FROM
THE
PRESIDENT
Hello Members. First I want to
thank all of you that helped me turn
“70” on January 19th. The roast
was a good one but I ran out of time
for all my rebuttals. Don’t worry…I
don’t get mad…I get even.
Our Thursday night work crew
is hard at work cleaning and making improvements to our museum. Lynn Paxton
President,
We will be engraving our walls this
EMMR
winter, so if you bought a block
come to the Open House April 5th & 6th to take a
look at your contribution and reunite with friends.
The gray 2014 schedule was changed as follows:
On March 16th our roundtable will be on the history
of Late Model racing in our area. We would like to invite all drivers, owners, mechanics, and fans to this
event. The time of our roundtables is 1 to 3 p.m.
Last year was a great year for our organization.
Our last events, the Lobitz Movie Party and the Fred
Rahmer Roast was well attended and a lot of fun.
Our Spring Open House on Saturday, April 5th
will feature Memories of Bud Faubel and a roundtable from 1 to 3 p.m. On Sunday, April 6th, the
roundtable will be with Keith Kauffman.
This year will be celebrating our 40th Annual
EMMR/WGOT Convention. We will be honoring the
A.R.D.C. Organization, Williams Grove Speedway 75
years of Racing, and Crocky Wright. Our Grand Marshalls this year are: Stan Lobitz, Perry Trimmer, and
Judy Freels.
That’s all for now. See you at the museum, fairground or at one of our events throughout the year.
—Lynn Paxton

Racing Around
the Museum
I wanted to take a minute and
thank ALL the volunteers that helped
me last year. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Amanda
You are very important to the MuChmiola-Eshenour
seum.
Admin. Coordinator.,
EMMR
I am back
in full swing after being out
on maternity leave. Jonathan
is growing like a weed and
each day is full of surprises.
If you were here for Lynn’s
Roast you got to meet him.
Jonathan will be here
for one of the days during
the Spring Open House on
April 5 and 6. Amber loves
being a big sister and is always happy to help.
I am happy to report that
we welcomed five new volunteers last year to the Museum!
We are always looking for
more help.
There will be a volunteer training on Sunday,
March 16th from 10 AM to 12 PM with lunch provided
for anyone who would like to learn about the Museum
or brush up on your knowledge if it’s been a while
since you volunteered. It does not take a lot of training. A Friday here or Sunday there is all I am asking
for. I am also looking for some people who would like
to learn the computer in the Gift Shop. It is very simple and easy to learn.
The Museum will be open from April 4th to October
26th from 10 AM to 4 PM every Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday. So please, look at your calendar and see if you
can join us for 6 hours a month. Just call me at the
Museum 717-528-8279 or email admin@emmr.org.

That means the EMMR Spring
Open House is just around the corner. I can’t
wait to see you there on April 5 & 6.
My season was cut short last year when
an accident caused me to need spinal surgery. Missing
my annual trek to the National Open, Hershey, and
the EMMR Swap Meet and Car Corral left me extremely disappointed. But I was thrilled when I heard
Fred Rahmer won Williams Grove and so sad that I
didn’t get to see it live. The victory was a fitting culmination of an extraordinary career for Rahmer. Special thanks to all who sent get well cards while I
was doing a bit of “sheet time”.
From all reports the Stan Lobitz Movie Party was a
great success again in November. Besides being a joyous day for everyone in attendance, the Lobitz Party is
an important annual fundraiser for the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing. Stan has done so much for
EMMR over the years. It will be great fun to honor him
and others at the 40th Annual Convention in August.
The previously mentioned “Fast” Freddie Rahmer
agreed to be the special guest for the December 1 Holiday Open House. Fred, together with his wife Debbie
and former mechanic Lee Stauffer, were a hit with all
of the fans and EMMR supporters in attendance. Fred
spoke candidly about his career and working with his
sons in 2014 and beyond. Thanks, Fred, for being a
special friend to the Eastern Museum.
Next up on the schedule was a really special “Third
Sunday Roundtable.” We spoke of Stan Lobitz earlier,
well, rumor has it that he took a shot or two at his old
friend during the January 19 “Lynn Paxton Roast”
and Birthday Celebration. Darn, I really hate that I
missed that party! From the photos I saw it looked
like a huge crowd and everyone was having a great
time helping Lynn celebrate. Or maybe it was that
Vintage Motorcycle

(PVR) plan to showcase regional short track legendary race bikes at the Eastern Museum of Motor
Racing.
Among them will be:

they all just relishing the chance to give back to Paxton some of the grief he’d given them over the years!
Anyway, thanks for the memories, Lynn!
I hope I wasn’t too obvious, but I’ve recapped many
of these exciting EMMR events for a reason. I don’t
want you to miss the fun! If you are within reasonable driving distance, another exciting season is starting soon. Mark your calendar and don’t miss any of
the 2014 special events! See schedule on page 7. I’ll
see you at the Spring Open House!

new mixture of vehicles includes the Mr. 555 Super
Stock Plymouth of the late Ken Montgomery; the
“All American” 1956 Chevy gasser of Greg Swenson;
the late Ron Wallace’s ‘61 Corvette race car; the
Hahn & Turner B/Fuel Dragster the “Blue Mountain

Production; the Kawasaki drag bike of James Hammer (a regular at York US30 Dragway); Carroll Hines’
Street Roadster race car; the twin engine dragster of
Stan Shoppel; the Top Fuel Dragster of Bob Hilton;
and for the younger enthusiast—a Junior Dragster
entered by Kerm Shingledecker.
Unfortunately due to weather conditions our February 15th Weekend Warrior Luncheon was cancelled.
The program will be incorporated into our Back In
The Day roundtable for the Spring Open House on
April 5th with National Event announcer Bob Frey,
and our Pennsylvania group of George Nye, former
York US 30 announcer; Frankie Burke, former Maple

presentation of “Back In The Day” with a memorial
and dedication of a memorial block to the recently departed drag racing legend, Bud Faubel of Chambersburg. Bud’s wife Barbara will be in attendance to
share the many memories of his storied life flying in
the military and commercially along with his many
drag racing exploits.
Lots of new photos, posters, and drag racing
memorabilia will appear throughout the drag racing
area exhibit, a memorial display area for Bud Faubel
and a display case of notable drag racing history in
the EMMR library.
We remain dedicated to expanding our performance history as space permits and will continue to
broaden the scope and breadth of our drag racing exhibit as finances permit.

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.
Our annual dinner and meeting was held Saturday
February 2, 2014 at the East Berlin Community Center. This event is held annually to install newly elected
officers, thank outgoing officers and present special
awards to members that show devotion and support
to the region.
The new officers installed this year are as follows;
Howard King, President; Ron Green, Vice President;
Brenda Wood, Secretary; and Karen Engle, Treasurer.
EMMR Museum
Gift Shop
We can’t wait for this cold weather to wrap up and
get this years activities started at EMMR!
New items in the gift shop include a new adjustable cotton twill cap from Legacy Athletic in
Hanover PA. I always like to use local suppliers if possible. They have always been great with merchandise
for the Jalopy Showdown and we are happy to use
them for the gift shop hats. We’ve had requests for a
refrigerator magnet so look them in the gift shop.
A new book, Wicked Fast: Racing Through Life
with Bentley Warren is
now in stock. Reviewers
say: “One of the most
decorated short-track
drivers of his generation,
seven-time champion at
New York’s Oswego
Speedway, four-time
ISMA series champ, and
two-time Little 500 winner, Bentley Warren is
also a self-taught entrepreneur, merry saloon4
There is also a fun time built into this
event, as the region has its own Outhouse Players. They perform some of
the most ridicules skits and poke fun
at many members and national officers of AACA. A fun evening for all!
The Gettysburg Region will hold its
39th Annual Antique & Classic Auto &
Truck show with a flea market on Saturday,
June 14th 2014 at the Latimore Fairgrounds. This is
our 14th year at Latimore and the show has grown
and been a very successful event for us.
Race cars, antique gas engines, farm tractors and
related equipment are encouraged to attend this
show. There will be NO entry fee for these displays.
Please call Harry Sherwood (717) 697-0411 to reserve
your spot.
For more information and registration please visit
our website at www.aaca.org/gettysburg or pick up a
flyer in the vestibule at the Museum. Plenty of good
food and ice cream will be available.
Be sure to attend the Model T race on Friday
evening June 13. Lynn does not stand a chance of
winning since he turned 70.

keeper, hot-rod Harley rider, and overall hell-raiser
with a heart.”
We have also a reorder of the Parnelli Jones book,
Paved Track Dirt Track, and Miller’s Time – A Lifetime at Speed—the story on the life and accomplishments of Don Miller, auto racing executive and
longtime partner of Roger Penske.
A new EMMR shirt featuring one of our favorite
local drivers will be available this spring. I think it
will be a HUGE hit! If you did not get one of the black
“Roadster Race” EMMR shirts yet—buy it up... the
new shirt will be the replacement for it! There will
also be a new drag shirt later in the season.
Think Spring!

On May 17th the twelfth annual Jalopy Showdown
will be held at the Latimore Valley Fairgrounds of the
Eastern Museum of Motor Racing. One of the most popular yearly events at the historic racetrack located near
York Springs, Penna., owners of pre-1965 traditional
rods and customs gather from all over the east coast to
exhibit and run their cars. The Jalopy Showdown also
features three live Rockabilly bands and vendors.
This year’s Jalopy Showdown will feature something we have not done in many years—a regular
track time event. Because we usually have somewhere
around 3000 people here that day I am looking to preregister the race cars for the event because we will
just not have space for more.
First, the pits will not be available, so the truck
and trailers for ALL race cars will be parked in the
farmer’s field behind the workshop. The trucks and
trailers will need to enter directly from Latimore Valley Road into the farmer’s field. Also, as we call the
cars out we will have to enter and exit the track at the
opening at turn 1 which is also near the workshop. I
know this is unusual but necessary because of the
VERY large crowds. We are looking for 6 to 8 cars for
each of the three divisions: sprints, midgets, and
stock cars for regular track time.
2014 Issue No. 1 • published in March 2014
We will also field roadsters and coupes from the
group of hot rods and will heavily police them on the
track. If it rains of course we will not run the race
cars. We will also need the usual group of tracktime
volunteers to work the corners and tower.
If you have interest in running a car that day
please contact me at garland@jalopyshowdown.com
or 717-428-0110 and let me know what you have,
but PLEASE show up if you say you are coming!
Thanks for your continued support of EMMR and
this will be a great way to let a whole new large group
of people see what it is we do at the museum. In addition, we always get national coverage in the hot rod
magazines, so it’s a win win for us!!
