Each page cost roughly 16 cents to Patrice Hennessy print, multiply that by the number of pages printed and Newsletter Editor the number of copies sent out each month and an average page in the newsletter cost $70.56 in 2015. With the start of each New Year, my responsibilities as DOS Editor includes getting a budget pulled together. Why bring this up? It demonstrates that a certain Bear with me, some of you may find this boring, I’m not amount of planning of the layout is required with each even overly excited to write it and to top it off, math was edition (go with 24 pages or jump to 28 pages), meaning never my strong point but let's talk about the nitty-gritty you can't just add an additional full or half page features financial aspects involved in producing a monthly club without adding an additional three more newsletter. pages of interest and the cost associated with printing increases with Last year, we produced 12 issues of each page added. I mention this solely DOS. I started my term as because someone inquired about the Newsletter Editor in 2015 with a Anniversaries published in DOS and staggering mailing list of 560 wondered why the list does not include members. My first task when I took everyone (we publish anniversaries over as Editor was to look at the above 5 years and have dedicated a half mailing list provided from us to the page each month for this membership publisher (working in collaboration feature). Besides the page constraints, with Sheila Henderson, our new gathering the information from National Membership Chairperson in 2015) is not a straightforward effort, very time and identify those who were no longer active members in consuming, and takes the efforts of two volunteers to the club. This resulted in the immediate removal of 105 bring this data to you each month. A big thank you goes former members (someone in England was being sent a out to Sheila Henderson, our Membership Chair, for copy monthly) who had been receiving DOS long after working on this very task on Valentine's Day (while I was their membership lapsed. Additionally, with current busy drinking a glass of wine because it was a holiday, members opting out of receiving the paper version of the right?). I was curious about how other clubs reported newsletter by switching to digital, we ended 2015 with a anniversaries so I did some research online. There are 5 master mailing list of 441 members, which is quite an clubs that I could find (NOR, MOR, OVR, AR, MR) based in improvement. I have begun to once our PCA region who have again undertake the tedious task of memberships similar to ours (500 or auditing the paper mailing list to more primary members). Four out of confirm that the changes throughout those five (80%) report the the year were captured properly and I Anniversaries in the same manner as anticipate that the number of MOR. newsletters being mailed each month will drop further still. Because I believe part of the job responsibility of the DOS Editor is to be Half of the 12 copies of DOS sent out fiscally responsible, I am in the early last year were 24 pages at an average stages of gathering bids on printing cost of $1800.00 per issue and the and mailing. We’ve used the same publisher for as long other 6 issues were 28 pages at an average cost of as anyone can remember. I will be reporting on this at $2050.00. I say average cost because we do not have a our next Board meeting. When I find the time, I plan to fixed price contract with the publisher and the cost contact the other Editors in our PCA region to ask about associated with printing and mailing changes from month their printing and mailing costs, along with what online to month. The total DOS expenses for the year came to presence they have tried with their newsletters. At first $22,428.00. The funds used for the monthly printing and glance, it appears some of the clubs in our PCA region mailing of the newsletter come from three primary have gone the paperless route. That is not my goal nor sources. We sell ads, which generated $7,200.00, we anyone else’s on the Board. The paper version of DOS still receive a portion of the PCA dues from National and that remains one of the most popular ways to keep current covered $7,531.00 of the expenses, and MOR makes up with MOR activities and as a member, I still like getting it the difference, resulting in $7,697.00 in out of pocket in the mail but it is important that the cost associated expenses for the club. This means that MOR subsidized with the paper version remain within reason. I hope to each mailed subscription last year by $16.98. Where accomplish this during my appointment as Editor. does the money needed to subsidize the newsletter come from? It comes from the same place that the social I hope you found my report comprehensive, cohesive, and gatherings get their funding from, track events and P20®. concise.

  • What Is Champion Racing Association?
    What is Champion Racing Association? Champion Racing Association (CRA) is a rac- ing sanctioning body that primarily oversees the scheduling, administering, and officiating of the ARCA/CRA Super Series for Super Late Mod- els and the JEGS/CRA All-Stars presented by Chevrolet Performance for crate Late Models. CRA also sanctions Late Model Sportsman and Street Stocks. Additionally, the CRA assists in promoting other racing events and is the sole promoter of two events during the season. JEGS is a major supporter of all CRA se- ries with a 5 year agreement to be the “Powering” company for the sanctioning body and its series. What are the ARCA/CRA Super Series and JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour pres. by Chevrolet Performance? They are premier touring series for Super Late Model and Pro/Crate Late Model stock cars mainly in the Midwest, but also have special events anywhere in the eastern United States. What kind of Super Late Model Stock Car competes in the two series? The CRA Super Series and JEGS CRA All-Stars utilizes stock appearing cars, which resemble the Impala, Fusion, and Camry we see on the street today. Underneath the stock appearing body though, is some of the most advanced stock car racing technology being used anywhere. In the Super Series the typical engines are 358 cubic inches and have a compression ratio of 9 to 1, and use aluminum heads. Atop the engine is a modified 390-cfm carburetor. Competitors may also use a special Sealed Engine that is only available from two certified builders. In the JEGS/CRA crate series, the teams utilize FORD and GM built sealed engines.

    DANIEL SUÁREZ: Driver, No. 96 Toyota Camry Birthdate: Jan. 7, 1992 Birthplace: Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico Hometown: Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico Residence: Huntersville, North Carolina Social Media: Facebook (@danielsuarezgarza), Twitter (@Daniel_SuarezG) and Instagram (@daniel_suarezg) Wherever Daniel Suárez has raced on his way to competing in the elite NASCAR Cup Series, the 28-year-old driver from Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico has won. From go-karts to the NASCAR PEAK Mexico Series to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series to the NASCAR Truck Series to the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Suárez has proven his mettle with performance. Suárez won the 2016 Xfinity Series championship behind the wheel of a Joe Gibbs Racing-prepared Toyota Camry. His title-winning drive earned him a promotion to Gibbs’ NASCAR Cup Series program where he continued in Toyotas throughout the 2017 and 2018 seasons before joining Stewart-Haas Racing in 2019. Suárez rejoined the Toyota camp in 2020 when a new opportunity with Gaunt Brothers Racing allowed him to return to the manufacturer that ushered him up the NASCAR ladder and into the NASCAR Cup Series. “It’s great to be back with Toyota and back in the NASCAR Cup Series,” Suárez said. “My NASCAR career started off really well and Toyota was a very big part of that. To have them in my corner again gives me a lot of confidence. Gaunt Brothers Racing has something to prove and so do I. We’re committed to each other and we’re going to build each other up.” Before reaching the pinnacle of stock car racing, Suárez’s racing career began in his native Mexico in 2003.
