First, I would like to say what a great job Steve Catlin did as Competition Director. He has laid a great foundation for our autocross program. I don’t expect to out perform him, but add some new ideas to what we have in place.
Here is a little background on me. I came into this position at the "urging" of some board members on a fateful Sunday afternoon. I do enjoy autocross having done it off and on for ten years. I also became addicted to road course events about seven years ago and am hooked. However, the most enjoyable driving for me is the road rally. I have been involved in this for almost nine years. As you may have figured out by now, I love being behind the wheel.
This time of the year a lot of work is being done to update our procedures, set the schedule and have everything is place by March. We have met with Lincoln Tech and are waiting on their board approval for use of their parking lot for our events.
A couple new things this year will include a club only event designed to introduce more members to autocross. It will happen in March, so watch for it in future newsletters. Also we will be adding on course skill training to our autocross school. In addition to the classroom session, attendees will learn how to better navigate certain parts of a autocross course.
I hope to see you out on the autocross course this year!
