Fuel For Thought 

BY JOHN HALL, PRESIDENT 

The fun awaits you just around the next curve! 

This T year’s Car Show 

once o again shows 

how h good planning, 

commitment, c and 

a great team can 

produce p an incredible 

event. ev Showcasing 

classic c cars at Green 

Valley Park with its shade trees, lake, Veterans’ 

Memorial and ramadas evokes comparisons 

to legendary concours events such as 

Monterey, California. This year’s Friday evening 

cruise around Payson truly showcased 

the town. Special thanks to Ken Gunderson 

and Mary Cailey for their work coordinating 

this great ride. The Bertram’s burger burn 

complete with first-rate homemade baked 

goods and entertainment from Payson High 

School highlighted a great start to the Show. 

From the quality of this year’s entrants and 

TECH T TIP 

vendors to the incredible range and 

presentation of our raffle items (who 

else but Bobi Beveridge could showcase 

a load of gravel and a diamond ring so 

perfectly?), the 19th Cruise-In maintained 

its reputation as the Northland’s premier 

event. As I walked around the site, all I 

heard were compliments from entrants, 

sponsors and visitors. Hats off to Steve & 

Margie Fowler and Nate & Patty Johnson 

and everyone on their Car Show teams 

for an exemplary show! Special thanks 

to Boyd Miller and his beautification crew 

– once again Boyd made sure we left the 

park in better shape than we found it! 

Our challenge now is to encourage and 

support the leadership for next year’s 

20th Anniversary Cruise-In. Key team 

leadership roles present opportunities to 

help shape (continued on Page 11) 

Should S You Trust Your Engine Machinist? 

BY B JOHN CAILEY 

Welcome W to “tech tip #9.” Should you trust your engine machinist? 

That T was one of the threads on another automotive website that I 

frequent. fr It turned in to an amazingly long thread, with everyone 

giving g 

their opinion (and you know what opinions are like and at 

times it became ugly!) I’d like to share a recent experience I had in this regard and of 

course, give you my opinion. My wife and I are new to Rim Country area, so I am slowly 

building my automotive contacts. One of those was to find (continued on Page 4)

Honoring our 

Veterans 

By John Hall 

On the first Sunday in April, Patty Johnson, 

MJ and I were privileged to join 

a small group of family and friends in 

honoring one of our WWII veterans who 

came ashore at Normandy on D-Day 

and later served in Patton’s 3rd Army. 

Floyd Landers, now 92 years old, 

was medically retired from the Army in 

1945 due to his wounds from the war, 

but had never received the medals which 

reflected his service. 

Floyd has been our guest for the 

RCCAC Veterans' Day Lunch. 

Through the efforts of Col. Bill Sahno, 

a friend of the Club and of our Vets to 

Lunch event from its inception, and coordinated 

with Senator McCain’s office, 

the medals were obtained and presented 

to Floyd in a handsome wooden shadowbox. 

We congratulate Floyd on his awards, 

thank him for his outstanding service, 

and look forward to his joining us for 

lunch again this Veterans’ Day. 

TECH TIP continued... 

building my automotive contacts. One 

of those was to find a reputable machinist. 

A racing friend (and automotive 

teacher) gave me the name of someone 

he uses in the Phoenix area. I contacted 

him a few months ago (as I am in the 

process of building another engine for 

my race car) and brought over my block 

to have work done on it. After looking 

over his shop and testing his knowledge 

with a few questions, I was more 

than impressed. He was doing machine 

work on engines that cost more than 

my house, and the workmanship looked 

impeccable - as did his shop. I ended up 

buying all the parts I needed as well as 

having him do all the necessary machine 

work to put together the motor I wanted. 

About a month ago, I brought everything 

home for assembly. All the machining 

clearances were dead on. As I started 

to assemble the motor, I found that he 

forgot to clearance the rods to clear the 

bottom of the cylinder bores on 4 of the 

8 cylinders. All the critical clearances 

involving sophisticated machine work 

were perfect, yet the work involving a 

die grinder (that anyone would do) was 

half forgotten. Needless to say, he was 

pretty embarrassed and more than willing 

to correct his error at no $ to me. I 

fixed it myself in a few hours. So, the 

moral of this story (IMO) is: “Trust, 

but verify!” We are all human and 

make mistakes. Would I use this guy in 

the future? Absolutely! Ta Ta, John

When the Cannonball Run Charity cars 

roar into the Casino, you never know 

what to expect…and that is what makes 

taking our classics down to meet them. 

This year’s Cannonballers were as eccentric 

as ever (Burt Reynolds would 

have approved!!) and included a real fire 

engine in the mix. 

The event runs from the Valley to 

Flagstaff with scavenger hunts, check 

points and some awesome scenery. They 

always appreciate our greeting the cars in 

Payson and encourage any and all of us 

to join them on the Run in the future!

From the Friday events to Saturdays 

Fantastic Car Show, the 2012 Rim 

Country Classic Auto Club's "Beeline 

Cruise-In" was a race well run and a 

job well done! Car Show Chairpersons, 

Margie & Steve Fowler, and Nate & 

Patty Johnson, Co-Chairs along with the 

host of competent committee members 

resulted in a successfully coordinated 

two day show. The months of planning 

and preparation, plus backing from our 

sponsors, resulted in over 220 pleased 

participants, as well as a team of tired 

but happy workers. Almost everyone 

came away feeling like a winner! 

The FUN began on Friday night with 

a scenic cruise around town with the 

RCCAC President and his wife, John 

Hall and MJ, in the lead followed by 

Car Show Chair, Margie Fowler, driving 

her 1935 Packard with Mayor Kenny 

Evans and his wife, Linda. Payson Police 

Department helped to direct the cruise. 

Back at Green Valley Park, the Burger 

Burn dinner was in full swing with all 

of the helpers ready to fill plates with 

wonderful food and a bright welcoming 

smiles. The Payson High School Jazz 

Band played and delighted the crowd. 

Jinx Pyle gave a short history of when 

cars first came into Payson and the 

roads from here to the “Valley” it was 

quite a tale. Well the weekend was off to 

a fantastic start!

Showcasing 2012 "Cruise-In" SUCCESS! 

Saturday morning dawned bright and 

early for a large contingent of organizers. 

It wasn’t long before participants (of 

all sizes and shapes) arrived at the park 

and began prepping their vehicles for the 

big show. The PERFECT spring weather 

enticed a good number of community 

members to stroll the park for a visual 

treat. Day-long rock’n’roll tunes played 

for all to hear. Vendors aplenty lined the 

park with food to temp and treasures 

to have to take home. The Hospitality 

Booth was a-buzz as fun abounded with 

"Bob-Bee" Beveridge and crew delighting 

passersby’s with their antics and 

cajoling them out of their money with 

jewelry and gift baskets to bid on for 

the raffle. The Top 10 Host Trophies, 

Top 10 Guest Trophies and the Best of 

Show beauties were moved into a winner’s 

lineup by the band stand for all to 

admire. All the trophies (62 total) were 

presented to well-deserving winners. 

Also, the Longest Distance Award went 

to dear friends of Steve & Margie’s (Ray 

& Tammy Tollini) who came all the way 

from Northern California - Redwood Valley, 

some 990 miles away. 

For those who worked to make the 2012 

Beeline Cruise-In a HUGE SUCCESS, 

their satisfaction came from both the 

enjoyment evidenced in the participants, 

as well as the camaraderie of the committee 

itself. This was truly terrific teamwork 

by a dedicated pit crew. THANK 

YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK! 

You are the Bee’s Knees! 

Over $13,500 was made this year! 

Twelve happy charities from our community 

will be the lucky recipients of 

all of our hard work. We have set aside 

$1500 for 2013 show. 

Consider being a part of 

the team for next year. 

Take a victory lap Car 

Show Committee! 

Steve and I were presented this very 

cute appreciation card from Darlene 

Pierman that we wanted to share with 

everyone. 

There’s a sigh of relief 

Throughout the town 

The car show is over 

And no one’s around. 

The park was a-buzzing 

With bright worker bee; 

The grass was shaded 

With cars, not trees. 

The streets were lined 

With relics restored, 

Out to a party 

For Chevy’s and Fords.


Lured in by the scent 

Of Car BQ burgers 

And sounds of a band 

That played with such 

fervor. 

A bright sunrise rumbled 

With engines of power, 

And mirrors of chrome 

Reflected the hour. 

Slick, shiny polish 

Of paint that glowed, 

Not traction for bugs 

Or rain that might flow. 

The T-shirts and prizes 

Were displayed to lift 

Money from wallets 

For charity gifts. 

The ballots collected 

And counted with care. 

Proud owners rewarded 

For their treasures so rare. 

Hats off to the sponsors 

Who supported the fun 

Here’s to the teamwork. 

It was a job well done!

and celebration was again held at 

Rimside Grill in Pine. MJ Hall presided 

over the event: setting up the menu 

with Rimside, welcoming all, handing 

out hand-crafted soaps as door prizes, 

ensuring that all ran smoothly. Conversation 

sparkled; laughter punctuated the 

afternoon and flowed from table to table. 

Special prize drawings were held with 

the assistance of Sara Abraham and 

winners were able to choose from a 

variety of gifts ranging from gift certificates 

and Rimside tee shirts to locally 

hand-crafted stained glass sun-catchers 

and soaps. 

Special thanks to MJ for another great 

event!

The 25th Anniversary of the Historic 

Route 66 Fun Run was held May 4-6th. 

There were over 850+ registrants for 

this event representing many states and 

Canada, France, and Germany. It is a 

true visual overdose just to see these 

vehicles and the modifications and 

restorations the owners have made. The 

Fun Run begins in Seligman, AZ, with 

many activities on Friday continuing 

on Saturday with all the cars lining up 

on Main street for the morning run to 

Kingman. Route 66 goes through The 

Grand Canyon Caverns, Peach Springs 

to experience the Hualapai Cultural 

Center and Art Expo along with tribal pit 

BBQ and Indian tacos. Continuing on to 

or through Hackberry for the Route 66 

Visitors Center, winding through Valle 

Vista and into Kingman for the Car Show 

and Shine in the downtown area. With 

so many cars, it is at least 3 blocks long 

and 3 blocks up so you can meander all 

day. Lots of restaurants and shops to 

check out. On Sunday the vehicles start 

again on the Route 66 continuing to Cool 

Springs with a gift shop and restored 

1926 Mobil Station. On to Oatman, a 

true Old West town with live music, wandering 

burros, staged gunfights, saloons 

and souvenirs. The last leg of the trip 

takes you to Topock/Golden Shores 

for the awards ceremony and food and 

raffle prizes. 

Throughout the entire run, lots of cars 

would stop along the way, set up chairs, 

and wave at everyone passing. Lots of 

smiles, lots of fun! 

Due to the close proximity of this 

event, we as a club, should try to win 

the “club participation” award trophy. 

With a little effort we could do this. 

See ya next year! 

FUEL FOR THOUGHT 

(continued from Page 1) 

the upcoming event. We need to have the 

team leaders firmly in place by July in 

order to confirm the show. Let us know 

what talents you would like to contribute! 

As the calendar turned to May, we 

enjoyed another wonderful Mothers’ 

Day celebration at the Rimside Grill in 

Pine. The ladies received beautiful gifts 

and door prizes including locally crafted 

stained-glass sun catchers, cards and 

hand-made soaps. The special menu 

selections, laughter and good conversation, 

beautiful weather, and winning gift 

tickets drawn by Sara Abraham helped to 

make the event both casual and elegant! 

Thanks again to MJ for coordinating this 

wonderful day. 

May also provided the opportunity to 

join in special events such as the Pine/ 

Strawberry May Celebration and the Rim 

Country Corvette Club show at Chapman 

Chevrolet. Chapman is one of our longtime 

sponsors of our Cruise-In and we 

should all support our many local (and 

valley!) sponsors. 

Upcoming events such as Garage Sales, 

Ice Cream Socials, lunch and breakfast 

runs, visits to local nursing homes and 

participation in the wide variety of car 

shows which bloom across the high 

country promise to make a memorable 

summer for us all. As we turn our attention 

to these new events, it is wonderful 

to again have memories of a great Car 

Show in our rearview mirror! 

Remember: Drive with gusto 

and let each apex and 

straightaway paint a smile 

on your face!
