The San Francisco chapter, known as the “Racherfrachers” was formed in 1964.  Below is an article from MotorSports Magazine of February 15, 1964 announcing the establishment of this new chapter.  Dave James, former member of the Racherfrachers, has been regaling me with lots of fun stories of the Racherfrachers.  These will be added to the ” Stories” section as time allows.  For now, suffice it to say that the Racherfrachers was an extremely active chapter, drawing over 100 cars to its rallies in many cases.  Dave tells me that when he relocated to Southern California and joined the Glendale chapter, he was surprised that what was considered a “large” rally in the Southland, would have been just an average rally up north.  John Taylor has provided some photos of Racherfracher rally dash plaques, which are displayed in the  “Regalia” section.


The article below not only recounts the beginning of the Racherfrachers chapter, it also give some insights into the very healthy state of the FCCA in 1964.
