ATTENTION! Things are about to get REAL busy! Our Solo Season starts off with a BIG weekend at Lake Erie Speedway. Test & Tune on Saturday and Solo Competition #1 on Sunday. So shake the cobwebs out, check your tire pressures and come on out! Lots of FAST FUN! Lots of prizes!

February started out with a busy weekend with the 50th Ohio Winter Rally. Greg Lester, who is such a big help on our rallys was chairman. Dave Sellers and Janis Ford, who win so many of our rallys finished in a tie for 2nd with 9 points. That same weekend was the Erie Auto Show down at the Bayfront Convention Center. While the main room for the dealers was blah, outside in the hallway, our former member Brad Goetz Peter Cunningham’s Pirelli World had a gorgeous Resto-mod Corvette, a mid-50s Chevy, and a Challenge Acura TLX-GT naked chassis for a Corvette that he is building for one of his at the Cleveland Auto Show Harborvette customers. VERY Nice! Auto Express had 2 Alfa Romeo 4Cs, New Motors had a BMW M4, Roth had an Audi S4. There was a new Miata MX-5, a Z-06 Corvette, a Hellcat, and one of the last new Mitsubishi EVOs. I just had to support the Cancer Society and get my picture in the Batmobile. Not a bad show for our little town.

February ended with a big surprise! Balmy weather! Dave Hammer and I enjoyed setting up the rally on great hard packed snow covered roads. I had to hustle to make a bunch of changes on Saturday to get around the worst of the new potholes. We had a fantastic turnout, 10 cars including 5 novices, 3 of which were Tourist. Everybody had a great time, even if they got a Auto Express brought a Alfa Romeo continued on p.10 4C Spider to the Erie Auto Show

Bob Hart passed away in January. His 25 year SCCA anniversary would have been in February. He was a Gunnery Sargent in the Marines and a mechanic at Mack Truck. Bob was MOPAR enthusiast, with a Dodge Shelby Charger. He brought his son Al and his grandson Andrew Sief- ert into the club. I think the last event he made was the 2014 Covered Bridge Rally with his grandson, Eric Seifert. He served as a Club Racing Tech Inspector and in Sound Control and was invaluable at our In the Batmobile, to support the American Mini-Grand Prixes. Thanks Bob. RIP 2 Cancer Society, at the Erie Auto Show Sno-Go Road Rally February 28, 2016

We would like to thank everyone who came out to our Sno-Go Rally. After 2 weeks of setting up the rally with almost perfect hard packed snow, Mother Nature took the rally’s name to heart and delivered beautiful 60 de- gree weather. Snow Gone Rally! Just a gorgeous day. The challenge became dodging all the potholes! All the cars got seriously dirty and everyone received a bottle of car wash at the finish.The rally went from the Burger King on I-90 and Sterritania down to a break in Saegertown and finished at Crowley’s in Platea. Lots of prizes! Major thanks to Dave Hammer, Logan Flaherty, Joel Donaldson, and Kathy Vanderwende. Your help was greatly appreciated. Thanks also to Dave Sellers, Janis Ford, Ron Johnstonbaugh and Caleb Abbott who helped with scoring.

Bill reported on the National Convention and the Teen Street Survival Summit in Las Vegas. This was the most enthusias- tic in many years. Our Mission is To Have Fun with Cars! Our membership is up about 5%. and we had a $400K surplus. The Club is seriously interested in investing in new programs. Track Night in America was a big success. Heyward Wag- ner, the Director of Experiential Programs led many of the seminars. He overflows with enthusiasm and is not afraid to try new things and is not afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. He brainstormed a program called Targa in which you visit 3 different tracks in 3 days.

continued on p.8 7 February minutes continued Pro Racing had a great year, with Amy Ruman winning the Trans-Am Championship. The new 3rd Gen Spec Racer kits are selling great. The new CAM, Classic American Muscle classes did well. The Club is working on a new office system that would include providing registration for all events, replacing motorsportreg and dlb. Their was a special presenta- tion on a electric car/STEM curriculum program for schools called Greenpower. It was developed in the UK and has been implemented in the Huntsville, AL schools. The SCCA Foundation will have a raffle to win a VIP trip for 2 to the F1 race at COTA. Heyward Wagner and Mark Andy are almost finished with a webinar and online test for Solo Safety Stewards. We need to be sure that we are using the latest Minor Waivers. For passive spectators, only one parent’s signature is required. Active participants, such as passengers are required to have signatures from both parents that are witnessed by an SCCA member or are notarized. SCCA is developing a Kids Club, to keep the young busy while the adults play. The Starting Line program will be expanded to PDX and Club Racing. Another experiment will be Bracket Racing. Roger Penske was there to be inducted into the SCCA Hall of Fame as was WNY’s Bob Henderson who, when he was on the Board of Governors instigated Showroom Stock racing.

New Business Bill has been to a couple Tire Rack Teen Street Survival meetings in Cleveland. Neohio and Mahoning Valley SCCA and Northern Ohio BMW Club are working with an advertising agency to develop Teen Street Survival Schools. They would appreciate our help and encourage us to have a school here. We discussed using LES. A classroom is required. We would provide lunch. We could use the infield for a skidpad and wet it down. The main parking lot surface maybe too rough. Joel suggested Presque Isle Downs. It is for teens 15 to 21. We would need an instructor for every 2 students. A typical school would have 15 to 35 students. Logan suggested a high school like McDowell. Sam will reach out to Millcreek. The first school will be at Boardman Park in Boardman, OH on April 17th.

Sam was in Austin, Texas last week and attempted to check out COTA.
