President's Message
The Crankin' A''s of Daytona Beach had a great year in 2025, and we thank Paul Howes for his leadership as (now) our Past President and Kim Ziffra as our (now) Past Vice President. Looking back, the club ran smoothly and face it - we had a lot of fun. And that's what it is all about.
As your new President, we plan to continue to move forward with our past successes. We are planning tours and car shows, dinners and meetings, and of course, Tinker Tuesdays. We encourage suggestions for events so we can all get together and keep the ball rolling in 2026.
Tinker Tuesday is a great weekly get-together where we actually do get some work done on our projects, but it is also a bit of a social event where we can trade stories and ideas, get advice on those little issues that we may encounter with our cars, and generally keep up with each other. We have tools to use, parts to spare, a kitchen to use, and chairs to sit and relax. Even if you don't want to work on things, we still encourage the membership to take advantage of this unique setting at the garage to just take a Tuesday morning and relax. The coffee is on at 9:00, someone always brings donuts and hot dogs are on the grill at noon.
Don't be shy! If you have an issue, a suggestion, a compliment or complaint, please let us know! We have a great club with great people and great cars, so take advantage of us!
Here is the 2026 Leadership Team:
- President Bruce Hawley
- Vice-President Kevin Duffy
- Treasurer Ed Hart
- Secretary Elaine Lowe
Let's have a wonderful 2026 with the Crankin' A's of Daytona Beach!
