By the time you read this our big race weekend will have come and gone The Fun One was put together by Chris DeMinco and Elizabeth Thiel They put in a lot of time and effort into having the same races that we conduct every year and to do it with less money Of course we still have the world famous (assuming that you live in a small world) pig roast and T-shirts Irsquom writing this the weekend before the race but I know it will be a successful event In1981when Ifirstheard theterm ldquoThe Fun Onerdquo I wondered how a group of people could put on a race that they knew ahead of time would be fun I thought that making that type of declaration was a little presumptuous but silly me I didnrsquot know the people putting on the race back then and that they were putting on a fun event So I went to my first Fun One I was attending college in Rochester and had some trouble getting my class work done and driving to Watkins Glen Low and behold the group calling themselves the Finger Lakes Region did know what they were doing when they named the Fun One So every year we have worked to keep the race meaningful and truly fun
Italkedabouttheelectionofofficersin last monthrsquos column Unfortunately the nominating committee was having problems getting a slate of candidates together Of course there are many things that I want to say about people not stepping up to help run the region I know that there are people out there
who have been consumers of what the region puts on every year and if nothing else they may want to make sure that their activity continues Okay back to the election due to the problems with getting the slate together the annual meetingandtheelectionofofficersisgoing to be delayed until November
We had a group of people who drove the 18 hours to compete in the 40th Tire Rack Solo National Championships Unfortunately not everyone could win but we do have a national champion Jeff Colegrove who just edged out his brother inFModified Irsquomsure thereare some stories about the nationals and hopefully someone will take the timetowriteafirst-handreportoftheirexperience
The second annual Old Driverrsquos picnic was the Tuesday night before the Fun One This event was a rousing success last year and I hope that we were able to duplicate that again this year
The SCCA National Championship RunOffsreg start up the week after the Fun One This year they are trying to cut down the number of days the competitors are required to be at the track Hopefully this will make it possible for more drivers to compete If Irsquom not mistaken we unfortunately are not going to have any region drivers competing this year at the RunOffs
Now that the racing and Solo seasons are over we can look forward to the fall RoadRallys the Winter Rally Series and the continuation of the RallyCross seasonDuetoschedulingconflictsthefirstRallyCrosseventtobeheldatthePerry-Warsaw airport has been moved to Perryrsquos Park It would be great for us to develop another site to give Brucersquos fieldalittlerest
Well I have decided that this column must now come to an end
So until next monthhellipMike

By the time you read this our big race weekend will have come and gone The Fun One was put together by Chris DeMinco and Elizabeth Thiel They put in a lot of time and effort into having the same races that we conduct every year and to do it with less money Of course we still have the world famous (assuming that you live in a small world) pig roast and T-shirts Irsquom writing this the weekend before the race but I know it will be a successful event In1981when Ifirstheard theterm ldquoThe Fun Onerdquo I wondered how a group of people could put on a race that they knew ahead of time would be fun I thought that making that type of declaration was a little presumptuous but silly me I didnrsquot know the people putting on the race back then and that they were putting on a fun event So I went to my first Fun One I was attending college in Rochester and had some trouble getting my class work done and driving to Watkins Glen Low and behold the group calling themselves the Finger Lakes Region did know what they were doing when they named the Fun One So every year we have worked to keep the race meaningful and truly fun
Italkedabouttheelectionofofficersin last monthrsquos column Unfortunately the nominating committee was having problems getting a slate of candidates together Of course there are many things that I want to say about people not stepping up to help run the region I know that there are people out there
who have been consumers of what the region puts on every year and if nothing else they may want to make sure that their activity continues Okay back to the election due to the problems with getting the slate together the annual meetingandtheelectionofofficersisgoing to be delayed until November
We had a group of people who drove the 18 hours to compete in the 40th Tire Rack Solo National Championships Unfortunately not everyone could win but we do have a national champion Jeff Colegrove who just edged out his brother inFModified Irsquomsure thereare some stories about the nationals and hopefully someone will take the timetowriteafirst-handreportoftheirexperience
The second annual Old Driverrsquos picnic was the Tuesday night before the Fun One This event was a rousing success last year and I hope that we were able to duplicate that again this year
The SCCA National Championship RunOffsreg start up the week after the Fun One This year they are trying to cut down the number of days the competitors are required to be at the track Hopefully this will make it possible for more drivers to compete If Irsquom not mistaken we unfortunately are not going to have any region drivers competing this year at the RunOffs
Now that the racing and Solo seasons are over we can look forward to the fall RoadRallys the Winter Rally Series and the continuation of the RallyCross seasonDuetoschedulingconflictsthefirstRallyCrosseventtobeheldatthePerry-Warsaw airport has been moved to Perryrsquos Park It would be great for us to develop another site to give Brucersquos fieldalittlerest

By the time you read this our big race weekend will have come and gone The Fun One was put together by Chris DeMinco and Elizabeth Thiel They put in a lot of time and effort into having the same races that we conduct every year and to do it with less money Of course we still have the world famous (assuming that you live in a small world) pig roast and T-shirts Irsquom writing this the weekend before the race but I know it will be a successful event In1981when Ifirstheard theterm ldquoThe Fun Onerdquo I wondered how a group of people could put on a race that they knew ahead of time would be fun I thought that making that type of declaration was a little presumptuous but silly me I didnrsquot know the people putting on the race back then and that they were putting on a fun event So I went to my first Fun One I was attending college in Rochester and had some trouble getting my class work done and driving to Watkins Glen Low and behold the group calling themselves the Finger Lakes Region did know what they were doing when they named the Fun One So every year we have worked to keep the race meaningful and truly fun
Italkedabouttheelectionofofficersin last monthrsquos column Unfortunately the nominating committee was having problems getting a slate of candidates together Of course there are many things that I want to say about people not stepping up to help run the region I know that there are people out there
who have been consumers of what the region puts on every year and if nothing else they may want to make sure that their activity continues Okay back to the election due to the problems with getting the slate together the annual meetingandtheelectionofofficersisgoing to be delayed until November
We had a group of people who drove the 18 hours to compete in the 40th Tire Rack Solo National Championships Unfortunately not everyone could win but we do have a national champion Jeff Colegrove who just edged out his brother inFModified Irsquomsure thereare some stories about the nationals and hopefully someone will take the timetowriteafirst-handreportoftheirexperience
The second annual Old Driverrsquos picnic was the Tuesday night before the Fun One This event was a rousing success last year and I hope that we were able to duplicate that again this year
The SCCA National Championship RunOffsreg start up the week after the Fun One This year they are trying to cut down the number of days the competitors are required to be at the track Hopefully this will make it possible for more drivers to compete If Irsquom not mistaken we unfortunately are not going to have any region drivers competing this year at the RunOffs
Now that the racing and Solo seasons are over we can look forward to the fall RoadRallys the Winter Rally Series and the continuation of the RallyCross seasonDuetoschedulingconflictsthefirstRallyCrosseventtobeheldatthePerry-Warsaw airport has been moved to Perryrsquos Park It would be great for us to develop another site to give Brucersquos fieldalittlerest
Well I have decided that this column must now come to an end
So until next monthhellipMike

By the time you read this our big race weekend will have come and gone The Fun One was put together by Chris DeMinco and Elizabeth Thiel They put in a lot of time and effort into having the same races that we conduct every year and to do it with less money Of course we still have the world famous (assuming that you live in a small world) pig roast and T-shirts Irsquom writing this the weekend before the race but I know it will be a successful event In1981when Ifirstheard theterm ldquoThe Fun Onerdquo I wondered how a group of people could put on a race that they knew ahead of time would be fun I thought that making that type of declaration was a little presumptuous but silly me I didnrsquot know the people putting on the race back then and that they were putting on a fun event So I went to my first Fun One I was attending college in Rochester and had some trouble getting my class work done and driving to Watkins Glen Low and behold the group calling themselves the Finger Lakes Region did know what they were doing when they named the Fun One So every year we have worked to keep the race meaningful and truly fun
Italkedabouttheelectionofofficersin last monthrsquos column Unfortunately the nominating committee was having problems getting a slate of candidates together Of course there are many things that I want to say about people not stepping up to help run the region I know that there are people out there
who have been consumers of what the region puts on every year and if nothing else they may want to make sure that their activity continues Okay back to the election due to the problems with getting the slate together the annual meetingandtheelectionofofficersisgoing to be delayed until November
We had a group of people who drove the 18 hours to compete in the 40th Tire Rack Solo National Championships Unfortunately not everyone could win but we do have a national champion Jeff Colegrove who just edged out his brother inFModified Irsquomsure thereare some stories about the nationals and hopefully someone will take the timetowriteafirst-handreportoftheirexperience
The second annual Old Driverrsquos picnic was the Tuesday night before the Fun One This event was a rousing success last year and I hope that we were able to duplicate that again this year
The SCCA National Championship RunOffsreg start up the week after the Fun One This year they are trying to cut down the number of days the competitors are required to be at the track Hopefully this will make it possible for more drivers to compete If Irsquom not mistaken we unfortunately are not going to have any region drivers competing this year at the RunOffs
Now that the racing and Solo seasons are over we can look forward to the fall RoadRallys the Winter Rally Series and the continuation of the RallyCross seasonDuetoschedulingconflictsthefirstRallyCrosseventtobeheldatthePerry-Warsaw airport has been moved to Perryrsquos Park It would be great for us to develop another site to give Brucersquos fieldalittlerest
Well I have decided that this column must now come to an end
So until next monthhellipMike

and tracks all over the world for events ranging from endurance road racing to NASCAR IndyCar and Formula 1
He is a member of organizations such as the esteemed invitation-only Road Racing Drivers Club as well the SCCA
I try to do six races a year myself at tracks like Lime Rock Road America Road Atlanta Moroso VIR and that little track in [West] Virginia Summit Point he said

My passion is the racing people they absolutely intrigue me Gorsline said I have lots of stories to tell so there will be some interesting questions of your audience
Not the executive who prefers to sit behind a desk Gorsline attends about 50 races a year to offer trackside support to drivers he considers not only clients but also friendsmdashnames familiar to racing enthusiasts such as Earnhardt Mears Rahal Sullivan and Redmond His agenda includes some of the top events
and tracks all over the world for events ranging from endurance road racing to NASCAR IndyCar and Formula 1
He is a member of organizations such as the esteemed invitation-only Road Racing Drivers Club as well the SCCA
I try to do six races a year myself at tracks like Lime Rock Road America Road Atlanta Moroso VIR and that little track in [West] Virginia Summit Point he said
