The Wheel SCCA Newsletter
The San Francisco Region Newsletter, The Wheel, won the award for the SCCA's best newsletter repeatedly through the 1970s and 1980s. During the editorship of John and Pat Kelly from 1977 to 1994, The Wheel won the award 13 times in 17 years. It certainly sets a very high standard, reporting on all Northern Pacific Division Nationals and Regionals plus many Southern Pacific Division events, providing technical notes and keeping up to date on stories of interest, such as the travails of Sears Point. For SCCA racing in this part of America, it is by far the best source.
Editions are proving hard to find as they seem to have been left, forgotten, in basements all across northern California. Gary Horstkorta, the SFR and NorPac Archivist, has a mostly complete collection up to 2002 but even he has gaps to fill - and ORC is commited to help him in that. So we are reliant on SFR members for copies and, of course, eBay. Anyone who can help us by donating or loaning copies, or scanning race reports, would be most appreciated. Contact Allen if you can help.
NB: we have recently acquired a large collection covering 1975 into the late 1980s which is still being catalogued. The list below is out of date.
