First Friday Nighters have been ongoing since the early 60's (maybe earlier?)
and are still held by the 'unofficial' Santa Monica Sports Car Club which
organizes a multi level road rallye the first Friday night of each month.(I
know they held events as recent as mid last year).
I ran these (FFN's) for almost four years on the 60's and again for several
years in the late 70's and again for a year or two in the mid 80's. Great
family fun. Classes for all levels including the familty wagon. We used to
get 6 of us in a wagon and have great fun seeing backroads by moonlight we
never knew existed in So Cal.
I had two Krud syndicate placques but never could hook up with the organizers.
I checked with my USC son and he doesn't recognize the Frat placque with
flags but will ask about after the holidays.
And I believe when Leon Duhamel was with us he used speak of belonging to the
Pacific Coast Sports Car Club (PC SCC) which i believe is long defunct. I'll
check with Paul Smock and Leon's wife Margaret for any details.
Anyone else care to share?
Great fun find.
