170 mph. That is officially the speed that scares me when driving a car on a track. Until last month, the fastest I have ever been on the track about 150-160 mph, and that never bothered me. However, this past month I got a chance to drive a GT3 on Daytona In- ternational Speedway and exceeded 170 mph almost every lap and it scared me every time.

January 2013 7 Holiday Party at Botanical Gardens by Les Checel
Over my many NORPCA years I have attended more than 40 Holi- day Parties and I must say that this one, at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, deserves to be placed at the top of the list. The festive decorations and the camaraderie and generosity on display by our members all combined for a memorable evening.
As someone said to me, “As a group we sure do clean up good.” Many thanks to our Socialites, Diane & Jim Forcina, and all others who contributed to making this a wonderful affair.

Wishes came true at the Club’s Holiday Party at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens.

The Club’s Officers voted to round up the donation to $5,000 and President Skip Wolfe presented a check to the Make- a-Wish Foundation® representative following dinner.

We are looking to kickoff the year with a raffle that is going to tie in with the Parade to Grand Rapids, MI. Look for details after the New Year. This promises to be a great prize. We appreciate the club members support and look forward to 2013 and helping those less fortunate once again. Charity Committee Co-Chairs Karen Latsko and June Roesch very much appreciate the great response by the members and hope you all enjoyed the holidays knowing that your generosity helped so many others over the past year.
