As we start the New Year the region has many things going on The Race and Solo programs are done for the year and starting to plan for 2014 The Rally and RallyCross programs are underway and continuing into the coming months We have our annual awards banquet coming up January 25th at the Riverrsquos Edge Party House and hope to see many of you there We are also moving our membership meeting to the Fireside Grill and Sports Bar 3939 East Henrietta Rd Henrietta NY 14467 We should thank Murphrsquos in Irondequoit for hosting us the past 2 years The room we were using got to be too small for the membership meetings and the games in the room were a bit disruptive at times The food was good and the staff friendly but a larger venue was needed

My tenure with the board has taught me a few things First is that the year goes by very fast and with only 12 board meetings we have to be organized and

decisive Second there are a myriad of opinions on any subject within the board and among the region members Lastly we are an organization of volunteers and we need to support peoplesrsquo efforts and give them clear direction More things come to mind but thatrsquos for another time

I should give you a little background about myself I am a retired engineer I worked for GM and Delphi Automotive for 34 years For the most part I enjoyed my various jobs Being an engineer I found that you had to continue to learn things on an ongoing basis or you quickly become obsolete Relative to automotive engineering I currently feel obsolete Engineers are cursed They want to know why things happen and look for logic that is not always evident and sometimes does not exist I donrsquot think yoursquoll findmany engineers thatgo into politics I rejoined the SCCA in 2007 after a long absence My primary interest has been Club Racing I know some of you are concerned about a single focus but I have done rallies and solos (long enough ago that they were called gymkhanas) and enjoyed both I feel a bit out of my element taking on the Regional Executive position but will give it my best shot

We have to do a better job promoting our events What makes them unique How do we use social media the newspaper and our website What do we want people to know about the region Seasons in the Northeast are short On any weekend competitors can pick and choose where they want to participate These things will be important if we want to grow How will we adapt for the future Expenses at Watkins Glen have gone up How do we put on an event that produces some revenues but doesnrsquot price us out of the market or compromise quality Venues foraSOLOeventarehardtofindIsthere a place other than RIT How do we get members to be more active in the regionWehadatoughtimefillingtheboard of directorsrsquo slate what happens when we canrsquot

I hope that my future articles will have answers to some of the questions that were posed Change is inevitable Not everyone will be happy as we move forward We have a solid foundation due to the work of previous boards and Mike Tombsrsquo long term commitment to the region Feel free to attend board meetings and offer suggestions and ideas But also be willing to work on their implementation The region needs your support Charlie

As we start the New Year the region has many things going on The Race and Solo programs are done for the year and starting to plan for 2014 The Rally and RallyCross programs are underway and continuing into the coming months We have our annual awards banquet coming up January 25th at the Riverrsquos Edge Party House and hope to see many of you there We are also moving our membership meeting to the Fireside Grill and Sports Bar 3939 East Henrietta Rd Henrietta NY 14467 We should thank Murphrsquos in Irondequoit for hosting us the past 2 years The room we were using got to be too small for the membership meetings and the games in the room were a bit disruptive at times The food was good and the staff friendly but a larger venue was needed

My tenure with the board has taught me a few things First is that the year goes by very fast and with only 12 board meetings we have to be organized and

decisive Second there are a myriad of opinions on any subject within the board and among the region members Lastly we are an organization of volunteers and we need to support peoplesrsquo efforts and give them clear direction More things come to mind but thatrsquos for another time

I should give you a little background about myself I am a retired engineer I worked for GM and Delphi Automotive for 34 years For the most part I enjoyed my various jobs Being an engineer I found that you had to continue to learn things on an ongoing basis or you quickly become obsolete Relative to automotive engineering I currently feel obsolete Engineers are cursed They want to know why things happen and look for logic that is not always evident and sometimes does not exist I donrsquot think yoursquoll findmany engineers thatgo into politics I rejoined the SCCA in 2007 after a long absence My primary interest has been Club Racing I know some of you are concerned about a single focus but I have done rallies and solos (long enough ago that they were called gymkhanas) and enjoyed both I feel a bit out of my element taking on the Regional Executive position but will give it my best shot

We have to do a better job promoting our events What makes them unique How do we use social media the newspaper and our website What do we want people to know about the region Seasons in the Northeast are short On any weekend competitors can pick and choose where they want to participate These things will be important if we want to grow How will we adapt for the future Expenses at Watkins Glen have gone up How do we put on an event that produces some revenues but doesnrsquot price us out of the market or compromise quality Venues foraSOLOeventarehardtofindIsthere a place other than RIT How do we get members to be more active in the regionWehadatoughtimefillingtheboard of directorsrsquo slate what happens when we canrsquot

I hope that my future articles will have answers to some of the questions that were posed Change is inevitable Not everyone will be happy as we move forward We have a solid foundation due to the work of previous boards and Mike Tombsrsquo long term commitment to the region Feel free to attend board meetings and offer suggestions and ideas But also be willing to work on their implementation The region needs your support Charlie

As we start the New Year the region has many things going on The Race and Solo programs are done for the year and starting to plan for 2014 The Rally and RallyCross programs are underway and continuing into the coming months We have our annual awards banquet coming up January 25th at the Riverrsquos Edge Party House and hope to see many of you there We are also moving our membership meeting to the Fireside Grill and Sports Bar 3939 East Henrietta Rd Henrietta NY 14467 We should thank Murphrsquos in Irondequoit for hosting us the past 2 years The room we were using got to be too small for the membership meetings and the games in the room were a bit disruptive at times The food was good and the staff friendly but a larger venue was needed

My tenure with the board has taught me a few things First is that the year goes by very fast and with only 12 board meetings we have to be organized and

decisive Second there are a myriad of opinions on any subject within the board and among the region members Lastly we are an organization of volunteers and we need to support peoplesrsquo efforts and give them clear direction More things come to mind but thatrsquos for another time

I should give you a little background about myself I am a retired engineer I worked for GM and Delphi Automotive for 34 years For the most part I enjoyed my various jobs Being an engineer I found that you had to continue to learn things on an ongoing basis or you quickly become obsolete Relative to automotive engineering I currently feel obsolete Engineers are cursed They want to know why things happen and look for logic that is not always evident and sometimes does not exist I donrsquot think yoursquoll findmany engineers thatgo into politics I rejoined the SCCA in 2007 after a long absence My primary interest has been Club Racing I know some of you are concerned about a single focus but I have done rallies and solos (long enough ago that they were called gymkhanas) and enjoyed both I feel a bit out of my element taking on the Regional Executive position but will give it my best shot

We have to do a better job promoting our events What makes them unique How do we use social media the newspaper and our website What do we want people to know about the region Seasons in the Northeast are short On any weekend competitors can pick and choose where they want to participate These things will be important if we want to grow How will we adapt for the future Expenses at Watkins Glen have gone up How do we put on an event that produces some revenues but doesnrsquot price us out of the market or compromise quality Venues foraSOLOeventarehardtofindIsthere a place other than RIT How do we get members to be more active in the regionWehadatoughtimefillingtheboard of directorsrsquo slate what happens when we canrsquot

I hope that my future articles will have answers to some of the questions that were posed Change is inevitable Not everyone will be happy as we move forward We have a solid foundation due to the work of previous boards and Mike Tombsrsquo long term commitment to the region Feel free to attend board meetings and offer suggestions and ideas But also be willing to work on their implementation The region needs your support Charlie

As we start the New Year the region has many things going on The Race and Solo programs are done for the year and starting to plan for 2014 The Rally and RallyCross programs are underway and continuing into the coming months We have our annual awards banquet coming up January 25th at the Riverrsquos Edge Party House and hope to see many of you there We are also moving our membership meeting to the Fireside Grill and Sports Bar 3939 East Henrietta Rd Henrietta NY 14467 We should thank Murphrsquos in Irondequoit for hosting us the past 2 years The room we were using got to be too small for the membership meetings and the games in the room were a bit disruptive at times The food was good and the staff friendly but a larger venue was needed

My tenure with the board has taught me a few things First is that the year goes by very fast and with only 12 board meetings we have to be organized and

decisive Second there are a myriad of opinions on any subject within the board and among the region members Lastly we are an organization of volunteers and we need to support peoplesrsquo efforts and give them clear direction More things come to mind but thatrsquos for another time

I should give you a little background about myself I am a retired engineer I worked for GM and Delphi Automotive for 34 years For the most part I enjoyed my various jobs Being an engineer I found that you had to continue to learn things on an ongoing basis or you quickly become obsolete Relative to automotive engineering I currently feel obsolete Engineers are cursed They want to know why things happen and look for logic that is not always evident and sometimes does not exist I donrsquot think yoursquoll findmany engineers thatgo into politics I rejoined the SCCA in 2007 after a long absence My primary interest has been Club Racing I know some of you are concerned about a single focus but I have done rallies and solos (long enough ago that they were called gymkhanas) and enjoyed both I feel a bit out of my element taking on the Regional Executive position but will give it my best shot

We have to do a better job promoting our events What makes them unique How do we use social media the newspaper and our website What do we want people to know about the region Seasons in the Northeast are short On any weekend competitors can pick and choose where they want to participate These things will be important if we want to grow How will we adapt for the future Expenses at Watkins Glen have gone up How do we put on an event that produces some revenues but doesnrsquot price us out of the market or compromise quality Venues foraSOLOeventarehardtofindIsthere a place other than RIT How do we get members to be more active in the regionWehadatoughtimefillingtheboard of directorsrsquo slate what happens when we canrsquot

I hope that my future articles will have answers to some of the questions that were posed Change is inevitable Not everyone will be happy as we move forward We have a solid foundation due to the work of previous boards and Mike Tombsrsquo long term commitment to the region Feel free to attend board meetings and offer suggestions and ideas But also be willing to work on their implementation The region needs your support Charlie
