Golden Wheels Auto Racing Pathfinders

On Saturday June 15th, Mother Nature went from “hot flashes to the chills”, along with a few periods of weeping and moaning, as the annual Shoreline Historical Museum / Golden Wheels Car Show was held.
With a light sprinkling of rain at the set up to partly cloudy with sun breaks the morning was off to a good start. But, as noon approached, so did the black storm clouds with a very heavy load of rain. Additional entertainment included a bit of lightning and thunder. Thankfully we had the Shoreline Museum building to take cover in. Following the down pour, we were treated to more sun for the rest of the afternoon.
Unfortunately, the bad weather throughout the entire Greater Seattle area kept many of the usual vehicles and viewers that attend the Golden Wheels Fraternity and the Shoreline Historical Museum event from attending.
A big “Thank You” to the members that attended and to those that stopped by to look at the cars and chat with the owners and drivers.
Hopefully 2025 will see a return to a more typical “Car Show “Weather Pattern” and we will see You there.

On March 10th, over thirty Golden Wheels members gathered at the 125th Street Grill for their annual Golden Wheels Dinner Meeting. As always, those in attendance enjoyed being able to see and chat with members seldom seen because of the wide area within which they reside. President Hal Schlegel brought everyone up to date and acknowledged the Hall of Fame members in attendance.
Added to the gathering this year was a presentation by Jayce Graham, a young Quarter Midget race car driver sponsored by Jerry Day. Jayce talked about his racing history and experiences and had a short video presentation. He also had his car and some trophies on display. A nice young man with a good racing future ahead of him.
Following this, it was time for food, memories, sharing plans for the coming year and good old story telling. It was also very nice to have one of the best historians of Northwest and beyond motor racing history in attendance, Mr. Brian Pratt.
Attached are some photos of the event. Enjoy!

Golden Wheels Hall of Fame member Hershel McGriff has been inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Congratulations Mr. McGriff! For your dedication and participation in NASCAR and other sanctioning bodies over several decades, it is well deserved. We look forward to seeing you on track seeking another win in your 100th year.
