Kurth is a racing man
Race car driver Jack Beckman will be the speaker at Mayor Don Kurth's fundraiser today at Victoria Gardens Cultural Center. At a previous fundraiser, actors impersonating Elvis, Cher and Neil Diamond showed up. This time, it's the real "Fast Jack."
The luncheon will raise money for Kurth's mayoral campaign, not his Assembly bid. But it's natural for donors to wonder where their dough will go. Kurth can and probably will transfer some of his mayoral campaign funds to his Assembly committee. The reason he's still raising money as mayor is well, he needs a back-up plan.
"Things may not turn out as I plan," Kurth said. "I have to maintain my mayoral base. I've got to be prepared for either eventualities."
Helping Kurth woo his base is Beckman. The race car driver taught at a NHRA drag racing school in Pomona. One of his students was Kurth.
The mayor's wife bought Kurth a weekend class as a Christmas gift. Kurth is a huge car aficionado but like most people, he was inexperienced with drag racing. During a lesson, Kurth got screamed at by Beckman for going too far on a burn-out. Nevertheless, Kurth got his licence, which he carries in his wallet.
You might say by loaning himself $55,000, Kurth did a burn-out in his race for the Assembly.

Dr. Kurth luncheon attended by many including 3 RC Councilmembers. No Rex. No one cared. Maybe he with his mentor Bill Postmus?
