A morning with the Legendary Schley Brothers March 26, 2022
Paul and Mark Schley set records back in the 60's with their World Famous Lightning Bug - the first V-Dub to run a 10 second quarter mile.
They truly are legends in the SoCal Car Culture as they built, designed, modified and raced their Bug all over.
They are also Viper owners and of course, it is no stranger to the track. They raced along side the best, like the late great Paul Mumford.
The Schley Brothers have graciously invited us to their place and tour their facility as they share great stories of the past, present and future.
We will head to lunch at the El Torito Yorba Linda afterwards.

The history and stories they had to share were so interesting, going back to their grandfather who was a pioneer in the casting of aluminum in the late 1800's to their mother who ate lunch 3 times a week with Albert Einstein.
