By Andrea Swayne Dana Point Times

ana Point resident Richard Stinson D and his wife Shirley are shining up their bright red 1964 Chevrolet Corvette. Making sure every piece of chrome is glistening; readying it to be on display, in all its vintage glory, at the 30th Annual Dana Point Concours d’Elegance, June 16 and 17 at the St. Regis Monarch Beach resort. The Concours, in its three-decade his- tory, has earned a reputation among auto enthusiasts as one of the best car shows around, attracting collectors of some of the most important examples of automo- tive history in the world. To car enthusiasts like the Stinsons, the words “rare” and “important” are easily applied to their first ever entry into the event. “This is the first year I have entered the Dana Point Concourse, although I have entered a different car in two other shows. I chose to enter this one because of its history,” said Richard Stinson, adding that the fact that it takes place right here in Dana Point, close to home, was also a draw. Stinson won first place and second place honors in the other events he referred to with his 1951 Crosley Hot Shot, a car he eventually sold to the late David Car- radine. He also currently owns a 1966 Ford Mustang. The little red Corvette is special enough to be a contender among the hundreds This year’s Dana Point Concours d’Elegance has expanded beyond the St. Regis golf links to include a free Beach Cruisers show at Sea Terrace Park, June 23. of prized autos entered in this weekend’s The new Taste of Doheny event will also offer gourmet food for purchase during the Beach Cruisers show.

Dana Point Times June 15–21, 2012 Page 17 www.danapointtimes.com DP SURF GROM OF THE WEEK Ashton Wright Age: 11, Vista Del Mar Elementary School SCOOP ON THE LOCAL SURF COMMUNITY Fifth-grader Ashton Wright has been a fixture on the local surf contest scene since winning back-to-back San Clemente Open contests in 2010 and 2011 in the U12 and U14 divisions, respectively. This year Ashton took on the Boys U12 division in NSSA Open competition and ended the regular season ranked No. 9. Lately he has been spending a lot of time in the lineup preparing for NSSA Nationals. He also makes time to enjoy other sports including skateboarding, training and competing at Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu and riding his new Yamaha YSR50 motorcycle. He is looking forward to

Ashton Wright. Photo by Jack McDaniel trying the new bike out on the race track with his dad. Ashton’s new-found interest in DP motorcycle racing was prompted by MotoGP, a sport he would like to get into some Dana Point day. He enjoys following the career of his favorite MotoGP racer, Valentino Rossi, almost as much as his favorite surfer, . Ashton’s other interests include playing guitar and caring for his pet hamsters. Ashton loves animals and recently took great care of his hamster, Shadow, during Shadow’s last days. He gave extra time and attention to Shadow as the animal succumbed to cancer and is now caring for his new baby hamster, Bear. Ashton is known not only for his athletic talents and kind nature, but also for his sense of humor and comedic timing. He has quite a knack for remembering 5 punch lines from funny movies and comedians and, in conversation, knows just when to use them.—Andrea Swayne John Arvidson.
