Central Valley Motorsports
October 8th 2014
By Paul Hinkle Clovis Park in the Park Summer is over and fall is fast approaching bringing a close to the hot rod season. The last Clovis Park in the Park event for 2014 was held on Saturday, September 20th this last gathering of car enthusiasts. Hot rods, muscle cars, sports cars and VW’s filled the park by 5:30 in the afternoon. Cap’s Bright Hot Coatings sponsored the event; Clovis and Fresno Goodguys Tire & Auto Repair along with OpenMortgage sponsored the food for the BBQ that is provided to participants. Our thanks go out to volunteer chefs Don Wagner and Rick Lingenfelter who flipped hamburgers and grilled hot dogs. Also, thank you to all the volunteers that helped set up and serve. The BBQ is successful not only because of the volunteers but also because of the participants that get involved by bringing out their favorite potluck dishes and deserts to share with others. It was great to see so many new rodders at this last event of the summer. The San Joaquin Mopar’s, Central Valley Mustangs, Mustang’s of the San Joaquin and the VW Club have been great supporters of this event and have been there for each gathering. Before and after the BBQ many car owners spent time walking thru the park talking and sharing hot rod stories. It is also nice to see many local residents stopping by to look at the cars parked in the park. Hope to see everyone again next year at our first event on May16th. . Hot rodders from all over the valley attended If your club or organization is putting on a car show or motorsports event, please send your information to [email protected] or call me at (559) 970-2274.
