FROM
THE
PRESIDENT
This year is flying by. Our 39th
Convention went very well. The
tribute to Paul Miller and York
County Racing Club on Friday, August 16th was a lot of fun. Our
Cruise Night, which was held Friday evening at the museum, had
123 cars registered. A special
thank you goes to Carol Weaver for Lynn Paxton
all her hard work and planning in
President,
making it a success. We also had
EMMR
71 race cars at Williams Grove for
track time.
Saturday, August 17th, Ray Boissoneau brought
two of Johnny Thomson’s cars for Johnny’s sons,
Dale, David, Darrell, and Dana to run during our
track time. What a great day. Saturday evening, Don
Robinson and all his helpers held an auction at Lincoln Speedway and we had over 40 vintage cars run
track time.
Sunday, August 18th, we held our membership
meeting and elections. We’d like to thank Mike Kuhn,
who will be going off the board for next year, for all
his help and support and welcome our new board
member, Ben Turner. Our Grand Marshalls Bob and
Linda Wolfe were interviewed and thanked for their
years of running our kitchen, and Ken Brenn for his
60 years in motor racing. Track time was rained out
and rescheduled for September 8th, but the “racing”
continued in the museum with our roundtable with
our special guest, Ken Brenn, who entertained us and
answered a lot of questions. He was joined by Leigh
Earnshaw, four-time ARDC Champion, who raced for
Ken.
We have a new long-term water sponsor in Apple
Auto Group. Thanks to the Stewart family for helping
us out, so next time you need a car or auto repair call
Apple.
Our electric situation on the fairgrounds was in
dire need of an upgrade. M. J. Electric, LLC, Mike
Troutman, has come to our rescue. Joe Weaver, who
works for them and has been helping Guy Brown over
the past few years, went to Mike and told him about

I want to thank all the volunteers
Admin. Coordinator.,
EMMR
who have given their time and talents
in the Museum this past year. All the help is greatly
appreciated!
The Museum will be open on Fridays only starting
in November, weather permitting, so please feel free
to sign up for a day here and there. We will also be
open during our 3rd Sunday Roundtables each month
so there is another day to get hours in if needed.
I will be out the month of December getting accustomed to the new little addition to our family. But
have no fear—Lynn will be here if you need anything.
I will be back for the first Thursday night work party
planning meeting on January 2nd, 2014,
Craig Agan, our Development Director, had back
surgery the beginning of October. We want to wish
Craig a speedy recovery and we will see him at the
Spring Open House next year. Craig’s address for

Fund-raising Auctions for EMMR a
Success due to Many Volunteers
Auctions at Eastern Museum of Motor Racing and
at different regional tracks have been a huge success
this past year. There is no way I could do it by myself.
There is a lot of time and energy that goes into it. I
wanted to take a moment and THANK my volunteers
for stepping up and helping me.
I also want to thank all the drivers, mechanics and
car owners from the past and present who have so
graciously donated items and autographs.
A special thank you goes out to Gig Kinard who
enjoyed helping at the auction so much and unfortunately passed away this September.

CORNER
CRAIG’s
The 39th Annual Convention of the EMMR and the
Williams Grove Old-Timers
Craig Agan
was a grand celebration honorDevelopment,
ing
many deserving friends of
EMMR
the Eastern Museum. As you
all know, this year we honored Paul Miller
and the York County Racing Club. The entire
Paul Miller Family and many members of the
York County Racing Club were in attendance to honor
the long-time president who built the club into one of
the finest and largest racing fan clubs in the country.
The special driver honoree for the 2013 Convention was the great Johnny Thomson. On hand to help
honor this Hall of Fame driver were Thomson’s four
sons and two of the cars that carried their father to
victory lane on many occasions, the Sam Traylor big
cars that Thomson drove. The cars were on hand
courtesy of their current owner, collector Ray Boissoneau from New Hampshire. Ray was very generous
and allowed both the #55 and the #9 Sam Traylor cars
to be driven on the Latimore Valley Fairgrounds
track by the Thomson sons. Those in attendance had
an opportunity to see two of the finest championshipwinning, Offy-powered sprint cars in existence today.
Mr. Boissoneau was a generous host and was happy to
explain the impressive history of the cars, which involved builders and mechanics such as Hiram Hillegass, Ken Hickey, and others!
Well-known New Jersey car owner Ken Brenn was
one of our two Grand Marshall’s for the weekend. He
was joined as co-Grand Marshall by our longtime volunteers Bob and Linda Wolfe.
The reasons we are recapping the 39th Annual
Convention are to again thank all of the volunteers
who made possible the wonderful weekend everyone
enjoyed, and, to also let you all know that plans are
already being made for next years’ 40th Annual Convention.
Yes, next year will be an important milestone. It
will be our 40th Annual Convention, originally
started by Jack Gunn, as the Williams Grove OldTimers Convention in 1975. It will also be the 30th
Annual Latimore Valley Fair, held annually since
being resurrected in 1985.
The Latimore Valley Fairgrounds was built and the
first fair held in 1925. That continued until 1940
when the fairgrounds was closed. The fledgling
EMMR group found and purchased the abandoned Latimore Valley Fairgrounds in 1981. In 1983 and 1984
an Open House was held to show the early restoration
progress, but not until 1985 was the Latimore Valley
2
Fair resumed, 60 years after it first started in 1925!
The Eastern Museum of Motor Racing was formed
from the original Williams Grove Old-timers to move
forward and honor all tracks, drivers, owners, mechanics, and everyone else involved in motorsports in
the eastern part of the country. Another milestone
will be the 25th Anniversary of the opening of Phase
One of the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing facility
in 1989! Look at the striking changes the museum
has undergone since that time! Finally, we will join
others in celebrating the 75th Anniversary of
Williams Grove Speedway, opened in 1939.
All of the above milestones will be celebrated at the
40th Annual EMMR/WGOT Convention next August
15–17, 2014. Our honoree for this convention will be
midget driver, daredevil, author, and historian, the
late Crocky Wright. Crocky was special to all who
knew him and was very important as an early preserver of motorsports history. He was a great friend to
the Eastern Museum and we are proud to honor his
life and accomplishments this coming August.
Our Grand Marshalls, who will also be honored for
the 40th, will be the American Racing Drivers Club
(ARDC), Stan Lobitz, and museum volunteers Perry
Trimmer and Judy Freels.
The ARDC was formed in 1939 and has sanctioned
racing for most of the 75 years since then. Stan
Lobitz has been a strong supporter of the ARDC for
many of those years. He has also been a driving force
behind the Eastern Museum’s growth with his leadership of major fund raising efforts, such as the annual
Lobitz Movie Party.
Perry Trimmer and his friend Judy Freels have
been leaders of fairground volunteer efforts for many
years. Our volunteers are indispensable to our operations and we cannot thank them enough!

Lots of Track Time and Cars on Display During the 2013 Season
EMMR’s volunteers had another very successful
year doing vintage car exhibitions at our own Latimore Valley Fairgrounds along with Williams Grove;
Port Royal; Winchester, Va.; Hagerstown, Md.; Bedford; Shippensburg; Lincoln; and Susquehanna
Speedways.
A great turnout of 70 cars were on exhibition during our Convention weekend in August. We had nine
“new” cars attend this year, so we welcome those
drivers’ participation in EMMR’s “living history”
events.
EMMR also did a “photo opportunity” night each
month at Williams Grove, plus the management of
the Grove donated half of the 50/50 money to EMMR
and we thank them for that.

PRESIDENT

A packed evening of seven regular events were on the
schedule, yet EMMR's cars enjoyed two classes of track
time with twenty green laps apiece! EMMR member’s cars
even were able to pre-heat their engines on the track.
Todd Fisher, co-owner of Susquehanna Speedway,
deserves the credit for managing to fit all the events into
an amazing evening. The Sprint Car class was spiritedly
contested frequently with a gaggle of five to eight cars.

Thursday Night Work Parties
begin in January
It will soon be winter and the local racing season
and all the fun events at EMMR and Latimore Valley
Fairgrounds are just
a warm memory on a
cold night. But you
don’t have to hibernate all winter—the Museum uses the downtime to
create new exhibits and maintain the museum in topnotch condition for the next season. Every Thursday
evening at 6 pm from January through the Spring
Opening, a hearty band of volunteers gather at EMMR
for some projects, maintenance, and always some
laughs. So don’t forget about the Museum just because it is winter—come out and join other volunteers to keep this very special museum as one of the
premier motorsports museums in United States.
Thursday Night Work Parties will kick off on
January 2nd, 2014 with a planning meeting.
Come January 9th with your sleeves rolled
up and ready to get to work. The scheduled
time is 6 to 9 pm, but any amount of time
you can spare is always appreciated.
