Dave's Story
" We are so pleased to introduce Dave Odell to you – a member of the  Drifters Car Club of Southern California   and Retired Fire Captain of Ventura County. Dave and his wife, Debbie Odell served on the Murrieta Rod Run committee for 2 consecutive and it was such a pleasure for Oak Grove’s team to work with them. They made a tremendous push last year by taking the raffle baskets up a notch – helping Oak Grove beat their goal last year in proceeds raised – that’s how amazing the raffle baskets were! Believe it or not, Debbie was the reason why they began rebuilding old cars – it became a family project that was thoroughly enjoyed. With the Drifters Car Club, Dave enters his Ruby girl in various car shows and won Best to Show at The Dr. George Show at  Bates Nut Farm ! Ruby girl beat out over 1,000 classic cars - WAY TO GO DAVE! In his many years of helping producing car shows “working with the Murrieta Rod Run committee has been a blessing, [the committee is filled with] many people that love to help and know what they’re doing!
