THE JAGUAR CLUB OF CENTRAL ARIZONA NEWSLETTER

Event Photos - pg 3-13


Hello to everyone and special congratulations to Mark Stephenson for

his participation in the Route 66 Fun Run and the California Oil Leak

tour. Look at the pictures on the following pages of the newsletter,

great cars and beautiful scenery. Mark drove his car over 2000 miles,

start to finish in both events. He knows how to have fun and what

these cars are for. He doesn't let his sit in the garage and look beautiful. They are meant to be

driven. If you want beautiful, look at the scenery they drove through in Az. and Ca. Phillippe

and Francois Reyns drove their BMW V8 on the Ca. Oil Leak Tour. Neil Cooper and Richard

Hauger were on the "Fun Run"

Now we go into the Summer when JCNA events in other parts of the country pick up, here in

the Desert Southwest events slow down. At our June Meeting I will have an open meeting on

what we can do to enliven things during the hot summer months. Larry and Marji have agreed

to have a second "Catathalon" Pool Party at their home in September, which is great news. If

you didn't come to the first one you missed a terrific event. Don't miss the sequel Marji says it

will be even better. Now we need to plan for June, July and August. I have another event

coming up in September that I Know you will all enjoy, more on that at our meeting.

Hope to see everyone on Wednesday,

Keep those Cats moving,

Phil Parker, President

Registration. It looks like there were at least 650

registrations. Probably double that from the cheapskates

who tagged along without paying.

Corvettes? Ya think? Neil Cooper's XK on the right.

Jaguars in the hunt. Neil's XK, Richard Hauger's E-type, Mark's XK120.






Small dagmars on this Cadillac. Now that's a waterfall grill. A classic Packard 120.

Teardrops and smiles abound.

Old pickups in Seligman.

A really beautiful 55 Chevy in Seligman.






Unbelievable paint job. The bed top was signed by hundreds of people including

Chip Foose, Jesse James, and other top rodders.

Machine turning everywhere. The black widow is photo-realistic. Amazing.











Is this why they call

it the brass era?

How about four carbs? On two V-8s? With 4 blowers???

We're still trying to figure out how the driver saw where he was going.

Indianapolis, IN -- Coming into last weekend's

Indianapolis 500 Izod IndyCar race, four-time

race winner A.J. Foyt was at the top of the heap

again, with his driver, Japan's Takuma Sato and

Foyt's team leading the series standings after a

lengthy drought. Foyt's team hadn't won since

2002 nor been tops in points since 1998. But

while three-time winners Helio Castroneves and

Dario Franchitti were attempting to tie Foyt's (and

Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears') record with a win,

Foyt had earlier chimed in that today's drivers

can't hold a candle to Foyt and his earlier

contemporaries.

In comments published in Saturday's Arizona

Republic, Foyt was quoted by writer Michael

Knight, noting "I don't want to be smart-

assed...but you've got these drivers today who are

a flash in the pan." Foyt explained that "(fans)

followed me, Parnelli (Jones), Al and Bobby

Unser, Mario (Andretti) for many, many years.

We run midgets and sprint cars about every week,

all over the country ... that's what built our fan

base." Foyt went on to add, "Some of these boys

today probably say: 'We could have beat him or

Parnelli any day of the week.' Well, I've got news

for them: They probably couldn't even carry our

helmet bags."

That's presuming drivers back then could even

afford a helmet bag. While many current top

drivers race less than did the multi-discipline

drivers of Foyt's era, it's mainly due to contract

limitations restricting their appearance in other

series in exchange for multi-million dollar

guarantees. Knight's article noted that "Foyt said

his generation was hungrier. Literally."

"We had to run," said Foyt. "If we didn't, we had

no money. We couldn't eat or feed our children.

After Indy i would go run a sprint-car race. People

thought I was nuts. That's the difference in racing

today." Never a wallflower, Foyt exuded the

confidence required to be a champion when he

stated, "I'm just glad to be named amongst the

great race drivers....I did win a lot of very

important races (including the Daytona 500 and

Le Mans). To win, you've got to want to win, and

I wanted to win very bad. Once you've won,

second's no good."

Following Tony Kanaan's win in the 500, there

would be no new member of the four-timer club,

as Franchitti's crash forced a final-laps caution,

and Castroneves ended 6th. As for A.J. Foyt

Racing, his drivers Sato and Conor Daly finished

13th and 22nd, respectively. Sato is now 2nd in

the point standings behind Marco Andretti.

Charlotte, NC -- NASCAR honored members of

its family dynasties with inductions into its Hall

of Fame last Wednesday. Former champion Dale

Jarrett will join his father Ned in the Hall, while

master mechanic Maurice "Chief" Petty becomes

the fourth member of the Petty clan to be so

honored. Maurice joins his older brother, driver

Richard Petty, along with their father Lee Petty

and cousin Dale Inman, Richard's longtime crew

chief.

Fireball Roberts, Tim Flock and Jack Ingram will

also join Jarrett and Petty in the Hall's class of

2014, with induction day slated for Wednesday,

Jan. 29, 2014 to be broadcast on Fox Sports 1

from a ceremony here. The quintet was selected

from a list of 25 nominees by a 54-member voting

panel comprised of NASCAR reps, retired

competitors, media, track owners, manufacturer

reps and a nationwide fan vote.

Jarrett, the 1999 Sprint Cup series champion, won

three Daytona 500's, two Brickyard 400's and is

21st on the all-time wins list with 32. He and his

father Ned are the third father-son duo selected to

the Hall, following Bill France Sr. and Junior, and

Lee and Richard Petty.

Maurice Petty was the chief engine builder at

Petty Enterprises, propelling Richard Petty to

most of his record 200 NASCAR wins and seven

titles. He also drove in 26 premier series races

from 1960-64, with seven top-5 finishes.

Glenn "Fireball Roberts" was arguably stock car

racing's first superstar, a flashy showman who

won 33 races including the Southern 500 in 1958

and '63, and the Daytona 500 in 1962. Overall he

won seven races at Daytona beginning with the

the Firecracker 250 in 1959 -- the year the

speedway opened. He died in 1964 following a

fiery crash at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Tim Flock was a two-time NASCAR premier

series champion, with 39 wins in 187 starts, good

for 18th on the all-time wins list. His first title

was in 1952 in Ted Chester's Hudson Hornet, and

his second championship, driving Karl

Kiekhaefer's Chrysler, stemmed from 18 wins in

39 races, a mark which stood as the single-season

wins record until broken by Richard Petty with 27

wins in 1967.

Jack Ingram drove to success on what became

NASCAR's Nationwide series. He won three titles

in a row from 1972-74 in what was billed the Late

Model Sportsman division, then took the

inaugural Busch series title in 1982 and again in

'85. His 31 wins in 10 season was a record until

Mark Martin broke it in 1997. For more

Martha Mingua is trying to find a home for their 1957

Jaguar Mark VIII. Approximately 3000 were ever shipped

of to the US of this model, it was only made for 2 years

and is identifiable by the single curved windscreen and the

chrome trim on the side of the body.

The engine runs sweet, has 2 new gas tanks, and a new

master cylinder. Needs transmission seals and rear brakes,

paint and some upholstery work. It has beautiful burlwood

trim on the dash, doors and the fold down tray tables in the

back of the car. We have the original tool kit, fender skirts,

hub caps and beauty rings, and all the little knobs and

latches that are frequently missing in a car this old.

Asking: $8,000 to $10,000 but open to discuss any fair

offer. It really needs a home where someone will

appreciate it and take care of it. If interested, please call:

480 861-6005, or

email: [email protected].
