GRAND MARSHALL'S CHRR RECEPTION
Tue, 2007-10-02 20:44
Ed "Ace" McCulloch will be the Grand Marshall at the 16th annual California
Hot Rod Reunion October 12 through 14 at the AAA Auto Club Raceway in
Bakersfield, California. A special reception will take place on that Friday
night at 7pm in a huge suite at the Double Tree Hotel. At 9 pm, just outside of
the hotel, a special fire-up by the Ace will take place in the 1965
Northwind fuel dragster.
This car started Ed's storied career in the sport when he drove it to beat "Sneaky" Pete Robinson for the #1 spot
in the nation back then. The car was found in Canada by Jack Coonrod and with a
group of 40 people, over a 16 month period, rebuilt the car to give "Ace" "one
day in the sun" after his long bout with cancer.
