All of us here at the ACCC want to welcome Ernie Silvers and Egge Machine Company, Inc. aboard the ACCC! Egge Machine Company, Inc. will be the exclusive and “Official Engine Parts Supplier of the ACCC”. “This partnership is great for both organizations and we’re looking forward to long and beneficial working relationship with Egge Machine Company, Inc.”, reported Rex Roden, President of the ACCC. Founded by Edward N. Egge (known as E.N. by his friends) in Plainview, Texas in 1915 Egge Machine Company is a world-class piston manufacturer that specializes in domestic vehicle applications from the early 1900s to 1980. Egge operates a state-of-the-art foundry and world-class machine shop in its Santa Fe Springs, CA facility. I want to encourage all ACCC members to contact Egge for all your custom engine parts needs…

The 62nd Annual Sacramento Autorama is coming up Friday February 17th through Sunday February -19th, 2012 at Cal Expo. I would like to invite you all to be sure and stop by the Association of California Car Clubs (ACCC) Information Booth in the “Clubhouse” display in the Pavilion Building. The “Clubhouse” is being hosted this year by the ACCC and we’re expecting over 200 local car club cars to be on display. You won’t want to miss this show… get ready for one of the biggest "Indoor Cruise-Ins" Sacramento has seen in many years! Well January has come and gone and new legislation has reared its ugly head. We here at the ACCC are keeping a sharp eye out for any legislation, regulations, or policies that may be threatening to the Car Hobby. Once again I want to encourage you all to be pro-active, contact your elected representatives and let them know how important it is to “Save Our Cars”. Keep a sharp eye out and let me or one of the ACCC Directors know if you see or hear of any legislation or regulations that may be harmful to the hobby.
