October 4 2011Location Camp Eastman Lakeshore Blvd Irondequoit NY 14617

The evening started off with a picnic featuring hamburgers hot dogs soda (other beverages as brought in for individual enjoyment were included) and a dish-to-pass The variety ranged from pasta to salads to chicken dumplings to cookies and other finger-food desserts

A short business meeting was held after the food was served

The September general membership meeting minutes were approved on a motion by John Walsh seconded by Dan Thiel

Membership Report ndash Mike BrunnerMike reported that as of October

4 the region has 441 a drop of four since September 13 Membership has decreased 11 since April

An estimated 60 plus members and guests attended the picnic and meeting

Treasurerrsquos Report - Elizabeth Thiel Elizabeth reported that we have

money The national race had a positive cash flow Financial activity for the Fun One is not complete Both the Solo and rally programs are in good shape

Note Full financial details are available from Elizabeth

Solo Report ndash Brian BuchmanThe last Solo in the regionrsquos series

was held Sept 25 at Rochester Institute of Technology There were 122 entries with a large number of novices (Results can be found in this issue of Top End and on the Internet at httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles2011 Results Ed)

The last Solo counting for points was an ldquoout of regionrdquo event on Oct 2 in Western New York

The Solo end-of-season party is scheduled for Nov 13 at the Scottsville Fire Hall

Rally Report The remaining rally in the summer

series will be a social event on Oct 16 Registration opens at noon at Tom

I started working on this column and noticed that it will be November soon Where did the year go

This past weekend was the last Club Racing event of the season at Watkins Glen and as always was very interesting Along with the driverrsquos school regional races and an Enduro they held a Solo on Sunday

Trying to make the Solo season last as long as possible I ran in the autocross on Sunday at the track The course was good and the weather was fantastic if only the lot was a little smoother There were a couple of points where my car jumped around over some of the dips and humps This was the last Glen Region Solo of the season I meet some nice people and really enjoyed the day I would have to admit that my memory of the event might have been altered by the fact that I had the fastest car with fenders there and the second fastest index time I may have finally figured out how to drive the car and the season is over

Fall means that it is election time again Carl Dresie will be sending out the ballots to all members so that they can be returned either in person at the November meeting or mailed back to Carl There are several contested positions and hopefully you will take the time to vote

If you werent at the October meeting you missed quite a party Fran McAllister and Rosemary Goodnight were able to get a lot of people out to the picnic that used to race when the region was young There had to have been over 60 people at the Camp Eastman Park in Irondequoit to eat the hot dogs and hamburgers prepared by Charlie Tanck and delivered by Scott Moller As well as the food and drinks supplied by the region we had enough

other food to feed twice the number of people at the party We are talking about trying this again next year a little earlier in the season so people can bring out their cars for others to see

Now that the race season has ended we need to start looking at year-end awards Each year the board coordinates the recognition of our members The Solo Rally and Club Racing boards come together and select their award recipients and present them to the FLR board This group has the responsibility to select the recipients of each of the major awards but we need your help We cant be everywhere and see everything so if you think you have someone who deserves one of the awards please let one of us know Until next monthhellipMike

ProgramFran McAllister set up two tables

one with books on racing history that were available for the taking and one with magazines and programs from the early days of road racing in the area The latter were used to help compile information on the racing activities of Finger Lakes Region members starting in 1956 and up through 1965

Region members that had noted success racing in that time period include Bob Henderson Chuck Krueger Paul and Kemper Miller Gary Morgan Lou Gigliotti Warren Agor Bill Coykendall Chuck Krueger John McGee and others More recent drivers of note include Jerry Alaimo and Mark Dennis A few of our Canadian drivers are Duane Carter Eppie Weitz and George Comacheo (Apologies extended for any spelling errors and the names I did not catch CFD)

It was noted that in the early days of sports car racing the safety equipment could cost as much as $200 and entry fees were as low as $15 to $20 Today those numbers are $6500+ and $300

Fran asked that those racing members present give a brief description of their career in sports car racing Cars driven and the years were reviewed by Dick Powers Dave Wild Syl Barlow Con Cameron Doris Britt Dave Goodnight Mike Lilly and others More recent drivers include Bob Swinehart Mary Hartman John DeSeyn Chris DeMinco Dan Thiel John Walsh Kurt Thiel Russell Jaslow Charlie Cook Scott Moller Mark Eksten Brian Fallon Erik Shepard and Dave Ciufo

Many of those drove a McAllister owned car at one time during their racing career

Thanks to Fran McAllister and his committee Bob Swinehart Rosemary Goodnight Jean Enright and others for inviting our guests for the evening to Charlie Tanck and Scott Moller for manning the grill and delivering the

hamburgers and hots to Mike Brunner for taking a video recording of the program and to all who made it a good evening

And thanks to Lynn Randall (and others) for taking additional notes

Central New York Raceway Park Set for

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

Rally Safety StewardAdditional safety stewards need to be

approved Tom is working on the process needed to train new safety stewards Training material is available

Summer Rally SeriesThe last of the summer social rallies is

scheduled for October 16 A flyer printed in the October edition of Top End and can be found on the website at httpwwwflr-sccacomrally2011OctRally_flierpdf

John Werner asked about the possibility of running a simple trap rally in the spring It could be as simple as a string rally A short article as an introduction to trap rallies could be prepared for Top End

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Any changes to the winter series supplemental rules need to be brought to the next Rally meeting These include changes in factors use of Timing Allowances etc

Recycled mugs etc are being looked into for use as winter series trophies

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

Many do not have room enough to accommodate a helmet needed to run Trakker at STPRreg A sunroof limits headroom even more Another option is to install a Ford 302 out of a late model Explorer in the Volvo

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Pizza may be a good business allowing the purchase of something red and Italian ndash not a Fiat

Santa may be allowed out of rehab so that he can attend the awards and Christmas party

Question what will fracking do to our rally roads The probability is an increase in ruts

Some Minirsquos are not allowed to run on dirt On pavement their handling characteristics are very dependent upon front tire pressure

Bulk mail delivery is slowing down This has impacted Top End delivery

October 4 2011Location Camp Eastman Lakeshore Blvd Irondequoit NY 14617

The evening started off with a picnic featuring hamburgers hot dogs soda (other beverages as brought in for individual enjoyment were included) and a dish-to-pass The variety ranged from pasta to salads to chicken dumplings to cookies and other finger-food desserts

A short business meeting was held after the food was served

The September general membership meeting minutes were approved on a motion by John Walsh seconded by Dan Thiel

Membership Report ndash Mike BrunnerMike reported that as of October

4 the region has 441 a drop of four since September 13 Membership has decreased 11 since April

An estimated 60 plus members and guests attended the picnic and meeting

Treasurerrsquos Report - Elizabeth Thiel Elizabeth reported that we have

money The national race had a positive cash flow Financial activity for the Fun One is not complete Both the Solo and rally programs are in good shape

Note Full financial details are available from Elizabeth

Solo Report ndash Brian BuchmanThe last Solo in the regionrsquos series

was held Sept 25 at Rochester Institute of Technology There were 122 entries with a large number of novices (Results can be found in this issue of Top End and on the Internet at httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles2011 Results Ed)

The last Solo counting for points was an ldquoout of regionrdquo event on Oct 2 in Western New York

The Solo end-of-season party is scheduled for Nov 13 at the Scottsville Fire Hall

Rally Report The remaining rally in the summer

series will be a social event on Oct 16 Registration opens at noon at Tom

I started working on this column and noticed that it will be November soon Where did the year go

This past weekend was the last Club Racing event of the season at Watkins Glen and as always was very interesting Along with the driverrsquos school regional races and an Enduro they held a Solo on Sunday

Trying to make the Solo season last as long as possible I ran in the autocross on Sunday at the track The course was good and the weather was fantastic if only the lot was a little smoother There were a couple of points where my car jumped around over some of the dips and humps This was the last Glen Region Solo of the season I meet some nice people and really enjoyed the day I would have to admit that my memory of the event might have been altered by the fact that I had the fastest car with fenders there and the second fastest index time I may have finally figured out how to drive the car and the season is over

Fall means that it is election time again Carl Dresie will be sending out the ballots to all members so that they can be returned either in person at the November meeting or mailed back to Carl There are several contested positions and hopefully you will take the time to vote

If you werent at the October meeting you missed quite a party Fran McAllister and Rosemary Goodnight were able to get a lot of people out to the picnic that used to race when the region was young There had to have been over 60 people at the Camp Eastman Park in Irondequoit to eat the hot dogs and hamburgers prepared by Charlie Tanck and delivered by Scott Moller As well as the food and drinks supplied by the region we had enough

other food to feed twice the number of people at the party We are talking about trying this again next year a little earlier in the season so people can bring out their cars for others to see

Now that the race season has ended we need to start looking at year-end awards Each year the board coordinates the recognition of our members The Solo Rally and Club Racing boards come together and select their award recipients and present them to the FLR board This group has the responsibility to select the recipients of each of the major awards but we need your help We cant be everywhere and see everything so if you think you have someone who deserves one of the awards please let one of us know Until next monthhellipMike

ProgramFran McAllister set up two tables

one with books on racing history that were available for the taking and one with magazines and programs from the early days of road racing in the area The latter were used to help compile information on the racing activities of Finger Lakes Region members starting in 1956 and up through 1965

Region members that had noted success racing in that time period include Bob Henderson Chuck Krueger Paul and Kemper Miller Gary Morgan Lou Gigliotti Warren Agor Bill Coykendall Chuck Krueger John McGee and others More recent drivers of note include Jerry Alaimo and Mark Dennis A few of our Canadian drivers are Duane Carter Eppie Weitz and George Comacheo (Apologies extended for any spelling errors and the names I did not catch CFD)

It was noted that in the early days of sports car racing the safety equipment could cost as much as $200 and entry fees were as low as $15 to $20 Today those numbers are $6500+ and $300

Fran asked that those racing members present give a brief description of their career in sports car racing Cars driven and the years were reviewed by Dick Powers Dave Wild Syl Barlow Con Cameron Doris Britt Dave Goodnight Mike Lilly and others More recent drivers include Bob Swinehart Mary Hartman John DeSeyn Chris DeMinco Dan Thiel John Walsh Kurt Thiel Russell Jaslow Charlie Cook Scott Moller Mark Eksten Brian Fallon Erik Shepard and Dave Ciufo

Many of those drove a McAllister owned car at one time during their racing career

Thanks to Fran McAllister and his committee Bob Swinehart Rosemary Goodnight Jean Enright and others for inviting our guests for the evening to Charlie Tanck and Scott Moller for manning the grill and delivering the

hamburgers and hots to Mike Brunner for taking a video recording of the program and to all who made it a good evening

And thanks to Lynn Randall (and others) for taking additional notes

Central New York Raceway Park Set for

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

Rally Safety StewardAdditional safety stewards need to be

approved Tom is working on the process needed to train new safety stewards Training material is available

Summer Rally SeriesThe last of the summer social rallies is

scheduled for October 16 A flyer printed in the October edition of Top End and can be found on the website at httpwwwflr-sccacomrally2011OctRally_flierpdf

John Werner asked about the possibility of running a simple trap rally in the spring It could be as simple as a string rally A short article as an introduction to trap rallies could be prepared for Top End

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Any changes to the winter series supplemental rules need to be brought to the next Rally meeting These include changes in factors use of Timing Allowances etc

Recycled mugs etc are being looked into for use as winter series trophies

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Solo Report ndash Brian BuchmanThe last Solo in the regionrsquos series

was held Sept 25 at Rochester Institute of Technology There were 122 entries with a large number of novices (Results can be found in this issue of Top End and on the Internet at httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles2011 Results Ed)

The last Solo counting for points was an ldquoout of regionrdquo event on Oct 2 in Western New York

The Solo end-of-season party is scheduled for Nov 13 at the Scottsville Fire Hall

Rally Report The remaining rally in the summer

series will be a social event on Oct 16 Registration opens at noon at Tom

I started working on this column and noticed that it will be November soon Where did the year go

This past weekend was the last Club Racing event of the season at Watkins Glen and as always was very interesting Along with the driverrsquos school regional races and an Enduro they held a Solo on Sunday

Trying to make the Solo season last as long as possible I ran in the autocross on Sunday at the track The course was good and the weather was fantastic if only the lot was a little smoother There were a couple of points where my car jumped around over some of the dips and humps This was the last Glen Region Solo of the season I meet some nice people and really enjoyed the day I would have to admit that my memory of the event might have been altered by the fact that I had the fastest car with fenders there and the second fastest index time I may have finally figured out how to drive the car and the season is over

Fall means that it is election time again Carl Dresie will be sending out the ballots to all members so that they can be returned either in person at the November meeting or mailed back to Carl There are several contested positions and hopefully you will take the time to vote

If you werent at the October meeting you missed quite a party Fran McAllister and Rosemary Goodnight were able to get a lot of people out to the picnic that used to race when the region was young There had to have been over 60 people at the Camp Eastman Park in Irondequoit to eat the hot dogs and hamburgers prepared by Charlie Tanck and delivered by Scott Moller As well as the food and drinks supplied by the region we had enough

other food to feed twice the number of people at the party We are talking about trying this again next year a little earlier in the season so people can bring out their cars for others to see

Now that the race season has ended we need to start looking at year-end awards Each year the board coordinates the recognition of our members The Solo Rally and Club Racing boards come together and select their award recipients and present them to the FLR board This group has the responsibility to select the recipients of each of the major awards but we need your help We cant be everywhere and see everything so if you think you have someone who deserves one of the awards please let one of us know Until next monthhellipMike

ProgramFran McAllister set up two tables

one with books on racing history that were available for the taking and one with magazines and programs from the early days of road racing in the area The latter were used to help compile information on the racing activities of Finger Lakes Region members starting in 1956 and up through 1965

Region members that had noted success racing in that time period include Bob Henderson Chuck Krueger Paul and Kemper Miller Gary Morgan Lou Gigliotti Warren Agor Bill Coykendall Chuck Krueger John McGee and others More recent drivers of note include Jerry Alaimo and Mark Dennis A few of our Canadian drivers are Duane Carter Eppie Weitz and George Comacheo (Apologies extended for any spelling errors and the names I did not catch CFD)

It was noted that in the early days of sports car racing the safety equipment could cost as much as $200 and entry fees were as low as $15 to $20 Today those numbers are $6500+ and $300

Fran asked that those racing members present give a brief description of their career in sports car racing Cars driven and the years were reviewed by Dick Powers Dave Wild Syl Barlow Con Cameron Doris Britt Dave Goodnight Mike Lilly and others More recent drivers include Bob Swinehart Mary Hartman John DeSeyn Chris DeMinco Dan Thiel John Walsh Kurt Thiel Russell Jaslow Charlie Cook Scott Moller Mark Eksten Brian Fallon Erik Shepard and Dave Ciufo

Many of those drove a McAllister owned car at one time during their racing career

Thanks to Fran McAllister and his committee Bob Swinehart Rosemary Goodnight Jean Enright and others for inviting our guests for the evening to Charlie Tanck and Scott Moller for manning the grill and delivering the

hamburgers and hots to Mike Brunner for taking a video recording of the program and to all who made it a good evening

And thanks to Lynn Randall (and others) for taking additional notes

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

Note Full financial details are available from Elizabeth

Solo Report ndash Brian BuchmanThe last Solo in the regionrsquos series

was held Sept 25 at Rochester Institute of Technology There were 122 entries with a large number of novices (Results can be found in this issue of Top End and on the Internet at httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles2011 Results Ed)

The last Solo counting for points was an ldquoout of regionrdquo event on Oct 2 in Western New York

The Solo end-of-season party is scheduled for Nov 13 at the Scottsville Fire Hall

Rally Report The remaining rally in the summer

series will be a social event on Oct 16 Registration opens at noon at Tom

I started working on this column and noticed that it will be November soon Where did the year go

This past weekend was the last Club Racing event of the season at Watkins Glen and as always was very interesting Along with the driverrsquos school regional races and an Enduro they held a Solo on Sunday

Trying to make the Solo season last as long as possible I ran in the autocross on Sunday at the track The course was good and the weather was fantastic if only the lot was a little smoother There were a couple of points where my car jumped around over some of the dips and humps This was the last Glen Region Solo of the season I meet some nice people and really enjoyed the day I would have to admit that my memory of the event might have been altered by the fact that I had the fastest car with fenders there and the second fastest index time I may have finally figured out how to drive the car and the season is over

Fall means that it is election time again Carl Dresie will be sending out the ballots to all members so that they can be returned either in person at the November meeting or mailed back to Carl There are several contested positions and hopefully you will take the time to vote

If you werent at the October meeting you missed quite a party Fran McAllister and Rosemary Goodnight were able to get a lot of people out to the picnic that used to race when the region was young There had to have been over 60 people at the Camp Eastman Park in Irondequoit to eat the hot dogs and hamburgers prepared by Charlie Tanck and delivered by Scott Moller As well as the food and drinks supplied by the region we had enough

other food to feed twice the number of people at the party We are talking about trying this again next year a little earlier in the season so people can bring out their cars for others to see

Now that the race season has ended we need to start looking at year-end awards Each year the board coordinates the recognition of our members The Solo Rally and Club Racing boards come together and select their award recipients and present them to the FLR board This group has the responsibility to select the recipients of each of the major awards but we need your help We cant be everywhere and see everything so if you think you have someone who deserves one of the awards please let one of us know Until next monthhellipMike

ProgramFran McAllister set up two tables

one with books on racing history that were available for the taking and one with magazines and programs from the early days of road racing in the area The latter were used to help compile information on the racing activities of Finger Lakes Region members starting in 1956 and up through 1965

Region members that had noted success racing in that time period include Bob Henderson Chuck Krueger Paul and Kemper Miller Gary Morgan Lou Gigliotti Warren Agor Bill Coykendall Chuck Krueger John McGee and others More recent drivers of note include Jerry Alaimo and Mark Dennis A few of our Canadian drivers are Duane Carter Eppie Weitz and George Comacheo (Apologies extended for any spelling errors and the names I did not catch CFD)

It was noted that in the early days of sports car racing the safety equipment could cost as much as $200 and entry fees were as low as $15 to $20 Today those numbers are $6500+ and $300

Fran asked that those racing members present give a brief description of their career in sports car racing Cars driven and the years were reviewed by Dick Powers Dave Wild Syl Barlow Con Cameron Doris Britt Dave Goodnight Mike Lilly and others More recent drivers include Bob Swinehart Mary Hartman John DeSeyn Chris DeMinco Dan Thiel John Walsh Kurt Thiel Russell Jaslow Charlie Cook Scott Moller Mark Eksten Brian Fallon Erik Shepard and Dave Ciufo

Many of those drove a McAllister owned car at one time during their racing career

Thanks to Fran McAllister and his committee Bob Swinehart Rosemary Goodnight Jean Enright and others for inviting our guests for the evening to Charlie Tanck and Scott Moller for manning the grill and delivering the

hamburgers and hots to Mike Brunner for taking a video recording of the program and to all who made it a good evening

And thanks to Lynn Randall (and others) for taking additional notes

Central New York Raceway Park Set for

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

ProgramFran McAllister set up two tables

one with books on racing history that were available for the taking and one with magazines and programs from the early days of road racing in the area The latter were used to help compile information on the racing activities of Finger Lakes Region members starting in 1956 and up through 1965

Region members that had noted success racing in that time period include Bob Henderson Chuck Krueger Paul and Kemper Miller Gary Morgan Lou Gigliotti Warren Agor Bill Coykendall Chuck Krueger John McGee and others More recent drivers of note include Jerry Alaimo and Mark Dennis A few of our Canadian drivers are Duane Carter Eppie Weitz and George Comacheo (Apologies extended for any spelling errors and the names I did not catch CFD)

It was noted that in the early days of sports car racing the safety equipment could cost as much as $200 and entry fees were as low as $15 to $20 Today those numbers are $6500+ and $300

Fran asked that those racing members present give a brief description of their career in sports car racing Cars driven and the years were reviewed by Dick Powers Dave Wild Syl Barlow Con Cameron Doris Britt Dave Goodnight Mike Lilly and others More recent drivers include Bob Swinehart Mary Hartman John DeSeyn Chris DeMinco Dan Thiel John Walsh Kurt Thiel Russell Jaslow Charlie Cook Scott Moller Mark Eksten Brian Fallon Erik Shepard and Dave Ciufo

Many of those drove a McAllister owned car at one time during their racing career

Thanks to Fran McAllister and his committee Bob Swinehart Rosemary Goodnight Jean Enright and others for inviting our guests for the evening to Charlie Tanck and Scott Moller for manning the grill and delivering the

hamburgers and hots to Mike Brunner for taking a video recording of the program and to all who made it a good evening

And thanks to Lynn Randall (and others) for taking additional notes

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

Central New York Raceway Park Set for

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

The following six RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Tom Langdon Mike Toombs and John Werner

Rally Awards and Christmas PartyThe party will again be at Cheap Charliersquos

in Bloomfield on December 10 There may be a few changes in menu etc Prices and times are expected to be the same as last year A flyer will be published in the November and December issues of Top End and sent to the website

RallyCross SeriesThe last few RallyCross events were

cancelled due to lack of participation

Rally Safety StewardAdditional safety stewards need to be

approved Tom is working on the process needed to train new safety stewards Training material is available

Summer Rally SeriesThe last of the summer social rallies is

scheduled for October 16 A flyer printed in the October edition of Top End and can be found on the website at httpwwwflr-sccacomrally2011OctRally_flierpdf

John Werner asked about the possibility of running a simple trap rally in the spring It could be as simple as a string rally A short article as an introduction to trap rallies could be prepared for Top End

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Any changes to the winter series supplemental rules need to be brought to the next Rally meeting These include changes in factors use of Timing Allowances etc

Recycled mugs etc are being looked into for use as winter series trophies

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

for the October 16 RoadRally Genesee Valley Colour Tour Tom Langdon will provide trophies The desire for a winter series training rally will be polled at this event

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

Many do not have room enough to accommodate a helmet needed to run Trakker at STPRreg A sunroof limits headroom even more Another option is to install a Ford 302 out of a late model Explorer in the Volvo

Diversions in the meetings may in fact be to subjects that are related to RoadRally ie Is the meeting a diversion

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Pizza may be a good business allowing the purchase of something red and Italian ndash not a Fiat

Santa may be allowed out of rehab so that he can attend the awards and Christmas party

Question what will fracking do to our rally roads The probability is an increase in ruts

Some Minirsquos are not allowed to run on dirt On pavement their handling characteristics are very dependent upon front tire pressure

Bulk mail delivery is slowing down This has impacted Top End delivery

The discussion on limited slip differentials traction control and drive train design continues

Central New York Raceway Park Set for

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

Summer Rally SeriesThe last of the summer social rallies is

John Werner asked about the possibility of running a simple trap rally in the spring It could be as simple as a string rally A short article as an introduction to trap rallies could be prepared for Top End

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Any changes to the winter series supplemental rules need to be brought to the next Rally meeting These include changes in factors use of Timing Allowances etc

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

Summer Rally SeriesThe last of the summer social rallies is

scheduled for October 16 A flyer printed in the October edition of Top End and can be found on the website at httpwwwflr-sccacomrally2011OctRally_flierpdf

John Werner asked about the possibility of running a simple trap rally in the spring It could be as simple as a string rally A short article as an introduction to trap rallies could be prepared for Top End

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Any changes to the winter series supplemental rules need to be brought to the next Rally meeting These include changes in factors use of Timing Allowances etc

Recycled mugs etc are being looked into for use as winter series trophies

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

Many do not have room enough to accommodate a helmet needed to run Trakker at STPRreg A sunroof limits headroom even more Another option is to install a Ford 302 out of a late model Explorer in the Volvo

Diversions in the meetings may in fact be to subjects that are related to RoadRally ie Is the meeting a diversion

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Pizza may be a good business allowing the purchase of something red and Italian ndash not a Fiat

Santa may be allowed out of rehab so that he can attend the awards and Christmas party

Question what will fracking do to our rally roads The probability is an increase in ruts

Some Minirsquos are not allowed to run on dirt On pavement their handling characteristics are very dependent upon front tire pressure

Bulk mail delivery is slowing down This has impacted Top End delivery

The discussion on limited slip differentials traction control and drive train design continues

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

Summer Rally SeriesThe last of the summer social rallies is

scheduled for October 16 A flyer printed in the October edition of Top End and can be found on the website at httpwwwflr-sccacomrally2011OctRally_flierpdf

John Werner asked about the possibility of running a simple trap rally in the spring It could be as simple as a string rally A short article as an introduction to trap rallies could be prepared for Top End

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Any changes to the winter series supplemental rules need to be brought to the next Rally meeting These include changes in factors use of Timing Allowances etc

Recycled mugs etc are being looked into for use as winter series trophies

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

Miscellaneous Discussions John Wernerrsquos search for a car continues

Many do not have room enough to accommodate a helmet needed to run Trakker at STPRreg A sunroof limits headroom even more Another option is to install a Ford 302 out of a late model Explorer in the Volvo

Diversions in the meetings may in fact be to subjects that are related to RoadRally ie Is the meeting a diversion

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Pizza may be a good business allowing the purchase of something red and Italian ndash not a Fiat

Santa may be allowed out of rehab so that he can attend the awards and Christmas party

Question what will fracking do to our rally roads The probability is an increase in ruts

Some Minirsquos are not allowed to run on dirt On pavement their handling characteristics are very dependent upon front tire pressure

Bulk mail delivery is slowing down This has impacted Top End delivery

The discussion on limited slip differentials traction control and drive train design continues

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

Summer Rally SeriesThe last of the summer social rallies is

scheduled for October 16 A flyer printed in the October edition of Top End and can be found on the website at httpwwwflr-sccacomrally2011OctRally_flierpdf

John Werner asked about the possibility of running a simple trap rally in the spring It could be as simple as a string rally A short article as an introduction to trap rallies could be prepared for Top End

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Any changes to the winter series supplemental rules need to be brought to the next Rally meeting These include changes in factors use of Timing Allowances etc

Recycled mugs etc are being looked into for use as winter series trophies

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

Many do not have room enough to accommodate a helmet needed to run Trakker at STPRreg A sunroof limits headroom even more Another option is to install a Ford 302 out of a late model Explorer in the Volvo

Diversions in the meetings may in fact be to subjects that are related to RoadRally ie Is the meeting a diversion

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Pizza may be a good business allowing the purchase of something red and Italian ndash not a Fiat

Santa may be allowed out of rehab so that he can attend the awards and Christmas party

Question what will fracking do to our rally roads The probability is an increase in ruts

Some Minirsquos are not allowed to run on dirt On pavement their handling characteristics are very dependent upon front tire pressure

Bulk mail delivery is slowing down This has impacted Top End delivery

The discussion on limited slip differentials traction control and drive train design continues

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

John Werner asked about the possibility of running a simple trap rally in the spring It could be as simple as a string rally A short article as an introduction to trap rallies could be prepared for Top End

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Any changes to the winter series supplemental rules need to be brought to the next Rally meeting These include changes in factors use of Timing Allowances etc

Recycled mugs etc are being looked into for use as winter series trophies

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

Many do not have room enough to accommodate a helmet needed to run Trakker at STPRreg A sunroof limits headroom even more Another option is to install a Ford 302 out of a late model Explorer in the Volvo

Diversions in the meetings may in fact be to subjects that are related to RoadRally ie Is the meeting a diversion

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Pizza may be a good business allowing the purchase of something red and Italian ndash not a Fiat

Santa may be allowed out of rehab so that he can attend the awards and Christmas party

Question what will fracking do to our rally roads The probability is an increase in ruts

Some Minirsquos are not allowed to run on dirt On pavement their handling characteristics are very dependent upon front tire pressure

Bulk mail delivery is slowing down This has impacted Top End delivery

The discussion on limited slip differentials traction control and drive train design continues

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Any changes to the winter series supplemental rules need to be brought to the next Rally meeting These include changes in factors use of Timing Allowances etc

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

Many do not have room enough to accommodate a helmet needed to run Trakker at STPRreg A sunroof limits headroom even more Another option is to install a Ford 302 out of a late model Explorer in the Volvo

Diversions in the meetings may in fact be to subjects that are related to RoadRally ie Is the meeting a diversion

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Pizza may be a good business allowing the purchase of something red and Italian ndash not a Fiat

Santa may be allowed out of rehab so that he can attend the awards and Christmas party

Question what will fracking do to our rally roads The probability is an increase in ruts

Some Minirsquos are not allowed to run on dirt On pavement their handling characteristics are very dependent upon front tire pressure

Bulk mail delivery is slowing down This has impacted Top End delivery

Central New York Raceway Park Set for

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

Central New York Raceway Park Set for

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided

The schedule continues to be every two weeks starting on January 7 The Finger Lakes Regionrsquos year-end party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally are possible conflicts The year-end party dates being considered are the 14th and 28th No information has been received on the Wellsboro Winter Rally Current rallymaster schedule is First ndash Alan Smith Second ndash Gary Thomas Third ndash John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Karl Haltiner needs to be contacted regarding being rallymaster for one of the events The March rally may be devoted to paved roads

Earlier starts and shorter rallies allow the use of ending sites that close at midnight

There is no news on the WINTR series other than an earlier comment on conducting a summer rally

Miscellaneous Discussions John Wernerrsquos search for a car continues

Many do not have room enough to accommodate a helmet needed to run Trakker at STPRreg A sunroof limits headroom even more Another option is to install a Ford 302 out of a late model Explorer in the Volvo

Diversions in the meetings may in fact be to subjects that are related to RoadRally ie Is the meeting a diversion

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Pizza may be a good business allowing the purchase of something red and Italian ndash not a Fiat

Santa may be allowed out of rehab so that he can attend the awards and Christmas party

Question what will fracking do to our rally roads The probability is an increase in ruts

Some Minirsquos are not allowed to run on dirt On pavement their handling characteristics are very dependent upon front tire pressure

Bulk mail delivery is slowing down This has impacted Top End delivery

The discussion on limited slip differentials traction control and drive train design continues

Central New York Raceway Park Set for

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

Miscellaneous Discussions John Wernerrsquos search for a car continues

Many do not have room enough to accommodate a helmet needed to run Trakker at STPRreg A sunroof limits headroom even more Another option is to install a Ford 302 out of a late model Explorer in the Volvo

Diversions in the meetings may in fact be to subjects that are related to RoadRally ie Is the meeting a diversion

The November meeting may be devoted to a mugtrophy cleaning session

The ldquorally boxrdquo will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed

Pizza may be a good business allowing the purchase of something red and Italian ndash not a Fiat

Santa may be allowed out of rehab so that he can attend the awards and Christmas party

Question what will fracking do to our rally roads The probability is an increase in ruts

Some Minirsquos are not allowed to run on dirt On pavement their handling characteristics are very dependent upon front tire pressure

Bulk mail delivery is slowing down This has impacted Top End delivery

Central New York Raceway Park Set for

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Central New York Raceway Park Set for

Phase 1 of ConstructionWeedsport NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square NY is set for the spring of 2012 The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuses Hancock International Airport Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track Donnelly Partners LLC led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers have secured the funding for phase 1 and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking

Ive spent the last 2 years planning and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative entertaining and profitable mutli-use facility said Glenn Donnelly

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers Robert Lutz Todd Town Tony Komuda Jr Peter Mack Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd Our investors are our biggest assets Highly involved tremendously talented and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success says Donnelly

Along with an experienced group of investors the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project Weve worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the constructionrdquo said Donnelly

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound focus turns to phase 1 of construction Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course drag strip and a half-mile synthetic dirt track The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage and a 18th mile or 14-mile drag strip Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses says

Donnelly Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course The half-mile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites a 300 seat buffet restaurant and an upscale streak house style restaurant The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile claims Donnelly

To highlight all the action at the facility CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

Summer Rally SeriesThe last of the summer social rallies is

scheduled for October 16 A flyer printed in the October edition of Top End and can be found on the website at httpwwwflr-sccacomrally2011OctRally_flierpdf

John Werner asked about the possibility of running a simple trap rally in the spring It could be as simple as a string rally A short article as an introduction to trap rallies could be prepared for Top End

Training RallyA possible training and dust off the

cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct meeting

Winter Rally SeriesFive events are being planned for the

winter rally series Tentative dates are Jan 7 Jan 21 Feb 4 Feb 18 and March 3 Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally Rallymasters that have been named so far are Alan Smith Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smithrsquos rally John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester

Wellsboro Winter RallyNegotiations are underway to run the

Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the

WINTR series

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved The new helmets will go to the Solo program the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox a Getrag 285 Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled (Blankety-Blank lawyers) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions

Winter Rally Series

The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed Tom Langdon will be updating them This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series

Copies were distributed for the review Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $79323 or the price of a pitcher

Fee structure for the events will not be changed An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget Should the worker food allowance be changed

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made Cleanup and updating will continue Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided
