It appears the the Scotchman’s Lag Rally was the FCCA’s first economy run.  Held with the support of the Mobil Oil (General Petroleum) Company, the rally covered a distance of 101-miles from Glendale to Wrightwood.  The article appeared in a local Wrightwood newspaper.  I still have vivid memories of rolling around in the back seat of my dad’s Austin A40 Devon on economy runs.  One of the images burned onto my mind permanently is one of  small cars lined up at a Mobil station to have their gas tanks filled to the brim and then sealed.  This article includes a picture of just such a scene!  Articles like this, hidden away in basements and attics are the keys to learning about the events of the day.  In fact, the photos accompanying this article gave me the key to identifying some of the photos donated to the FCCA archive by Bruce Carnachan. 

JOHN FOSTER MUGS FOR THE CAMERA. THIS PHOTO MAY BE OF THE BOUQUET CANYON RALLY...NOT SURE.

NOTE THAT ALL THE CARS HAVE SIGNS TAPED TO THE ROOF AND TRUNK AREA IDENTIFYING THEM AS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FOUR CYLINDER CLUB OF AMERICA.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS FROM THE SCOTCHMAN'S LAG RALLY. ANYONE KNOW WHAT CITY THIS IS?

THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME SCENE AS PHOTOGRAPHED IN THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE YOU WILL FIND AT: http://fourcylinderclubhistory.com/?page_id=1165
