I thought I had better let you know that both of my computers are working better today I was able to find an old keyboard so that I could get my desktop up and running in ldquoSafe Moderdquo and then I could remove a patch and get the machine running again
So that is all that happened between last month and now Wait there was a race that the region put on in Ohio in June We once again resurrected Westward Ho and we are hoping that we will break even As I said last month we are giving a 10 discount at the Fun One this fall to anyone who entered Westward Ho Marsha and I heard some crews talking about making the trip to Watkins Glen for the first time to run in the Fun One So I think that we are going to find a bump in entry come September I need to thank Lew and Wilma Giesy for all of the work they put into the race We have changed the format the past couple of times we ran the event and assuming that we return next year Irsquom thinking that we should follow the same format we ran this year
The weekend before Westward I and a quite a few region member made the trip to Ayer MA for the Solo National Tour This two day event was held at an old Army airbase northeast of Boston We had a good time but I keep hoping that I figure how to drive the car better It was easy when I could blame the car now I have trouble because I know the car is good and itrsquos only my driving to blame So I keep going to events and keep trying to learn how to drive my car
I blew it I was supposed to have the nominating committee together by the July 1 For some reason I always
have trouble remembering to do this on time I know that this is important because we have had to delay the vote a couple of years ago so that we could get the information out So if someone calls you and asks you to run for office please take the time and think about it We currently have a racing centric board of directors and I would like to see more involvement from rally and solo competitors
Until next monthMike

MembershipRecognition
George Morris and Gene DinkelRemembrances by Bob Henderson
It is my distinct pleasure this evening to offer special recognition to two very long term members George Morris and Gene Dinkel
George joined the Finger Lakes Region in 1956 and Gene joined in 1959Both have served as RE and Assistant RE Both have been members of the Board of Directors for multiple years Both have served as editors of Top End
George was Comp Board Chairman for nearly ten years Gene has been chairman of both our National Race and the Fun One several times Wellyou get the idea
No wonder that each of them has received the ldquoOutstanding Contribution to the Regionrdquo award the Regionrsquos highest honor in more than one year
George and Gene were also passionate race drivers George has raced for a span of more than fifty years and still owns most of the cars that he raced including a Mercedes Benz 190SL that was his first race car George was his own engineer mechanic and preparer He prepared his race cars HIS way and he did it RIGHT and it showed in his finishing record
Gene raced a Pinto and a Buick for several years and was also a ldquocollectorrdquo He only recently sold his Buick race car Gene was a PR and advertizing person by trade He brought those skills to the Region in his race events by writing about them and our members
10 June 2012TOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP END
George was honored last September by induction into the Watkins Glen Driversrsquo Walk of Fame for his long and distinguished career of racing at the Glen
We are fortunate that both George and Gene are with us this evening You guys have been a very meaningful part of the heart and soul and success of the Finger Lakes Region for over fifty years THANK YOU We will always treasure your friendshop and contributions to Finger Lakes Region
Bill Coykendall FLR National Road Racing Champion 45 year member
Bill joined FLR in 1967 he owned an MGB using it to compete in gymkhanas (ask the solo driver what this was) He ran with mild success against competitors such as Dave Elder The next year he bought an old tired Bug Eye Sprite and ran dirt track events at the fairgrounds These were fun events and Bill never planned on going on much further with competitive driving His next vehicle to enter the picture was a Z28 Camaro He did well in this car but never did beat a guy named Red Kozinski
Bill finally decided to go racing and being wise he rented a car from Barry Budlong a Datsun 510 for his driver school Bill said that the school was a revelation of many things to him Quoting Bill ldquoThis was not just about how to drive but also a lot about your own psyche which you might not have been awarerdquo
As it turned out Bill could go no further in his schooling process as Lou Gigliotti was going to qualify for the Runoffs at Road Atlanta in it Ultimately Lou did qualify and went to the national runoffs in it At the end of the season Bill purchased that car and took it to his second driver school at Summit Point
Then the race team of ldquoChiropractic on the Moverdquo began His first volunteer crew member was Roger Meredith and then Mike Plain offered his help followed by Jim McBride and Lyn Wechsler Not everyone starts out with a crew consisting of an RE and member of the BOD and the regional Flag Marshal They registered the first win at Nelson Ledges followed by two wins at the Glen 100 In 1975 Showroom stock became a national class All in all with six races in nine weeks three engine changes on set of rings and a lot of education Bill became received his National Competition License In July of 1976 Bill won his first national race in a very appropriate place Watkins Glen After that he burst on the national scene like a July firecracker
Billrsquos wife Missy joined FLR in 1975 and took to the racing life with great grace She and four kids travelled to all the races in their motor home packing and unpacking making meals and doing laundry each week for the whole racing season Between weekends Bill also had an active Chiropractic office in Greece hence the name of the place that paid the racing expenses
Before this driving bug struck Bill was Chief of Race Communications Association of which he is very proud RCA gave Bill a connection to motor racing the few drivers have He met and dealt with some of the most prestigious names in the racing world Bill was also FLR Flag Marshal until he began racing
Bill continued to race throughout the late 70s competing with and beating such well known racers as Rob Dyson Bob Leitzenger and Paul (PL) Newman On his first trip to the Runoffs he came in second in his class only beaten by Elliott Forbes Robinson The following year he took first making him a one of only four National Champions that FLR has produced Needless to say He won the Rookie Driver of the year trophy in 1975 Most Improved Driver in 1970 and in 1980 won FLR Driver of the Year
Tom Palmer ldquoAs I moved from my first car a lsquo41
Ford ($50 barn find) to a lsquo52 Chevy (with a Buick V8 engine) and then at age 20 to a sharp used lsquo60 Austin Healey 3000 roadster (I was making $155hr at the time)I gain a love of ldquosports carsrdquo I donrsquot know how I head of SCCA but I found FLR at the old Colonial Hotel in 1967 and joined There were less than 100 members back then most owning some form of imported fun car and about 70 or so would show up every month for meetings Great meetings and a great bunch of peoplethey rallied raced crewed and worked Cars and car talk was the focus And maybe a little beer
Stuffed a Ford 289 V8 into my Healey a very fun car to drive Then I decided to go to Driver School At the time I was owner of ldquoOl Yeller VIIrdquonot really the correct car for a novice High horsepower Corvette F1 engine in a lightweight car It had been stored for quite a whilefinally got it running the night before the event and actually moving (after we unfroze the clutch) Hit the track with no idea about the carrsquos handling or braking With the same tires it had been sitting on for yearsthey had the grip of polished concrete
Proud to have been one of the founding STPR Pro Rally members along with Bob Henderson Bill Leathersich John Robinson and others We had to take multiple trips to Wellsboro just to convince the local authorities that we werenrsquot the Hellrsquos angels of the automobile world
With apology I was pretty active in FLR until I found another interestThe National Warplane Museum Got to spend many hours working of the WW2 warbirds After having the controls of our B17 handed to me for an hour one day I caught the flying bug and went on to get my pilotrsquos permit I was Flight Line Chief of the ldquoWings of Eaglesrdquo Air Show for quite a few yearsone of the best warbird air shows in the country at the time Good fortune of hooking up with Rochesterrsquos own Bob Tullius each year he and Brian with show up with 3 planes Bobrsquos planes are as clean as his Group 44 cars especially his P51 Mustang

Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition

I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

I thought I had better let you know that both of my computers are working better today I was able to find an old keyboard so that I could get my desktop up and running in ldquoSafe Moderdquo and then I could remove a patch and get the machine running again
So that is all that happened between last month and now Wait there was a race that the region put on in Ohio in June We once again resurrected Westward Ho and we are hoping that we will break even As I said last month we are giving a 10 discount at the Fun One this fall to anyone who entered Westward Ho Marsha and I heard some crews talking about making the trip to Watkins Glen for the first time to run in the Fun One So I think that we are going to find a bump in entry come September I need to thank Lew and Wilma Giesy for all of the work they put into the race We have changed the format the past couple of times we ran the event and assuming that we return next year Irsquom thinking that we should follow the same format we ran this year
The weekend before Westward I and a quite a few region member made the trip to Ayer MA for the Solo National Tour This two day event was held at an old Army airbase northeast of Boston We had a good time but I keep hoping that I figure how to drive the car better It was easy when I could blame the car now I have trouble because I know the car is good and itrsquos only my driving to blame So I keep going to events and keep trying to learn how to drive my car
I blew it I was supposed to have the nominating committee together by the July 1 For some reason I always
have trouble remembering to do this on time I know that this is important because we have had to delay the vote a couple of years ago so that we could get the information out So if someone calls you and asks you to run for office please take the time and think about it We currently have a racing centric board of directors and I would like to see more involvement from rally and solo competitors
Until next monthMike

George Morris and Gene DinkelRemembrances by Bob Henderson
It is my distinct pleasure this evening to offer special recognition to two very long term members George Morris and Gene Dinkel
George joined the Finger Lakes Region in 1956 and Gene joined in 1959Both have served as RE and Assistant RE Both have been members of the Board of Directors for multiple years Both have served as editors of Top End
George was Comp Board Chairman for nearly ten years Gene has been chairman of both our National Race and the Fun One several times Wellyou get the idea
No wonder that each of them has received the ldquoOutstanding Contribution to the Regionrdquo award the Regionrsquos highest honor in more than one year
George and Gene were also passionate race drivers George has raced for a span of more than fifty years and still owns most of the cars that he raced including a Mercedes Benz 190SL that was his first race car George was his own engineer mechanic and preparer He prepared his race cars HIS way and he did it RIGHT and it showed in his finishing record
Gene raced a Pinto and a Buick for several years and was also a ldquocollectorrdquo He only recently sold his Buick race car Gene was a PR and advertizing person by trade He brought those skills to the Region in his race events by writing about them and our members
10 June 2012TOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP END
George was honored last September by induction into the Watkins Glen Driversrsquo Walk of Fame for his long and distinguished career of racing at the Glen
We are fortunate that both George and Gene are with us this evening You guys have been a very meaningful part of the heart and soul and success of the Finger Lakes Region for over fifty years THANK YOU We will always treasure your friendshop and contributions to Finger Lakes Region
Bill Coykendall FLR National Road Racing Champion 45 year member
Bill joined FLR in 1967 he owned an MGB using it to compete in gymkhanas (ask the solo driver what this was) He ran with mild success against competitors such as Dave Elder The next year he bought an old tired Bug Eye Sprite and ran dirt track events at the fairgrounds These were fun events and Bill never planned on going on much further with competitive driving His next vehicle to enter the picture was a Z28 Camaro He did well in this car but never did beat a guy named Red Kozinski
Bill finally decided to go racing and being wise he rented a car from Barry Budlong a Datsun 510 for his driver school Bill said that the school was a revelation of many things to him Quoting Bill ldquoThis was not just about how to drive but also a lot about your own psyche which you might not have been awarerdquo
As it turned out Bill could go no further in his schooling process as Lou Gigliotti was going to qualify for the Runoffs at Road Atlanta in it Ultimately Lou did qualify and went to the national runoffs in it At the end of the season Bill purchased that car and took it to his second driver school at Summit Point
Then the race team of ldquoChiropractic on the Moverdquo began His first volunteer crew member was Roger Meredith and then Mike Plain offered his help followed by Jim McBride and Lyn Wechsler Not everyone starts out with a crew consisting of an RE and member of the BOD and the regional Flag Marshal They registered the first win at Nelson Ledges followed by two wins at the Glen 100 In 1975 Showroom stock became a national class All in all with six races in nine weeks three engine changes on set of rings and a lot of education Bill became received his National Competition License In July of 1976 Bill won his first national race in a very appropriate place Watkins Glen After that he burst on the national scene like a July firecracker
Billrsquos wife Missy joined FLR in 1975 and took to the racing life with great grace She and four kids travelled to all the races in their motor home packing and unpacking making meals and doing laundry each week for the whole racing season Between weekends Bill also had an active Chiropractic office in Greece hence the name of the place that paid the racing expenses
Before this driving bug struck Bill was Chief of Race Communications Association of which he is very proud RCA gave Bill a connection to motor racing the few drivers have He met and dealt with some of the most prestigious names in the racing world Bill was also FLR Flag Marshal until he began racing
Bill continued to race throughout the late 70s competing with and beating such well known racers as Rob Dyson Bob Leitzenger and Paul (PL) Newman On his first trip to the Runoffs he came in second in his class only beaten by Elliott Forbes Robinson The following year he took first making him a one of only four National Champions that FLR has produced Needless to say He won the Rookie Driver of the year trophy in 1975 Most Improved Driver in 1970 and in 1980 won FLR Driver of the Year
Tom Palmer ldquoAs I moved from my first car a lsquo41
Ford ($50 barn find) to a lsquo52 Chevy (with a Buick V8 engine) and then at age 20 to a sharp used lsquo60 Austin Healey 3000 roadster (I was making $155hr at the time)I gain a love of ldquosports carsrdquo I donrsquot know how I head of SCCA but I found FLR at the old Colonial Hotel in 1967 and joined There were less than 100 members back then most owning some form of imported fun car and about 70 or so would show up every month for meetings Great meetings and a great bunch of peoplethey rallied raced crewed and worked Cars and car talk was the focus And maybe a little beer
Stuffed a Ford 289 V8 into my Healey a very fun car to drive Then I decided to go to Driver School At the time I was owner of ldquoOl Yeller VIIrdquonot really the correct car for a novice High horsepower Corvette F1 engine in a lightweight car It had been stored for quite a whilefinally got it running the night before the event and actually moving (after we unfroze the clutch) Hit the track with no idea about the carrsquos handling or braking With the same tires it had been sitting on for yearsthey had the grip of polished concrete
Proud to have been one of the founding STPR Pro Rally members along with Bob Henderson Bill Leathersich John Robinson and others We had to take multiple trips to Wellsboro just to convince the local authorities that we werenrsquot the Hellrsquos angels of the automobile world
With apology I was pretty active in FLR until I found another interestThe National Warplane Museum Got to spend many hours working of the WW2 warbirds After having the controls of our B17 handed to me for an hour one day I caught the flying bug and went on to get my pilotrsquos permit I was Flight Line Chief of the ldquoWings of Eaglesrdquo Air Show for quite a few yearsone of the best warbird air shows in the country at the time Good fortune of hooking up with Rochesterrsquos own Bob Tullius each year he and Brian with show up with 3 planes Bobrsquos planes are as clean as his Group 44 cars especially his P51 Mustang

Heymaybe I should become a little more active again
Thank you
Wayne Scheible 45 year member
Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

I thought I had better let you know that both of my computers are working better today I was able to find an old keyboard so that I could get my desktop up and running in ldquoSafe Moderdquo and then I could remove a patch and get the machine running again
So that is all that happened between last month and now Wait there was a race that the region put on in Ohio in June We once again resurrected Westward Ho and we are hoping that we will break even As I said last month we are giving a 10 discount at the Fun One this fall to anyone who entered Westward Ho Marsha and I heard some crews talking about making the trip to Watkins Glen for the first time to run in the Fun One So I think that we are going to find a bump in entry come September I need to thank Lew and Wilma Giesy for all of the work they put into the race We have changed the format the past couple of times we ran the event and assuming that we return next year Irsquom thinking that we should follow the same format we ran this year
The weekend before Westward I and a quite a few region member made the trip to Ayer MA for the Solo National Tour This two day event was held at an old Army airbase northeast of Boston We had a good time but I keep hoping that I figure how to drive the car better It was easy when I could blame the car now I have trouble because I know the car is good and itrsquos only my driving to blame So I keep going to events and keep trying to learn how to drive my car
I blew it I was supposed to have the nominating committee together by the July 1 For some reason I always
have trouble remembering to do this on time I know that this is important because we have had to delay the vote a couple of years ago so that we could get the information out So if someone calls you and asks you to run for office please take the time and think about it We currently have a racing centric board of directors and I would like to see more involvement from rally and solo competitors
Until next monthMike

MembershipRecognition
George Morris and Gene DinkelRemembrances by Bob Henderson
It is my distinct pleasure this evening to offer special recognition to two very long term members George Morris and Gene Dinkel
George joined the Finger Lakes Region in 1956 and Gene joined in 1959Both have served as RE and Assistant RE Both have been members of the Board of Directors for multiple years Both have served as editors of Top End
George was Comp Board Chairman for nearly ten years Gene has been chairman of both our National Race and the Fun One several times Wellyou get the idea
No wonder that each of them has received the ldquoOutstanding Contribution to the Regionrdquo award the Regionrsquos highest honor in more than one year
George and Gene were also passionate race drivers George has raced for a span of more than fifty years and still owns most of the cars that he raced including a Mercedes Benz 190SL that was his first race car George was his own engineer mechanic and preparer He prepared his race cars HIS way and he did it RIGHT and it showed in his finishing record
Gene raced a Pinto and a Buick for several years and was also a ldquocollectorrdquo He only recently sold his Buick race car Gene was a PR and advertizing person by trade He brought those skills to the Region in his race events by writing about them and our members
10 June 2012TOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP END
George was honored last September by induction into the Watkins Glen Driversrsquo Walk of Fame for his long and distinguished career of racing at the Glen
We are fortunate that both George and Gene are with us this evening You guys have been a very meaningful part of the heart and soul and success of the Finger Lakes Region for over fifty years THANK YOU We will always treasure your friendshop and contributions to Finger Lakes Region
Bill Coykendall FLR National Road Racing Champion 45 year member
Bill joined FLR in 1967 he owned an MGB using it to compete in gymkhanas (ask the solo driver what this was) He ran with mild success against competitors such as Dave Elder The next year he bought an old tired Bug Eye Sprite and ran dirt track events at the fairgrounds These were fun events and Bill never planned on going on much further with competitive driving His next vehicle to enter the picture was a Z28 Camaro He did well in this car but never did beat a guy named Red Kozinski
Bill finally decided to go racing and being wise he rented a car from Barry Budlong a Datsun 510 for his driver school Bill said that the school was a revelation of many things to him Quoting Bill ldquoThis was not just about how to drive but also a lot about your own psyche which you might not have been awarerdquo
As it turned out Bill could go no further in his schooling process as Lou Gigliotti was going to qualify for the Runoffs at Road Atlanta in it Ultimately Lou did qualify and went to the national runoffs in it At the end of the season Bill purchased that car and took it to his second driver school at Summit Point
Then the race team of ldquoChiropractic on the Moverdquo began His first volunteer crew member was Roger Meredith and then Mike Plain offered his help followed by Jim McBride and Lyn Wechsler Not everyone starts out with a crew consisting of an RE and member of the BOD and the regional Flag Marshal They registered the first win at Nelson Ledges followed by two wins at the Glen 100 In 1975 Showroom stock became a national class All in all with six races in nine weeks three engine changes on set of rings and a lot of education Bill became received his National Competition License In July of 1976 Bill won his first national race in a very appropriate place Watkins Glen After that he burst on the national scene like a July firecracker
Billrsquos wife Missy joined FLR in 1975 and took to the racing life with great grace She and four kids travelled to all the races in their motor home packing and unpacking making meals and doing laundry each week for the whole racing season Between weekends Bill also had an active Chiropractic office in Greece hence the name of the place that paid the racing expenses
Before this driving bug struck Bill was Chief of Race Communications Association of which he is very proud RCA gave Bill a connection to motor racing the few drivers have He met and dealt with some of the most prestigious names in the racing world Bill was also FLR Flag Marshal until he began racing
Bill continued to race throughout the late 70s competing with and beating such well known racers as Rob Dyson Bob Leitzenger and Paul (PL) Newman On his first trip to the Runoffs he came in second in his class only beaten by Elliott Forbes Robinson The following year he took first making him a one of only four National Champions that FLR has produced Needless to say He won the Rookie Driver of the year trophy in 1975 Most Improved Driver in 1970 and in 1980 won FLR Driver of the Year
Tom Palmer ldquoAs I moved from my first car a lsquo41
Ford ($50 barn find) to a lsquo52 Chevy (with a Buick V8 engine) and then at age 20 to a sharp used lsquo60 Austin Healey 3000 roadster (I was making $155hr at the time)I gain a love of ldquosports carsrdquo I donrsquot know how I head of SCCA but I found FLR at the old Colonial Hotel in 1967 and joined There were less than 100 members back then most owning some form of imported fun car and about 70 or so would show up every month for meetings Great meetings and a great bunch of peoplethey rallied raced crewed and worked Cars and car talk was the focus And maybe a little beer
Stuffed a Ford 289 V8 into my Healey a very fun car to drive Then I decided to go to Driver School At the time I was owner of ldquoOl Yeller VIIrdquonot really the correct car for a novice High horsepower Corvette F1 engine in a lightweight car It had been stored for quite a whilefinally got it running the night before the event and actually moving (after we unfroze the clutch) Hit the track with no idea about the carrsquos handling or braking With the same tires it had been sitting on for yearsthey had the grip of polished concrete
Proud to have been one of the founding STPR Pro Rally members along with Bob Henderson Bill Leathersich John Robinson and others We had to take multiple trips to Wellsboro just to convince the local authorities that we werenrsquot the Hellrsquos angels of the automobile world
With apology I was pretty active in FLR until I found another interestThe National Warplane Museum Got to spend many hours working of the WW2 warbirds After having the controls of our B17 handed to me for an hour one day I caught the flying bug and went on to get my pilotrsquos permit I was Flight Line Chief of the ldquoWings of Eaglesrdquo Air Show for quite a few yearsone of the best warbird air shows in the country at the time Good fortune of hooking up with Rochesterrsquos own Bob Tullius each year he and Brian with show up with 3 planes Bobrsquos planes are as clean as his Group 44 cars especially his P51 Mustang

Heymaybe I should become a little more active again
Thank you
Wayne Scheible 45 year member
Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

I thought I had better let you know that both of my computers are working better today I was able to find an old keyboard so that I could get my desktop up and running in ldquoSafe Moderdquo and then I could remove a patch and get the machine running again
So that is all that happened between last month and now Wait there was a race that the region put on in Ohio in June We once again resurrected Westward Ho and we are hoping that we will break even As I said last month we are giving a 10 discount at the Fun One this fall to anyone who entered Westward Ho Marsha and I heard some crews talking about making the trip to Watkins Glen for the first time to run in the Fun One So I think that we are going to find a bump in entry come September I need to thank Lew and Wilma Giesy for all of the work they put into the race We have changed the format the past couple of times we ran the event and assuming that we return next year Irsquom thinking that we should follow the same format we ran this year
The weekend before Westward I and a quite a few region member made the trip to Ayer MA for the Solo National Tour This two day event was held at an old Army airbase northeast of Boston We had a good time but I keep hoping that I figure how to drive the car better It was easy when I could blame the car now I have trouble because I know the car is good and itrsquos only my driving to blame So I keep going to events and keep trying to learn how to drive my car
I blew it I was supposed to have the nominating committee together by the July 1 For some reason I always
have trouble remembering to do this on time I know that this is important because we have had to delay the vote a couple of years ago so that we could get the information out So if someone calls you and asks you to run for office please take the time and think about it We currently have a racing centric board of directors and I would like to see more involvement from rally and solo competitors
Until next monthMike

MembershipRecognition
George Morris and Gene DinkelRemembrances by Bob Henderson
It is my distinct pleasure this evening to offer special recognition to two very long term members George Morris and Gene Dinkel
George joined the Finger Lakes Region in 1956 and Gene joined in 1959Both have served as RE and Assistant RE Both have been members of the Board of Directors for multiple years Both have served as editors of Top End
George was Comp Board Chairman for nearly ten years Gene has been chairman of both our National Race and the Fun One several times Wellyou get the idea
No wonder that each of them has received the ldquoOutstanding Contribution to the Regionrdquo award the Regionrsquos highest honor in more than one year
George and Gene were also passionate race drivers George has raced for a span of more than fifty years and still owns most of the cars that he raced including a Mercedes Benz 190SL that was his first race car George was his own engineer mechanic and preparer He prepared his race cars HIS way and he did it RIGHT and it showed in his finishing record
Gene raced a Pinto and a Buick for several years and was also a ldquocollectorrdquo He only recently sold his Buick race car Gene was a PR and advertizing person by trade He brought those skills to the Region in his race events by writing about them and our members
10 June 2012TOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP END
George was honored last September by induction into the Watkins Glen Driversrsquo Walk of Fame for his long and distinguished career of racing at the Glen
We are fortunate that both George and Gene are with us this evening You guys have been a very meaningful part of the heart and soul and success of the Finger Lakes Region for over fifty years THANK YOU We will always treasure your friendshop and contributions to Finger Lakes Region
Bill Coykendall FLR National Road Racing Champion 45 year member
Bill joined FLR in 1967 he owned an MGB using it to compete in gymkhanas (ask the solo driver what this was) He ran with mild success against competitors such as Dave Elder The next year he bought an old tired Bug Eye Sprite and ran dirt track events at the fairgrounds These were fun events and Bill never planned on going on much further with competitive driving His next vehicle to enter the picture was a Z28 Camaro He did well in this car but never did beat a guy named Red Kozinski
Bill finally decided to go racing and being wise he rented a car from Barry Budlong a Datsun 510 for his driver school Bill said that the school was a revelation of many things to him Quoting Bill ldquoThis was not just about how to drive but also a lot about your own psyche which you might not have been awarerdquo
As it turned out Bill could go no further in his schooling process as Lou Gigliotti was going to qualify for the Runoffs at Road Atlanta in it Ultimately Lou did qualify and went to the national runoffs in it At the end of the season Bill purchased that car and took it to his second driver school at Summit Point
Then the race team of ldquoChiropractic on the Moverdquo began His first volunteer crew member was Roger Meredith and then Mike Plain offered his help followed by Jim McBride and Lyn Wechsler Not everyone starts out with a crew consisting of an RE and member of the BOD and the regional Flag Marshal They registered the first win at Nelson Ledges followed by two wins at the Glen 100 In 1975 Showroom stock became a national class All in all with six races in nine weeks three engine changes on set of rings and a lot of education Bill became received his National Competition License In July of 1976 Bill won his first national race in a very appropriate place Watkins Glen After that he burst on the national scene like a July firecracker
Billrsquos wife Missy joined FLR in 1975 and took to the racing life with great grace She and four kids travelled to all the races in their motor home packing and unpacking making meals and doing laundry each week for the whole racing season Between weekends Bill also had an active Chiropractic office in Greece hence the name of the place that paid the racing expenses
Before this driving bug struck Bill was Chief of Race Communications Association of which he is very proud RCA gave Bill a connection to motor racing the few drivers have He met and dealt with some of the most prestigious names in the racing world Bill was also FLR Flag Marshal until he began racing
Bill continued to race throughout the late 70s competing with and beating such well known racers as Rob Dyson Bob Leitzenger and Paul (PL) Newman On his first trip to the Runoffs he came in second in his class only beaten by Elliott Forbes Robinson The following year he took first making him a one of only four National Champions that FLR has produced Needless to say He won the Rookie Driver of the year trophy in 1975 Most Improved Driver in 1970 and in 1980 won FLR Driver of the Year
Tom Palmer ldquoAs I moved from my first car a lsquo41
Ford ($50 barn find) to a lsquo52 Chevy (with a Buick V8 engine) and then at age 20 to a sharp used lsquo60 Austin Healey 3000 roadster (I was making $155hr at the time)I gain a love of ldquosports carsrdquo I donrsquot know how I head of SCCA but I found FLR at the old Colonial Hotel in 1967 and joined There were less than 100 members back then most owning some form of imported fun car and about 70 or so would show up every month for meetings Great meetings and a great bunch of peoplethey rallied raced crewed and worked Cars and car talk was the focus And maybe a little beer
Stuffed a Ford 289 V8 into my Healey a very fun car to drive Then I decided to go to Driver School At the time I was owner of ldquoOl Yeller VIIrdquonot really the correct car for a novice High horsepower Corvette F1 engine in a lightweight car It had been stored for quite a whilefinally got it running the night before the event and actually moving (after we unfroze the clutch) Hit the track with no idea about the carrsquos handling or braking With the same tires it had been sitting on for yearsthey had the grip of polished concrete
Proud to have been one of the founding STPR Pro Rally members along with Bob Henderson Bill Leathersich John Robinson and others We had to take multiple trips to Wellsboro just to convince the local authorities that we werenrsquot the Hellrsquos angels of the automobile world
With apology I was pretty active in FLR until I found another interestThe National Warplane Museum Got to spend many hours working of the WW2 warbirds After having the controls of our B17 handed to me for an hour one day I caught the flying bug and went on to get my pilotrsquos permit I was Flight Line Chief of the ldquoWings of Eaglesrdquo Air Show for quite a few yearsone of the best warbird air shows in the country at the time Good fortune of hooking up with Rochesterrsquos own Bob Tullius each year he and Brian with show up with 3 planes Bobrsquos planes are as clean as his Group 44 cars especially his P51 Mustang

Heymaybe I should become a little more active again
Thank you
Wayne Scheible 45 year member
Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

MembershipRecognition
George Morris and Gene DinkelRemembrances by Bob Henderson
It is my distinct pleasure this evening to offer special recognition to two very long term members George Morris and Gene Dinkel
George joined the Finger Lakes Region in 1956 and Gene joined in 1959Both have served as RE and Assistant RE Both have been members of the Board of Directors for multiple years Both have served as editors of Top End
George was Comp Board Chairman for nearly ten years Gene has been chairman of both our National Race and the Fun One several times Wellyou get the idea
No wonder that each of them has received the ldquoOutstanding Contribution to the Regionrdquo award the Regionrsquos highest honor in more than one year
George and Gene were also passionate race drivers George has raced for a span of more than fifty years and still owns most of the cars that he raced including a Mercedes Benz 190SL that was his first race car George was his own engineer mechanic and preparer He prepared his race cars HIS way and he did it RIGHT and it showed in his finishing record
Gene raced a Pinto and a Buick for several years and was also a ldquocollectorrdquo He only recently sold his Buick race car Gene was a PR and advertizing person by trade He brought those skills to the Region in his race events by writing about them and our members
10 June 2012TOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP END
George was honored last September by induction into the Watkins Glen Driversrsquo Walk of Fame for his long and distinguished career of racing at the Glen
We are fortunate that both George and Gene are with us this evening You guys have been a very meaningful part of the heart and soul and success of the Finger Lakes Region for over fifty years THANK YOU We will always treasure your friendshop and contributions to Finger Lakes Region
Bill Coykendall FLR National Road Racing Champion 45 year member
Bill joined FLR in 1967 he owned an MGB using it to compete in gymkhanas (ask the solo driver what this was) He ran with mild success against competitors such as Dave Elder The next year he bought an old tired Bug Eye Sprite and ran dirt track events at the fairgrounds These were fun events and Bill never planned on going on much further with competitive driving His next vehicle to enter the picture was a Z28 Camaro He did well in this car but never did beat a guy named Red Kozinski
Bill finally decided to go racing and being wise he rented a car from Barry Budlong a Datsun 510 for his driver school Bill said that the school was a revelation of many things to him Quoting Bill ldquoThis was not just about how to drive but also a lot about your own psyche which you might not have been awarerdquo
As it turned out Bill could go no further in his schooling process as Lou Gigliotti was going to qualify for the Runoffs at Road Atlanta in it Ultimately Lou did qualify and went to the national runoffs in it At the end of the season Bill purchased that car and took it to his second driver school at Summit Point
Then the race team of ldquoChiropractic on the Moverdquo began His first volunteer crew member was Roger Meredith and then Mike Plain offered his help followed by Jim McBride and Lyn Wechsler Not everyone starts out with a crew consisting of an RE and member of the BOD and the regional Flag Marshal They registered the first win at Nelson Ledges followed by two wins at the Glen 100 In 1975 Showroom stock became a national class All in all with six races in nine weeks three engine changes on set of rings and a lot of education Bill became received his National Competition License In July of 1976 Bill won his first national race in a very appropriate place Watkins Glen After that he burst on the national scene like a July firecracker
Billrsquos wife Missy joined FLR in 1975 and took to the racing life with great grace She and four kids travelled to all the races in their motor home packing and unpacking making meals and doing laundry each week for the whole racing season Between weekends Bill also had an active Chiropractic office in Greece hence the name of the place that paid the racing expenses
Before this driving bug struck Bill was Chief of Race Communications Association of which he is very proud RCA gave Bill a connection to motor racing the few drivers have He met and dealt with some of the most prestigious names in the racing world Bill was also FLR Flag Marshal until he began racing
Bill continued to race throughout the late 70s competing with and beating such well known racers as Rob Dyson Bob Leitzenger and Paul (PL) Newman On his first trip to the Runoffs he came in second in his class only beaten by Elliott Forbes Robinson The following year he took first making him a one of only four National Champions that FLR has produced Needless to say He won the Rookie Driver of the year trophy in 1975 Most Improved Driver in 1970 and in 1980 won FLR Driver of the Year
Tom Palmer ldquoAs I moved from my first car a lsquo41
Ford ($50 barn find) to a lsquo52 Chevy (with a Buick V8 engine) and then at age 20 to a sharp used lsquo60 Austin Healey 3000 roadster (I was making $155hr at the time)I gain a love of ldquosports carsrdquo I donrsquot know how I head of SCCA but I found FLR at the old Colonial Hotel in 1967 and joined There were less than 100 members back then most owning some form of imported fun car and about 70 or so would show up every month for meetings Great meetings and a great bunch of peoplethey rallied raced crewed and worked Cars and car talk was the focus And maybe a little beer
Stuffed a Ford 289 V8 into my Healey a very fun car to drive Then I decided to go to Driver School At the time I was owner of ldquoOl Yeller VIIrdquonot really the correct car for a novice High horsepower Corvette F1 engine in a lightweight car It had been stored for quite a whilefinally got it running the night before the event and actually moving (after we unfroze the clutch) Hit the track with no idea about the carrsquos handling or braking With the same tires it had been sitting on for yearsthey had the grip of polished concrete
Proud to have been one of the founding STPR Pro Rally members along with Bob Henderson Bill Leathersich John Robinson and others We had to take multiple trips to Wellsboro just to convince the local authorities that we werenrsquot the Hellrsquos angels of the automobile world
With apology I was pretty active in FLR until I found another interestThe National Warplane Museum Got to spend many hours working of the WW2 warbirds After having the controls of our B17 handed to me for an hour one day I caught the flying bug and went on to get my pilotrsquos permit I was Flight Line Chief of the ldquoWings of Eaglesrdquo Air Show for quite a few yearsone of the best warbird air shows in the country at the time Good fortune of hooking up with Rochesterrsquos own Bob Tullius each year he and Brian with show up with 3 planes Bobrsquos planes are as clean as his Group 44 cars especially his P51 Mustang

Heymaybe I should become a little more active again
Thank you
Wayne Scheible 45 year member
Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

MembershipRecognition
George Morris and Gene DinkelRemembrances by Bob Henderson
It is my distinct pleasure this evening to offer special recognition to two very long term members George Morris and Gene Dinkel
George joined the Finger Lakes Region in 1956 and Gene joined in 1959Both have served as RE and Assistant RE Both have been members of the Board of Directors for multiple years Both have served as editors of Top End
George was Comp Board Chairman for nearly ten years Gene has been chairman of both our National Race and the Fun One several times Wellyou get the idea
No wonder that each of them has received the ldquoOutstanding Contribution to the Regionrdquo award the Regionrsquos highest honor in more than one year
George and Gene were also passionate race drivers George has raced for a span of more than fifty years and still owns most of the cars that he raced including a Mercedes Benz 190SL that was his first race car George was his own engineer mechanic and preparer He prepared his race cars HIS way and he did it RIGHT and it showed in his finishing record
Gene raced a Pinto and a Buick for several years and was also a ldquocollectorrdquo He only recently sold his Buick race car Gene was a PR and advertizing person by trade He brought those skills to the Region in his race events by writing about them and our members
10 June 2012TOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP END
George was honored last September by induction into the Watkins Glen Driversrsquo Walk of Fame for his long and distinguished career of racing at the Glen
We are fortunate that both George and Gene are with us this evening You guys have been a very meaningful part of the heart and soul and success of the Finger Lakes Region for over fifty years THANK YOU We will always treasure your friendshop and contributions to Finger Lakes Region
Bill Coykendall FLR National Road Racing Champion 45 year member
Bill joined FLR in 1967 he owned an MGB using it to compete in gymkhanas (ask the solo driver what this was) He ran with mild success against competitors such as Dave Elder The next year he bought an old tired Bug Eye Sprite and ran dirt track events at the fairgrounds These were fun events and Bill never planned on going on much further with competitive driving His next vehicle to enter the picture was a Z28 Camaro He did well in this car but never did beat a guy named Red Kozinski
Bill finally decided to go racing and being wise he rented a car from Barry Budlong a Datsun 510 for his driver school Bill said that the school was a revelation of many things to him Quoting Bill ldquoThis was not just about how to drive but also a lot about your own psyche which you might not have been awarerdquo
As it turned out Bill could go no further in his schooling process as Lou Gigliotti was going to qualify for the Runoffs at Road Atlanta in it Ultimately Lou did qualify and went to the national runoffs in it At the end of the season Bill purchased that car and took it to his second driver school at Summit Point
Then the race team of ldquoChiropractic on the Moverdquo began His first volunteer crew member was Roger Meredith and then Mike Plain offered his help followed by Jim McBride and Lyn Wechsler Not everyone starts out with a crew consisting of an RE and member of the BOD and the regional Flag Marshal They registered the first win at Nelson Ledges followed by two wins at the Glen 100 In 1975 Showroom stock became a national class All in all with six races in nine weeks three engine changes on set of rings and a lot of education Bill became received his National Competition License In July of 1976 Bill won his first national race in a very appropriate place Watkins Glen After that he burst on the national scene like a July firecracker
Billrsquos wife Missy joined FLR in 1975 and took to the racing life with great grace She and four kids travelled to all the races in their motor home packing and unpacking making meals and doing laundry each week for the whole racing season Between weekends Bill also had an active Chiropractic office in Greece hence the name of the place that paid the racing expenses
Before this driving bug struck Bill was Chief of Race Communications Association of which he is very proud RCA gave Bill a connection to motor racing the few drivers have He met and dealt with some of the most prestigious names in the racing world Bill was also FLR Flag Marshal until he began racing
Bill continued to race throughout the late 70s competing with and beating such well known racers as Rob Dyson Bob Leitzenger and Paul (PL) Newman On his first trip to the Runoffs he came in second in his class only beaten by Elliott Forbes Robinson The following year he took first making him a one of only four National Champions that FLR has produced Needless to say He won the Rookie Driver of the year trophy in 1975 Most Improved Driver in 1970 and in 1980 won FLR Driver of the Year
Tom Palmer ldquoAs I moved from my first car a lsquo41
Ford ($50 barn find) to a lsquo52 Chevy (with a Buick V8 engine) and then at age 20 to a sharp used lsquo60 Austin Healey 3000 roadster (I was making $155hr at the time)I gain a love of ldquosports carsrdquo I donrsquot know how I head of SCCA but I found FLR at the old Colonial Hotel in 1967 and joined There were less than 100 members back then most owning some form of imported fun car and about 70 or so would show up every month for meetings Great meetings and a great bunch of peoplethey rallied raced crewed and worked Cars and car talk was the focus And maybe a little beer
Stuffed a Ford 289 V8 into my Healey a very fun car to drive Then I decided to go to Driver School At the time I was owner of ldquoOl Yeller VIIrdquonot really the correct car for a novice High horsepower Corvette F1 engine in a lightweight car It had been stored for quite a whilefinally got it running the night before the event and actually moving (after we unfroze the clutch) Hit the track with no idea about the carrsquos handling or braking With the same tires it had been sitting on for yearsthey had the grip of polished concrete
Proud to have been one of the founding STPR Pro Rally members along with Bob Henderson Bill Leathersich John Robinson and others We had to take multiple trips to Wellsboro just to convince the local authorities that we werenrsquot the Hellrsquos angels of the automobile world
With apology I was pretty active in FLR until I found another interestThe National Warplane Museum Got to spend many hours working of the WW2 warbirds After having the controls of our B17 handed to me for an hour one day I caught the flying bug and went on to get my pilotrsquos permit I was Flight Line Chief of the ldquoWings of Eaglesrdquo Air Show for quite a few yearsone of the best warbird air shows in the country at the time Good fortune of hooking up with Rochesterrsquos own Bob Tullius each year he and Brian with show up with 3 planes Bobrsquos planes are as clean as his Group 44 cars especially his P51 Mustang

Heymaybe I should become a little more active again
Thank you
Wayne Scheible 45 year member
Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

MembershipRecognition
George Morris and Gene DinkelRemembrances by Bob Henderson
It is my distinct pleasure this evening to offer special recognition to two very long term members George Morris and Gene Dinkel
George joined the Finger Lakes Region in 1956 and Gene joined in 1959Both have served as RE and Assistant RE Both have been members of the Board of Directors for multiple years Both have served as editors of Top End
George was Comp Board Chairman for nearly ten years Gene has been chairman of both our National Race and the Fun One several times Wellyou get the idea
No wonder that each of them has received the ldquoOutstanding Contribution to the Regionrdquo award the Regionrsquos highest honor in more than one year
George and Gene were also passionate race drivers George has raced for a span of more than fifty years and still owns most of the cars that he raced including a Mercedes Benz 190SL that was his first race car George was his own engineer mechanic and preparer He prepared his race cars HIS way and he did it RIGHT and it showed in his finishing record
Gene raced a Pinto and a Buick for several years and was also a ldquocollectorrdquo He only recently sold his Buick race car Gene was a PR and advertizing person by trade He brought those skills to the Region in his race events by writing about them and our members
10 June 2012TOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP END
George was honored last September by induction into the Watkins Glen Driversrsquo Walk of Fame for his long and distinguished career of racing at the Glen
We are fortunate that both George and Gene are with us this evening You guys have been a very meaningful part of the heart and soul and success of the Finger Lakes Region for over fifty years THANK YOU We will always treasure your friendshop and contributions to Finger Lakes Region
Bill Coykendall FLR National Road Racing Champion 45 year member
Bill joined FLR in 1967 he owned an MGB using it to compete in gymkhanas (ask the solo driver what this was) He ran with mild success against competitors such as Dave Elder The next year he bought an old tired Bug Eye Sprite and ran dirt track events at the fairgrounds These were fun events and Bill never planned on going on much further with competitive driving His next vehicle to enter the picture was a Z28 Camaro He did well in this car but never did beat a guy named Red Kozinski
Bill finally decided to go racing and being wise he rented a car from Barry Budlong a Datsun 510 for his driver school Bill said that the school was a revelation of many things to him Quoting Bill ldquoThis was not just about how to drive but also a lot about your own psyche which you might not have been awarerdquo
As it turned out Bill could go no further in his schooling process as Lou Gigliotti was going to qualify for the Runoffs at Road Atlanta in it Ultimately Lou did qualify and went to the national runoffs in it At the end of the season Bill purchased that car and took it to his second driver school at Summit Point
Then the race team of ldquoChiropractic on the Moverdquo began His first volunteer crew member was Roger Meredith and then Mike Plain offered his help followed by Jim McBride and Lyn Wechsler Not everyone starts out with a crew consisting of an RE and member of the BOD and the regional Flag Marshal They registered the first win at Nelson Ledges followed by two wins at the Glen 100 In 1975 Showroom stock became a national class All in all with six races in nine weeks three engine changes on set of rings and a lot of education Bill became received his National Competition License In July of 1976 Bill won his first national race in a very appropriate place Watkins Glen After that he burst on the national scene like a July firecracker
Billrsquos wife Missy joined FLR in 1975 and took to the racing life with great grace She and four kids travelled to all the races in their motor home packing and unpacking making meals and doing laundry each week for the whole racing season Between weekends Bill also had an active Chiropractic office in Greece hence the name of the place that paid the racing expenses
Before this driving bug struck Bill was Chief of Race Communications Association of which he is very proud RCA gave Bill a connection to motor racing the few drivers have He met and dealt with some of the most prestigious names in the racing world Bill was also FLR Flag Marshal until he began racing
Bill continued to race throughout the late 70s competing with and beating such well known racers as Rob Dyson Bob Leitzenger and Paul (PL) Newman On his first trip to the Runoffs he came in second in his class only beaten by Elliott Forbes Robinson The following year he took first making him a one of only four National Champions that FLR has produced Needless to say He won the Rookie Driver of the year trophy in 1975 Most Improved Driver in 1970 and in 1980 won FLR Driver of the Year
Tom Palmer ldquoAs I moved from my first car a lsquo41
Ford ($50 barn find) to a lsquo52 Chevy (with a Buick V8 engine) and then at age 20 to a sharp used lsquo60 Austin Healey 3000 roadster (I was making $155hr at the time)I gain a love of ldquosports carsrdquo I donrsquot know how I head of SCCA but I found FLR at the old Colonial Hotel in 1967 and joined There were less than 100 members back then most owning some form of imported fun car and about 70 or so would show up every month for meetings Great meetings and a great bunch of peoplethey rallied raced crewed and worked Cars and car talk was the focus And maybe a little beer
Stuffed a Ford 289 V8 into my Healey a very fun car to drive Then I decided to go to Driver School At the time I was owner of ldquoOl Yeller VIIrdquonot really the correct car for a novice High horsepower Corvette F1 engine in a lightweight car It had been stored for quite a whilefinally got it running the night before the event and actually moving (after we unfroze the clutch) Hit the track with no idea about the carrsquos handling or braking With the same tires it had been sitting on for yearsthey had the grip of polished concrete
Proud to have been one of the founding STPR Pro Rally members along with Bob Henderson Bill Leathersich John Robinson and others We had to take multiple trips to Wellsboro just to convince the local authorities that we werenrsquot the Hellrsquos angels of the automobile world
With apology I was pretty active in FLR until I found another interestThe National Warplane Museum Got to spend many hours working of the WW2 warbirds After having the controls of our B17 handed to me for an hour one day I caught the flying bug and went on to get my pilotrsquos permit I was Flight Line Chief of the ldquoWings of Eaglesrdquo Air Show for quite a few yearsone of the best warbird air shows in the country at the time Good fortune of hooking up with Rochesterrsquos own Bob Tullius each year he and Brian with show up with 3 planes Bobrsquos planes are as clean as his Group 44 cars especially his P51 Mustang

Heymaybe I should become a little more active again
Thank you
Wayne Scheible 45 year member
Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

MembershipRecognition
George Morris and Gene DinkelRemembrances by Bob Henderson
It is my distinct pleasure this evening to offer special recognition to two very long term members George Morris and Gene Dinkel
George joined the Finger Lakes Region in 1956 and Gene joined in 1959Both have served as RE and Assistant RE Both have been members of the Board of Directors for multiple years Both have served as editors of Top End
George was Comp Board Chairman for nearly ten years Gene has been chairman of both our National Race and the Fun One several times Wellyou get the idea
No wonder that each of them has received the ldquoOutstanding Contribution to the Regionrdquo award the Regionrsquos highest honor in more than one year
George and Gene were also passionate race drivers George has raced for a span of more than fifty years and still owns most of the cars that he raced including a Mercedes Benz 190SL that was his first race car George was his own engineer mechanic and preparer He prepared his race cars HIS way and he did it RIGHT and it showed in his finishing record
Gene raced a Pinto and a Buick for several years and was also a ldquocollectorrdquo He only recently sold his Buick race car Gene was a PR and advertizing person by trade He brought those skills to the Region in his race events by writing about them and our members
10 June 2012TOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP END
George was honored last September by induction into the Watkins Glen Driversrsquo Walk of Fame for his long and distinguished career of racing at the Glen
We are fortunate that both George and Gene are with us this evening You guys have been a very meaningful part of the heart and soul and success of the Finger Lakes Region for over fifty years THANK YOU We will always treasure your friendshop and contributions to Finger Lakes Region
Bill Coykendall FLR National Road Racing Champion 45 year member
Bill joined FLR in 1967 he owned an MGB using it to compete in gymkhanas (ask the solo driver what this was) He ran with mild success against competitors such as Dave Elder The next year he bought an old tired Bug Eye Sprite and ran dirt track events at the fairgrounds These were fun events and Bill never planned on going on much further with competitive driving His next vehicle to enter the picture was a Z28 Camaro He did well in this car but never did beat a guy named Red Kozinski
Bill finally decided to go racing and being wise he rented a car from Barry Budlong a Datsun 510 for his driver school Bill said that the school was a revelation of many things to him Quoting Bill ldquoThis was not just about how to drive but also a lot about your own psyche which you might not have been awarerdquo
As it turned out Bill could go no further in his schooling process as Lou Gigliotti was going to qualify for the Runoffs at Road Atlanta in it Ultimately Lou did qualify and went to the national runoffs in it At the end of the season Bill purchased that car and took it to his second driver school at Summit Point
Then the race team of ldquoChiropractic on the Moverdquo began His first volunteer crew member was Roger Meredith and then Mike Plain offered his help followed by Jim McBride and Lyn Wechsler Not everyone starts out with a crew consisting of an RE and member of the BOD and the regional Flag Marshal They registered the first win at Nelson Ledges followed by two wins at the Glen 100 In 1975 Showroom stock became a national class All in all with six races in nine weeks three engine changes on set of rings and a lot of education Bill became received his National Competition License In July of 1976 Bill won his first national race in a very appropriate place Watkins Glen After that he burst on the national scene like a July firecracker
Billrsquos wife Missy joined FLR in 1975 and took to the racing life with great grace She and four kids travelled to all the races in their motor home packing and unpacking making meals and doing laundry each week for the whole racing season Between weekends Bill also had an active Chiropractic office in Greece hence the name of the place that paid the racing expenses
Before this driving bug struck Bill was Chief of Race Communications Association of which he is very proud RCA gave Bill a connection to motor racing the few drivers have He met and dealt with some of the most prestigious names in the racing world Bill was also FLR Flag Marshal until he began racing
Bill continued to race throughout the late 70s competing with and beating such well known racers as Rob Dyson Bob Leitzenger and Paul (PL) Newman On his first trip to the Runoffs he came in second in his class only beaten by Elliott Forbes Robinson The following year he took first making him a one of only four National Champions that FLR has produced Needless to say He won the Rookie Driver of the year trophy in 1975 Most Improved Driver in 1970 and in 1980 won FLR Driver of the Year
Tom Palmer ldquoAs I moved from my first car a lsquo41
Ford ($50 barn find) to a lsquo52 Chevy (with a Buick V8 engine) and then at age 20 to a sharp used lsquo60 Austin Healey 3000 roadster (I was making $155hr at the time)I gain a love of ldquosports carsrdquo I donrsquot know how I head of SCCA but I found FLR at the old Colonial Hotel in 1967 and joined There were less than 100 members back then most owning some form of imported fun car and about 70 or so would show up every month for meetings Great meetings and a great bunch of peoplethey rallied raced crewed and worked Cars and car talk was the focus And maybe a little beer
Stuffed a Ford 289 V8 into my Healey a very fun car to drive Then I decided to go to Driver School At the time I was owner of ldquoOl Yeller VIIrdquonot really the correct car for a novice High horsepower Corvette F1 engine in a lightweight car It had been stored for quite a whilefinally got it running the night before the event and actually moving (after we unfroze the clutch) Hit the track with no idea about the carrsquos handling or braking With the same tires it had been sitting on for yearsthey had the grip of polished concrete
Proud to have been one of the founding STPR Pro Rally members along with Bob Henderson Bill Leathersich John Robinson and others We had to take multiple trips to Wellsboro just to convince the local authorities that we werenrsquot the Hellrsquos angels of the automobile world
With apology I was pretty active in FLR until I found another interestThe National Warplane Museum Got to spend many hours working of the WW2 warbirds After having the controls of our B17 handed to me for an hour one day I caught the flying bug and went on to get my pilotrsquos permit I was Flight Line Chief of the ldquoWings of Eaglesrdquo Air Show for quite a few yearsone of the best warbird air shows in the country at the time Good fortune of hooking up with Rochesterrsquos own Bob Tullius each year he and Brian with show up with 3 planes Bobrsquos planes are as clean as his Group 44 cars especially his P51 Mustang

Heymaybe I should become a little more active again
Thank you
Wayne Scheible 45 year member
Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

MembershipRecognition
George Morris and Gene DinkelRemembrances by Bob Henderson
It is my distinct pleasure this evening to offer special recognition to two very long term members George Morris and Gene Dinkel
George joined the Finger Lakes Region in 1956 and Gene joined in 1959Both have served as RE and Assistant RE Both have been members of the Board of Directors for multiple years Both have served as editors of Top End
George was Comp Board Chairman for nearly ten years Gene has been chairman of both our National Race and the Fun One several times Wellyou get the idea
No wonder that each of them has received the ldquoOutstanding Contribution to the Regionrdquo award the Regionrsquos highest honor in more than one year
George and Gene were also passionate race drivers George has raced for a span of more than fifty years and still owns most of the cars that he raced including a Mercedes Benz 190SL that was his first race car George was his own engineer mechanic and preparer He prepared his race cars HIS way and he did it RIGHT and it showed in his finishing record
Gene raced a Pinto and a Buick for several years and was also a ldquocollectorrdquo He only recently sold his Buick race car Gene was a PR and advertizing person by trade He brought those skills to the Region in his race events by writing about them and our members
10 June 2012TOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP ENDTOP END
George was honored last September by induction into the Watkins Glen Driversrsquo Walk of Fame for his long and distinguished career of racing at the Glen
We are fortunate that both George and Gene are with us this evening You guys have been a very meaningful part of the heart and soul and success of the Finger Lakes Region for over fifty years THANK YOU We will always treasure your friendshop and contributions to Finger Lakes Region
Bill Coykendall FLR National Road Racing Champion 45 year member
Bill joined FLR in 1967 he owned an MGB using it to compete in gymkhanas (ask the solo driver what this was) He ran with mild success against competitors such as Dave Elder The next year he bought an old tired Bug Eye Sprite and ran dirt track events at the fairgrounds These were fun events and Bill never planned on going on much further with competitive driving His next vehicle to enter the picture was a Z28 Camaro He did well in this car but never did beat a guy named Red Kozinski
Bill finally decided to go racing and being wise he rented a car from Barry Budlong a Datsun 510 for his driver school Bill said that the school was a revelation of many things to him Quoting Bill ldquoThis was not just about how to drive but also a lot about your own psyche which you might not have been awarerdquo
As it turned out Bill could go no further in his schooling process as Lou Gigliotti was going to qualify for the Runoffs at Road Atlanta in it Ultimately Lou did qualify and went to the national runoffs in it At the end of the season Bill purchased that car and took it to his second driver school at Summit Point
Then the race team of ldquoChiropractic on the Moverdquo began His first volunteer crew member was Roger Meredith and then Mike Plain offered his help followed by Jim McBride and Lyn Wechsler Not everyone starts out with a crew consisting of an RE and member of the BOD and the regional Flag Marshal They registered the first win at Nelson Ledges followed by two wins at the Glen 100 In 1975 Showroom stock became a national class All in all with six races in nine weeks three engine changes on set of rings and a lot of education Bill became received his National Competition License In July of 1976 Bill won his first national race in a very appropriate place Watkins Glen After that he burst on the national scene like a July firecracker
Billrsquos wife Missy joined FLR in 1975 and took to the racing life with great grace She and four kids travelled to all the races in their motor home packing and unpacking making meals and doing laundry each week for the whole racing season Between weekends Bill also had an active Chiropractic office in Greece hence the name of the place that paid the racing expenses
Before this driving bug struck Bill was Chief of Race Communications Association of which he is very proud RCA gave Bill a connection to motor racing the few drivers have He met and dealt with some of the most prestigious names in the racing world Bill was also FLR Flag Marshal until he began racing
Bill continued to race throughout the late 70s competing with and beating such well known racers as Rob Dyson Bob Leitzenger and Paul (PL) Newman On his first trip to the Runoffs he came in second in his class only beaten by Elliott Forbes Robinson The following year he took first making him a one of only four National Champions that FLR has produced Needless to say He won the Rookie Driver of the year trophy in 1975 Most Improved Driver in 1970 and in 1980 won FLR Driver of the Year
Tom Palmer ldquoAs I moved from my first car a lsquo41
Ford ($50 barn find) to a lsquo52 Chevy (with a Buick V8 engine) and then at age 20 to a sharp used lsquo60 Austin Healey 3000 roadster (I was making $155hr at the time)I gain a love of ldquosports carsrdquo I donrsquot know how I head of SCCA but I found FLR at the old Colonial Hotel in 1967 and joined There were less than 100 members back then most owning some form of imported fun car and about 70 or so would show up every month for meetings Great meetings and a great bunch of peoplethey rallied raced crewed and worked Cars and car talk was the focus And maybe a little beer
Stuffed a Ford 289 V8 into my Healey a very fun car to drive Then I decided to go to Driver School At the time I was owner of ldquoOl Yeller VIIrdquonot really the correct car for a novice High horsepower Corvette F1 engine in a lightweight car It had been stored for quite a whilefinally got it running the night before the event and actually moving (after we unfroze the clutch) Hit the track with no idea about the carrsquos handling or braking With the same tires it had been sitting on for yearsthey had the grip of polished concrete
Proud to have been one of the founding STPR Pro Rally members along with Bob Henderson Bill Leathersich John Robinson and others We had to take multiple trips to Wellsboro just to convince the local authorities that we werenrsquot the Hellrsquos angels of the automobile world
With apology I was pretty active in FLR until I found another interestThe National Warplane Museum Got to spend many hours working of the WW2 warbirds After having the controls of our B17 handed to me for an hour one day I caught the flying bug and went on to get my pilotrsquos permit I was Flight Line Chief of the ldquoWings of Eaglesrdquo Air Show for quite a few yearsone of the best warbird air shows in the country at the time Good fortune of hooking up with Rochesterrsquos own Bob Tullius each year he and Brian with show up with 3 planes Bobrsquos planes are as clean as his Group 44 cars especially his P51 Mustang

Heymaybe I should become a little more active again
Thank you
Wayne Scheible 45 year member
Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

Bill Coykendall FLR National Road Racing Champion 45 year member
Bill joined FLR in 1967 he owned an MGB using it to compete in gymkhanas (ask the solo driver what this was) He ran with mild success against competitors such as Dave Elder The next year he bought an old tired Bug Eye Sprite and ran dirt track events at the fairgrounds These were fun events and Bill never planned on going on much further with competitive driving His next vehicle to enter the picture was a Z28 Camaro He did well in this car but never did beat a guy named Red Kozinski
Bill finally decided to go racing and being wise he rented a car from Barry Budlong a Datsun 510 for his driver school Bill said that the school was a revelation of many things to him Quoting Bill ldquoThis was not just about how to drive but also a lot about your own psyche which you might not have been awarerdquo
As it turned out Bill could go no further in his schooling process as Lou Gigliotti was going to qualify for the Runoffs at Road Atlanta in it Ultimately Lou did qualify and went to the national runoffs in it At the end of the season Bill purchased that car and took it to his second driver school at Summit Point
Then the race team of ldquoChiropractic on the Moverdquo began His first volunteer crew member was Roger Meredith and then Mike Plain offered his help followed by Jim McBride and Lyn Wechsler Not everyone starts out with a crew consisting of an RE and member of the BOD and the regional Flag Marshal They registered the first win at Nelson Ledges followed by two wins at the Glen 100 In 1975 Showroom stock became a national class All in all with six races in nine weeks three engine changes on set of rings and a lot of education Bill became received his National Competition License In July of 1976 Bill won his first national race in a very appropriate place Watkins Glen After that he burst on the national scene like a July firecracker
Billrsquos wife Missy joined FLR in 1975 and took to the racing life with great grace She and four kids travelled to all the races in their motor home packing and unpacking making meals and doing laundry each week for the whole racing season Between weekends Bill also had an active Chiropractic office in Greece hence the name of the place that paid the racing expenses
Before this driving bug struck Bill was Chief of Race Communications Association of which he is very proud RCA gave Bill a connection to motor racing the few drivers have He met and dealt with some of the most prestigious names in the racing world Bill was also FLR Flag Marshal until he began racing
Bill continued to race throughout the late 70s competing with and beating such well known racers as Rob Dyson Bob Leitzenger and Paul (PL) Newman On his first trip to the Runoffs he came in second in his class only beaten by Elliott Forbes Robinson The following year he took first making him a one of only four National Champions that FLR has produced Needless to say He won the Rookie Driver of the year trophy in 1975 Most Improved Driver in 1970 and in 1980 won FLR Driver of the Year
Tom Palmer ldquoAs I moved from my first car a lsquo41
Ford ($50 barn find) to a lsquo52 Chevy (with a Buick V8 engine) and then at age 20 to a sharp used lsquo60 Austin Healey 3000 roadster (I was making $155hr at the time)I gain a love of ldquosports carsrdquo I donrsquot know how I head of SCCA but I found FLR at the old Colonial Hotel in 1967 and joined There were less than 100 members back then most owning some form of imported fun car and about 70 or so would show up every month for meetings Great meetings and a great bunch of peoplethey rallied raced crewed and worked Cars and car talk was the focus And maybe a little beer
Stuffed a Ford 289 V8 into my Healey a very fun car to drive Then I decided to go to Driver School At the time I was owner of ldquoOl Yeller VIIrdquonot really the correct car for a novice High horsepower Corvette F1 engine in a lightweight car It had been stored for quite a whilefinally got it running the night before the event and actually moving (after we unfroze the clutch) Hit the track with no idea about the carrsquos handling or braking With the same tires it had been sitting on for yearsthey had the grip of polished concrete
Proud to have been one of the founding STPR Pro Rally members along with Bob Henderson Bill Leathersich John Robinson and others We had to take multiple trips to Wellsboro just to convince the local authorities that we werenrsquot the Hellrsquos angels of the automobile world
With apology I was pretty active in FLR until I found another interestThe National Warplane Museum Got to spend many hours working of the WW2 warbirds After having the controls of our B17 handed to me for an hour one day I caught the flying bug and went on to get my pilotrsquos permit I was Flight Line Chief of the ldquoWings of Eaglesrdquo Air Show for quite a few yearsone of the best warbird air shows in the country at the time Good fortune of hooking up with Rochesterrsquos own Bob Tullius each year he and Brian with show up with 3 planes Bobrsquos planes are as clean as his Group 44 cars especially his P51 Mustang

Heymaybe I should become a little more active again
Thank you
Wayne Scheible 45 year member
Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

Heymaybe I should become a little more active again
Thank you
Wayne Scheible 45 year member
Waynersquos name first appeared in John Castlersquos history of the Finger Lakes Region as winning a combined rally with Triumph Club He and his wife Pat were well known rallyists in the 1960s and 1970s when the club ran a rally a month He was chief of controls for an FLR Divisional Rally held in 1968 In 1969 he and Pat won the best rally driver and navigator award from the Region Wayne served as Activities Director in 1970 He was chairman of an ice cross on Honeoye Lake in conjunction with the Honeoye Winter Carnival He also autocrossed in the 1970s running in E stock
During this time their son Karl was taken along on rallies and was allowed to work checkpoints when he was old enough to do so Karl with good rally genes went on to Pro Rally and won the US Group N champion and the Overall North American Rally Champion Karl drove the ldquoCute Carrdquo beetle in Pro Rally in early 90s which was a factory ride for VW which made Karl a TV star Karl said his greatest thrill was when he and Dad Wayne competed in and took third overall in the Pro Rally ldquoRim of the Worldrdquo
Forty Years Ago in FLR 1972
Olgerts Sneidze was RE and Tom Palmer was Activities Director Bill Coykendall was Chief of Flagging and Communication Wayne Scheible won first in a regional rally named ldquoMatchbox Rallyrdquo John Castle was Chair of the Fun One which saw 162 entries with a Saturday evening party in the basement of Seneca Lodge Racing had become the major focus of the
region while participation in rally and autocross was way down The region had only one autocross this year and the rally program gave out no awards due to lack of interest
Two young men arrived on the scene helping the region turn its focus around again These people were Chris Bucknam and Lyn Wechsler
Chris Bucknam 40 year member
Chris joined Finger Lakes in 1972 with an interest mainly in autocross Throughout the years he has been first in High Points in 1978 when he won first in C Prod autocrossing He served as Activities Director in 1978 and 1979 In 1982 Chris was awarded the Regionrsquos Alex Lafontant Trophy for Outstanding Contribution to the Region In 1978 he also was the NEDiv champion in DPrep In 1980 with his varied interests was Race Chair of the FLR National at Watkins Glen Chris was Assistant RE in 1982 and became RE in 1983 In 2005 he was again Asst RE
Chrisrsquo major contribution however was getting the solo program back on its feet after due to lack of interest in 1976 At that time both the rally and solo programs were in danger of going under Chris wrote a Top End article explaining what fun it was to Solo which was a good part of the resurgence of interest in that aspect of the club
Somewhere along the line Chris met his lovely wife Joyce and they produced a son Jake who is taking after his father in the solo program This is another FLR family of whom the region is proud
Lyn Wechsler 40 year member
Lyn as mentioned before was a crew member for Dr Bill He was also instrumental in letting our Race
Physician at the National Race in 1978 Dr Pat Newman meet her idol the actor of the same name She was chief of neurology at Upstate Medical in Syracuse and had agreed to be our physician for free if only she could meet PL I thought for quite a while to see how could make this come about and finally decided to just go over to where their cars were gridded Lyn was standing against Billrsquos car and I shouted loud enough for PL to hear ldquoLyn I want you to meet our track doc PL Newman ( I was not lying as her name was Patricia Louise) Lyn turned around as did the driver of the car next to theirs yes and the famed actordriver Paul came over and asked if that was really her name and she assured him that it was PL allowed a picture to be taken with the other PL Newman which I imagine is still on her desk in Syracuse
Lyn was my first station captain at the Fun One of 1974 I had been prodded into flagging the event as most of the usual flaggers had come down with pneumonia after the October Grand Prix Fun One races were in October back then and there always was a problem getting flaggers He was a good teacher as I continued on to get my National F and C license A perk of being on station with Lyn was getting a ride in his yellow Lotus Europa
Lyn was Assistant RE in 1975 and RE in 1976 and 1977 He continued to be a crew member for Dr Bill and was awarded the Mechanic of the Year award in 1984
Lyn has maintained his membership in FLR but divides his time between Rochester and California He has continued his interest in Finger Lakes Region for forty years
35 year members Lew and Wilma Giesy and Alf Zeller along with 30 year members Michael Cianciosi and Judy Schoonmaker will be printed in the September issue of Top End Ed

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition

I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition

I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

Race
A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

Dirty Summer Fun RallyCross Seasonrsquos off to a great startBy Victor Prinzim
This yearrsquos RallyCross season is off to a great start albeit a rough one course wise Eighteen drivers signed up to compete on June 30th even a few with fully prepped rally cars The stage was set for a good competition
First we had to figure out a good way around the beat up field Last Februaryrsquos RallyCross did a good job of rutting up the field something fierce Lucky for us the Old MacDonald who mows the field helped us out by grinding down and smoothing out the really bad spots After a few minor changes to the course were tested in Tony Zannirsquos 2008 Rally Civic our safety steward Chris Thompson gave us the green light
I donrsquot remember who was in what run group but highlights and lowlights include Andy Walker telling Jim Perrin ldquoIf I just go faster I should be able to pitch it right around that last cornerrdquo Letrsquos just say that didnrsquot quicken his lap times very much as he bent the control arm and several other suspension parts on the rear of his Green Subaru Impreza 22 aptly named ldquoGrasshopperrdquo The other lowlight was a red flag thrown when Pat Smith who canrsquot be named in this article because he was home sick from work that day almost rolled his new whip a beautiful Subaru Forester XT An unfortunate rut caught a

tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

June 30 RallyCross Results
tire and sent Smith up on 2 wheels but his ninja driving skills saved it I donrsquot think the same can be said for his pants though
Jeremy Keck could recite every one of his lap times to you at any given moment as well as any childhood memories from Wellsboro PA Keck is a padowon learner under the Tony Esposito Pizza Parlor Rally Team Jeremy drove up from Wellsboro along with fellow Wellsboroian Brandon West from All Wheels Driven Keck fought back and forth for FTD in his Subaru Impreza 22 with Dave Potocki who may or may not have been driving Jim Perrinrsquos new wagon of doom Potocki ended up winning the event with smooth fast and dusty runs all day West on the other hand won the ldquoI drove the biggest truckrdquo to the event award He drove his ldquoslo-bururdquo Impreza 25 well but couldnrsquot keep up with the speedy Keck or Potocki and ended up 13th overall
There is a quickly growing list of fully prepped rally cars showing up at these eventrsquos Tony Zanni Jim Perrin and Eric Winters all showed up with 2WD beasts caged and ready for battle Out of the group the Yellow wCRX that Rich Smith built Zanni drove took the win in the open class after he discovered Perrin had added an extra run in the scoring sheet The wCRX
also held up the best as Winters lost a front bumper and Perrin blew out a shock only weeks before he was headed to the New England Forest Rally Thankfully He got it back together in time to go play in Maine Only 2 tenths of a second separated Zanni from Perrin in the end First and Second place in Open Class respectively
Other notables Mike Woodruff showed up with the most bas ass looking car of the day an old 280 Z painted flat black with Hella rally lights bolted all over it Woodruff ended up first place in 2WD class and 4th overall Garrison Mosley came over for a few runs from the CNY RallyCross Series and drove well placing 3rd in Open and 9th overall Ben Gilmorersquos Neon is still driving well although Ben didnrsquot drive as well as he has in the past wersquoll give him some slack since hersquos trying to get a new RallyCross course ready at his place 2nd in 2wd and 15th overall Ryan Kolupa and Sean Heavens had some fire in their bellies driving the only WRXrsquos in the field They both had to put up with Zannirsquos taunts on the internet about how he was going to beat them in a 2WD wCRX They both put up good times Kolupa ended up 4th in open and 11th over all and Heavens right behind him
Your top five over all looked like this 1st - Dave Potocki ndash U4 2nd - Garick Tischler- U4 3rd Jeremy Keck - U4 4th - Mike Woodruff - 2WD 5th ndash Tony Zanni ndash Open First in O4 was Andre Skandar in a Subaru Impreza 25 and first in soiling his pants Pat Smith Pat we kid because we care Wersquore all happy he brought an extra pair of shorts and look forward to seeing him next month
All in all minus a minor course adjustment due to the dust it was a great afternoon of sliding sideways in the dirt at Perryrsquos Park Thanks everyone for coming out we know we left a few of you out but we appreciate all the support and look forward to next monthrsquos RallyCross on July 28th Also a huge thank you to Bruce Perry for letting us look at his new to him Lotus and driving the tractor to move the dirt to fix the pit area And a Huge THANK YOU to all the participants who stuck around and helped rake shovel and otherwise smooth out the pit area we destroyed in February
Wersquore always looking for volunteers for RallyCross Chairs and safety stewards and timing help Contact Tony Zanni for more details rallycrossflr-sccacom or 585-281-2510 See you on the 28th

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

A New Shoe is BaptizedBy Jim Tyo
So I went to a general meeting and shot my mouth off about the lack of racing content in Top End After I got done yakking I felt like an idiot so then I said I would write an article Irsquom already more than a month behind on my promise and I have changed the topic of the article to something I have first-hand info about A new racer is baptized during May Madness at the Glen on May 26- 27 2012
Well the first race of the year is always an extra challenge for a procrastinating fool like me The question is not will there be a problem itrsquos what will the problems be
So we investigate the timeline of a race weekend with Hail Mary Racing The fresh greasy paw prints all over the lower side of the Winnebago is how our story begins What happens when you donrsquot de-winterize your 28- year-old RV and test it out until the day before you need to leave for the trackmdashA LOT Water leaks brake lines that blow out first repair that doesnrsquot hold auto parts stores that donrsquot have the fitting you need and a big brother that asks you ldquoTell me why we PAY to do thisrdquo referring to Club Racing
The plan was to pull out on Friday at 230 pm yet three hours later and two attempts at a repair with products that would not hold the pressure we had
a rumbling MINIWINNE with brakes We thought we were being smart and had the car loaded on the trailer and all the tires and tools loaded in the truck the night before However the tools we needed for the repair were in those boxes packed nice and tight in the back of the truck of course So we had to unhook the trailer unpack the truck use the tools repack the truck and reconnect the trailer We waited to plug the trailer lights in until we were 10 miles down the road just for giggles
Now I get to tell you about the real story here my son Chris is going to be the primary ldquoshoerdquo for Hail Mary Racing this year I get to spend all the money and he gets to have all the fun This will be Chrisrsquo first race after getting signed off at driversrsquo school last October when he got to mix it up with Dan Glueck and some other fast Sport Racers He is determined to do everything better than me but I forgot to tell him not to do everything that I do like hitting the wall I left my mark at New Hampshire and he just had to top it more on that to come
Saturday morning plenty of coffee on the stove all the pre-race checks are going well and all is good We got our call to the grid and Chris rolled out for the first qualifying session Everything is running like clockwork however I am uneasy about the set-up in the car I tried to predict a set-up for Chrisrsquo weight difference in a car that was completely dismantled over the winter and I was second guessing myself
The session went well with Chris turning some good lap times We signaled him to pit halfway through the session to get tire temps The wear pattern on the tires told me I was too aggressive on the rear camber We made a half turn adjustment on the rear camber links and sent him back out
His lap times got a little better Suddenly I noticed the flag tower was showing the yellow and checkered flags OK the session is over but why the yellow
The wall Apparently Chris failed to predict his rate of closure on a Formula V going into the Bus Stop and had to check up drastically which upset the car resulting in a spin with the help of the grass and didnrsquot end well at the tire wall Chris drove the car back to the pits on three wheels with the right rear radius arms and lower A-arm all twisted up
Now the clock was ticking Can we get this thing repaired in time for the afternoon race or is tomorrows qualifying session the best we can do I pondered We needed both a Plan A and Plan B I had some of the parts I needed with us but I didnrsquot have a radius arm or heim joints The old ugly spares I had were back in the garage in Rochester They are so ugly I donrsquot let them out in public There is also a collection of used heim joints sitting next to them Of course the ones that are all twisted up on the car were brand new
Plan A Crew member Brett (I will do anything) from the Great North jumps in his Jeep and heads for Rochester or Plan B see what we can find at the track or in town We need to implement both plans simultaneously and see where we end up Ready Set GO
We came up empty at the track with fellow Formula Ford racers so Chris headed into town looking for a welding shop and ended up at the garage I had been telling him about since he was in diapers Smalleyrsquos Garage The calm fellow behind the desk looked at the twisted up radius arm Chris was holding chuckled and said Ive seen a few of these in my time
It was our good fortune they had a solid piece of round stock lying around the shop that fit the inside diameter of the radius arm perfectly
Chop chop weld weld and a very small fee and we had a functional radius arm ugly as sin but functional Thank you Smalleyrsquos Now Chris has had a race day saved by the legendary Smalleyrsquos Garage He is an official racer now

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)

Qualifying 1 Qualifying 2 Race
Finger Lakes Drivers at the Glen Nationals
So now itrsquos back to the track to start panhandling around the garage for a correct size and thread heim joint It took a few tries but we found one We had a spare lower A-arm and bearing and a CV joint with us We put it all together applied a ldquohigh techrdquo eyeball alignment and we were ready to go with three or four minutes to spare
Chris was pulling out to go to the grid as Brett pulled up from his round trip to Rochester and back Brett would have been justified in being grumpy about the whole situation but he just smiled grabbed the tire pressure gage clipboard and stopwatch and jogged over to the grid (We had to give him extra beers that night) Chris had a good qualifying time despite the off- course visit to the tire wall so he lined up in his assigned spot and rolled off the grid The car ran great and Chris drove a nice race
But Sunday would prove to be even better
After hitting the scales there were a lot of smiles and tired out banter among the drivers It was a good race When Dan Glueck released the race group from impound our next problem stated to show up The starter would not crank the engine I figure we just had a low battery Brett and Chris pushed the car back to our garage area (therersquos that Brett again) and we put the battery on the charger and everything seemed okay
Sunday morning was another good-looking day for racing As usual our beloved support team Lucinda Joanne and Kathy had the coffee brewing and were trying to make everyone eat Phil and Brett were busy going through the pre-race checklist Chris was practicing
looking good in a fire suit and being a ldquohired shoerdquo (check out those sunglasses) while I was trying to get used to the idea of not being in the car We negotiated a new contract I would double what I paid him to drive the car and he would triple what he paid me for race prep and track support big-time business at HMR
With the sun shining and the car in one piece we checked the battery and the starter and everything looked good as we put some morning heat into the engine The pre-race checklist went smooth yet there is something about the set-up still bothering me but I wasnt sure why
Just before Chris rolled to the grid I decided to make some last minute changes including lowering the tire pressure in the front by a pound and take another full turn out of the camber links on both back wheels
Chris was careful but fast in qualifying He grabbed a good starting position but didnrsquot want to break anything this time Ha ha guess what
A marshal had all the cars stopped behind the pit wall as they came off the track to explain a situation that had happened in Saturdayrsquos race When they were done and Chris tried to fire the car the starter would not crank again We bump started the car and it fired up easy so it seemed as if the problem was not the battery Chris drove the car back to our garage area and we got it up on stands and ran electrical checks from front to back The problem was in the starter so I gave Brett a little lesson in removing something that has bolts that you canrsquot see or touch With the starter out we run some crude ldquoredneckrdquo checks with jumper cables The problem was
actually in the starter motor itself and not the solenoid
So began the begging and panhandling once again around the garage area We found a similar starter but no matter how we tried to index the mounting it would not work on our car No new starter so we needed yet another new plan
Its time to talk to the grid marshal We needed to bump start the car away from the grid between the five- and one-minute signals and roll through the grid to take our starting position as the grid rolls out The grid marshal agreed
I thought to myself everything should be fine as long as Chris doesnrsquot stall the engine if he does we are done
The race was great I was both envious and proud standing on the pit wall Chris had a fantastic dog fight with two other Club Fords and a newer Formula Ford They were swapping positions back and forth through the entire race The close racing was evident from the gouge out of the brand new nose cone on the car I wanted to be in the seat but also wanted to let everyone know thatrsquos my son
After a lot of high fives and smiles and drivers talking with their hands in impound it was time to put the car on the trailer and kill a couple of beers So a new ldquoshoerdquo was born at Hail Mary Racing and he got a baptism by fire in the events of a typical race weekend
(Does this make anyone really question the Glen Regionrsquos name ofldquoMay Madnessrdquo as the name of this the first SCCA race of the season at Watkins Glen Ed)
