Club President Tuffy von Briesen re - ported in November that membership has actually grown by about 40 over last year; we’re one of the few clubs to show growth year-over- year, he said. Our various programs—DE, rally, autocross, drive ’n dine, etc.— have shown increased participation. Attendance at various social events, most notably the monthly breakfasts in Virginia and Mary - land, are also enjoying growing attendance. Even Tech inspections, once mostly attended by serious track junkies, now have many Porsche enthusiasts dropping in to inspect their cars, chew the fat (along with donuts!). These programs are an excellent way to enjoy your Porsche and expand your circle of friends. Looking ahead to 2010, first let us note there will not be a Janu - ary issue. However, we’ll return in February with an issue that’s al - ready well into the planning stages with more features on club members, trip reports, plans for various club activities in 2010 and news of interest to all. The club still needs to continue growing. You can help by re - cruiting new members (see form on Page 9). Thanks for a productive 2000, and I hope each and everyone of you has a happy and safe holiday season. Richard Curtis • • • Corrections: In the November issue, the author of the article, “The sage of my ‘Super T’ “ was Alan Friedman.

    Lemons Rules: 2018-to-2019 Strike-Thru NEW LANGUAGE IS IN BLUE OLD LANGUAGE IS IN RED STRIKE-THRU • 1.0: WARNING: Racing is Exceedingly Taxing, both Physically and Mentally. The longer you remain in the car, the more intense this taxation may be. When driving a racecar, you’ll be exposed to extreme (both high and low) temperatures; to dense smoke and fumes; to intense shocks and vibration; to very loud noises; and to a variety of other unusual, exhausting, confusing, and stressful conditions. EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU’RE IN EXCELLENT HEALTH, TELL YOUR DOCTOR WHAT YOU’RE PLANNING TO DO; GET A FULL PRE-COMPETITION PHYSICAL EXAM BEFORE YOU START RACING; AND ESTABLISH A REGULAR SCHEDULE FOR RE-TESTS! • 1.1: Organizers Decisions: Organizers decisions are final. If you don’t like it, tough. Get your own race. • 1.2: Unsafe Vehicles and/or Drivers: At Organizers’ discretion, any unsafe car or driver may be removed from the event at any time. • 1.3: Refunds, Entry-Fee Transfers, and Compensation for Loss: There are none. Forget it. It ain’t gonna happen. You get zip. Squat. Nada. Can’t get your act together? Tough nuts. T-boned on Lap One? Listen to the crickets. Abducted by space aliens? Boo-hoo, L. Ron. Jay ran you over in his RV? Then you shouldn’t have been…wait a minute…okay, that actually might be our fault. • 1.4: Claiming Race: At the end of the competition, the Organizers–and nobody else, you lazy, better-car-wantin’ bastids–may elect to purchase any vehicle from its owner(s) for $500.
