Manila Sports Car Club - Philippines

The old boys of the Manila Sports Car Club like to say that the club was founded in 1967 under the acacia trees of the University of the Philippines in Diliman. They will tell you that the founders were Amado Castro, then Dean of the School of Economics of the University, Rolf Kleindienst, a Professor of Economics at the neighboring Ateneo University, and Andy Sta. Maria, a student whose academic future was generally considered dim due to the constant attention required by his Triumph TR4. Supposedly, they elected Castro first President of the Club, a responsibility he took so seriously that he has remained unmarried.
