MICHIGAN WIDETRACKERS CHAPTER 16 OF POCI

WWW.MIWIDETRACKERS16.ORG

2 President's column

Hello fellow Widetrackers! It looks like we have made it through another winter. Even with the polar vortex and the bomb lows, we survived it. With the way the forecasters sensationalize the weather, and they are never right, it makes me want Sonny Elliot back doing the weather. It's winter folks. It's Michigan. It snows and it's cold. Nothing new. We had our Holiday dinner at the White Horse Inn again this January. There was a great turnout this year, and the feedback I received was that everyone had a good time. It was nice to see so many out. In February the club went to the Automotive Hall of Fame and the Henry Ford Museum. Members signed up to go, but only 5 members went. The club's Social Committee tries to come up with things for us to do, and it must be discouraging to them when very few members participate in the events. Our Dust Off car show is June 8th this year, so mark your calendars. This is our only fundraiser for the year. The monies raised from this allows the club to make donations to different charities and help defray costs for other events throughout the year. So please plan to participate in the Dust Off. It is a lot of fun, and you get to look at a lot of beautiful Pontiacs. Hopefully we will have great weather. It's not been so good the last couple. The Autorama was held on March 1st to 3rd. It was a nice show with many fantastic cars and trucks. I went on Friday. I counted 14 Pontiacs, and there were some real nice examples. Hope you were able to make it. Another outing the club is planning is to the Pontiac Museum in Pontiac, IL on May 20 to the 22. More details will be sent by email and given out at the club meetings. Our new website is now up and running. It is miwidetrackers16.org. It will take some time to get everything on it like we want, so be patient while our new Webmaster works on it. In about a month we should have our Pontiacs back out on the road. That will certainly be nice .I cannot wait. That's all for now. Hope to see everyone at the next meeting

Webmaster's Wise Words 3 By Bob Klauka, Webmaster

Hi, Widetrackers.

For those who haven't met me before, I'm Bob Klauka, and I've taken on the job of Webmaster.

Some of you may have noticed that our old website, widetrackers.org, doesn't work any more. Unfortunately, without knowing the administrator passwords that were used on the site, I wouldn't be able to make any future changes to the site to run it, so we've had to start over from the ground up. So, I'm excited to tell you all that I'm currently in the process of building the new Michigan Widetrackers website. The new web address will be miwidetrackers16.org, and it should be up and running soon. Like widetrackers.org, I will be updating it and adding to it regularly, and if there's anything you really would like to see on the site, let me know.

One thing I would like to do is to make the website all-inclusive. To do that, I'd like to dedicate one page to each member, and on that page, I'd love to showcase pictures of your cars so that we can all get to know one another a bit better. If you could, I'd like to ask each of you to write a small paragraph about your cars to go along with the pictures. Some ideas for those who don't know what to write might be things like:

 Why you chose the car you did  How you came across the car  Any improvements you've made  How long you've owned it  Anything interesting or funny about the car  Anything else you might want to say

Just remember to keep it clean, folks! (And by that, I mean the cars! Keep the cars clean! Sheesh, what'd you think I meant?)

You can email your pics and comments to [email protected].

For that matter, you can email any questions or comments or suggestions to me at that address, too!

Just please be patient and bear with me for a little while as I get things up and running. I promise to get things up on the site as soon as I can. Stay tuned!

4 Let's Talk Tires—Part II By Bob Klauka

In the last issue of The Tracker, we talked about tires, how to read a tire code, and how

to convert old size tires to the new system. We will now finish our discussion on tires by looking at tire wear, inflation, and the tire/ wheel relationship.

TIRE WEAR Tire manufacturers put wear indicator markers in the tread of tires to tell you when to replace them. About half worn: Worn out:

In the first photo, you can see that there's still a bit of a height difference between the horizontal wear bar and the top of the tread. In the second photo, you can see that the wear bar is even with the top of the tread—and is very difficult to even see! Time to pony up for a new set of rubber.

GOTTA KEEP THE AIR IN THERE SOMEHOW! Driving on worn tires is extremely dangerous. Although 32psi doesn't seem like much, when that force explodes out, it can do a lot of damage to your undercarriage, or to those around you. If you're lucky, your tire will stay in one piece. However, many times, a blowout will create a lot of shrapnel when it lets go—the next time you're driving along the Interstate, have a look along the shoulders if you don't believe it. SO HOW DOES IT WORK? Despite the physical size of a tire, it is actually a very small patch, about the size of your hand, that actually makes contact with the road. That's why it's extremely important to have your tires in good working condition. This interface is called the contact patch. The only way to get the maximum contact patch area is to keep your tires properly inflated.

(Continued on page 5)

Let's Talk Tires—Part II 5 (Continued)

That little black rectangle is all that is keeping you connected with the road at any given time.

A properly inflated tire will wear evenly (assuming the alignment is correct). We'll discuss alignment another time. Here's an image that will explain it better than words can:

The grey at the bottom of the image shows you where, and how much, of the tire is actually touching the pavement. As you can see, a properly inflated tire will get the best contact with the road. Underinflating will cause the center of the tread to lift up from the road and the tire will wear heavily on each edge. Furthermore, an underinflated tire will heat up if you drive an extended distance. You don't want to be in a car when the tire explodes at 70 MPH! Overinflating will cause the center of the tread to extend too far downwards, causing the tire to wear in the center portion of the tread and leaving the outsides 'looking good'. When it's raining or slippery, an overinflated tire will lose traction sooner that a properly inflated tire. Just bear in mind that tires do not wear evenly all the way around, so when you're inspecting your tires, make sure you look around the entire circumference, and take measurements at several points. TIRE AND WHEEL RELATIONSHIP Proper inflation is not the only thing to keep in mind when it comes to

(Continued on page 6)

6 Let's Talk Tires—Part II (Continued) tires. Like a marriage, a good tire and wheel relationship is critical to happiness (I think Freud said this). The chart below shows wheel width to tire size ratio. If you violate this chart, you've now become the engineer for the tires, wheels, suspension and alignment of your car. And if you take that upon yourself, don't be surprised when the car doesn't perform the way the manufacturing specs say it should. If you put too narrow a tire on a wider wheel, you risk the tire coming off the 'bead' (the place where the tire touches the wheel). If you put too wide a tire on a narrower wheel, you change the performance of the sidewall which can crack and deflate. You also risk scrubbing the sidewall on curbs and things.

(Continued on page 7)

Let's Talk Tires—Part II 7 (Continued)

WHEN TO REPAIR A TIRE The guidelines for repairing a tire are shown on the image below:

Never attempt to repair a passenger car tire if its damaged in the red shaded area because the forces are the greatest there.

Bulges or bubbles on the side of a tire CANNOT be repaired. This should be replaced immediately.

Damage to the sidewall CANNOT be repaired. This should be replaced immediately.

That concludes our quick lesson on tires. Hopefully you've learned a few things from it, and the information will help you as you cruise out there on the streets. Just remember, keep the air in 'em, watch out for potholes and curbs, and by all means, burn 'em if you got 'em! (That's what they're for, right??)

8 Remembering Rat Fink By Dennis Carol

If you are like me, you grew up well before the current millennium. This means you remember how things were before everything was wireless, remote controlled, Bluetooth, or digital. In those days, the "TV remote control" was Dad swatting you upside the head with the newspaper to get your attention and saying to you, “Kid, get up and change the channel to Channel 4; it’s time for Flipper!” So, going to car shows in those days meant you saw people walking around wearing “Weirdo” t-shirts. This type of apparel was a big part of the teenage Rat Fink, in all his glory. rebellious counter-culture of the 1960s and early 1970s, and everyone wanted it. The biggest creator of Weirdo shirts back in those days was “Big Daddy” and his famous creation, “Rat Fink” (who is supposed to be the antithesis of Mickey Mouse), was everywhere. In the late 1950s and into the 1960s, Revel began selling plastic models of some of Ed's cars—and his monsters, including Rat Fink, Drag Nut, Mr. and Mother's Worry. There were collectible toys, a highly sought remote controlled armored truck collectible, and there was even a run of Rat Fink Comix. Every so often, there is a re-relase of these items and you can see these iconic characters staring back at you from store shelves. Kids today have no idea who “Big Daddy “Ed Roth is. Not only was he a talented artist, and an amazing and motorcycle fabricator, but he was also a musician (does anyone remember Mr. Gasser and the Weirdos?). He didn't start it, but Ed was largely responsible for the huge popularity of the SoCal "" movement that exploded in the late 1950s. Throughout his career, Ed designed countless cars, bikes and trikes that are almost The 1964 'Orbitron' features a custom immediately recognizable - if not for asymmetrical front end and red, green and their look, than for their names. blue headlamps—just one of the many Designs such as "", unique design features of this car. (Continued on page 9)

Remembering Rat Fink 9 (Continued)

"Orbitron", and "Druid Princess" were not uncommon, and even at the end of his life, he was still building. Sadly Ed passed away in 2001, but Rat Fink lives on. Ed’s wife, Ilene, aka “Trixie”, continues selling official Rat Fink memorabilia, t-shirts, and other products – both at car shows and online. She also hosts the annual Rat Fink Reunion in late May/early June every year at her home in Manti, Utah. If you're not able to make it out to Utah, here in Michigan, you can usually purchase official Rat Fink merchandise at either the Detroit Autorama in the early spring, or at the Frankenmuth Autofest car show at the end of summer. Ed created hundreds of Weirdo t-shirts and The 1959 GMC armored car RC inspired other artists to copy his style. So it collectible. is no surprise that there are a few Pontiac and GMC Rat Fink inspired shirts and drawings out there. Heck there is even a 1959 GMC armor truck remote controlled toy with Rat Fink sticking out of it. So sit back, smile as you re- member the legend, and enjoy these Ed Roth classics.

10 A Small Tribute to a Great Lady Gone But Never Forgotten

The Widetrackers have always been more than just a social club. The people we meet and connect with become more than fellow members, and more than friends. They become like our family. It's always hard to hear when a member of that family has been taken away from us. It was with a heavy heart that we read an email from Rich Gabriel telling us that his mother-in-law, Cindy's mum, had passed away on March 2 at the age of 97. Loretta Miller was a member of the Widetrackers. She was a loving woman who was liked by all who met her, and will be missed by many. She could often be seen happily riding in the back of one of Rich and Cindy's Pontiacs, and she attended quite a few club events over the years. More recently, she was not as active with the club as she might have liked, but that doesn't mean she wasn't there in spirit, or eager to hear about the things the club was doing. Our deepest condolences go out to Rich and Cindy. And, while the following poem was originally intended for bikers, the message is sound, and it's more than appropriate for anyone who loves the open road and cruising. Apologies to the poet; I could not find your name to give you credit, but thank you for sharing your words. May they bring comfort to those who read them. The Ride Goes On While on this ride called 'life', Take the good with the bad. Smile when you're sad, Love what you've got, and what you've had. Always forgive, But never forget. Learn from your mistakes, But never regret. People change. Things go wrong. Just remember, The ride goes on.

Widetrackers Drive-Thru 11 (Well, We Are an Eating Club With a Car Habit...)

Whenever the Widetrackers get together, there is always food with fellowship. Our monthly pot-luck suppers are always an amazing sight to behold, and over the course of the night someone is bound to ask someone for a recipe.

The Widetracker Drive-Thru is a chance for members to share some of their signature dishes with the group, and maybe you can find a new favourite among the offerings!

Chicken Broccoli Casserole  3 c cooked chopped chicken (dark meat, white meat, or a combo!)  2 heads broccoli, cooked and chopped, or 1 lb frozen broccoli florets  1 10oz can cream of chicken soup  1 10oz can cream of mushroom soup  8 oz sour cream  2 c shredded cheddar cheese  Salt and pepper

1. Spray bottom of 9x13 pan. 2. Put cooked broccoli on bottom. 3. Mix chicken, soup, sour cream and seasonings and pour on top of broccoli. 4. Sprinkle cheese on top. 5. Bake, uncovered, at 350F for 45 min or until heated through.

NOTE: Feel free to swap out soups for whatever you like: cream of celery, cream of broccoli, both cream of chicken, etc. Also, you can use 1lb frozen broccoli, chopped, in place of the fresh—it still comes out delicious.

Got a great recipe you'd like to share? Just email it to us! Jenn Bartley at [email protected]

12 Hot rides and

If you've never been to Autorama, which is held annually at COBO Hall in Detroit (typically around the end of February or beginning of March), you are missing out! Not only do they have some of the most beautiful cars on display, it also shows the finalists for the Ridler Award. If you don't know what that is, it's named for former Michigan State football star Don Ridler, who was the show's first promoter back in the 50s and 60s, and is given to the most outstanding car at the show being exhibited for the first time. Past winners you might know include Chip Foose, Troy Trepanier and Jerry Pennington.

13 Cool customs!

The show has grown from its early days at the University of Detroit where forty cars took to the show floor. The next year, it moved to the Michigan State Fairgrounds Colosseum, and then, in 1961, it moved to the newly opened COBO Hall, where it has resided ever since.. From there, the show only continued to grow, becoming one of the premiere shows in the country. These days, over 800 cars are on display (including some pretty sick rat rods in the basement), and over the course of three days, more than 150,000 people pass through the gates. Check it out! (Thanks to Dennis Carol for some of the pics!)

16 Editors' Two Cents

We all complain about winter, but think about it this way. We do not have to deal with earthquakes, hurricanes, mudslides, rampant forest fires, tornadoes, tsunamis, or enthusiastic hippies. So really, bad roads and the cold are not really all that bad. It just means that we have 3 or 4 months to make modifications and do repairs to get ready for summer, or to you can take your sweetie on a nice vacation.

Schedules worked out for us, and we went to Autorama. It was a nice time this year, and we really enjoyed the unique Pontiac that came all the way from British Columbia, the Acadian. Okay, it was a good looking car, but it Sure, it looks like a Chevy Nova, but it was just nice to watch a bunch of really is a Pontiac. Honest!! people who did not know what they were looking at.

Personally, the Batmobile was our hit. And we know our nephew Jack would have been drooling over it.

As of right now, we have booked the Holy Car Show, Batman!!! (not a Poncho) weather for the Dust Off to be 19C, sunny, and with no chance of rain. We are pretty sure that our order went through; let's just pray that we got the location correct.

So, winter's pretty much behind us now. Go get your cars out, go for a cruise, take your sweetie out for dinner, and enjoy the warmth. We swear it will be here soon.

And then we'll get busy complaining about it. Until next time, keep your stick on the ice.

18 The Last Laugh

AS KIDS SEE IT

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, 'Why is the bride dressed in white?''

The mother replied, 'Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life.'

The child thought about this for a moment then said, 'So why is the groom all in black?'

LENDING A HELPING HAND

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside of Washington DC. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocked on his window. Rolling it down, the driver asked, "What's going on?"

"Terrorists have kidnapped the entire US Congress, and they're asking for a $100 million ransom. If they don't get it, they're going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. So, we're going from car to car, collecting donations."

"Oh. So, how much is everyone giving, on average?" the driver asks.

The man replies, "Roughly a gallon."

19 The Last Laugh

PECANS IN THE CEMETERY

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts between them. "One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me," said one boy. As he counted, several dropped and rolled down toward the fence.

Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery, so he slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, 'One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me...' His eyes went wide. He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along. "Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls!"

The man said, "Beat it kid; can't you see it's hard for me to walk?" When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled slowly to the cemetery with him. Standing by the fence they heard, 'One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me...' Finally, the old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' me the truth. Let's see if we can see the Lord!"

Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still unable to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they pressed closer and tried to get a glimpse of the Lord. At last they heard, 'One for you, one for me. That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done...'

They say the old man had the lead for a good half-mile before the kid on the bike passed him.

THE POWER OF COMMUNICATION Three old guys were out walking. First one said, "Windy, isn't it?" The second one said, "No, it's Thursday!" The third one said, "So am I. Let's go get a beer!"
