in the Museum and the Latimore Valley Fairgrounds. More history on the Gettysburg Region and our activities will
follow in upcoming issues of this newsletter.
The grandfather of the antique automobile events
is the Annual AACA National Fall Meet in Hershey,
PA. This event is held on the second full week in October with thousands of flea market vendors and a
judged car show on Saturday. More than 1,200 cars
are on display for everyone to enjoy. Friday is the day
for the race car conditioning run held in the stadium
where auto racing was held years ago. Best of all, this
event is free to everyone except for the parking fees. I
know this event will be history as you read this article

The upcoming events for The Gettysburg Region will be the election

Annual Christmas party that is very festive
with great fellowship.
February will bring the AACA Annual Meeting
held in Philadelphia, PA. This yearly event is packed
with a trade show, seminars pertaining to the Antique
car hobby, the installation of the national officers, the
annual meeting, the awards banquet and great fellowship.
If the winter months get you down, I recommend
you visit the AACA Museum in Hershey. If you have
been there before, it is time you revisit as there is a
great new display. The Tucker automobile display
opened October 8th with three Tucker autos on display along with the history and many artifacts of the
Tucker Automobile Corporation.
