I am SO envious I left LA Friday morning and two hours later was on the side of the road with a bad clutch near Gorman. A rush job (after getting parts) by the mechanic had me back on the road Saturday with hopes of making the show. Within a hundred miles the new cable had stretched and was useless. Never seen anything like it I just got the car back and cleaned it up for a what it should have been photo Real sorry I missed everybody and seeing their great cars. Hope to see you at another show real soon

Many of us, at one time or another, experience some hard luck to/from a show. Thankfully just a clutch and nothing worse...glad you weren't hurt, or anything like that. Great effort with trying to get things resolved away from home.

John T.- we were getting updates on your situation Friday and Saturday and were all pulling for you! Not to worry, Morro Bay will be here before you know it.

Well another Ripon is in the books and this one was a record setter for participants in total and for SSP Mustangs also. We had 5 restored CHP, 1 restored NHP, 2 in-progress CHP and 1 daily driver CHP for a total of 9 SSPs. Besides John T. and his '89 CHP, there was also a restored '92 CHP (Jim Young's ex) that ended up MIA due to a mechanical breakdown on show day.

Awards in the Restored Special Service Pursuit Vehicle - Mustang and Camaro class were:

1st place - John S., 1992 CHP Mustang
2nd place - Michael C, 1988 CHP Mustang
3rd place - Gary (?), 1984 CHP Mustang

It was a Mustang and CHP sweep this year! Also, the lone SSP in the daily driver class, a '93 CHP, took 1st place. It was a great showing for all the Mustangs and everyone had a ball. As a great bonus, an SSP was also featured on this year's show plaque!



That's Mike D.'s '86 - it was also a no-show, he brought one of his other cars...gotta find a way to get him to get it over to the show next time!

It is also my pleasure to report that the infamous '88 CHP EVOC unit so often discussed here has landed into the capable hands of member "Kevin" who showed it on Saturday. Among other things, he has replaced the incorrect seats, stripped the doors to remove the door mouldings, cruddy decals and multiple layers of paint and get it re-decaled but most importantly he wiped off all misc. BS decals and those stupid roof autographs!







Glad to have this one back in the hobby in more correct and presentable form!
