I know that it is only July, but at the meeting on this coming Tuesday, nominations will be opened till the Sept. membership meeting. That give everyone 2 full months to nominate someone or nominate themselves into the election process for the 2011 BOD.
The positions will be the same….so if you think you can take the time, or know someone that can, to plan and execute 2 or 3 different schedules of events next year; then email any of the board members in the contact section your nominations. It isn’t required to nominate people to all of the positions, you can basically do as you please regarding it. The only real rule to it is that the person you are nominating has to be a current member of the SRRSCCA.
These nominations will be taken till Sept. Then a ballot will be formed and the elections will take place.
The positions are as follows.
Regional Executive
Asst. Regional Executive
Secratary
Treasurer
Editor
3 positions of Activity Directors
So…email one of us your nominations…and we will see you at the meetings.
Thanks.
I’m gonna have the big grill out feeding the Evo people so we might as well put it to good use, show up around 2- bring what you want and I’ll grill it up. I’ll have some stuff on hand, if you want something or are bringing something let me know!
Registration and Tech will open up right at 3, close at 4… drivers meeting will be at 4:35. Depending on Evo the course should be open for walking at 4… if not it will be open after the meeting… either way I want 1st car on course by 5.

As we did last season…the SRRSCCA is providing the opportunity of participating in the Evolution AutoX schools.
Links to the Evolution driving school site
http://www.evoschool.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=163 Evo I registration June 24
http://www.evoschool.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=204 Evo II registration June 25
Cost is $250 per class. You have to have been through the Evo I class before you can participate in Evo II. The instructors are national level champs and drivers, and the instruction and amount of seat time is well worth the price of the classes. There are still slots available so if your interested sign up soon.
The afternoon of the 24th, right after the Evo I class is done…will be the third installment of the NocternoX of the season. Since the Evo School will be going till 4, things will run a little different then normal. Firstly, while the school is going on, we won’t be inside of the gates. So registration and tech will happen outside of the gates. Registration will be set up near the gate opening, and tech will be ran in the parking area somehow. If everyone works together and we have a good amount of people come early to help out with tech and registration, things should be ready to roll once the event site is clear. Once the school is over, course will be built, drivers meeting will hopefully be done, pull in cars, and away we go.
Pre-registration is open and waiting for the 24th autox. For you that seem to be late getting to it, the online registration will be closed on the 22 at around midnight.
Interesting note, the Evo School instructors last year, saw that we were running an event after the school, and were super bummed that they didn’t bring cars to drive. They were super interested in running a “night” event, apparently they are unique to us. This year sounds different. Some of the instructors have indicated that they are bringing their personal cars, to run in the event. So come run with what are referred to as the “big dogs.”
See you all out there…

….Really? Is that how we’d like to represent? I don’t think that’s the case, but I have seen a trend that’s become cause for concern. Some may argue that it’s somewhat unavoidable, considering we’re the 1st in region with most growth from last season to this. I’d say that’s an excuse to be lazy while showing ones own lack of concern for the face of our sport not to mention the relationship with our venue providers. So I urge you to think of every property we get to utilize, the way we take care of the land when we’re looking for something other than asphalt to walk on.
When we can leave a venue as clean or cleaner than we found it, we demonstrate the integrity of our sport and character of our people.
I’d like to ask each person who reads this to stand up and represent, plus I’m tired of spending my time picking up trash when I could be picking up cones.

As the Asst. RE I have been very excited every month to read the results of the Membership Drive contest that the SCCA is tracking…
I don’t even know what we win actually.
For the third straight month the SRRSCCA has topped the charts for a small region’s growth.
For the month of April the SRRSCCA grew an incredible 27%. Just a note 2nd in the country for small region was our closest club the EISCCA (props to Cal and the crew).
So to all of you that are involved. To anyone that ever told anyone to come check out our events, a big thank you from myself and the SRRSCCA board.

June 19th will go down in the annals of HISTORY for SRRSCCA. Have I got your attention yet? Yeah, I thought as much… You’re ALL going to be a part of HISTORY.
Ok, so here it is…SRRSCCA will be doing something I don’t think too many clubs can Claim. We’re going to run two events simultaneously. Yeah, you read that right. You could say a DoubleHeader day of RACING…I like that; it has a nice ring to it.
Let me try to put all of this into perspective so you understand just how much of a challenge this will be. SRRSCCA will be using TWO Separate Timing Systems, TWO Separate Tech Teams, TWO Separate Safety Stewarts, TWO Separate Event Masters, TWO Separate Insurance policies, Two Separate of everything. Are you starting to get a grasp on the enormity of this endeavor?
OK…I’ve saved the best news of all for last…SRRSCCA has enough equipment and Trained personnel to accomplish ALL of the above. I don’t know about you but that is an AMAZING testament to the dedication and commitment of its members. So if you were pondering over my opening statement referring to History making. Do you believe me now?
This years Jerome event weekend will be hosted by the Eastern Idaho SCCA.
Their website is at: http://www.eisccax.com//
They do offer online registration at: http://www.eiscc.info/registration.html
This is always a fun event weekend. You get the opportunity to meet the EI guys at a very laid back event. The surface is slick, and the courses are tight and demanding. Cal and the Eastern Idaho guys are super fun to run with. It gives you extra participation points for going, and a chance to get some class points…Its only a hour or so away so why not check it out.
Place: MUGGSYS ***501 S. Main St***Meridian, Idaho
Time: 7:00pm June 15, 2010
You are all invited to sit in, toss your dimes worth into discussions, bring up ideas, smile and laugh a lot…OR you can just sit there, drink your beer and laugh at the rest of us…
We try to keep it light but take care of business to keep the events and club moving in the right direction.
If you want to know more or get involved in the operations come on down.
PS…They’ve got Booze, Beer and Pretty Waitresses. (Shussh…Don’t let your wife read that part tho…LOL)
Woohooo…
Ah, the sites and sounds of two days of racing… Engines Exhaust tones, laughter and smiles, joking – ribbing, the undeniable novice look of excitement, trembling fingers, tire smoking starts and spins, the smell of a hot engine and distinct smell of burnt clutch and brakes…. this all REFUELS the Racers soul as Biscuits and Gravy fuels our body. If none of that just doesn’t put a smile on your face then slap my feet ‘cause you ain’t no Racer… Now tell me I’m wrong?????
What a weekend huh? If you didn’t have fun or get your EEHAA fix for SRRSCCA AutoX racing Memorial Day weekend … then you need your head examined.
Saturday gave you a challenging 6 runs of Enduro and Sunday produced 9 lightning fast runs by a Newby course designer.
