Meeting MinutesFinger Lakes Region SCCA General Membership Meeting Minutes

Wehavehadourfirstmembershipmeeting for 2015 Around the time this is published we will have our awards banquet Congratulations to everyone who was recognized by the Region and the various competition groups

In 2014 the FLR board undertook some administrative items in hopes to define someof the areas thatwereoften discussed at board meetings but neverfinalizedThreeguidelineswereproducedtofinalizethesediscussionsThey are posted on our website In my tenure with the board I have found that many items have been addressed by previous boards What was confusing was finding these documents and knowing it was the last update Someone (usually Carl Dresie) had a copy Getting accurate information to our members is important

Guideline 2014-1 has to do with who will be reimbursed for various conventions It states what has been the Finger Lakes Region policy but also gives latitude to expand reimbursement

with prior board approval Hopefully this will provide us with a consistent treatment of all members

Guideline 2014-2 has to do with spending approval Most spending in the region is approved via a competition grouprsquos budget that is presented and approved by the board As with any organization things come up periodically that are not covered in budgeted items and need to be addressed quickly To expedite such matters spending limit authorizations have been established This hopefully will give members the information needed and who to contact when dealing with these expenses It will allow us to capitalize on opportunities that may come up with a short timeframe to act

Guideline 2014-3 has to do with our competition boards It establishes a minimum standard for the boards and responsibilities of the chairperson and event chairs There is nothing new in here It is pretty much how we are operating now One of the main provisions is giving the board chairs more authority After budget approval the chairpersons are authorized to request sanctions with no other approvals As Regional Executive I have approved sanctions for groups My approval added no value It was just one more bureaucratic step for groups who are doing a good job This is a way of showing that we trust these groups to run their areas

The last thing that was addressed was our By-Laws There were no drastic changes The timeframe between reviews was formalized to every four yearsThetermsforboardofficerswaschanged from one to two years Term limits for the RE were added The RE is now limited to two consecutive two year terms Hopefully members will come forwardtofillthesepositionsasneededas the term limits come up

This is a volunteer organization The boardrsquos function is to facilitate the various group endeavors Day to day operations should be done by the

people who are most knowledgeable The board should make suggestions and ask questions of groupsrsquo proposals but it should not be in the business of developing the proposal If you have any suggestions for other areas that need to be addressed please let us know Our nexteffortwillbethefinancialpolicy

Until next monthCharlie

The schedule is coming along We want to include national events in our schedule although they wont count for points Weve taken a lot of care to avoid national events due to competitor feedback but will inevitablyconflictwithregionaleventsWecant please everyone

CentralNewYorkhasconfirmedthattheywill host at least one Out of Region event at the Syracuse Fairgrounds Construction has started at the Central New York Raceway and if it is ready in the fall we will hold a second out of region at that location In exchange we may host a second event at Spencer SpeedwayifthingsgowellforthefirsteventThis location is great for CNY competitors We were both pleased with the increased attendance at each others events last year

Western Region has not scheduled their

events yet but plan to hold them at Ralph Wilson Stadium We will work together to coordinate some Out of Region events with them as well

Were hopeful of holding a joint event with the Genesee Valley BMW Club The goal would be to donate all surplus from this event to the Joel Ajavon scholarship at

the Rochester Area Community Foundation Were still hammering out the details and date

Street Survival will be held on April 18 at Xerox Hopefully the weather is terrible so we can really teach some car control Well need instructors to help with this event The firstautocrossoftheyearisthedayafteratMCC

Im putting together the budget Aretta Stillman put together an analysis of last yearsfinancialswhichisextremelyhelpfulto me

Finally the 2015 Rules have been provisionally published Make sure you check them out because there have been some class changes (which I feel are unfairly biased against a certain manufacturer from Stuttgart )Marcus Kroll

Rally Meeting NotesJanuary 13 201596 Church Street Victor NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not in chronological order

The following eleven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jamie Hayslip Jerry Kerwin Gretchen Kriesen Tom Langdon Alan Smith Andy Smith Zak Smith and Tony Zanni General Rally

The best way to slow cars down through an area is via a CAS change between instructions with mileages Using a pause over a distance may result in a team driving at rally speed and then taking the pause at the end

Gary Thomas will purchase boxes for the rally clocks Both a rally safety pre-check and a rally pre-check form are

available under the downloads link on the national SCCA website under RoadRally and Toolkits

Carl has a preliminary calendar showing Solo and race dates Some dates are tentative RallyCross

An application needs to be made to run at Perryrsquos park Other venues are being investigated

Ben has written a dust plan for RallyCross events A calcium chloride solution can be used to help keep the dust down The smaller the droplet size the better job of keeping the surface damp Waste Management Winter Rally

Carl will put together instructions to go with the radar gun equipment for Gretchen and Jamie to use for ldquoOrdquo Control at the WMWR Entries are open now Winter Rally Series

Trophy glasses were purchased for the six events a case of 24 for each event

Zak offered to print stickers for all participants in each of the series events Stickers will be different for each event so that if you compete in all events you will have a complete set of stickers

The use of LED light bars needs to be addressed because they are

bright and can hinder check point timing AND alert local residence of the event

Competitors that drop out of an event should NOT continue on the route If they want to run the route they should continue and observe rally speeds

The generals state that the most experienced member in the team defineswhethertheteamisNoviceornot

The Long Way Home was reviewed All but two of the 22 entries finishedTwodetailingkitdoorprizesdonatedbyAreteAutoSalonwereraffledoffOnecompetitordroveupfromNewJerseyanotherhas run events in India They placed third overall second in Limited running C speeds

The Ithaca rally ready Jamie and Gretchen are ready to have Cabin Fever Rally 2015

checked Arrangements will be made with Jerry Miscellaneous Discussions

Several deer were struck on the Jan 10 rally but were not picked up and taken for meat That use of deer roadkill is a standard in Maine The quality of the meat may not reach a high standard

Hakkas are noted for not throwing studs Roadside gravel can perform the same function as the rumble

strips on the edge of the Thruway of warning a driver when he is nearing the ditch

A number of irrelevant and incriminating conversations are not included in these notes

Meeting MinutesFinger Lakes Region SCCA General Membership Meeting Minutes

Wehavehadourfirstmembershipmeeting for 2015 Around the time this is published we will have our awards banquet Congratulations to everyone who was recognized by the Region and the various competition groups

In 2014 the FLR board undertook some administrative items in hopes to define someof the areas thatwereoften discussed at board meetings but neverfinalizedThreeguidelineswereproducedtofinalizethesediscussionsThey are posted on our website In my tenure with the board I have found that many items have been addressed by previous boards What was confusing was finding these documents and knowing it was the last update Someone (usually Carl Dresie) had a copy Getting accurate information to our members is important

Guideline 2014-1 has to do with who will be reimbursed for various conventions It states what has been the Finger Lakes Region policy but also gives latitude to expand reimbursement

with prior board approval Hopefully this will provide us with a consistent treatment of all members

Guideline 2014-2 has to do with spending approval Most spending in the region is approved via a competition grouprsquos budget that is presented and approved by the board As with any organization things come up periodically that are not covered in budgeted items and need to be addressed quickly To expedite such matters spending limit authorizations have been established This hopefully will give members the information needed and who to contact when dealing with these expenses It will allow us to capitalize on opportunities that may come up with a short timeframe to act

Guideline 2014-3 has to do with our competition boards It establishes a minimum standard for the boards and responsibilities of the chairperson and event chairs There is nothing new in here It is pretty much how we are operating now One of the main provisions is giving the board chairs more authority After budget approval the chairpersons are authorized to request sanctions with no other approvals As Regional Executive I have approved sanctions for groups My approval added no value It was just one more bureaucratic step for groups who are doing a good job This is a way of showing that we trust these groups to run their areas

The last thing that was addressed was our By-Laws There were no drastic changes The timeframe between reviews was formalized to every four yearsThetermsforboardofficerswaschanged from one to two years Term limits for the RE were added The RE is now limited to two consecutive two year terms Hopefully members will come forwardtofillthesepositionsasneededas the term limits come up

This is a volunteer organization The boardrsquos function is to facilitate the various group endeavors Day to day operations should be done by the

people who are most knowledgeable The board should make suggestions and ask questions of groupsrsquo proposals but it should not be in the business of developing the proposal If you have any suggestions for other areas that need to be addressed please let us know Our nexteffortwillbethefinancialpolicy

The schedule is coming along We want to include national events in our schedule although they wont count for points Weve taken a lot of care to avoid national events due to competitor feedback but will inevitablyconflictwithregionaleventsWecant please everyone

CentralNewYorkhasconfirmedthattheywill host at least one Out of Region event at the Syracuse Fairgrounds Construction has started at the Central New York Raceway and if it is ready in the fall we will hold a second out of region at that location In exchange we may host a second event at Spencer SpeedwayifthingsgowellforthefirsteventThis location is great for CNY competitors We were both pleased with the increased attendance at each others events last year

Western Region has not scheduled their

events yet but plan to hold them at Ralph Wilson Stadium We will work together to coordinate some Out of Region events with them as well

Were hopeful of holding a joint event with the Genesee Valley BMW Club The goal would be to donate all surplus from this event to the Joel Ajavon scholarship at

the Rochester Area Community Foundation Were still hammering out the details and date

Street Survival will be held on April 18 at Xerox Hopefully the weather is terrible so we can really teach some car control Well need instructors to help with this event The firstautocrossoftheyearisthedayafteratMCC

Im putting together the budget Aretta Stillman put together an analysis of last yearsfinancialswhichisextremelyhelpfulto me

Finally the 2015 Rules have been provisionally published Make sure you check them out because there have been some class changes (which I feel are unfairly biased against a certain manufacturer from Stuttgart )Marcus Kroll

Rally Meeting NotesJanuary 13 201596 Church Street Victor NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not in chronological order

The following eleven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jamie Hayslip Jerry Kerwin Gretchen Kriesen Tom Langdon Alan Smith Andy Smith Zak Smith and Tony Zanni General Rally

The best way to slow cars down through an area is via a CAS change between instructions with mileages Using a pause over a distance may result in a team driving at rally speed and then taking the pause at the end

Gary Thomas will purchase boxes for the rally clocks Both a rally safety pre-check and a rally pre-check form are

available under the downloads link on the national SCCA website under RoadRally and Toolkits

Carl has a preliminary calendar showing Solo and race dates Some dates are tentative RallyCross

An application needs to be made to run at Perryrsquos park Other venues are being investigated

Ben has written a dust plan for RallyCross events A calcium chloride solution can be used to help keep the dust down The smaller the droplet size the better job of keeping the surface damp Waste Management Winter Rally

Carl will put together instructions to go with the radar gun equipment for Gretchen and Jamie to use for ldquoOrdquo Control at the WMWR Entries are open now Winter Rally Series

Trophy glasses were purchased for the six events a case of 24 for each event

Zak offered to print stickers for all participants in each of the series events Stickers will be different for each event so that if you compete in all events you will have a complete set of stickers

The use of LED light bars needs to be addressed because they are

bright and can hinder check point timing AND alert local residence of the event

Competitors that drop out of an event should NOT continue on the route If they want to run the route they should continue and observe rally speeds

Hakkas are noted for not throwing studs Roadside gravel can perform the same function as the rumble

Meeting MinutesFinger Lakes Region SCCA General Membership Meeting Minutes

Wehavehadourfirstmembershipmeeting for 2015 Around the time this is published we will have our awards banquet Congratulations to everyone who was recognized by the Region and the various competition groups

In 2014 the FLR board undertook some administrative items in hopes to define someof the areas thatwereoften discussed at board meetings but neverfinalizedThreeguidelineswereproducedtofinalizethesediscussionsThey are posted on our website In my tenure with the board I have found that many items have been addressed by previous boards What was confusing was finding these documents and knowing it was the last update Someone (usually Carl Dresie) had a copy Getting accurate information to our members is important

Guideline 2014-1 has to do with who will be reimbursed for various conventions It states what has been the Finger Lakes Region policy but also gives latitude to expand reimbursement

with prior board approval Hopefully this will provide us with a consistent treatment of all members

Guideline 2014-2 has to do with spending approval Most spending in the region is approved via a competition grouprsquos budget that is presented and approved by the board As with any organization things come up periodically that are not covered in budgeted items and need to be addressed quickly To expedite such matters spending limit authorizations have been established This hopefully will give members the information needed and who to contact when dealing with these expenses It will allow us to capitalize on opportunities that may come up with a short timeframe to act

Guideline 2014-3 has to do with our competition boards It establishes a minimum standard for the boards and responsibilities of the chairperson and event chairs There is nothing new in here It is pretty much how we are operating now One of the main provisions is giving the board chairs more authority After budget approval the chairpersons are authorized to request sanctions with no other approvals As Regional Executive I have approved sanctions for groups My approval added no value It was just one more bureaucratic step for groups who are doing a good job This is a way of showing that we trust these groups to run their areas

The last thing that was addressed was our By-Laws There were no drastic changes The timeframe between reviews was formalized to every four yearsThetermsforboardofficerswaschanged from one to two years Term limits for the RE were added The RE is now limited to two consecutive two year terms Hopefully members will come forwardtofillthesepositionsasneededas the term limits come up

This is a volunteer organization The boardrsquos function is to facilitate the various group endeavors Day to day operations should be done by the

people who are most knowledgeable The board should make suggestions and ask questions of groupsrsquo proposals but it should not be in the business of developing the proposal If you have any suggestions for other areas that need to be addressed please let us know Our nexteffortwillbethefinancialpolicy

Until next monthCharlie

SoloSOLO REPORT

The schedule is coming along We want to include national events in our schedule although they wont count for points Weve taken a lot of care to avoid national events due to competitor feedback but will inevitablyconflictwithregionaleventsWecant please everyone

CentralNewYorkhasconfirmedthattheywill host at least one Out of Region event at the Syracuse Fairgrounds Construction has started at the Central New York Raceway and if it is ready in the fall we will hold a second out of region at that location In exchange we may host a second event at Spencer SpeedwayifthingsgowellforthefirsteventThis location is great for CNY competitors We were both pleased with the increased attendance at each others events last year

Western Region has not scheduled their

events yet but plan to hold them at Ralph Wilson Stadium We will work together to coordinate some Out of Region events with them as well

Were hopeful of holding a joint event with the Genesee Valley BMW Club The goal would be to donate all surplus from this event to the Joel Ajavon scholarship at

the Rochester Area Community Foundation Were still hammering out the details and date

Street Survival will be held on April 18 at Xerox Hopefully the weather is terrible so we can really teach some car control Well need instructors to help with this event The firstautocrossoftheyearisthedayafteratMCC

Im putting together the budget Aretta Stillman put together an analysis of last yearsfinancialswhichisextremelyhelpfulto me

Finally the 2015 Rules have been provisionally published Make sure you check them out because there have been some class changes (which I feel are unfairly biased against a certain manufacturer from Stuttgart )Marcus Kroll

Rally Meeting NotesJanuary 13 201596 Church Street Victor NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not in chronological order

The following eleven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jamie Hayslip Jerry Kerwin Gretchen Kriesen Tom Langdon Alan Smith Andy Smith Zak Smith and Tony Zanni General Rally

The best way to slow cars down through an area is via a CAS change between instructions with mileages Using a pause over a distance may result in a team driving at rally speed and then taking the pause at the end

Gary Thomas will purchase boxes for the rally clocks Both a rally safety pre-check and a rally pre-check form are

available under the downloads link on the national SCCA website under RoadRally and Toolkits

Carl has a preliminary calendar showing Solo and race dates Some dates are tentative RallyCross

An application needs to be made to run at Perryrsquos park Other venues are being investigated

Ben has written a dust plan for RallyCross events A calcium chloride solution can be used to help keep the dust down The smaller the droplet size the better job of keeping the surface damp Waste Management Winter Rally

Carl will put together instructions to go with the radar gun equipment for Gretchen and Jamie to use for ldquoOrdquo Control at the WMWR Entries are open now Winter Rally Series

Trophy glasses were purchased for the six events a case of 24 for each event

Zak offered to print stickers for all participants in each of the series events Stickers will be different for each event so that if you compete in all events you will have a complete set of stickers

The use of LED light bars needs to be addressed because they are

bright and can hinder check point timing AND alert local residence of the event

Competitors that drop out of an event should NOT continue on the route If they want to run the route they should continue and observe rally speeds

The generals state that the most experienced member in the team defineswhethertheteamisNoviceornot

The Long Way Home was reviewed All but two of the 22 entries finishedTwodetailingkitdoorprizesdonatedbyAreteAutoSalonwereraffledoffOnecompetitordroveupfromNewJerseyanotherhas run events in India They placed third overall second in Limited running C speeds

The Ithaca rally ready Jamie and Gretchen are ready to have Cabin Fever Rally 2015

checked Arrangements will be made with Jerry Miscellaneous Discussions

Several deer were struck on the Jan 10 rally but were not picked up and taken for meat That use of deer roadkill is a standard in Maine The quality of the meat may not reach a high standard

Hakkas are noted for not throwing studs Roadside gravel can perform the same function as the rumble

strips on the edge of the Thruway of warning a driver when he is nearing the ditch

A number of irrelevant and incriminating conversations are not included in these notes

Meeting MinutesFinger Lakes Region SCCA General Membership Meeting Minutes

Wehavehadourfirstmembershipmeeting for 2015 Around the time this is published we will have our awards banquet Congratulations to everyone who was recognized by the Region and the various competition groups

In 2014 the FLR board undertook some administrative items in hopes to define someof the areas thatwereoften discussed at board meetings but neverfinalizedThreeguidelineswereproducedtofinalizethesediscussionsThey are posted on our website In my tenure with the board I have found that many items have been addressed by previous boards What was confusing was finding these documents and knowing it was the last update Someone (usually Carl Dresie) had a copy Getting accurate information to our members is important

Guideline 2014-1 has to do with who will be reimbursed for various conventions It states what has been the Finger Lakes Region policy but also gives latitude to expand reimbursement

with prior board approval Hopefully this will provide us with a consistent treatment of all members

Guideline 2014-2 has to do with spending approval Most spending in the region is approved via a competition grouprsquos budget that is presented and approved by the board As with any organization things come up periodically that are not covered in budgeted items and need to be addressed quickly To expedite such matters spending limit authorizations have been established This hopefully will give members the information needed and who to contact when dealing with these expenses It will allow us to capitalize on opportunities that may come up with a short timeframe to act

Guideline 2014-3 has to do with our competition boards It establishes a minimum standard for the boards and responsibilities of the chairperson and event chairs There is nothing new in here It is pretty much how we are operating now One of the main provisions is giving the board chairs more authority After budget approval the chairpersons are authorized to request sanctions with no other approvals As Regional Executive I have approved sanctions for groups My approval added no value It was just one more bureaucratic step for groups who are doing a good job This is a way of showing that we trust these groups to run their areas

The last thing that was addressed was our By-Laws There were no drastic changes The timeframe between reviews was formalized to every four yearsThetermsforboardofficerswaschanged from one to two years Term limits for the RE were added The RE is now limited to two consecutive two year terms Hopefully members will come forwardtofillthesepositionsasneededas the term limits come up

This is a volunteer organization The boardrsquos function is to facilitate the various group endeavors Day to day operations should be done by the

people who are most knowledgeable The board should make suggestions and ask questions of groupsrsquo proposals but it should not be in the business of developing the proposal If you have any suggestions for other areas that need to be addressed please let us know Our nexteffortwillbethefinancialpolicy

Until next monthCharlie

SoloSOLO REPORT

The schedule is coming along We want to include national events in our schedule although they wont count for points Weve taken a lot of care to avoid national events due to competitor feedback but will inevitablyconflictwithregionaleventsWecant please everyone

CentralNewYorkhasconfirmedthattheywill host at least one Out of Region event at the Syracuse Fairgrounds Construction has started at the Central New York Raceway and if it is ready in the fall we will hold a second out of region at that location In exchange we may host a second event at Spencer SpeedwayifthingsgowellforthefirsteventThis location is great for CNY competitors We were both pleased with the increased attendance at each others events last year

Western Region has not scheduled their

events yet but plan to hold them at Ralph Wilson Stadium We will work together to coordinate some Out of Region events with them as well

Were hopeful of holding a joint event with the Genesee Valley BMW Club The goal would be to donate all surplus from this event to the Joel Ajavon scholarship at

the Rochester Area Community Foundation Were still hammering out the details and date

Street Survival will be held on April 18 at Xerox Hopefully the weather is terrible so we can really teach some car control Well need instructors to help with this event The firstautocrossoftheyearisthedayafteratMCC

Im putting together the budget Aretta Stillman put together an analysis of last yearsfinancialswhichisextremelyhelpfulto me

Finally the 2015 Rules have been provisionally published Make sure you check them out because there have been some class changes (which I feel are unfairly biased against a certain manufacturer from Stuttgart )Marcus Kroll

Rally Meeting NotesJanuary 13 201596 Church Street Victor NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not in chronological order

The following eleven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jamie Hayslip Jerry Kerwin Gretchen Kriesen Tom Langdon Alan Smith Andy Smith Zak Smith and Tony Zanni General Rally

The best way to slow cars down through an area is via a CAS change between instructions with mileages Using a pause over a distance may result in a team driving at rally speed and then taking the pause at the end

Gary Thomas will purchase boxes for the rally clocks Both a rally safety pre-check and a rally pre-check form are

available under the downloads link on the national SCCA website under RoadRally and Toolkits

Carl has a preliminary calendar showing Solo and race dates Some dates are tentative RallyCross

An application needs to be made to run at Perryrsquos park Other venues are being investigated

Ben has written a dust plan for RallyCross events A calcium chloride solution can be used to help keep the dust down The smaller the droplet size the better job of keeping the surface damp Waste Management Winter Rally

Carl will put together instructions to go with the radar gun equipment for Gretchen and Jamie to use for ldquoOrdquo Control at the WMWR Entries are open now Winter Rally Series

Trophy glasses were purchased for the six events a case of 24 for each event

Zak offered to print stickers for all participants in each of the series events Stickers will be different for each event so that if you compete in all events you will have a complete set of stickers

The use of LED light bars needs to be addressed because they are

bright and can hinder check point timing AND alert local residence of the event

Competitors that drop out of an event should NOT continue on the route If they want to run the route they should continue and observe rally speeds

The generals state that the most experienced member in the team defineswhethertheteamisNoviceornot

The Long Way Home was reviewed All but two of the 22 entries finishedTwodetailingkitdoorprizesdonatedbyAreteAutoSalonwereraffledoffOnecompetitordroveupfromNewJerseyanotherhas run events in India They placed third overall second in Limited running C speeds

The Ithaca rally ready Jamie and Gretchen are ready to have Cabin Fever Rally 2015

checked Arrangements will be made with Jerry Miscellaneous Discussions

Several deer were struck on the Jan 10 rally but were not picked up and taken for meat That use of deer roadkill is a standard in Maine The quality of the meat may not reach a high standard

Hakkas are noted for not throwing studs Roadside gravel can perform the same function as the rumble

strips on the edge of the Thruway of warning a driver when he is nearing the ditch

A number of irrelevant and incriminating conversations are not included in these notes

SoloSOLO REPORT

The schedule is coming along We want to include national events in our schedule although they wont count for points Weve taken a lot of care to avoid national events due to competitor feedback but will inevitablyconflictwithregionaleventsWecant please everyone

CentralNewYorkhasconfirmedthattheywill host at least one Out of Region event at the Syracuse Fairgrounds Construction has started at the Central New York Raceway and if it is ready in the fall we will hold a second out of region at that location In exchange we may host a second event at Spencer SpeedwayifthingsgowellforthefirsteventThis location is great for CNY competitors We were both pleased with the increased attendance at each others events last year

Western Region has not scheduled their

events yet but plan to hold them at Ralph Wilson Stadium We will work together to coordinate some Out of Region events with them as well

Were hopeful of holding a joint event with the Genesee Valley BMW Club The goal would be to donate all surplus from this event to the Joel Ajavon scholarship at

the Rochester Area Community Foundation Were still hammering out the details and date

Street Survival will be held on April 18 at Xerox Hopefully the weather is terrible so we can really teach some car control Well need instructors to help with this event The firstautocrossoftheyearisthedayafteratMCC

Im putting together the budget Aretta Stillman put together an analysis of last yearsfinancialswhichisextremelyhelpfulto me

Finally the 2015 Rules have been provisionally published Make sure you check them out because there have been some class changes (which I feel are unfairly biased against a certain manufacturer from Stuttgart )Marcus Kroll

Rally Meeting NotesJanuary 13 201596 Church Street Victor NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not in chronological order

The following eleven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jamie Hayslip Jerry Kerwin Gretchen Kriesen Tom Langdon Alan Smith Andy Smith Zak Smith and Tony Zanni General Rally

The best way to slow cars down through an area is via a CAS change between instructions with mileages Using a pause over a distance may result in a team driving at rally speed and then taking the pause at the end

Gary Thomas will purchase boxes for the rally clocks Both a rally safety pre-check and a rally pre-check form are

available under the downloads link on the national SCCA website under RoadRally and Toolkits

Carl has a preliminary calendar showing Solo and race dates Some dates are tentative RallyCross

An application needs to be made to run at Perryrsquos park Other venues are being investigated

Ben has written a dust plan for RallyCross events A calcium chloride solution can be used to help keep the dust down The smaller the droplet size the better job of keeping the surface damp Waste Management Winter Rally

Carl will put together instructions to go with the radar gun equipment for Gretchen and Jamie to use for ldquoOrdquo Control at the WMWR Entries are open now Winter Rally Series

Trophy glasses were purchased for the six events a case of 24 for each event

Zak offered to print stickers for all participants in each of the series events Stickers will be different for each event so that if you compete in all events you will have a complete set of stickers

The use of LED light bars needs to be addressed because they are

bright and can hinder check point timing AND alert local residence of the event

Competitors that drop out of an event should NOT continue on the route If they want to run the route they should continue and observe rally speeds

The generals state that the most experienced member in the team defineswhethertheteamisNoviceornot

The Long Way Home was reviewed All but two of the 22 entries finishedTwodetailingkitdoorprizesdonatedbyAreteAutoSalonwereraffledoffOnecompetitordroveupfromNewJerseyanotherhas run events in India They placed third overall second in Limited running C speeds

The Ithaca rally ready Jamie and Gretchen are ready to have Cabin Fever Rally 2015

checked Arrangements will be made with Jerry Miscellaneous Discussions

Several deer were struck on the Jan 10 rally but were not picked up and taken for meat That use of deer roadkill is a standard in Maine The quality of the meat may not reach a high standard

Hakkas are noted for not throwing studs Roadside gravel can perform the same function as the rumble

strips on the edge of the Thruway of warning a driver when he is nearing the ditch

A number of irrelevant and incriminating conversations are not included in these notes

SoloSOLO REPORT

The schedule is coming along We want to include national events in our schedule although they wont count for points Weve taken a lot of care to avoid national events due to competitor feedback but will inevitablyconflictwithregionaleventsWecant please everyone

CentralNewYorkhasconfirmedthattheywill host at least one Out of Region event at the Syracuse Fairgrounds Construction has started at the Central New York Raceway and if it is ready in the fall we will hold a second out of region at that location In exchange we may host a second event at Spencer SpeedwayifthingsgowellforthefirsteventThis location is great for CNY competitors We were both pleased with the increased attendance at each others events last year

Western Region has not scheduled their

events yet but plan to hold them at Ralph Wilson Stadium We will work together to coordinate some Out of Region events with them as well

Were hopeful of holding a joint event with the Genesee Valley BMW Club The goal would be to donate all surplus from this event to the Joel Ajavon scholarship at

the Rochester Area Community Foundation Were still hammering out the details and date

Street Survival will be held on April 18 at Xerox Hopefully the weather is terrible so we can really teach some car control Well need instructors to help with this event The firstautocrossoftheyearisthedayafteratMCC

Im putting together the budget Aretta Stillman put together an analysis of last yearsfinancialswhichisextremelyhelpfulto me

Finally the 2015 Rules have been provisionally published Make sure you check them out because there have been some class changes (which I feel are unfairly biased against a certain manufacturer from Stuttgart )Marcus Kroll

Rally Meeting NotesJanuary 13 201596 Church Street Victor NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not in chronological order

The following eleven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jamie Hayslip Jerry Kerwin Gretchen Kriesen Tom Langdon Alan Smith Andy Smith Zak Smith and Tony Zanni General Rally

The best way to slow cars down through an area is via a CAS change between instructions with mileages Using a pause over a distance may result in a team driving at rally speed and then taking the pause at the end

Gary Thomas will purchase boxes for the rally clocks Both a rally safety pre-check and a rally pre-check form are

available under the downloads link on the national SCCA website under RoadRally and Toolkits

Carl has a preliminary calendar showing Solo and race dates Some dates are tentative RallyCross

An application needs to be made to run at Perryrsquos park Other venues are being investigated

Ben has written a dust plan for RallyCross events A calcium chloride solution can be used to help keep the dust down The smaller the droplet size the better job of keeping the surface damp Waste Management Winter Rally

Carl will put together instructions to go with the radar gun equipment for Gretchen and Jamie to use for ldquoOrdquo Control at the WMWR Entries are open now Winter Rally Series

Trophy glasses were purchased for the six events a case of 24 for each event

Zak offered to print stickers for all participants in each of the series events Stickers will be different for each event so that if you compete in all events you will have a complete set of stickers

The use of LED light bars needs to be addressed because they are

bright and can hinder check point timing AND alert local residence of the event

Competitors that drop out of an event should NOT continue on the route If they want to run the route they should continue and observe rally speeds

The generals state that the most experienced member in the team defineswhethertheteamisNoviceornot

The Long Way Home was reviewed All but two of the 22 entries finishedTwodetailingkitdoorprizesdonatedbyAreteAutoSalonwereraffledoffOnecompetitordroveupfromNewJerseyanotherhas run events in India They placed third overall second in Limited running C speeds

The Ithaca rally ready Jamie and Gretchen are ready to have Cabin Fever Rally 2015

checked Arrangements will be made with Jerry Miscellaneous Discussions

Several deer were struck on the Jan 10 rally but were not picked up and taken for meat That use of deer roadkill is a standard in Maine The quality of the meat may not reach a high standard

Hakkas are noted for not throwing studs Roadside gravel can perform the same function as the rumble

strips on the edge of the Thruway of warning a driver when he is nearing the ditch

A number of irrelevant and incriminating conversations are not included in these notes

SoloSOLO REPORT

The schedule is coming along We want to include national events in our schedule although they wont count for points Weve taken a lot of care to avoid national events due to competitor feedback but will inevitablyconflictwithregionaleventsWecant please everyone

CentralNewYorkhasconfirmedthattheywill host at least one Out of Region event at the Syracuse Fairgrounds Construction has started at the Central New York Raceway and if it is ready in the fall we will hold a second out of region at that location In exchange we may host a second event at Spencer SpeedwayifthingsgowellforthefirsteventThis location is great for CNY competitors We were both pleased with the increased attendance at each others events last year

Western Region has not scheduled their

events yet but plan to hold them at Ralph Wilson Stadium We will work together to coordinate some Out of Region events with them as well

Were hopeful of holding a joint event with the Genesee Valley BMW Club The goal would be to donate all surplus from this event to the Joel Ajavon scholarship at

the Rochester Area Community Foundation Were still hammering out the details and date

Street Survival will be held on April 18 at Xerox Hopefully the weather is terrible so we can really teach some car control Well need instructors to help with this event The firstautocrossoftheyearisthedayafteratMCC

Im putting together the budget Aretta Stillman put together an analysis of last yearsfinancialswhichisextremelyhelpfulto me

Finally the 2015 Rules have been provisionally published Make sure you check them out because there have been some class changes (which I feel are unfairly biased against a certain manufacturer from Stuttgart )Marcus Kroll

Rally Meeting NotesJanuary 13 201596 Church Street Victor NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not in chronological order

The following eleven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jamie Hayslip Jerry Kerwin Gretchen Kriesen Tom Langdon Alan Smith Andy Smith Zak Smith and Tony Zanni General Rally

The best way to slow cars down through an area is via a CAS change between instructions with mileages Using a pause over a distance may result in a team driving at rally speed and then taking the pause at the end

SoloSOLO REPORT

The schedule is coming along We want to include national events in our schedule although they wont count for points Weve taken a lot of care to avoid national events due to competitor feedback but will inevitablyconflictwithregionaleventsWecant please everyone

CentralNewYorkhasconfirmedthattheywill host at least one Out of Region event at the Syracuse Fairgrounds Construction has started at the Central New York Raceway and if it is ready in the fall we will hold a second out of region at that location In exchange we may host a second event at Spencer SpeedwayifthingsgowellforthefirsteventThis location is great for CNY competitors We were both pleased with the increased attendance at each others events last year

Western Region has not scheduled their

events yet but plan to hold them at Ralph Wilson Stadium We will work together to coordinate some Out of Region events with them as well

Were hopeful of holding a joint event with the Genesee Valley BMW Club The goal would be to donate all surplus from this event to the Joel Ajavon scholarship at

Rally Meeting NotesJanuary 13 201596 Church Street Victor NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not in chronological order

The following eleven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jamie Hayslip Jerry Kerwin Gretchen Kriesen Tom Langdon Alan Smith Andy Smith Zak Smith and Tony Zanni General Rally

The best way to slow cars down through an area is via a CAS change between instructions with mileages Using a pause over a distance may result in a team driving at rally speed and then taking the pause at the end

Gary Thomas will purchase boxes for the rally clocks Both a rally safety pre-check and a rally pre-check form are

available under the downloads link on the national SCCA website under RoadRally and Toolkits

Carl has a preliminary calendar showing Solo and race dates Some dates are tentative RallyCross

An application needs to be made to run at Perryrsquos park Other venues are being investigated

Ben has written a dust plan for RallyCross events A calcium chloride solution can be used to help keep the dust down The smaller the droplet size the better job of keeping the surface damp Waste Management Winter Rally

Carl will put together instructions to go with the radar gun equipment for Gretchen and Jamie to use for ldquoOrdquo Control at the WMWR Entries are open now Winter Rally Series

Trophy glasses were purchased for the six events a case of 24 for each event

Zak offered to print stickers for all participants in each of the series events Stickers will be different for each event so that if you compete in all events you will have a complete set of stickers

The use of LED light bars needs to be addressed because they are

bright and can hinder check point timing AND alert local residence of the event

Competitors that drop out of an event should NOT continue on the route If they want to run the route they should continue and observe rally speeds

The generals state that the most experienced member in the team defineswhethertheteamisNoviceornot

The Long Way Home was reviewed All but two of the 22 entries finishedTwodetailingkitdoorprizesdonatedbyAreteAutoSalonwereraffledoffOnecompetitordroveupfromNewJerseyanotherhas run events in India They placed third overall second in Limited running C speeds

The Ithaca rally ready Jamie and Gretchen are ready to have Cabin Fever Rally 2015

checked Arrangements will be made with Jerry Miscellaneous Discussions

Several deer were struck on the Jan 10 rally but were not picked up and taken for meat That use of deer roadkill is a standard in Maine The quality of the meat may not reach a high standard

Hakkas are noted for not throwing studs Roadside gravel can perform the same function as the rumble

strips on the edge of the Thruway of warning a driver when he is nearing the ditch

A number of irrelevant and incriminating conversations are not included in these notes

SoloSOLO REPORT

The schedule is coming along We want to include national events in our schedule although they wont count for points Weve taken a lot of care to avoid national events due to competitor feedback but will inevitablyconflictwithregionaleventsWecant please everyone

CentralNewYorkhasconfirmedthattheywill host at least one Out of Region event at the Syracuse Fairgrounds Construction has started at the Central New York Raceway and if it is ready in the fall we will hold a second out of region at that location In exchange we may host a second event at Spencer SpeedwayifthingsgowellforthefirsteventThis location is great for CNY competitors We were both pleased with the increased attendance at each others events last year

Western Region has not scheduled their

events yet but plan to hold them at Ralph Wilson Stadium We will work together to coordinate some Out of Region events with them as well

Were hopeful of holding a joint event with the Genesee Valley BMW Club The goal would be to donate all surplus from this event to the Joel Ajavon scholarship at

the Rochester Area Community Foundation Were still hammering out the details and date

Street Survival will be held on April 18 at Xerox Hopefully the weather is terrible so we can really teach some car control Well need instructors to help with this event The firstautocrossoftheyearisthedayafteratMCC

Rally Meeting NotesJanuary 13 201596 Church Street Victor NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not in chronological order

The following eleven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jamie Hayslip Jerry Kerwin Gretchen Kriesen Tom Langdon Alan Smith Andy Smith Zak Smith and Tony Zanni General Rally

The best way to slow cars down through an area is via a CAS change between instructions with mileages Using a pause over a distance may result in a team driving at rally speed and then taking the pause at the end

Gary Thomas will purchase boxes for the rally clocks Both a rally safety pre-check and a rally pre-check form are

available under the downloads link on the national SCCA website under RoadRally and Toolkits

Carl has a preliminary calendar showing Solo and race dates Some dates are tentative RallyCross

An application needs to be made to run at Perryrsquos park Other venues are being investigated

Ben has written a dust plan for RallyCross events A calcium chloride solution can be used to help keep the dust down The smaller the droplet size the better job of keeping the surface damp Waste Management Winter Rally

Carl will put together instructions to go with the radar gun equipment for Gretchen and Jamie to use for ldquoOrdquo Control at the WMWR Entries are open now Winter Rally Series

Trophy glasses were purchased for the six events a case of 24 for each event

Zak offered to print stickers for all participants in each of the series events Stickers will be different for each event so that if you compete in all events you will have a complete set of stickers

The use of LED light bars needs to be addressed because they are

bright and can hinder check point timing AND alert local residence of the event

Competitors that drop out of an event should NOT continue on the route If they want to run the route they should continue and observe rally speeds

The generals state that the most experienced member in the team defineswhethertheteamisNoviceornot

The Long Way Home was reviewed All but two of the 22 entries finishedTwodetailingkitdoorprizesdonatedbyAreteAutoSalonwereraffledoffOnecompetitordroveupfromNewJerseyanotherhas run events in India They placed third overall second in Limited running C speeds

The Ithaca rally ready Jamie and Gretchen are ready to have Cabin Fever Rally 2015

checked Arrangements will be made with Jerry Miscellaneous Discussions

Several deer were struck on the Jan 10 rally but were not picked up and taken for meat That use of deer roadkill is a standard in Maine The quality of the meat may not reach a high standard

Hakkas are noted for not throwing studs Roadside gravel can perform the same function as the rumble

strips on the edge of the Thruway of warning a driver when he is nearing the ditch

A number of irrelevant and incriminating conversations are not included in these notes

SoloSOLO REPORT

The schedule is coming along We want to include national events in our schedule although they wont count for points Weve taken a lot of care to avoid national events due to competitor feedback but will inevitablyconflictwithregionaleventsWecant please everyone

CentralNewYorkhasconfirmedthattheywill host at least one Out of Region event at the Syracuse Fairgrounds Construction has started at the Central New York Raceway and if it is ready in the fall we will hold a second out of region at that location In exchange we may host a second event at Spencer SpeedwayifthingsgowellforthefirsteventThis location is great for CNY competitors We were both pleased with the increased attendance at each others events last year

Western Region has not scheduled their

events yet but plan to hold them at Ralph Wilson Stadium We will work together to coordinate some Out of Region events with them as well

Were hopeful of holding a joint event with the Genesee Valley BMW Club The goal would be to donate all surplus from this event to the Joel Ajavon scholarship at

the Rochester Area Community Foundation Were still hammering out the details and date

Street Survival will be held on April 18 at Xerox Hopefully the weather is terrible so we can really teach some car control Well need instructors to help with this event The firstautocrossoftheyearisthedayafteratMCC

The use of LED light bars needs to be addressed because they are

bright and can hinder check point timing AND alert local residence of the event

Competitors that drop out of an event should NOT continue on the route If they want to run the route they should continue and observe rally speeds

The generals state that the most experienced member in the team defineswhethertheteamisNoviceornot

checked Arrangements will be made with Jerry Miscellaneous Discussions

Several deer were struck on the Jan 10 rally but were not picked up and taken for meat That use of deer roadkill is a standard in Maine The quality of the meat may not reach a high standard

Hakkas are noted for not throwing studs Roadside gravel can perform the same function as the rumble

strips on the edge of the Thruway of warning a driver when he is nearing the ditch

A number of irrelevant and incriminating conversations are not included in these notes

Rally Meeting NotesJanuary 13 201596 Church Street Victor NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not in chronological order

The following eleven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jamie Hayslip Jerry Kerwin Gretchen Kriesen Tom Langdon Alan Smith Andy Smith Zak Smith and Tony Zanni General Rally

The best way to slow cars down through an area is via a CAS change between instructions with mileages Using a pause over a distance may result in a team driving at rally speed and then taking the pause at the end

Gary Thomas will purchase boxes for the rally clocks Both a rally safety pre-check and a rally pre-check form are

available under the downloads link on the national SCCA website under RoadRally and Toolkits

Carl has a preliminary calendar showing Solo and race dates Some dates are tentative RallyCross

An application needs to be made to run at Perryrsquos park Other venues are being investigated

Ben has written a dust plan for RallyCross events A calcium chloride solution can be used to help keep the dust down The smaller the droplet size the better job of keeping the surface damp Waste Management Winter Rally

Carl will put together instructions to go with the radar gun equipment for Gretchen and Jamie to use for ldquoOrdquo Control at the WMWR Entries are open now Winter Rally Series

Trophy glasses were purchased for the six events a case of 24 for each event

Zak offered to print stickers for all participants in each of the series events Stickers will be different for each event so that if you compete in all events you will have a complete set of stickers

The use of LED light bars needs to be addressed because they are

bright and can hinder check point timing AND alert local residence of the event

Competitors that drop out of an event should NOT continue on the route If they want to run the route they should continue and observe rally speeds

The generals state that the most experienced member in the team defineswhethertheteamisNoviceornot

The Long Way Home was reviewed All but two of the 22 entries finishedTwodetailingkitdoorprizesdonatedbyAreteAutoSalonwereraffledoffOnecompetitordroveupfromNewJerseyanotherhas run events in India They placed third overall second in Limited running C speeds

The Ithaca rally ready Jamie and Gretchen are ready to have Cabin Fever Rally 2015

checked Arrangements will be made with Jerry Miscellaneous Discussions

Several deer were struck on the Jan 10 rally but were not picked up and taken for meat That use of deer roadkill is a standard in Maine The quality of the meat may not reach a high standard

Hakkas are noted for not throwing studs Roadside gravel can perform the same function as the rumble

strips on the edge of the Thruway of warning a driver when he is nearing the ditch
