SCENIC GALAXIELAND NEWS
Hello everyone,
Plans continue in the hot, northern NC summer for the future events honoring Fireball Roberts into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. He was one of our Galaxie heroes in NASCAR history. At this time, there still is no decision on WHICH car will be on display in Charlotte for the 2014 year. Speedweeks Daytona in February will honor him in a big way. We will certainly plan to be there for that.
On the local area level. the LOGO for Scenic Galaxieland is near completion. Events in the near future are Hillsborough, NC September 28th, 29th at the Occoneechee Speedway honoring Marvin Panch. Then comes Dawsonville, Ga. October 26th-27th at the Mountain Moonshine Festival with the Atlanta gang hosting that one for the Galaxies. The same weekend brings NASCAR day on Saturday in Randleman, NC with Richard Petty. The Carolina Auto Fest on November 15-17th at the NC Sate Fairgrounds in Raleigh will most likely round out the year. That one will be our maiden event for Scenic Galaxieland for new member recruitment. Details for that one are underway.
That will do it for the lap and remember as always, Galaxies are XL'lent.
Wayne Haynes, Scenic Galaxieland Director

FIREBALL-ROBERTS.COM NOW UNDERWAY
Construction is now underway for the new, and FAMILY supported Fireball Roberts website. It is more that a book written from someone's opinion or a fantasy website with statistics and memories. It includes photos and items brought and shared by those that remembered and want to share their thoughts, as well as the family heirlooms and the tributes of all kinds from those abroad. This is a live website that is always open for criticism and corrections from facts, thus creating a never ending change. Please check out the ongoing work in progress as we have barely scratched the surface and lingering now in 1952 and the beach era.
Check Out THE STARLINER CONNECTION On Facebook.
ZACK STRAITS of Staunton, Va. has a COOL website on face book called the STARLINER CONNECTION. A must see for the 1960-61 Starliner folks..

GALAXIELAND is EXPANDING. No longer covering the Florida area only, "Scenic" Galaxieland is now based out of the heart of NC. To increase GALAXIE member contacts and events further north in the southeast, Galaxieland is forming a group in the NORTHERN NC area, including WV, and VA. This is a SCENIC GALAXIELAND. For those interested in this chapter of the FORD GALAXIE CLUB of AMERICA, please contact us on this site.
