Some days are tougher than others for all of Godrsquos creatures Why do I mention that Marsha and I live in the 19th Ward of the city across the Genesee from the University of Rochester This area has been known to have bats and bats have gotten into our house a few times It has happened about a dozen times the 26 years we have lived here The problem is that it has happened twice in the past two weeks There is one good thing is that I have become pretty good at getting them out of the house the last one I was able to bat down and then grab it with my gloved hand and throw it out the window Irsquom hoping that I found out how they are getting in the house and fixed it today Marsha is really hoping that I found the spot they are getting in If you want to hear any of the stories I can tell you that go along with our bats ask at the next meeting

The Northeast Division Solo championships were the last weekend of July I thought the event went great plenty of entries four runs each day and we were finished early both days The welcome party Friday night was good as was the free lunch My new car ran great just couldnrsquot find the point where I was pushing the car enough but not too much I also found that when I had my left foot over the brake pedal instead of the clutch and went to shift to 2nd gear not only does the car stop but it doesnrsquot go into gear well There were a lot of people from all over the division that worked to put the event together and as much as I would like I canrsquot name them all but thanks for putting on a great event

As many of you know we changed our online race registration this year and this has lead to changes in the registration process at the track The Glen Regionrsquos July Sprints was the first event at Watkins Glen where we didnrsquot use folders in registration It went pretty smoothly and I think it made registration a little faster At the Pocono Double National they also went without folders with a twist they had the binders divided up by the alphabet The huge advantage that they have at Pocono is that everyone can get into the track prior to registration being open This way the drivers are able to get unloaded and donrsquot seem to be in the big hurry that you see at WGI Friday afternoon I did some sight seeing around the track and the bumps at the bus stop are not something I would want to drive my solo car across I saw several cars catch some air and found themselves turned a little sideways

Our October meeting is going to be a special meeting that you wonrsquot want to miss We are going to have a picnic and some story telling by some long time drivers (not necessarily old) Itrsquos amazing how things have changed in motorsports so check out the flyer elsewhere in Top End and come out

It is with a sad heart that we found out that Ken Buchel died on August 9th Ken was injured at the Glen Double National Race Marsha and I had gone to Strong Memorial Hospital and meet the family a couple of days after the race Irsquom sure that the family appreciates everything that was done by everyone during their long stay in Rochester I would like to thank Chris De Minco for all of his efforts for the Buchel family There is a notice elsewhere in Top End if you would like to help the family out

Until next monthhellipMike

ProgramMotorsports and Social Media

ndash MaryAnne Curry-Shults and Mike Toombs

Social Media includes the various sites available through the internet (computers cell phones and other mobile devices) It provides communication for different size groups with various connections doing anything from notification to individual interaction The Finger Lakes Region SCCA has several paths of social media

wwwflr-sccacom is our primary website and is used to tell the world who we are and what we are doing Race rally and Solo areas of interest are covered from the basic description to current activities

wwwfacebookcomflrscca is used for notification and conversation through both ldquolikerdquo and ldquogrouprdquo

wwwyoutubecomuserflrscca is a place for the posting of videos made by members Race laps rally stages and Solo runs can be posted for viewing by anyone

wwwsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolo and wwwsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupFingerLakesRally have been available for several years

6 September 2011

Finger Lakes Region SCCA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes

The Solo group is used to notify members and to hold conversations on various topics The rally group is used for notification of events primarily the monthly meeting

httptwittercomflrscca is a website where up to date announcements of up to 140 characters can be posted informing followers regarding current events

Bench RacingLocal jobs for RIT graduates and

girl friends that are into Solo and other SCCA activities would help in membership retention

Jake Bucknam helped on cone pickup at the Divisional Solo There would have been more than two if the extra people had been able to catch the truck (Some people walk slower than others)

The difference between a slide and a spin is whether you can get the clutch in early enough to not kill the motor Getting the clutch in so that you donrsquot need to restart the engine qualifies as a slide A spin requires that you reach for the ignition key

It has been reported that the ldquoWinding Stairsrdquo road out of Hammondsport has been paved That and a car with more power make that hillclimb a possibility for the last winter rally A left turn ldquoup the hillrdquo while already on a hill can result in late times at a checkpoint

Some people are still asking about the dog show at the Glen double national It was reported to be near the worldrsquos larges Olympic size pool not the duck pond

The ability of the EZPass units to be read on the Thruway apparently is dependent upon the vehicle MGrsquos can be a special problem requiring stopping still without reading unit as reported by Dave Avery

AMB transponders are potted in plastic (epoxy) to give the units shock resistance etc This makes swapping out a battery very difficult

Special MeetingBy Fran McAllister

The region is planning a special meeting to honor drivers from the past who have helped to make the Finger Lakes Region and sports car racing what it is today I am accumulating a list of Finger Lakes Region drivers dating back to 1955 and I am impressed with how long the list is We have also had some well-known race drivers who have won national championships Drivers such as Warren Agor Bill Coykendall and in more recent years Jerry Alaimo and the Dennis brothers Expanding the list to team members race workers RoadRally and Solo it becomes even more impressive

The meeting was originally scheduled for September but the task of contacting everyone and making arrangements have forced it to be moved to October The Rotary Lodge at Camp Eastman has been reserved for the evening of October 4 A flyer promoting this picnic meeting is printed in the September issue of Top End More information will be available in the October issue of Top End both as mailed and on the regionrsquos website at wwwflr-sccacom

I am looking for volunteers to help me contact as many of these past members as we can to personally invite them to this event

You can contact me at (585) 750-4674 or send an e-mail to jenright4rochesterrrcom

(Updated August 25 2011 Ed)

From the Timing TowerBy CFDresie Finger Lakes Region Chief of Timing and Scoring

The number of competitors renting battery powered transponders at our races has dropped to the occasional one Because of the low rental rate the regionrsquos board of directors voted to sell off the remaining working transponders on a first come-first served basis to the regionrsquos racing competitors

These AMB transponders were purchased by the region in the early 2000rsquos and were manufactured by AMB up until 2005 at which time a newer design was brought out The batteries on these units are becoming weaker (the working units will hold a charge for three or four days) The batteries are not easily replaced I can provide more information if you need

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Some days are tougher than others for all of Godrsquos creatures Why do I mention that Marsha and I live in the 19th Ward of the city across the Genesee from the University of Rochester This area has been known to have bats and bats have gotten into our house a few times It has happened about a dozen times the 26 years we have lived here The problem is that it has happened twice in the past two weeks There is one good thing is that I have become pretty good at getting them out of the house the last one I was able to bat down and then grab it with my gloved hand and throw it out the window Irsquom hoping that I found out how they are getting in the house and fixed it today Marsha is really hoping that I found the spot they are getting in If you want to hear any of the stories I can tell you that go along with our bats ask at the next meeting

The Northeast Division Solo championships were the last weekend of July I thought the event went great plenty of entries four runs each day and we were finished early both days The welcome party Friday night was good as was the free lunch My new car ran great just couldnrsquot find the point where I was pushing the car enough but not too much I also found that when I had my left foot over the brake pedal instead of the clutch and went to shift to 2nd gear not only does the car stop but it doesnrsquot go into gear well There were a lot of people from all over the division that worked to put the event together and as much as I would like I canrsquot name them all but thanks for putting on a great event

As many of you know we changed our online race registration this year and this has lead to changes in the registration process at the track The Glen Regionrsquos July Sprints was the first event at Watkins Glen where we didnrsquot use folders in registration It went pretty smoothly and I think it made registration a little faster At the Pocono Double National they also went without folders with a twist they had the binders divided up by the alphabet The huge advantage that they have at Pocono is that everyone can get into the track prior to registration being open This way the drivers are able to get unloaded and donrsquot seem to be in the big hurry that you see at WGI Friday afternoon I did some sight seeing around the track and the bumps at the bus stop are not something I would want to drive my solo car across I saw several cars catch some air and found themselves turned a little sideways

Our October meeting is going to be a special meeting that you wonrsquot want to miss We are going to have a picnic and some story telling by some long time drivers (not necessarily old) Itrsquos amazing how things have changed in motorsports so check out the flyer elsewhere in Top End and come out

It is with a sad heart that we found out that Ken Buchel died on August 9th Ken was injured at the Glen Double National Race Marsha and I had gone to Strong Memorial Hospital and meet the family a couple of days after the race Irsquom sure that the family appreciates everything that was done by everyone during their long stay in Rochester I would like to thank Chris De Minco for all of his efforts for the Buchel family There is a notice elsewhere in Top End if you would like to help the family out

Until next monthhellipMike

ndash MaryAnne Curry-Shults and Mike Toombs

Social Media includes the various sites available through the internet (computers cell phones and other mobile devices) It provides communication for different size groups with various connections doing anything from notification to individual interaction The Finger Lakes Region SCCA has several paths of social media

wwwflr-sccacom is our primary website and is used to tell the world who we are and what we are doing Race rally and Solo areas of interest are covered from the basic description to current activities

wwwfacebookcomflrscca is used for notification and conversation through both ldquolikerdquo and ldquogrouprdquo

Finger Lakes Region SCCA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes

The Solo group is used to notify members and to hold conversations on various topics The rally group is used for notification of events primarily the monthly meeting

httptwittercomflrscca is a website where up to date announcements of up to 140 characters can be posted informing followers regarding current events

Bench RacingLocal jobs for RIT graduates and

girl friends that are into Solo and other SCCA activities would help in membership retention

Jake Bucknam helped on cone pickup at the Divisional Solo There would have been more than two if the extra people had been able to catch the truck (Some people walk slower than others)

The difference between a slide and a spin is whether you can get the clutch in early enough to not kill the motor Getting the clutch in so that you donrsquot need to restart the engine qualifies as a slide A spin requires that you reach for the ignition key

It has been reported that the ldquoWinding Stairsrdquo road out of Hammondsport has been paved That and a car with more power make that hillclimb a possibility for the last winter rally A left turn ldquoup the hillrdquo while already on a hill can result in late times at a checkpoint

Some people are still asking about the dog show at the Glen double national It was reported to be near the worldrsquos larges Olympic size pool not the duck pond

The ability of the EZPass units to be read on the Thruway apparently is dependent upon the vehicle MGrsquos can be a special problem requiring stopping still without reading unit as reported by Dave Avery

AMB transponders are potted in plastic (epoxy) to give the units shock resistance etc This makes swapping out a battery very difficult

Special MeetingBy Fran McAllister

The region is planning a special meeting to honor drivers from the past who have helped to make the Finger Lakes Region and sports car racing what it is today I am accumulating a list of Finger Lakes Region drivers dating back to 1955 and I am impressed with how long the list is We have also had some well-known race drivers who have won national championships Drivers such as Warren Agor Bill Coykendall and in more recent years Jerry Alaimo and the Dennis brothers Expanding the list to team members race workers RoadRally and Solo it becomes even more impressive

The meeting was originally scheduled for September but the task of contacting everyone and making arrangements have forced it to be moved to October The Rotary Lodge at Camp Eastman has been reserved for the evening of October 4 A flyer promoting this picnic meeting is printed in the September issue of Top End More information will be available in the October issue of Top End both as mailed and on the regionrsquos website at wwwflr-sccacom

I am looking for volunteers to help me contact as many of these past members as we can to personally invite them to this event

From the Timing TowerBy CFDresie Finger Lakes Region Chief of Timing and Scoring

The number of competitors renting battery powered transponders at our races has dropped to the occasional one Because of the low rental rate the regionrsquos board of directors voted to sell off the remaining working transponders on a first come-first served basis to the regionrsquos racing competitors

These AMB transponders were purchased by the region in the early 2000rsquos and were manufactured by AMB up until 2005 at which time a newer design was brought out The batteries on these units are becoming weaker (the working units will hold a charge for three or four days) The batteries are not easily replaced I can provide more information if you need

Price is $50 to region members $75 for non-members and includes information on charging these units

There are two or three working units remaining Contact me at (585) 544-6482 or cfdresiecscom if you would like to purchase a transponder Mounting hardware is included

If you would like to be close to what is happening knowing who is leading in each class or interfacing with the driver join the TampS team Jobs available range from runnersposters to tapers to computer operators all the way to apprenticeship in leading the Timing amp Scoring effort For more information contact me

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Some days are tougher than others for all of Godrsquos creatures Why do I mention that Marsha and I live in the 19th Ward of the city across the Genesee from the University of Rochester This area has been known to have bats and bats have gotten into our house a few times It has happened about a dozen times the 26 years we have lived here The problem is that it has happened twice in the past two weeks There is one good thing is that I have become pretty good at getting them out of the house the last one I was able to bat down and then grab it with my gloved hand and throw it out the window Irsquom hoping that I found out how they are getting in the house and fixed it today Marsha is really hoping that I found the spot they are getting in If you want to hear any of the stories I can tell you that go along with our bats ask at the next meeting

The Northeast Division Solo championships were the last weekend of July I thought the event went great plenty of entries four runs each day and we were finished early both days The welcome party Friday night was good as was the free lunch My new car ran great just couldnrsquot find the point where I was pushing the car enough but not too much I also found that when I had my left foot over the brake pedal instead of the clutch and went to shift to 2nd gear not only does the car stop but it doesnrsquot go into gear well There were a lot of people from all over the division that worked to put the event together and as much as I would like I canrsquot name them all but thanks for putting on a great event

As many of you know we changed our online race registration this year and this has lead to changes in the registration process at the track The Glen Regionrsquos July Sprints was the first event at Watkins Glen where we didnrsquot use folders in registration It went pretty smoothly and I think it made registration a little faster At the Pocono Double National they also went without folders with a twist they had the binders divided up by the alphabet The huge advantage that they have at Pocono is that everyone can get into the track prior to registration being open This way the drivers are able to get unloaded and donrsquot seem to be in the big hurry that you see at WGI Friday afternoon I did some sight seeing around the track and the bumps at the bus stop are not something I would want to drive my solo car across I saw several cars catch some air and found themselves turned a little sideways

Our October meeting is going to be a special meeting that you wonrsquot want to miss We are going to have a picnic and some story telling by some long time drivers (not necessarily old) Itrsquos amazing how things have changed in motorsports so check out the flyer elsewhere in Top End and come out

It is with a sad heart that we found out that Ken Buchel died on August 9th Ken was injured at the Glen Double National Race Marsha and I had gone to Strong Memorial Hospital and meet the family a couple of days after the race Irsquom sure that the family appreciates everything that was done by everyone during their long stay in Rochester I would like to thank Chris De Minco for all of his efforts for the Buchel family There is a notice elsewhere in Top End if you would like to help the family out

Until next monthhellipMike

Finger Lakes Region SCCA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes

The Solo group is used to notify members and to hold conversations on various topics The rally group is used for notification of events primarily the monthly meeting

httptwittercomflrscca is a website where up to date announcements of up to 140 characters can be posted informing followers regarding current events

Bench RacingLocal jobs for RIT graduates and

girl friends that are into Solo and other SCCA activities would help in membership retention

Jake Bucknam helped on cone pickup at the Divisional Solo There would have been more than two if the extra people had been able to catch the truck (Some people walk slower than others)

The difference between a slide and a spin is whether you can get the clutch in early enough to not kill the motor Getting the clutch in so that you donrsquot need to restart the engine qualifies as a slide A spin requires that you reach for the ignition key

It has been reported that the ldquoWinding Stairsrdquo road out of Hammondsport has been paved That and a car with more power make that hillclimb a possibility for the last winter rally A left turn ldquoup the hillrdquo while already on a hill can result in late times at a checkpoint

Some people are still asking about the dog show at the Glen double national It was reported to be near the worldrsquos larges Olympic size pool not the duck pond

The ability of the EZPass units to be read on the Thruway apparently is dependent upon the vehicle MGrsquos can be a special problem requiring stopping still without reading unit as reported by Dave Avery

AMB transponders are potted in plastic (epoxy) to give the units shock resistance etc This makes swapping out a battery very difficult

Special MeetingBy Fran McAllister

The region is planning a special meeting to honor drivers from the past who have helped to make the Finger Lakes Region and sports car racing what it is today I am accumulating a list of Finger Lakes Region drivers dating back to 1955 and I am impressed with how long the list is We have also had some well-known race drivers who have won national championships Drivers such as Warren Agor Bill Coykendall and in more recent years Jerry Alaimo and the Dennis brothers Expanding the list to team members race workers RoadRally and Solo it becomes even more impressive

The meeting was originally scheduled for September but the task of contacting everyone and making arrangements have forced it to be moved to October The Rotary Lodge at Camp Eastman has been reserved for the evening of October 4 A flyer promoting this picnic meeting is printed in the September issue of Top End More information will be available in the October issue of Top End both as mailed and on the regionrsquos website at wwwflr-sccacom

I am looking for volunteers to help me contact as many of these past members as we can to personally invite them to this event

From the Timing TowerBy CFDresie Finger Lakes Region Chief of Timing and Scoring

The number of competitors renting battery powered transponders at our races has dropped to the occasional one Because of the low rental rate the regionrsquos board of directors voted to sell off the remaining working transponders on a first come-first served basis to the regionrsquos racing competitors

These AMB transponders were purchased by the region in the early 2000rsquos and were manufactured by AMB up until 2005 at which time a newer design was brought out The batteries on these units are becoming weaker (the working units will hold a charge for three or four days) The batteries are not easily replaced I can provide more information if you need

Price is $50 to region members $75 for non-members and includes information on charging these units

There are two or three working units remaining Contact me at (585) 544-6482 or cfdresiecscom if you would like to purchase a transponder Mounting hardware is included

If you would like to be close to what is happening knowing who is leading in each class or interfacing with the driver join the TampS team Jobs available range from runnersposters to tapers to computer operators all the way to apprenticeship in leading the Timing amp Scoring effort For more information contact me

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Some days are tougher than others for all of Godrsquos creatures Why do I mention that Marsha and I live in the 19th Ward of the city across the Genesee from the University of Rochester This area has been known to have bats and bats have gotten into our house a few times It has happened about a dozen times the 26 years we have lived here The problem is that it has happened twice in the past two weeks There is one good thing is that I have become pretty good at getting them out of the house the last one I was able to bat down and then grab it with my gloved hand and throw it out the window Irsquom hoping that I found out how they are getting in the house and fixed it today Marsha is really hoping that I found the spot they are getting in If you want to hear any of the stories I can tell you that go along with our bats ask at the next meeting

The Northeast Division Solo championships were the last weekend of July I thought the event went great plenty of entries four runs each day and we were finished early both days The welcome party Friday night was good as was the free lunch My new car ran great just couldnrsquot find the point where I was pushing the car enough but not too much I also found that when I had my left foot over the brake pedal instead of the clutch and went to shift to 2nd gear not only does the car stop but it doesnrsquot go into gear well There were a lot of people from all over the division that worked to put the event together and as much as I would like I canrsquot name them all but thanks for putting on a great event

As many of you know we changed our online race registration this year and this has lead to changes in the registration process at the track The Glen Regionrsquos July Sprints was the first event at Watkins Glen where we didnrsquot use folders in registration It went pretty smoothly and I think it made registration a little faster At the Pocono Double National they also went without folders with a twist they had the binders divided up by the alphabet The huge advantage that they have at Pocono is that everyone can get into the track prior to registration being open This way the drivers are able to get unloaded and donrsquot seem to be in the big hurry that you see at WGI Friday afternoon I did some sight seeing around the track and the bumps at the bus stop are not something I would want to drive my solo car across I saw several cars catch some air and found themselves turned a little sideways

Our October meeting is going to be a special meeting that you wonrsquot want to miss We are going to have a picnic and some story telling by some long time drivers (not necessarily old) Itrsquos amazing how things have changed in motorsports so check out the flyer elsewhere in Top End and come out

It is with a sad heart that we found out that Ken Buchel died on August 9th Ken was injured at the Glen Double National Race Marsha and I had gone to Strong Memorial Hospital and meet the family a couple of days after the race Irsquom sure that the family appreciates everything that was done by everyone during their long stay in Rochester I would like to thank Chris De Minco for all of his efforts for the Buchel family There is a notice elsewhere in Top End if you would like to help the family out

Until next monthhellipMike

ndash MaryAnne Curry-Shults and Mike Toombs

Social Media includes the various sites available through the internet (computers cell phones and other mobile devices) It provides communication for different size groups with various connections doing anything from notification to individual interaction The Finger Lakes Region SCCA has several paths of social media

wwwflr-sccacom is our primary website and is used to tell the world who we are and what we are doing Race rally and Solo areas of interest are covered from the basic description to current activities

Finger Lakes Region SCCA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes

The Solo group is used to notify members and to hold conversations on various topics The rally group is used for notification of events primarily the monthly meeting

httptwittercomflrscca is a website where up to date announcements of up to 140 characters can be posted informing followers regarding current events

Bench RacingLocal jobs for RIT graduates and

girl friends that are into Solo and other SCCA activities would help in membership retention

Jake Bucknam helped on cone pickup at the Divisional Solo There would have been more than two if the extra people had been able to catch the truck (Some people walk slower than others)

The difference between a slide and a spin is whether you can get the clutch in early enough to not kill the motor Getting the clutch in so that you donrsquot need to restart the engine qualifies as a slide A spin requires that you reach for the ignition key

It has been reported that the ldquoWinding Stairsrdquo road out of Hammondsport has been paved That and a car with more power make that hillclimb a possibility for the last winter rally A left turn ldquoup the hillrdquo while already on a hill can result in late times at a checkpoint

Some people are still asking about the dog show at the Glen double national It was reported to be near the worldrsquos larges Olympic size pool not the duck pond

The ability of the EZPass units to be read on the Thruway apparently is dependent upon the vehicle MGrsquos can be a special problem requiring stopping still without reading unit as reported by Dave Avery

AMB transponders are potted in plastic (epoxy) to give the units shock resistance etc This makes swapping out a battery very difficult

Special MeetingBy Fran McAllister

The region is planning a special meeting to honor drivers from the past who have helped to make the Finger Lakes Region and sports car racing what it is today I am accumulating a list of Finger Lakes Region drivers dating back to 1955 and I am impressed with how long the list is We have also had some well-known race drivers who have won national championships Drivers such as Warren Agor Bill Coykendall and in more recent years Jerry Alaimo and the Dennis brothers Expanding the list to team members race workers RoadRally and Solo it becomes even more impressive

The meeting was originally scheduled for September but the task of contacting everyone and making arrangements have forced it to be moved to October The Rotary Lodge at Camp Eastman has been reserved for the evening of October 4 A flyer promoting this picnic meeting is printed in the September issue of Top End More information will be available in the October issue of Top End both as mailed and on the regionrsquos website at wwwflr-sccacom

I am looking for volunteers to help me contact as many of these past members as we can to personally invite them to this event

You can contact me at (585) 750-4674 or send an e-mail to jenright4rochesterrrcom

From the Timing TowerBy CFDresie Finger Lakes Region Chief of Timing and Scoring

The number of competitors renting battery powered transponders at our races has dropped to the occasional one Because of the low rental rate the regionrsquos board of directors voted to sell off the remaining working transponders on a first come-first served basis to the regionrsquos racing competitors

These AMB transponders were purchased by the region in the early 2000rsquos and were manufactured by AMB up until 2005 at which time a newer design was brought out The batteries on these units are becoming weaker (the working units will hold a charge for three or four days) The batteries are not easily replaced I can provide more information if you need

Price is $50 to region members $75 for non-members and includes information on charging these units

There are two or three working units remaining Contact me at (585) 544-6482 or cfdresiecscom if you would like to purchase a transponder Mounting hardware is included

If you would like to be close to what is happening knowing who is leading in each class or interfacing with the driver join the TampS team Jobs available range from runnersposters to tapers to computer operators all the way to apprenticeship in leading the Timing amp Scoring effort For more information contact me

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Membership Report ndash Mike BrunnerMike reported that the region currently

has 444 That is down two from July

Nineteen members attended the Solo and general membership meetings

John Walsh reported on the discussion being held by the national planning committee on membership retention If a member stays for three years that person will likely be a long-term member Most of those who drop out do so before the three years Ideas suggestions etc on how to retain those members should be passed along to John It was noted that people who enter the Solo series as a group tend to stay and compete as a group Members who do not enter as a member of a group are more likely to quit

Old BusinessThe nominating committee for the

2012 regionrsquos board of directors is Dave Avery Lew Giesy Lynn Randall Alan Smith and Rich Smith Volunteers for nominations to the board positions are needed Contact any member of the nominating committee

Race Report A brick has been purchased honoring

of year Rally Party and visit from Santa Probable date and location is the second Friday in December at Cheap Charliersquos in Bloomfield

The 2012 Winter Rally Series is tentatively scheduled for every other Saturday from January 7 through March 3 The regionrsquos year-end party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally may impact that schedule The March event may feature more paved roads than typical

Summer RoadRallyThe remaining rally in the summer

series will be a social event on Oct 16 Rick Barnes is rallymaster for that event A flyer will be available soon

RallyCrossThe July 23 RallyCross was cancelled

because there were only two entries Solo Report ndash Brian Buchman

There have been two events since the July meeting The July 17 Solo at the Seneca Army Depot (SeAD) had 81 entries The other was the Northeast Division Divisional Solo on July 30 and 31 at SeAD with about 130 entries Tina Reeves and Kathy Barnes chaired the event for NEDiv This was also the 5th event in the Finger Lakes Regionrsquos 2011 Solo series The FLR results are still being pulled from the overall results

Upcoming events at SeAD are on August 14 with Marnie Soom as event chair and on August 21 with Marcus Kroll and Dave England Marcus and Dave are rookie event chairs and will be getting assistance from Jeff Colegrove ndash course design ndash and Shaun Hallam ndash chair

ProgramMotorsports and Social Media

ndash MaryAnne Curry-Shults and Mike Toombs

Social Media includes the various sites available through the internet (computers cell phones and other mobile devices) It provides communication for different size groups with various connections doing anything from notification to individual interaction The Finger Lakes Region SCCA has several paths of social media

wwwflr-sccacom is our primary website and is used to tell the world who we are and what we are doing Race rally and Solo areas of interest are covered from the basic description to current activities

wwwfacebookcomflrscca is used for notification and conversation through both ldquolikerdquo and ldquogrouprdquo

wwwyoutubecomuserflrscca is a place for the posting of videos made by members Race laps rally stages and Solo runs can be posted for viewing by anyone

Finger Lakes Region SCCA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes

The Solo group is used to notify members and to hold conversations on various topics The rally group is used for notification of events primarily the monthly meeting

httptwittercomflrscca is a website where up to date announcements of up to 140 characters can be posted informing followers regarding current events

Bench RacingLocal jobs for RIT graduates and

girl friends that are into Solo and other SCCA activities would help in membership retention

Jake Bucknam helped on cone pickup at the Divisional Solo There would have been more than two if the extra people had been able to catch the truck (Some people walk slower than others)

The difference between a slide and a spin is whether you can get the clutch in early enough to not kill the motor Getting the clutch in so that you donrsquot need to restart the engine qualifies as a slide A spin requires that you reach for the ignition key

It has been reported that the ldquoWinding Stairsrdquo road out of Hammondsport has been paved That and a car with more power make that hillclimb a possibility for the last winter rally A left turn ldquoup the hillrdquo while already on a hill can result in late times at a checkpoint

Some people are still asking about the dog show at the Glen double national It was reported to be near the worldrsquos larges Olympic size pool not the duck pond

The ability of the EZPass units to be read on the Thruway apparently is dependent upon the vehicle MGrsquos can be a special problem requiring stopping still without reading unit as reported by Dave Avery

AMB transponders are potted in plastic (epoxy) to give the units shock resistance etc This makes swapping out a battery very difficult

Special MeetingBy Fran McAllister

The region is planning a special meeting to honor drivers from the past who have helped to make the Finger Lakes Region and sports car racing what it is today I am accumulating a list of Finger Lakes Region drivers dating back to 1955 and I am impressed with how long the list is We have also had some well-known race drivers who have won national championships Drivers such as Warren Agor Bill Coykendall and in more recent years Jerry Alaimo and the Dennis brothers Expanding the list to team members race workers RoadRally and Solo it becomes even more impressive

The meeting was originally scheduled for September but the task of contacting everyone and making arrangements have forced it to be moved to October The Rotary Lodge at Camp Eastman has been reserved for the evening of October 4 A flyer promoting this picnic meeting is printed in the September issue of Top End More information will be available in the October issue of Top End both as mailed and on the regionrsquos website at wwwflr-sccacom

I am looking for volunteers to help me contact as many of these past members as we can to personally invite them to this event

You can contact me at (585) 750-4674 or send an e-mail to jenright4rochesterrrcom

From the Timing TowerBy CFDresie Finger Lakes Region Chief of Timing and Scoring

The number of competitors renting battery powered transponders at our races has dropped to the occasional one Because of the low rental rate the regionrsquos board of directors voted to sell off the remaining working transponders on a first come-first served basis to the regionrsquos racing competitors

These AMB transponders were purchased by the region in the early 2000rsquos and were manufactured by AMB up until 2005 at which time a newer design was brought out The batteries on these units are becoming weaker (the working units will hold a charge for three or four days) The batteries are not easily replaced I can provide more information if you need

Price is $50 to region members $75 for non-members and includes information on charging these units

There are two or three working units remaining Contact me at (585) 544-6482 or cfdresiecscom if you would like to purchase a transponder Mounting hardware is included

If you would like to be close to what is happening knowing who is leading in each class or interfacing with the driver join the TampS team Jobs available range from runnersposters to tapers to computer operators all the way to apprenticeship in leading the Timing amp Scoring effort For more information contact me

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Finger Lakes Region SCCA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes

The Solo group is used to notify members and to hold conversations on various topics The rally group is used for notification of events primarily the monthly meeting

httptwittercomflrscca is a website where up to date announcements of up to 140 characters can be posted informing followers regarding current events

Bench RacingLocal jobs for RIT graduates and

girl friends that are into Solo and other SCCA activities would help in membership retention

Jake Bucknam helped on cone pickup at the Divisional Solo There would have been more than two if the extra people had been able to catch the truck (Some people walk slower than others)

The difference between a slide and a spin is whether you can get the clutch in early enough to not kill the motor Getting the clutch in so that you donrsquot need to restart the engine qualifies as a slide A spin requires that you reach for the ignition key

It has been reported that the ldquoWinding Stairsrdquo road out of Hammondsport has been paved That and a car with more power make that hillclimb a possibility for the last winter rally A left turn ldquoup the hillrdquo while already on a hill can result in late times at a checkpoint

Some people are still asking about the dog show at the Glen double national It was reported to be near the worldrsquos larges Olympic size pool not the duck pond

The ability of the EZPass units to be read on the Thruway apparently is dependent upon the vehicle MGrsquos can be a special problem requiring stopping still without reading unit as reported by Dave Avery

AMB transponders are potted in plastic (epoxy) to give the units shock resistance etc This makes swapping out a battery very difficult

Special MeetingBy Fran McAllister

The region is planning a special meeting to honor drivers from the past who have helped to make the Finger Lakes Region and sports car racing what it is today I am accumulating a list of Finger Lakes Region drivers dating back to 1955 and I am impressed with how long the list is We have also had some well-known race drivers who have won national championships Drivers such as Warren Agor Bill Coykendall and in more recent years Jerry Alaimo and the Dennis brothers Expanding the list to team members race workers RoadRally and Solo it becomes even more impressive

The meeting was originally scheduled for September but the task of contacting everyone and making arrangements have forced it to be moved to October The Rotary Lodge at Camp Eastman has been reserved for the evening of October 4 A flyer promoting this picnic meeting is printed in the September issue of Top End More information will be available in the October issue of Top End both as mailed and on the regionrsquos website at wwwflr-sccacom

I am looking for volunteers to help me contact as many of these past members as we can to personally invite them to this event

You can contact me at (585) 750-4674 or send an e-mail to jenright4rochesterrrcom

From the Timing TowerBy CFDresie Finger Lakes Region Chief of Timing and Scoring

The number of competitors renting battery powered transponders at our races has dropped to the occasional one Because of the low rental rate the regionrsquos board of directors voted to sell off the remaining working transponders on a first come-first served basis to the regionrsquos racing competitors

These AMB transponders were purchased by the region in the early 2000rsquos and were manufactured by AMB up until 2005 at which time a newer design was brought out The batteries on these units are becoming weaker (the working units will hold a charge for three or four days) The batteries are not easily replaced I can provide more information if you need

Price is $50 to region members $75 for non-members and includes information on charging these units

There are two or three working units remaining Contact me at (585) 544-6482 or cfdresiecscom if you would like to purchase a transponder Mounting hardware is included

If you would like to be close to what is happening knowing who is leading in each class or interfacing with the driver join the TampS team Jobs available range from runnersposters to tapers to computer operators all the way to apprenticeship in leading the Timing amp Scoring effort For more information contact me

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Special MeetingBy Fran McAllister

The region is planning a special meeting to honor drivers from the past who have helped to make the Finger Lakes Region and sports car racing what it is today I am accumulating a list of Finger Lakes Region drivers dating back to 1955 and I am impressed with how long the list is We have also had some well-known race drivers who have won national championships Drivers such as Warren Agor Bill Coykendall and in more recent years Jerry Alaimo and the Dennis brothers Expanding the list to team members race workers RoadRally and Solo it becomes even more impressive

The meeting was originally scheduled for September but the task of contacting everyone and making arrangements have forced it to be moved to October The Rotary Lodge at Camp Eastman has been reserved for the evening of October 4 A flyer promoting this picnic meeting is printed in the September issue of Top End More information will be available in the October issue of Top End both as mailed and on the regionrsquos website at wwwflr-sccacom

I am looking for volunteers to help me contact as many of these past members as we can to personally invite them to this event

You can contact me at (585) 750-4674 or send an e-mail to jenright4rochesterrrcom

From the Timing TowerBy CFDresie Finger Lakes Region Chief of Timing and Scoring

The number of competitors renting battery powered transponders at our races has dropped to the occasional one Because of the low rental rate the regionrsquos board of directors voted to sell off the remaining working transponders on a first come-first served basis to the regionrsquos racing competitors

These AMB transponders were purchased by the region in the early 2000rsquos and were manufactured by AMB up until 2005 at which time a newer design was brought out The batteries on these units are becoming weaker (the working units will hold a charge for three or four days) The batteries are not easily replaced I can provide more information if you need

Price is $50 to region members $75 for non-members and includes information on charging these units

There are two or three working units remaining Contact me at (585) 544-6482 or cfdresiecscom if you would like to purchase a transponder Mounting hardware is included

If you would like to be close to what is happening knowing who is leading in each class or interfacing with the driver join the TampS team Jobs available range from runnersposters to tapers to computer operators all the way to apprenticeship in leading the Timing amp Scoring effort For more information contact me

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Special MeetingBy Fran McAllister

The region is planning a special meeting to honor drivers from the past who have helped to make the Finger Lakes Region and sports car racing what it is today I am accumulating a list of Finger Lakes Region drivers dating back to 1955 and I am impressed with how long the list is We have also had some well-known race drivers who have won national championships Drivers such as Warren Agor Bill Coykendall and in more recent years Jerry Alaimo and the Dennis brothers Expanding the list to team members race workers RoadRally and Solo it becomes even more impressive

The meeting was originally scheduled for September but the task of contacting everyone and making arrangements have forced it to be moved to October The Rotary Lodge at Camp Eastman has been reserved for the evening of October 4 A flyer promoting this picnic meeting is printed in the September issue of Top End More information will be available in the October issue of Top End both as mailed and on the regionrsquos website at wwwflr-sccacom

I am looking for volunteers to help me contact as many of these past members as we can to personally invite them to this event

You can contact me at (585) 750-4674 or send an e-mail to jenright4rochesterrrcom

From the Timing TowerBy CFDresie Finger Lakes Region Chief of Timing and Scoring

The number of competitors renting battery powered transponders at our races has dropped to the occasional one Because of the low rental rate the regionrsquos board of directors voted to sell off the remaining working transponders on a first come-first served basis to the regionrsquos racing competitors

These AMB transponders were purchased by the region in the early 2000rsquos and were manufactured by AMB up until 2005 at which time a newer design was brought out The batteries on these units are becoming weaker (the working units will hold a charge for three or four days) The batteries are not easily replaced I can provide more information if you need

Price is $50 to region members $75 for non-members and includes information on charging these units

There are two or three working units remaining Contact me at (585) 544-6482 or cfdresiecscom if you would like to purchase a transponder Mounting hardware is included

If you would like to be close to what is happening knowing who is leading in each class or interfacing with the driver join the TampS team Jobs available range from runnersposters to tapers to computer operators all the way to apprenticeship in leading the Timing amp Scoring effort For more information contact me

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Special MeetingBy Fran McAllister

The region is planning a special meeting to honor drivers from the past who have helped to make the Finger Lakes Region and sports car racing what it is today I am accumulating a list of Finger Lakes Region drivers dating back to 1955 and I am impressed with how long the list is We have also had some well-known race drivers who have won national championships Drivers such as Warren Agor Bill Coykendall and in more recent years Jerry Alaimo and the Dennis brothers Expanding the list to team members race workers RoadRally and Solo it becomes even more impressive

The meeting was originally scheduled for September but the task of contacting everyone and making arrangements have forced it to be moved to October The Rotary Lodge at Camp Eastman has been reserved for the evening of October 4 A flyer promoting this picnic meeting is printed in the September issue of Top End More information will be available in the October issue of Top End both as mailed and on the regionrsquos website at wwwflr-sccacom

I am looking for volunteers to help me contact as many of these past members as we can to personally invite them to this event

You can contact me at (585) 750-4674 or send an e-mail to jenright4rochesterrrcom

From the Timing TowerBy CFDresie Finger Lakes Region Chief of Timing and Scoring

The number of competitors renting battery powered transponders at our races has dropped to the occasional one Because of the low rental rate the regionrsquos board of directors voted to sell off the remaining working transponders on a first come-first served basis to the regionrsquos racing competitors

These AMB transponders were purchased by the region in the early 2000rsquos and were manufactured by AMB up until 2005 at which time a newer design was brought out The batteries on these units are becoming weaker (the working units will hold a charge for three or four days) The batteries are not easily replaced I can provide more information if you need

Price is $50 to region members $75 for non-members and includes information on charging these units

There are two or three working units remaining Contact me at (585) 544-6482 or cfdresiecscom if you would like to purchase a transponder Mounting hardware is included

If you would like to be close to what is happening knowing who is leading in each class or interfacing with the driver join the TampS team Jobs available range from runnersposters to tapers to computer operators all the way to apprenticeship in leading the Timing amp Scoring effort For more information contact me

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Solo Meeting Notes August 2 2011 700 pmBy George Modlin Attendees========Dave Avery Brian Buchman Chris Bucknam Jake Bucknam Ed Jeffries Corey Kuhns George Modlin Mike Stutzman and Mike Toombs Topics=====Course reviews

Both August 14 and August 21 course maps were reviewed August 21 at start of meeting and August 14 at end of meeting Both courses are in draft stage with changes still being made Speed safety concrete transition and start interval were topics discussed for both

Cory Kuhns is doing the August 14 event He did say that he doesnt want to do another speed maintenance type of course Course setup will be early (8 am) on Saturday

The second August event has lots of contributors Marcus Kroll and Dave England (former CS Boxster now Porsche 924S co-drivers) are the event chairs Shaun Hallam is lending a hand in a mentoring role Jeff Colegrove is the course designer with a course layout based very loosely on the Divisionals Sunday course The feature element of this layout is a long combination of sweeping rights out of the P all the way back around to the runway center (Side note in my car this took a full seven seconds at between 43 and 52 mph peaking at 100g) Split event with course reversal

The basic idea is that since lower

attendance results in us doing six run events why not do three runs with the course in one direction and then three in the reverse direction There were several reasons why this idea was rejected A) It would take too long to swap mid-event while ensuring safety B) There would be some additional work for timing C) It would dramatically change the feel of the event The idea was shelved for now Workrun order

The feedback that was received from this experiment was clear It wont be tried again Balancing run groups

Most of the meeting was spent discussing this topic It was rather unstructured and took several side paths A lot of time was spent working through the idea that Ed presented that the biggest reason for the imbalance between groups is the need to keep all of the Novices together in one run group It should be noted that the Novice Chief wasnt at the meeting so all topics related to the Novices will still need to go through him How to split the Novices into multiple groups was discussed It was thought that two groups of Novices is the right number of groups for the number of Novices that we have been seeing this year (one is too few three is too many) One idea was that it might be possible to separate or at least identify Novices depending on experience This would help dealing with having too many green Novices working course at the same time

Another idea was to have Novice buddies that mentor Novices through their day

A sidetrack discussion was about having the right number of Novices In other words should the Novice program focus on just the newest Novices that need the most help or should the Novice program handle everyone that isnt ready to compete in open classes This discussion should be handled outside of the run group balance issue and we finally got back on track

Even though the Novice distribution was pointed to as the primary issue with worker balancing across groups there were other issues discussed One of them is that not everyone is reporting and working with the right groups This may have been a problem at the last event since we did workrun rather than the normal runwork Another discussion point to help with worker balance is the number of exempt workers It may be possible to reduce the number of exempt workers in multiple areas and create a larger worker pool There is also some variability from event to event depending on who shows up that day It seems that we are most exposed when we are near the crossover point between doing two and three run groups

An observation is that we may be operating as if the attendance was greater than we are currently experiencing

Alan Smith will contact Cheap Charliersquos in Bloomfield about holding the Rally Year End Party there The first choice date is the second Friday of DecemberMiscellaneous Discussions

Tubular meat products chips dips potables etc were enjoyed prior to getting down to serious () business The food discussion and meeting were all enjoyed outside around the picnic table This may be repeated watch for a notice on the groups Yahoo site (sportsgroupsyahoocomgroupFingerLakesRally)

Although a GPS may not be totally accurate it can be useful in navigating for both competitor and worker Another benefit is moving serious competitors out of stock class into limited

ldquoWinding Stairsrdquo outside of Hammondsport is reported to have been paved Use of paved roads may be advisable for the March 3 rally this to avoid the soft muddy roads frequently seen in the spring

It was noted that some roads driven in the summer seem familiar from the winter series Getting to others is a question of ldquohow did we get THERErdquo

The ldquoOld DriverrsquosLong Term Memberrdquo meeting will be held at the October general membership meeting

A n 1 8 9 3 C o l u m b i a n E x p o s i t i o n commemorative fifty-cent coin has an estimated value of $80 on the collectorrsquos market fifty cents at the local bar How do these and other collector coins get into the currency steam

Ride height on several motorcycles can lead to interesting contortions when coming to a stop

Six-ounce lean steak burritos are available at Whole Foods in Portland Maine

Course following staying on the road and other rally anecdotes were shared They are not repeated here to protect the storytellers It was noted that enjoying the humor of a competitor in front of a team missing a turn could lead to that team also missing the turn

The remainder of the hour and a half time was spent discussing things ranging from Subaru rust problems to fun driving roads to hair to bicycles to truckspickups to pastors and more Minimum reference to growing up in Kansas or working on submarines (how many subs are there in Kansas)

The Toyota Celica featured on the front cover and the page nine article still has a dead transmission

The use of Trakker at STPR was discussed both the requirements and the high number of ldquonon-finishersrdquo was discussed If a competitor is time barred Trakker may pass that team The current STPR operating procedure should be reviewed to verify the actions taken between the last competitor and the course-opening car

The Honda Civic ldquoKit-carrdquo of Tony and Rich should be ready to run the upcoming winter series

Randy Zimmerrsquos Miata bodied tube frame RallyCross car was described

A problem with an eveningnight RallyCross event is the ability to find misplaced cones (Would the LED flashlights survive)

Trees are not an effective sound barrierKancamagus Highway (SR 112) through

the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire is an interesting drive except during leaf viewing season

Rumble strips along the edge of the road can be a valuable driving aid during periods of reduced vision Orange paint can be used to define hazards in the road such as rocks
