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.
