Wefindourselveshavingourannualmeeting in November this year. The nominating committee had problems putting together a slate of candidates. I’ve tried everything in an effort to get people involved in the region and yet once again we have trouble getting a groupofpeopletorunforoffice.Ihaveno concerns that the group that is running forofficeisinvolvedandinterestedintheadvancement of the club; I just wish that itwaseasierforustofindmorepeople.As I enter the eighth year of my being the regional executive, I wonder when someone will come forward and show an interest in running the region. Maybe next year…
The Solo program finished up a tumultuous season on Sunday Sept. 30. The last event was a late add on and for those who missed it; you missed a lot of fun. The turnout was a low, just over 30 drivers and we all had a good time. The event was run much like a two-day event with the morning runs going in one direction and the afternoon going in the other direction. Then the best run from the morning and afternoon were added together to determine the winners. Unfortunately I didn’t win my class, but my car (which ran on drying pavement that Brian and I didn’t have) had fastest time of the day for the combined runs. Then to complete the day, we had a challenge series with the 16 fastest drivers running in brackets against each other and the 16 slower drivers. Well lo and behold I was the fastest driver among the slower drivers. Who said you can’t win and lose in the same day?
The SCCA Club Racing program at Watkins Glen International ended the year with the Glen Region’s Last Chance weekend. They once again put together a multiple sanctioned event with enough racing to make everyone happy. They also ran an autocross again on Sunday using the paddock. Try as I might I couldn’t get any heat into the tires and the car spent most of the day sliding around the corners. Now if the track had done a better job of paving the paddock! I’ve never seen so many elevation changes in such a small area, so when I wasn’t sliding around corners I was bouncing.
The National Office has been promoting the Majors Program. They have requested that we make our National race next year part of that program. I have talked to Club Racing and discussed our options. Now this isn’t a simple thing, there are some requirements that make it tough for us, but there are also some advantages that make it right for us. I need to do some more talking to people before we can make a decision on what to do. I’ll let you know as soon as a decision has been made.
Don’t forget the RallyCross season is in full swing. Then we have the upcoming Rally to the Glen H Curtiss
Museum on Nov 3. This rally includes entry to the museum, Marsha and I have been there before and it is quite the place. For years the region had these types of destination rallies and we are trying again. We are hoping that this might attract more people and become a yearly thing. Are you going to be there?
Well, Carl asked me to get this done so he could put Top End together so I hadbetterfinishit.Iwouldlovetoseeall of you at the Annual Meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
Until next month,Mike

New Member Communication Options AvailableTOPEKA, Kan. (Oct. 19, 2012) – Sports Car Club of America has launched three new initiatives to better communicate information to members, including a Video Mailbag, the SCCAOfficialBlogandnewcontentthroughTwitter.
The SCCA Video Mailbag is an opportunity for members to submit questions about SCCA to the staff. Questions are up to the member, but the goal is for staff to offer insight into decisions or programs within the Club. This would be the type of question you might ask one of the staff if you were face-to-face at an event. The staff will collect questions and then record a video answer, courtesy of our friends at GoPro, theOfficialCameraofSCCA.Gotowww.scca.com/mailbagto submit questions.
Available at http://sccaofficial.blogspot.com, the newSCCAOfficialBlogistheopportunitytogetapeekbehindthe scenes from the perspective of the SCCA Headquarters. Topics can range from more detail about a program or decision, to more lighthearted topics that pop up from time-
to-time. The Blog launches today, with a piece offering more insight into Thursday’s announcement about the restructuring of SCCA Club Racing.
Finally, for those on Twitter, make sure you follow @SCCAJeff. That’s right; the Prez has entered the Twittersphere! SCCA President and CEO Jeff Dahnert will chime in with his personal thoughts on the happenings in SCCA and all of motorsports.

Majors to Replace Nationals by 2014
TOPEKA, Kan. (Oct. 18, 2012) – Sports Car Club of America’s Board of Directors announced today the most significantchangetoitsamateurroadracingprogramin50years. Following the 2013 season, “National” racing will be phased out, with the U.S. Majors Tour serving as the top level of a two-tier SCCA Club Racing program in 2014.
“As the U.S. Majors Tour gains momentum, it will take its natural position as the premier level of competition within SCCA’s amateur road racing program,” SCCA Chairman Jerry Wannarka said. “By 2014, amateur road racing will have two levels of racing – the U.S. Majors Tour and Regional Racing, with the Majors program focused on clustering the best and toughest competition and Regionals focused on local racing programs.”
SCCA’s amateur road racing program has been tiered for more than half a century, with “National” racing serving as the top level.
“Over the years, SCCA’s ‘National’ program has evolved across the country into something with little cohesion,” Wannarka continued. “With only a handful of General Competition Rules requirements separating a National event from a Regional event, these two programs have morphed, in many cases, into one type of event that is managed entirely at the local level.
“The changes over the next year will take the premier events, geared toward our National Championship drivers, and provide a better link through a series managed by the SCCA National Headquarters. For non-Majors events, this change will remove the limitations that holding a National event have historicallyplacedonourRegions,providingtheflexibilityneeded to customize their Regional Racing programs.
“The focus of the Regional Racing format is on the experience of getting on track and racing wheel-to-wheel. The U.S. Majors Tour takes that same experience and focuses on
the intense competition of Championship racing within the SCCA.”
A path to the National Championship Runoffs will exist through both the Majors and Regional programs.
For 2013, that path includes Majors Conference Championships (comprised solely of Majors events) and the National and Divisional Point Championships (including all Majors and regular National events).
Details of the 2014 path are still being determined, although the Board has committed for paths to exist for Runoffs-eligible classes through both the U.S. Majors Tour and Regional Racing.
“The goal is to have a very direct path to the Runoffs through the U.S. Majors Tour,” Wannarka said. “But, there will continue to be an additional path through local events that a driver might support throughout the year. It is important for both the U.S. Majors Tour and the Regional Racing programs to thrive. The Runoffs need to support this initiative with a qualificationpathforeach.”
Details on Championship point structures, 2013 events and Runoffs criteria will be announced in the coming weeks.

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14, 2012
96 Church Street, Victor, NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any attempt to put into chronological order is beyond the ability of the author.
The following eight RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present; Rick Barnes, Carl Dresie, Ben Gilmore, Jerry Kerwin, Bill Laitenberger, Tom Langdon, Debbi Segal and Alan Smith.
RallyCross SeriesThe plan is to have the October 27th
RallyCross be a night event.
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season.
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season.
Summer and Fall Rally SeriesRick has redone an early rally. The
“Genesee Valley 2012 Colour Tour” will run on Oct.14.
Lynn Randall, with the help of Mike Brunner will be rallymaster for the “Rally to the Glenn H. Curtis Museum scheduled for Nov. 3. This is a destination rally starting at Tom Wahl’s in Avon in Avon and ending at the museum in Hammondsport, NY. The flyerforthiseventwasintheOctoberissueof Top End and will also be in the November issue.
Winter Rally SeriesA pre-Winter Rally Series, event will
be organized by Carl Dresie. “Dust off the Cobwebs” will be written as a training/learning event. The early stages will demonstrate the various instructions used in the winter series. Many of the instructions are included in the glossary of the general instructions.
The Winter Rally Series is scheduled for Jan. 5, Jan. 19, Feb. 2, Feb. 16 and a March date to be named later. Alan Smith will be Rallymaster for the Jan. 5 event starting and ending at the Yard of Ale in Piffard. This will be the 2013 edition of “The Long Way Home. Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber will again be rallymasters for the 4th annual “Ithaca Winter Rally.” (Fliers for these events are in the November issue of Top End. Ed.) Rallymasters for the remaining events will be named later.
Miscellaneous Discussions Bill and Debbi did not have the rally
gods with them at the recent national rally in Pittsburgh. The rally featured twisty-curvy roadsandaSaturdayfinishatanexoticcardealership. Thirty-three points could not be explained even by the fractional CAS’s
and odd pauses. The computer needed the tenth mode with a zero to give correct calculations. Overall it was a great rally.
Leaving Arizona, if you ask Bill and Debbi, can take several days. A bent trailer axle is not easily found. Cell phone problems only compound the problem.
Tom Langdon is now a Rally safety steward trainer.
If a charity rally is run in conjunction with STPR 2013, it will be conducted as a social rally. This format will have a maximum of 60 competitive miles.
Tony Zanni is teaching on Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the spring. RallyCross information will need to be requested prior to the meeting. Notes will be sent to Tony as they are prepared.
Curtis Braun is home, continuing rehabilitation for his stroke.
Subaru odometers are just there for effect.
The Massacre Rally is a trap rally based on the Rand McNally map book done on paper. Competitors have nearly two months to complete the rally. A number of Finger Lakes Region people have worked as teams for this rally in the past. Bill and Debbi have information on the rally and welcome other people on their team. More information can be found on the internet at: http://home.earthlink.net/~oldmaltese/massacre.html. St Valentine's Day Massacre

Official results as follows:
Genesee Valley Colour Tour 2012Rick Barnes, Rallymaster
OnSunday,Oct.14,fiveteamsturnedout to run the 2012 edition of the Genesee Valley Colour Tour, a fall-foliage social rally. The weather was reasonable – any day with temperatures in the mid ‘60s and no rain will qualify as such in NY during mid October – and leaves were just about at their peak color change. Some sunshine might have made them a little more brilliant, but all-in-all it was a fair fall day.
The route looped from Tom Wahl’s Restaurant in Avon, out through Lakeville, Livonia and the surrounding countryside, before returning to Avon. All told, the total competitive distance was just under sixty miles. Scoring was handled by way of trivia questions – competitors were given a list of twenty questions with their route instructions. The answers to these questions were found along the way.
Despite some controversy regarding one or two of the answers, or perhaps the meaning of a question itself, everyone managedtodoadecentjoboffindingtheanswers. Well enough, in fact, that four of thefivecompetitorstiedforthefirstplaceposition and the remaining was just one point behind. In reality, everyone enjoyed the drive,hadfunfindingtheanswers,andleftpleased. Well, at least as far as I could tell they did. So, it’s a win-win situation for all.

Rally to the
Come spend a fall afternoon exploring the natural scenic beauty of the Finger Lakes area of Upstate New York, famous for
everything from its lakes to its wineries. We’ll traverse the countryside to the famous Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, a favorite
for history buffs. This fun, 60-mile, easy course-following road rally includes tulip diagram instructions with questions to be
answered along the way. Rules are based on the SCCA GTA (Game/Tour/Adventure) style.
Dedicated to the memory of pioneer aviator, Glenn Curtiss, the museum contains a priceless collection relating to early aviation and local history. Curtiss began his career as a builder of bicycles, then motorcycles. In 1907 he became the “fastest man on earth” when he attained a speed of 136.4 MPH on his V-8 powered motorcycle. An exact reproduction of this bike is one of several Curtiss motorcycles that are on display. On July 4, 1908, Curtiss gained notoriety of a different kind when he flew his flying ma-chine, the “June Bug”, a distance of over 5000 feet to win the Sci-entific American Trophy. This was the first pre-announced, public flight in America. A full-sized reproduction of the “June Bug” is one of several historic aircraft on display.
Visit www.glennhcurtissmuseum.org/ for further information about both Glenn H. Curtiss as well as the museum.
