REPortMeeting MinutesFinger Lakes Region SCCA General Membership Meeting Minutes

2014 is winding down Mary Hartman has done a great job in organizing and promoting events The boat trip she set up took place Oct12 was fun the weather cooperated and we all learned more about the Erie Canal Her next event is our annual banquet in January at the Riverrsquos Edge Party House They did a great job last year and I encourage you to attend We owe thanks to Mary for her efforts throughout the year The winter rally series is getting underway shortly By the time this goes to print Lynn Randallrsquos ldquoItrsquos A Dice Rallyrdquo will be complete I am sure it was a success

Our other programs have completed their seasons Rally Cross is having a successful year Improvements were made to ldquoPerry Parkrdquo and attendance grew The group will have some work to do before the 2015 season as the town came to the Sept 27 event with questions I hope everything gets worked out for next year Solo seems to have found a formula for success and growth They have used social media

partnered with other regions and car clubs got sponsors for events and have had a very good year RIT was lost as a site but the group actually sees this as a positive as it was their most expensive site They are currently trying to secure more venues If anyone has suggestions or contacts that would help them contact Marcus Kroll or Shaun Hallam Club Racing has had itsrsquo challenge this year Lew and Wilma Giesy really came through to overcome all the obstacles at Nelsons Ledges and put on a successful event They really went all out to get things done when it seemed like our best option was to cancel Persistence paid off Next year we hope to go back and are looking at partnering with Mahoning Valley Region to put on an event I believe that inter-region cooperation will be needed in the future to keep Club Racing viable Chris DeMinco did an outstanding job as chairman on the Club Racing competition board and race chair of the Fun Onerdquo He worked tirelessly to get extra cars into the event Without his efforts we would have roughly 40 less participantsTheeventwasafinancialsuccess because of him

Our Board of Director elections are coming up Fran McCallister has gotten together a strong list of candidates for you to choose from (See ldquoMeet the Candidatesrdquo in this issue of Top End Ed) I hope in future elections that more people will come forward to help keep our region strong Our region is what you make it

The last thing to mention is our membership meetings Attendance has been very low We would like to bring in speakers but fear they will be talking to an empty room It is dis- heartening when board members and group chairs outnumber other participants If you have ideas to improve content and participation let us know

Until next monthCharlie

Chris DeMinco(Excerpted from the January 2012

issue of Top End - Ed)De Minco is concerned about the

future one of his goals is to solidify the tenacity of the region He feels with new motorsports clubs springing up today especially those which cater to a specificinterestitcanbedifficultforourregion to extend a personal hand to each and every member He also understands the importance of avoiding volunteer burn-out

ldquoMaybe bigger isnrsquot better but we need to be the best at what we decide to do and the main place where motorsports

6 November 2014

enthusiasts go to have a safe fun place to play I think we need to focus on fewer things Be the best we can with thepersonnelandfinanceswehavetokeep up Finger Lakes reputation for puttingonfirst-rateeventsrdquoDeMincosaid ldquoWersquove got a very small core group that we seem to tax over and over again to support the main elements of the club and performance eventsmdashthatrsquos bad They get old they burn out or they just get tired of constantly being asked to support the club If everyone contributed a little it would prevent the few people from doing too muchrdquo

Moving aside the classification ofbeing a ldquoracerrdquo ldquosoloistrdquo or ldquorallyistrdquo De Minco said the cohesiveness is developed at fun social events using the recent ldquoold-timersrsquo picnicrdquo as an example This opens the doors of communication

ldquoThe basic membership meeting used to be a place to do that but now with monthly sub meetings for every specialty and minimal free time wersquove lost the close family of members that should cross pollinate within the whole organizationrdquo he said

Chris sends a challenge to each member

ldquoLetrsquos make it a personal priority for each of us to go to a few membership meetings and maybe even volunteer to support a new club venue this yearrdquo De Minco said ldquoWe have enough of them so you should be able to work it into your busy schedules As they say lsquojust do itrsquo You may meet some really interesting peoplerdquo

I joined FLR SCCA in 1980 and have been a member ever since My main interest has been in Solo including participating in 20 Solo National Championship events I have been a licensed Solo Safety Steward Instructor for over fifteen years I believe theFinger Lakes Regionrsquos strength is its members The members are consistently willing to volunteer and do whatever needs to be done The most important issue that the club currently faces is being able to continue to host quality events at affordable prices The cost of everything we do is increasing every year With this reality it keeps getting harder to not lose money on our events I am a CPA and I believe that I can help ensure that the club continues to operate inafiscallyresponsiblemanner

I have been a member of Finger


Lakes SCCA since 1986 and am the owner of Thielrsquos Import Auto Service in Canandaigua with an understanding wife Sarah and twin daughters Hannah and Holly I have participated in all of the regionrsquos motorsports areas Solo RoadRally at both the local and pro rally levels including STPR and Ontario performance rally I have been a rally master and stage captain so know the workerrsquos point of view Other activities include ice cross (weather permitting) club racing (with a few trophies in ITA)

The region needs to grow grass roots motorsports activities so the average car owner can know the fun of playing with a car AutocrossSolo is the best venue to begin to learn car control It is a great stepping stone to other venues if the driver want to do that or he can stay there and have many weekends of enjoyment or move on to Rally Cross and club racing

We need more interaction between the areas of our clubrsquos motorsports activities When I first joined we saw a lot of what someone called at the time ldquocross breedingrdquo where the various groups helped out at one anotherrsquos activities to result in the best of participation and fun for the clubrsquos well-being

Tony ZanniFor those that donrsquot know me Irsquove

been an SCCA member for a bunch of years probably not enough years to hold a position on the board but that might be my biggest advantage I took over the RallyCross program my second year as an SCCA member that was in 2008 or 9 Since then I grew the RallyCross program from an average of

six cars to last yearrsquos average of 19 cars per event I also won the RallyCross Championship last year in a $200 Honda CRX Irsquove also participated in several Performance Rallies as a co-driver for Charli Tameris and Rich Smith Most recently I destroyed a transmission in my RallyCross Honda CRX and bought a prepped VW GTI Pro Rally car

I see three big challenges over the next couple years Location Communication and being Stuck in a Ditch Location all three of our biggest forms racing Club RacingSoloandRallyCrossarefindingaffordable locations harder to come by Communication keeps evolving we as a club need to adapt and communicate with our members better and more efficientlyWealsohavetogetthewordout to the community that there is a fun safe and affordable way to experience auto racing in our community What I mean by being stuck in a ditch is the mindset of ldquothatrsquos how itrsquos always been donerdquo Irsquom an advertiser so Irsquoll put it to you this way a good brand never stays still they are continually evolving As a club we need to continue to evolve as well get out of the old way of doing things and get some new ideas tossed into the mix

Three things we can be proud of Community History and Tradition

The fact that so many of our members own or work at garages that offer help and insight to new racers whatever discipline From my understanding Bruce Perry and his buddies started what has become RallyCross nationally in his backyard Our location we have several tracks nearby (within a days drive) some of the best rally roads in the country just to our south Wersquore the only group still allowed to bring our own caterers to the Glen Long live the Fun One

A second concern is the providing as part of the entry fee or sale of food

Getting Ready ndash Part IISo now yoursquore at the start of the rally Find the registration table

filloutyourentryregistrationformsThedrivershouldgetthecartechinspected(asktheregistrartofindoutwhoisdoingthat)whilethenavigatorisfillingouttheformsBothdriverandnavigatorneedtosignwaiverformsOncetheformsarefilledoutyoucanpaytheentry fee and get your route instructions if both driver and navigator need copies because of your workload division you may need to ask for a second copy of the instructions A second copy is not always available

Nowfind a nice place to sit down get out your calculator orlaptop a pencil and your highlighters If you have two copies of the instructions the driver should read through them to see if he or she (OK Irsquoll just use ldquoherdquo from now on itrsquos easier No offense to the many great female rally drivers) has any questions about the instructions (or notices anything that is wrong)

First read through the generals and the addendum for the rally Then start working on the route instructions Make sure you have all

the pages and then go through with your highlighters I use green and blue and sometimes violet ndash yellow or pink highlighters do not show upwellinadimlylitcarespeciallyonethatisusingredgelfiltersoverthelightsYouwanttofirsthighlightallpausesandCASindicationsA CAS is an instruction to Change your Average Speed A pause tells you to add a certain amount of time (usually to account for the delay you incur by stopping at a stop sign or to slow you down as you pass by a farm) I usually also draw a vertical line in the instructions at the beginning of a CAS through to the instruction where my average speed returns to normal I do the same thing for transits ( ie a series of instructions in which you have no stated average speed but instead are told to follow instructions to get from point A to point B within a certain amount of time) You may also want to highlight certain warnings (eg very tight turns blind turns over crests of hills etc) Also note any transits or free zones (more about them later) Finally look for instructions that are close together I usually highlight any instruction pair that has less than about 015 miles between them This is especially critical if one instruction is at the bottom of the page and the other at thetopofthenextpageBythetimeyoursquoveflippedthepageyoumaybe well past the second of these two instructions

The next step can be rather tedious but has to be done if you are trying to stay on time and are in stock or limited class (or as a novice competing with stock or limited-class equipment) You need to take each incremental distance for each instruction (except for the odometer check and any transits) and calculate the time it takes to cover that distance at the speed you are supposed to be maintaining at that instruction (donrsquot worry we will show examples later) You do not need to calculate incremental times for the section of instructions that guideyoutotheendoftheodometercheckyouhaveafixedamountof time ndash usually about 30 minutes ndash for the odometer check It is a type of transit

Shortly before the start of the event there will be a ldquodriverrsquos meetingrdquo Both driver and navigator should pay attention You will findoutaboutchangescautionsalertsetcandyoumayneedtorevisesome of your calculations You will also be assigned a car number for the event That number is important Write it down on your scorecard and on the route instruction sheet The car number determines your officialstartingtimeforboththestartandfortheldquore-startrdquoafterthebreak

If you are not sure where the event starts ndash where you zero you odometer for the start - then ask someone before yoursquore due to leave Any experienced competitor or the rally master will be happy to point out the start to you

The Odometer CheckIf the rally start is 530 plus your car number and your are in

carnumber14 then theofficial timingforyourcarstartsat544ndashwhether yoursquore ready or not In practice you do not have to leave the start on time you are given a reasonable amount of time to complete the odometer check but it can be smart to leave early It is very embarrassing to be late because you got lost on the odometer check (itrsquos even more embarrassing to be late because you got lost on the odometer check and then crashed trying to make up your lost time)

Why do an odometer check Your route following is based on theofficialdistancesintherouteinstructionsThosedistancesweremeasured very accurately with an adjustable odometer that can display distance to 11000 of a mile Even though they are very accurate

they can vary as road surface tire and road temperaturesandotherfactorscaninfluencethe accuracy It is unlikely that even the car that made the official measurements will get readings thatmatch exactly the officialdistances on a different day There is little hope that a stock odometer will match the distances in the instructions So the odometer check lets you evaluate the discrepancy between the official distances and your odometerrsquosmeasurements If you are competing using a ldquoB-Boxrdquo (the adjustable odometer and clock allowed in the ldquolimitedrdquo class) or an ldquoA-Boxrdquo (an adjustable odometer clock and TSD computer allowed in the ldquoequippedrdquo class) you need to read the instruction that came with your A or B box and adjust its factor so it will agree with the official distances in the rally routeinstructions If you are in stock class (you have only the odometer that came with your car) you may want to compute a correction factor You do this so you can mentally (or on paper) adjust the odometer reading so it is converted toldquoofficialrdquodistanceorsoyoucanconvertallofficialdistancesintovaluesthatareconsistentwith your odometer (examples will follow)

At the end of the odometer check yoursquove reachedtheOMPorOfficialMileagePointStop at the side of the road record your measured distance and zero your odometer and then move a ways down the road and stop (other competitors need access to that spot) Calculate your correction factor set up your AB box and wait for your out time For example if you are car number 14 and your officialdeparturetimefromthestartwas544and you were given 30 minutes to complete the odometer check ndash then you should be leaving theOMPtostartthefirstleg(section)oftherally at 614

First LegSince it takes a while for your car to get

up to speed it is probably wise if you leave a few seconds (6-18 seconds or 10 to 30 ldquocentsrdquo) early If you are using a stopwatch to keep on time start the stopwatch at the correct out time and NOT when you actually leave Note ndash when I was competing in limited class (B-Box) I still used a stopwatch as a backup and always started it at our out time and stopped it as we crossed the checkpoint line This was cheap insurance against the B-Box failing in the middle of a leg Now that Im running in equipped class I will still use a stopwatch as a backup

Now you have a simple task ndash just follow the route instructions (more on that later) If

yourefeelingconfidenttrytokeeptrackofhowcloseyou are to being on time Remember early is as bad as late The philosophy of these winter rallies is ldquoon time all the timerdquo If you are ldquodownrdquo (late) then you need to speed up a bit until you are back on time But dont drive over your head The person I rally with and I have a few simple rules for rallying in descending order of importance

1 Have fun2 Shiny side up greasy side down3 Stay on course4 Stay on time

Simply if youre upside down in awater-filledgully youre not having fun and yoursquore not on course or on time Any ldquoheroicrdquo efforts to make that turn onto a side road that came up quickly wont do you any good if you invert the car If youre on time but off course ndash then youre not really on time So rushing to make up lost time can lead to an off course (getting lost) or worse an accident either of which puts you even farther behind (and ruins your fun)

Be sure you are courteous towards other drivers It is not courteous to pass non-rally cars at high (but legal ndash you wouldnrsquot be traveling faster than the speed limitndashitrsquosnotsafeandyoucanbedisqualified)ratesof speed

Be courteous to local residents shining your driving lights or high beams into their houses is not courteous Neither is passing by their homes at high rpms especially with a loud exhaust They have been known to impede or stop following competitors
