The"Story"

The Street Kings Car Club can trace it's roots back to 1973 and what can be described as six highly impressionable youths who attended grade school in Guthrie Oklahoma; Aaron Robinson, Ben Frier, Harold Rieker, Robin Paschall, Tim Hawkins, and Martin Blaney.

At that time and as it has always been, the automobile and one's obsession with them took up a large part of a young man's time, and so it came to be that among these six delinquents, around this time , all in a round about way went to see George Lucas second feature film "American Graffiti."

Little did these juveniles realize, something that may have seemed so insignificant would influence them all into early adulthood, and some well into middle age...

Sometime around late '74 early '75 these boys decided that not unlike some of the characters they had seen on the big screen, they too needed a car club and came up with the highly un-original name "Dragons". The club or more aptly named "gang" slowly gained more members and it was soon realized that "Dragon's" was not a cool name. In 1976 Robin Paschall decided and took it upon himself to rename the club "STREET KINGS". By 1981 the club had evolved into a highly organized group with an official jacket and insignia, and around thirty dues paying members. Several car shows, picnics, parties and road trips were among the events undertaken along with charity fundraiser's well into the late '80s. Generation 2:

By the end of the '80s some or really most of Generation 1 had let the club fall by the wayside and in an effort to revive the club, in 1987 John Neuhaus started Gen 2.

John along with the "Generation 2" members listed to the left, brought the club back to life and among one of their major accomplishments was the 1989 Sonic 30 th anniversary show , cruise, poker run, and Dragway 77 meet. Generation 1 members Tim Hawkins and Martin Blaney were also Involved during the GEN 2 "escapades" and some of our readers may remember the classic street racing battles between member Scott Hirzel's '70 Chevelle, Jeff Flury's '67 Chevelle, John Neuhaus' 57 Chevy, and Martin Blaney's '74 Nova just to name a few.

Generation 3:

The traditions continue. Now some of the sons and daughters of the originals have joined the club. Plus a bunch of new people who are as old or older than the first six.

In 2006 the car show tradition went forward with some of the"kids" putting on a show , SK30 in superior fashion. And in 2007 SK31.
