Racing Ads of the Past: Ernie McAfee
Come on down to Ernie McAfee’s for everything you need for the races. Helmets, just like the pros use: $30. Add a visor to that for a sawbuck. Or perhaps you’re in the market for something bigger. Why not test drive the brand new Siata V8. It’s sure to impress the ladies and only $4995. Motor on down to 8363 Sunset, and tell ‘em The Chicane sent ya.
(Naturally this location is now a Starbucks.. typical)

Starbucks… bummer
Big fan of Ernie, own a couple of his ex cars, think he is a generally underrated sports car pioneer of the first order. Ernie seems to have done more and achieved more for the cause in 5 years of sports car activism, then others did in a lifetime.
Someone should at leas put a small plaque nest to the Starbucks, so the next generations can know and appreciate the sports car culture of southern Cali.
How long before all first-hand observers are no longer with us, who will tell the story then??
