Meeting MinutesFinger Lakes Region, SCCA General Membership Meeting Minutes
By the time you are reading this we will have had our awards banquet. Thanks to all who attended and congratulations to everyone who was recognized. Thank you also goes to Mary Hartman who arranged the banquet and to Mike Toombs who graciously acted as MC.
Wehadourfirstmembershipmeetingof the year at the Fireside Inn on January 7th. The facility looks like it will be a good venue. There is a large screen TV that could be used for presentations and we were able to close the doors to the room we were provided, eliminating outside noise and providing privacy. The food was good and reasonably priced, so please come out and give it a try. The turnout was better than I expected with the cold weather of the day.
The SOLO group held their monthly meeting before the membership meeting. I always look at that group and am encouraged by the participation of the people interested in the program. That
kind of participation makes the program a success and will contribute to its long term health.
I felt a little underprepared as we went into our membership meeting. We approved the previous month’s minutes, got quick reviews of membership, finance,activitiesandourcompetitiveprograms. It took all of 20 minutes. My question is what do you want at these meetings? We have had some interesting presenters over the years, but people are hesitant to invite someone and have them talk to an empty room.
After we closed the meeting, there were informal discussions and some socializing and I met people whose names I knew and now have a face to go with them. I believe our membership has a lot to offer toward the success of the region. I know we can’t get back to” the good old days” when people had more free time. Gone are the days of a regular work schedule and weekends off. I do know however that this is a member driven organization. We still offer a full range of competition. Other regions have dropped programs, not because there was no interest but because no one came forward to make events happen. In our last board election everyone ran unopposed. We are fortunate that enoughpeopleagreedtoruntofilltheneeded slots. I hope this never happens again. Don’t wait to be asked to run for officeorworkanevent.VOLUNTEER!Offer to help; you will not be turned down.
I do not have a hundred years in the SCCA so I do not know a lot of the history or traditions. This is an area where I will depend on people to help me. Conversely, without that baggage I am willing to try things to improve the region. I need your input.
Thank you for your time.Charlie

The Long Way Home Rally Impressions by Gretchen Kriesen
We all like Alan. He's a superb driver. He's a dedicated and productive club member. He’s an all around nice guy.
And so it surprised me when it became clear how diabolical he can be as Rally Master.
On our way to the start of The Long Way Home rally, Jamie said, "Alan is famous for early-rally check points." Prophetic, that.
4:47:00 Our rally begins.4:50:64 Check Point #1Not ONLY does our Rally Master put a
check point at mile 1.058, but it's the ONE instruction before a short Free Zone. WHO DOES THAT? Alan. Alan does that. And that'swhenthefirststringofexpletiveswerespat out in our car and the blaming began.
We run in stock class, so each check point means, as navigator, I have to redo all of the calculations I've done thus far (about a page).
So now Page 2 of my rally book is messy and I really don't like that.
4:56:00 Our rally continues.5:01:20 Check Point #2Alan is cursed. I have to redo all of the
calculations on Page 2 for a SECOND TIME. Blue ink starts to take over the page and I have blue ink on my hands. I blame Jamie. Jamie, seeing that I'mflustered, starts to"help" by asking me if I've checked this and that and the other thing. I remind him that I am a competent navigator. He reminds me how often I tell him to turn left when it's really right.
"THERE IS NO TRUST IN THIS CAR!" Jamie says.
"It's Alan's fault," I mutter, scribbling and re-calculating.
5:05:00 Our rally continues.5:22:94 Check Point #3COME ON! Now, this is actually a
reasonable amount of time between check points, but three check points in 16.4 miles is mean. Just mean. Alan is cursed again as
Page 2 become a blur of blue. "I'm going to give that man a piece of my mind when I see him. How can someone so nice be so.... so cruel?? It's
thefirstrallyoftheseasonforPete'ssake!Can't we have at least one page to get our bearings?? Why is he doing this to us? Do we have an extra pen? I'm going to run out of ink."
I can't speak for the other cars, but I'm betting we weren't the only ones sent into a tail spin and that the other cars running stock had an equally upsetting, messy Page 2.
A few days after the rally, I was calm enough to be more objective about things.
The mature side of me (and the competitive side) had to concede that those first three checkpoints had a bit ofRallyMaster Genius to them.
I did not admit this to Alan when I saw him last week.
I continued my rant, sharing it with Adrienne, who hadn't been at the rally. She'd understand, I thought. She'd understand the messy rally book, smeared with blue pen, and how annoying that could be. She'd be on my side. I railed against the injustice of those three checkpoints. She listened, smiling. "My book was a hot mess!" I waited for her to be on my side.
"Have you considered using a pencil instead of a pen?" she asked.
Pencil. Well, yeah. Pencil really would have made everything much neater.

The Long Way HomeJanuary 4, 2014
Thefifteenthversionof“TheLongWayHome” was held January 4th. It is hard to believe that I have done this event that many times, but timeflieswhen you are havingfun, right?
Twenty teams competed, three in equipped, four in Limited, four in Stock, and nine in Novice class! We started at a new location this year, the Wadsworth Grill just a few miles from the previous start location, The Yard of Ale in Piffard. Karen at the Wadsworth Grill was very accommodating and I think it worked out as a good start/finishlocation.
The evening wasn’t a perfect rally night, that would have included falling snow to
make it extra challenging, but it was a fun cold evening with plenty of snow on the ground and roads. I am proud to report that all competing teams made it through to the finish. Iwish I could report the same formy worker crews. The crew of Alan Blood and Craig McMaster were running late to a checkpoint location and had a minor slide off the road which they claimed was due to misinformation in the checkpoint directions, but we all know that “rallymasters don’t make mistakes.” The other checkpoint crew incident was Dave Avery and Sally Bossert, who broke a half shaft; I don’t think this was due to the event, but a random occurrence that happened during my event. Anyway, thanks have to go to the many people that helped put on this event: Carl Dresie and Eric Hobron for checking the route, Ben and
Pam Gilmore for registration and scoring, Marnie Soom for helping with registration and working checkpoints, Cory Kuhns for doing Tech and working checkpoints, Tom Langdon for the Novice school and working checkpoint 1, Deb Langdon for helping with registration and working checkpoint 1, Alan Blood and Craig McMaster for working checkpoints 2 & 8, Barb Lissow for working checkpoints 4 & 10 and keeping Carl on task, Larry Wells and Paul Walker for working checkpoints 5 & 11, Dave Avery and Sally Bossert for working checkpoints 6 & 12, Bob Van Sice & son for working checkpoints 7 & 13 and Rick Barnes and Jason Kostyshak for doing sweep.
Of the nine Novice teams, John Frame and Andrew Colaruotislo came out on top with 447 points; they even had incredible

scores of 1, 4, 5, and 8. Second in class was Jeremy and Allison Charette with 543 points; their scores included a -5, -1, and -4. Third was taken by Frederick and Victoria Folsom close behind with 905 points. It has to be noted that upon after event review, the team of Lex Sleeman and David Coon had an entry error in their scoring for checkpoint 1 and their score was actually 884 instead of the 1084 posted at the event, moving them up into a trophy position.
Jaime Hayslip and Gretchen Kriesen werefirstinStockclasswith70.4factoredpoints, with Andy Walker and Sarah Wiacer in second with 417 points. Rounding out the top three was Mike McGinnis and Ryan Hallock with 552 points.
Of the four Limited teams, Karl Haltiner and Mac McCann took their not unexpected first place and first overallwith 31 points followed by Jeff and Steve Coppola at 303 points. Tony Zanni and Mark Froelich took third with 715 points after recovering from missing the reroute instructions posted at the door at the break.
Equipped had three teams. Gary ThomasandJohnKastenhubertookfirstinclass with 269 points. Their score requires more explanation due to the fact there was an extra Begin Free Zone (BFZ) in the firstinstruction,withanotherBFZattheinstruction after the OMP. This caused them to come into Checkpoint 1 before even I got there. Without this situation, and that 200 max, their score would have been much improved and they still would havetakenfirstinEquipped.Secondwasthe team of Kurt Thiel and Russ Norton with 682 points with Dan and Anna Thiel close behind with 696 points.
Thefinal thank youmust go tomylovely wife Amy and son Andy. Amy is the one that makes it possible for me to put these events on. She and Andy were my backup Checkpoint crew and Andy gathered cell phone numbers during registration. I love you both!Until the next event,Alan SmithRallymaster, The Long Way Home
