ROADSTER MEMORIAL

This area of our website is dedicated to rodders who've gone before us, helping to make street rodding what it is today, and providing us with a history and direction for the future. Members our club lost recently include:

Terry Terrell (1953-2010) was an original member of California Roadsters (Member No. 3), and was instrumental in forming one of the best hot rod clubs in the country, that is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. He was affectionately referred to as our . . .

Bud Boyle died in January 2005. He was also a lifelong rodder, & winner of the award for "He who dies with the most toys wins," leaving a collection of over 20 hot rods and vintage Fords!

Vinnie Bartolone, lost in June 2002, was also a lifelong rodder, renowned marine architect & accomplished artist. Vinnie designed our logo.

Don Raible (1930-2000), grew up in Pasadena as a hot rodder, & won the coveted AMBR in 1993 with Blusteel. Don was a prolific inventor of medical devices, including the heart valve.
