September it canrsquot be that late in the year That means the 40th Annual Solo Nationals are right around the corner That means that the Fun One is a couple of weeks after that and that the RunOffsreg is right after the Fun One
This summer went to fast Due to scheduling problems the local Solo season is already over There are a large number of people who make the trek to Lincoln Nebraska and the Solo Nationals I had hoped to be one of them but felt that it wouldnrsquot be a good idea to start a new job and ask for a week off three weeks later maybe next year
Last year we didnrsquot have any drivers at the RunOffsreg and Irsquom not sure if we are going to have any this year letrsquos hope we do Irsquom sure there are several workers making the trip to Road America
Registration for the Fun One opened on a Sunday night we never told anyone and we had 15 entries in the first 24 hours not bad A lot of work goes into making this event a success every year and I for one appreciate it Of course we are going to have the Pig Roast on Saturday night what would the Fun One be without the pig Of course I especially appreciate both Chris De Minco and Elizabeth Thiel for stepping up and agreeing to chair the event Itrsquos always tough to balance track time with the cost of running events at The Glen and Chris has tried to keep the overtime down and the track time up Elizabeth has put in all kinds of work getting everything ordered and arranged and with both of them putting in the time Irsquom sure that this event will be one not to miss
Well I needed to get together a nominating committee so that we can put a slate of candidates together for next year I know that July seems to be early for said committee and I kept forgetting it but with the required schedule for publication and getting the ballots out the time is necessary So I eventually got the committee together and Irsquom sure they are going to put up a good slate of candidates So please take the time and vote These positions are important for the region and we need good leaders to help grow the region
Last year we had the Old Driverrsquos picnic and that was a great success We are going to be doing it again on the 11th of September This year it will be at the Scottsville Firehouse Check out the flyer in Top End and I hope to see you there
Well I find myself at the end of my column with nothing more to say I need some kind of closing statement that will get everyone going and interested in the region I need no we need everyonersquos help to grow the region So have I accomplished it
Until next monthMike

From the Editorrsquos BenchTop End Delivery
The problems in the US Post Office ave resulted in bulkmail taking ten days or longer to be processed and delivered That delay along with the time required for FedEx to print and deliver Top End to the post office means that the previous 15 day lead time no longer is enough to get the issue delivered before the general membership meeting
The goal date for delivery to FedEx is being moved up to 19 days before the meeting This moves the deadline for submission of articles to three weeks before the meeting Articles classified ads etc should be sent by the 12th

infinite patience because of her many years teaching Kindergarten The family loves racing so much their cat decided to spend one winter at the Glen Club coming back to them in the spring realizing there is no place like home
Judy Schoonmaker 30-year member A Force to be Reckoned WithAlan Schoonmaker with MaryAnne Shults
Judy Schoonmaker joined Finger Lakes Region in 1982 Her friendly smile and jovial demeanor fooled many once behind the wheel of whatever large-bore vehicle she was driving because she quite often kicked butt in the various classes in which she competed in not only the FLR Solo II Championship Series but divisional and national events as well
Over the years she proved to be a dedicated hard-working volunteer in many facets of the regions ever-burgeoning Solo II program taking on various roles such as chief of registration trophies and more She was also the editor of the Xerox Auto Clubs newsletter
Shell say she didnt do much wrote husband Alan in an e-mail
But I think she has some impressive accomplishments
The region awarded her the Alix Lafontant Trophy for outstanding sportsmanship in 1984 and she and Alan earned the Marv and Eunice Brudno Trophy for their outstanding contribution to the regions Solo II program Two years later Judyrsquos multitasking paid off and she received the Solo programs highest honor once again Carl Blokker was the Solo Chair that year and said today he cannot remember any one particular reason Judy got the award
I do remember that any time I needed help I could ask Judy and she would do what ever she could to help the events run as smooth as possible Blokker said
On the competition side she not only won several different classes at the local level but a National Championship in 1988 in E Street Prepared Ladies driving a Camaro Z28 Add to that three additional second-place National finishes and eight Northeast Division championships
Two of her second-place National finishes are nearly as impressive as her win First she never competed in classes without competition and rarely less than 10 in the class Alan said Her first second place was to Rita Parke (Haltiner Edinger) in our car

Parke also a Finger Lakes Region member was the national champion in F Stock Ladies four consecutive years 1981 to 1984
The year before Judy won she finished second to a 454 Corvette with our 305 Camaro by 6 seconds over two days Alan addedrdquoPony cars got their own class the next year
Her dedication and passion for autocross did not diminish the same for her family Her husband Alan was also an accomplished competitor former Solo II chair and wearer of a variety of hats within the regions administration Not surprisingly son Adam says his passion for autocross began at the point of conception
Judy kept a secret from most when competing at the Solo II Nationals in September 1984 In less than a year she would give birth to son Adam
What few knew is that she was also baking a little bun in her womb ME So to say that I have been autocrossing my whole life is not much of an understatement My first National Championships was one month past conception
Adam laughed about a story his father told him that at an autocross during late term Judy was tired of being pregnant and just wanted to get it over with
Mom was driving our 1985 Trans-Am with the tilt wheel all the way up at the regions first event of the 85 season Adam said The story goes that many times that day Mom said I wish this kid would just come out already Rumor has it that she was racing that day to induce labor but all she did was put more oil in my blood and made darn sure her little boy would be an autocrosser just like her
Adam did go on to be quite successful in Solo II following his parents example After Adam and his brother Nicolas moved south Alan and Judy decided it was time to get away from
the upstate New York winters and they moved to Concord NC in 2007 to be closer to their boys
Although she and her family now live well out of the geographic area of FLR Judy has maintained not only her region membership but her friends and memories they all created in cone-filled parking lots
Michael Cianciosi 30-year member
My interest in SCCA started when I was a kid watching Can-Am and the early Trans-Am on TV Road racing looked much more appealing than stock car racing As a teen and through my college years I used to go to the Glen to watch Formula One I just loved all forms of road racing
Once out of college my first job was in Rochester where I worked with George Morris In talking to George at work I discovered he was a racer and he filled me on the Finger Lakes Region meetings thus I joined the region
When I first joined the club I did Solo for a little while In one Solo event I beat the times of an RX7 and a 5-liter Mustang with my 4-cylinder International Scout 4X4 Those two drivers were not happy about that That was quite memorable for me though Where did I go from theremdashon to road racing of course
I worked FampC for quite a few years working a lot of events for SCCA IMSA NASCAR Motorcycle road racers Skip Barber and other schools etc I crewed for George Morris for more years than I can remember Really after a while it all became a blur
I push started Georges Porsche so many times I was going to buy a new starter for it myself George finally broke down and got a new starter but not before I wore out several pairs of sneakers push starting the car You know how George is
I lost track of how many engines I helped George build how many times we rebuilt the transaxle cleaning parts cleaning the slicks applying traction compound etc etc George won quite a few NYSRRC trophies during those years George finally retired the Porsche and we partnered on the 16-valve Golf for a while After a time George bought out my half of the partnership
I also helped him maintain the old timing system he built for the club a long time agomdashbet hardly anyone remembers that system
Along the way I helped crew for a few other drivers as well Finally got my competition license after going through novice school with an ITA Toyota MR2 and road raced for a few years My first race was at Nelson Ledges There was another student with an ITA MR2 who got signed off to race that weekend as well During that first race he and I were going at it so hard the instructors were making book on which one of us would beat the other I beat the other guy After the race the instructors came over and told us about them betting on us and that we put on really great show That was quite memorableFirst race win kudos from the instructorsawesome I was hookedgotta get me more of this
Then I went on to race Volkswagens The racing fun-per-dollar ratio was much more favorable with the VWs You
30-year member Mike CianciosiMike Brunner photo
10 September 2012
probably have an idea of how I prepared my race cars from when Mark bought my Rabbit how it was set up and the spares he hauled away
I worked up to a National competition license and did a lot of regional races with the Rabbit at the Glen Lime Rock and Nelson Ledges I also did some endurance racing at the Glen and Nelson with the Rabbit and at Summit with Kurt Thiel and Bob McDonald in Kurtrsquos ITA Golf
I worked as an instructor for a few years for SCCA as well as Porsche club BMW club and Track Masters was on the competition board for a few years drove the pace car a little was in the stewards program for a while I also worked registration occasionally at Watkins Glen and Nelson Ledges I helped with the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) a little along the way serving on the organization committee and working tech inspection at the event once
I served on the board of directors for a while and was Assistant Regional Executive for a couple years and was even RE for a couple years During that tenure I filled in for the treasurer when I we didnrsquot have anyone to fill that position for a while Really with all the vowels in my last name they trusted me with the clubs finances
Well maybe that was a little more than a little history
After all itrsquos been 30 years and some of those years were pretty well jam-packed with tons of SCCA fun Particularly considering I havenrsquot been very active in the club for about the last 10 years due to my working situation I get plenty of seat time on the Thruway driving to Syracuse for work every day
I do get to keep my racing skills up though practice visualization skills keep reflexes sharp dodge trucks and other drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones running 65-75 mph in the snow etc Got to stay sharp out theremdashsome days its worse on the Thruway than the start of an ITB race with a field of 30-plus cars Going
across the Montezuma Swamp I try to imagine I am on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans only with a particularly uncompetitive car Ah you can take the driver out of road racing but you canrsquot take road racing out of the drivermdashit never goes away
There are some twisty bits the last mile or so to work so its mash the throttle up through gears hammer the brake heel-and-toe rowing down through gears for a few curves and into the parking lot Ah I still got it whatrsquos that smell Oh the clutch was slipping a bit
By the way thatrsquos with my Chevy Cobalt Anybody can drive a powerful car fastmdashtakes a bit of skill to drive an underpowered car fastmdashthat would be SCCA Road Racing Skill
Statement on Goodyear Slick Availability
Sports Car Club of America has received numerous comments and concerns over tire supply from Goodyear Tire for the remainder of the 2012 season We have inquired from Goodyear and received the following statement
ldquoThe demand for Goodyear sports car tires has outpaced our 2012 forecast by over 25 Unfortunately this has created shortages of some specific codes for our customers Production has been prioritized by our contractual commitments and those codes with the highest demand This will result in the inventory of some codes not being replenished before the end of the season We apologize for the difficulty this may cause some customersrdquo
Per Goodyear the tires subject to shortages are as followsGT amp Production1705 ndash 200x80-13 R4301711 ndash 200x95-13 R4302069 ndash 230x90-15 R2501873 ndash 230x90-15 R4751783 ndash 230x90-15 R600Sports GT1653 ndash 235x115-16 R430Sports Car Radial5875 ndash 235x105-16 R2105880 ndash 255x120-16 R210Formula

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster

Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

September it canrsquot be that late in the year That means the 40th Annual Solo Nationals are right around the corner That means that the Fun One is a couple of weeks after that and that the RunOffsreg is right after the Fun One
This summer went to fast Due to scheduling problems the local Solo season is already over There are a large number of people who make the trek to Lincoln Nebraska and the Solo Nationals I had hoped to be one of them but felt that it wouldnrsquot be a good idea to start a new job and ask for a week off three weeks later maybe next year
Last year we didnrsquot have any drivers at the RunOffsreg and Irsquom not sure if we are going to have any this year letrsquos hope we do Irsquom sure there are several workers making the trip to Road America
Registration for the Fun One opened on a Sunday night we never told anyone and we had 15 entries in the first 24 hours not bad A lot of work goes into making this event a success every year and I for one appreciate it Of course we are going to have the Pig Roast on Saturday night what would the Fun One be without the pig Of course I especially appreciate both Chris De Minco and Elizabeth Thiel for stepping up and agreeing to chair the event Itrsquos always tough to balance track time with the cost of running events at The Glen and Chris has tried to keep the overtime down and the track time up Elizabeth has put in all kinds of work getting everything ordered and arranged and with both of them putting in the time Irsquom sure that this event will be one not to miss
Well I needed to get together a nominating committee so that we can put a slate of candidates together for next year I know that July seems to be early for said committee and I kept forgetting it but with the required schedule for publication and getting the ballots out the time is necessary So I eventually got the committee together and Irsquom sure they are going to put up a good slate of candidates So please take the time and vote These positions are important for the region and we need good leaders to help grow the region
Last year we had the Old Driverrsquos picnic and that was a great success We are going to be doing it again on the 11th of September This year it will be at the Scottsville Firehouse Check out the flyer in Top End and I hope to see you there
Well I find myself at the end of my column with nothing more to say I need some kind of closing statement that will get everyone going and interested in the region I need no we need everyonersquos help to grow the region So have I accomplished it
Until next monthMike

From the Editorrsquos BenchTop End Delivery
The problems in the US Post Office ave resulted in bulkmail taking ten days or longer to be processed and delivered That delay along with the time required for FedEx to print and deliver Top End to the post office means that the previous 15 day lead time no longer is enough to get the issue delivered before the general membership meeting
The goal date for delivery to FedEx is being moved up to 19 days before the meeting This moves the deadline for submission of articles to three weeks before the meeting Articles classified ads etc should be sent by the 12th

Judy Schoonmaker 30-year member A Force to be Reckoned WithAlan Schoonmaker with MaryAnne Shults
Judy Schoonmaker joined Finger Lakes Region in 1982 Her friendly smile and jovial demeanor fooled many once behind the wheel of whatever large-bore vehicle she was driving because she quite often kicked butt in the various classes in which she competed in not only the FLR Solo II Championship Series but divisional and national events as well
Over the years she proved to be a dedicated hard-working volunteer in many facets of the regions ever-burgeoning Solo II program taking on various roles such as chief of registration trophies and more She was also the editor of the Xerox Auto Clubs newsletter
Shell say she didnt do much wrote husband Alan in an e-mail
But I think she has some impressive accomplishments
The region awarded her the Alix Lafontant Trophy for outstanding sportsmanship in 1984 and she and Alan earned the Marv and Eunice Brudno Trophy for their outstanding contribution to the regions Solo II program Two years later Judyrsquos multitasking paid off and she received the Solo programs highest honor once again Carl Blokker was the Solo Chair that year and said today he cannot remember any one particular reason Judy got the award
I do remember that any time I needed help I could ask Judy and she would do what ever she could to help the events run as smooth as possible Blokker said
On the competition side she not only won several different classes at the local level but a National Championship in 1988 in E Street Prepared Ladies driving a Camaro Z28 Add to that three additional second-place National finishes and eight Northeast Division championships
Two of her second-place National finishes are nearly as impressive as her win First she never competed in classes without competition and rarely less than 10 in the class Alan said Her first second place was to Rita Parke (Haltiner Edinger) in our car

92012 September
Parke also a Finger Lakes Region member was the national champion in F Stock Ladies four consecutive years 1981 to 1984
The year before Judy won she finished second to a 454 Corvette with our 305 Camaro by 6 seconds over two days Alan addedrdquoPony cars got their own class the next year
Her dedication and passion for autocross did not diminish the same for her family Her husband Alan was also an accomplished competitor former Solo II chair and wearer of a variety of hats within the regions administration Not surprisingly son Adam says his passion for autocross began at the point of conception
Judy kept a secret from most when competing at the Solo II Nationals in September 1984 In less than a year she would give birth to son Adam
What few knew is that she was also baking a little bun in her womb ME So to say that I have been autocrossing my whole life is not much of an understatement My first National Championships was one month past conception
Adam laughed about a story his father told him that at an autocross during late term Judy was tired of being pregnant and just wanted to get it over with
Mom was driving our 1985 Trans-Am with the tilt wheel all the way up at the regions first event of the 85 season Adam said The story goes that many times that day Mom said I wish this kid would just come out already Rumor has it that she was racing that day to induce labor but all she did was put more oil in my blood and made darn sure her little boy would be an autocrosser just like her
Adam did go on to be quite successful in Solo II following his parents example After Adam and his brother Nicolas moved south Alan and Judy decided it was time to get away from
the upstate New York winters and they moved to Concord NC in 2007 to be closer to their boys
Although she and her family now live well out of the geographic area of FLR Judy has maintained not only her region membership but her friends and memories they all created in cone-filled parking lots
Michael Cianciosi 30-year member
My interest in SCCA started when I was a kid watching Can-Am and the early Trans-Am on TV Road racing looked much more appealing than stock car racing As a teen and through my college years I used to go to the Glen to watch Formula One I just loved all forms of road racing
Once out of college my first job was in Rochester where I worked with George Morris In talking to George at work I discovered he was a racer and he filled me on the Finger Lakes Region meetings thus I joined the region
When I first joined the club I did Solo for a little while In one Solo event I beat the times of an RX7 and a 5-liter Mustang with my 4-cylinder International Scout 4X4 Those two drivers were not happy about that That was quite memorable for me though Where did I go from theremdashon to road racing of course
I worked FampC for quite a few years working a lot of events for SCCA IMSA NASCAR Motorcycle road racers Skip Barber and other schools etc I crewed for George Morris for more years than I can remember Really after a while it all became a blur
I push started Georges Porsche so many times I was going to buy a new starter for it myself George finally broke down and got a new starter but not before I wore out several pairs of sneakers push starting the car You know how George is
I lost track of how many engines I helped George build how many times we rebuilt the transaxle cleaning parts cleaning the slicks applying traction compound etc etc George won quite a few NYSRRC trophies during those years George finally retired the Porsche and we partnered on the 16-valve Golf for a while After a time George bought out my half of the partnership
I also helped him maintain the old timing system he built for the club a long time agomdashbet hardly anyone remembers that system
Along the way I helped crew for a few other drivers as well Finally got my competition license after going through novice school with an ITA Toyota MR2 and road raced for a few years My first race was at Nelson Ledges There was another student with an ITA MR2 who got signed off to race that weekend as well During that first race he and I were going at it so hard the instructors were making book on which one of us would beat the other I beat the other guy After the race the instructors came over and told us about them betting on us and that we put on really great show That was quite memorableFirst race win kudos from the instructorsawesome I was hookedgotta get me more of this
Then I went on to race Volkswagens The racing fun-per-dollar ratio was much more favorable with the VWs You
30-year member Mike CianciosiMike Brunner photo
10 September 2012
probably have an idea of how I prepared my race cars from when Mark bought my Rabbit how it was set up and the spares he hauled away
I worked up to a National competition license and did a lot of regional races with the Rabbit at the Glen Lime Rock and Nelson Ledges I also did some endurance racing at the Glen and Nelson with the Rabbit and at Summit with Kurt Thiel and Bob McDonald in Kurtrsquos ITA Golf
I worked as an instructor for a few years for SCCA as well as Porsche club BMW club and Track Masters was on the competition board for a few years drove the pace car a little was in the stewards program for a while I also worked registration occasionally at Watkins Glen and Nelson Ledges I helped with the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) a little along the way serving on the organization committee and working tech inspection at the event once
I served on the board of directors for a while and was Assistant Regional Executive for a couple years and was even RE for a couple years During that tenure I filled in for the treasurer when I we didnrsquot have anyone to fill that position for a while Really with all the vowels in my last name they trusted me with the clubs finances
Well maybe that was a little more than a little history
After all itrsquos been 30 years and some of those years were pretty well jam-packed with tons of SCCA fun Particularly considering I havenrsquot been very active in the club for about the last 10 years due to my working situation I get plenty of seat time on the Thruway driving to Syracuse for work every day
I do get to keep my racing skills up though practice visualization skills keep reflexes sharp dodge trucks and other drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones running 65-75 mph in the snow etc Got to stay sharp out theremdashsome days its worse on the Thruway than the start of an ITB race with a field of 30-plus cars Going
across the Montezuma Swamp I try to imagine I am on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans only with a particularly uncompetitive car Ah you can take the driver out of road racing but you canrsquot take road racing out of the drivermdashit never goes away
There are some twisty bits the last mile or so to work so its mash the throttle up through gears hammer the brake heel-and-toe rowing down through gears for a few curves and into the parking lot Ah I still got it whatrsquos that smell Oh the clutch was slipping a bit
By the way thatrsquos with my Chevy Cobalt Anybody can drive a powerful car fastmdashtakes a bit of skill to drive an underpowered car fastmdashthat would be SCCA Road Racing Skill
Statement on Goodyear Slick Availability
Sports Car Club of America has received numerous comments and concerns over tire supply from Goodyear Tire for the remainder of the 2012 season We have inquired from Goodyear and received the following statement
ldquoThe demand for Goodyear sports car tires has outpaced our 2012 forecast by over 25 Unfortunately this has created shortages of some specific codes for our customers Production has been prioritized by our contractual commitments and those codes with the highest demand This will result in the inventory of some codes not being replenished before the end of the season We apologize for the difficulty this may cause some customersrdquo

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY

The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season

Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

September it canrsquot be that late in the year That means the 40th Annual Solo Nationals are right around the corner That means that the Fun One is a couple of weeks after that and that the RunOffsreg is right after the Fun One
This summer went to fast Due to scheduling problems the local Solo season is already over There are a large number of people who make the trek to Lincoln Nebraska and the Solo Nationals I had hoped to be one of them but felt that it wouldnrsquot be a good idea to start a new job and ask for a week off three weeks later maybe next year
Last year we didnrsquot have any drivers at the RunOffsreg and Irsquom not sure if we are going to have any this year letrsquos hope we do Irsquom sure there are several workers making the trip to Road America
Registration for the Fun One opened on a Sunday night we never told anyone and we had 15 entries in the first 24 hours not bad A lot of work goes into making this event a success every year and I for one appreciate it Of course we are going to have the Pig Roast on Saturday night what would the Fun One be without the pig Of course I especially appreciate both Chris De Minco and Elizabeth Thiel for stepping up and agreeing to chair the event Itrsquos always tough to balance track time with the cost of running events at The Glen and Chris has tried to keep the overtime down and the track time up Elizabeth has put in all kinds of work getting everything ordered and arranged and with both of them putting in the time Irsquom sure that this event will be one not to miss
Well I needed to get together a nominating committee so that we can put a slate of candidates together for next year I know that July seems to be early for said committee and I kept forgetting it but with the required schedule for publication and getting the ballots out the time is necessary So I eventually got the committee together and Irsquom sure they are going to put up a good slate of candidates So please take the time and vote These positions are important for the region and we need good leaders to help grow the region
Last year we had the Old Driverrsquos picnic and that was a great success We are going to be doing it again on the 11th of September This year it will be at the Scottsville Firehouse Check out the flyer in Top End and I hope to see you there
Well I find myself at the end of my column with nothing more to say I need some kind of closing statement that will get everyone going and interested in the region I need no we need everyonersquos help to grow the region So have I accomplished it
Until next monthMike

From the Editorrsquos BenchTop End Delivery
The problems in the US Post Office ave resulted in bulkmail taking ten days or longer to be processed and delivered That delay along with the time required for FedEx to print and deliver Top End to the post office means that the previous 15 day lead time no longer is enough to get the issue delivered before the general membership meeting
The goal date for delivery to FedEx is being moved up to 19 days before the meeting This moves the deadline for submission of articles to three weeks before the meeting Articles classified ads etc should be sent by the 12th

infinite patience because of her many years teaching Kindergarten The family loves racing so much their cat decided to spend one winter at the Glen Club coming back to them in the spring realizing there is no place like home
Judy Schoonmaker 30-year member A Force to be Reckoned WithAlan Schoonmaker with MaryAnne Shults
Judy Schoonmaker joined Finger Lakes Region in 1982 Her friendly smile and jovial demeanor fooled many once behind the wheel of whatever large-bore vehicle she was driving because she quite often kicked butt in the various classes in which she competed in not only the FLR Solo II Championship Series but divisional and national events as well
Over the years she proved to be a dedicated hard-working volunteer in many facets of the regions ever-burgeoning Solo II program taking on various roles such as chief of registration trophies and more She was also the editor of the Xerox Auto Clubs newsletter
Shell say she didnt do much wrote husband Alan in an e-mail
But I think she has some impressive accomplishments
The region awarded her the Alix Lafontant Trophy for outstanding sportsmanship in 1984 and she and Alan earned the Marv and Eunice Brudno Trophy for their outstanding contribution to the regions Solo II program Two years later Judyrsquos multitasking paid off and she received the Solo programs highest honor once again Carl Blokker was the Solo Chair that year and said today he cannot remember any one particular reason Judy got the award
I do remember that any time I needed help I could ask Judy and she would do what ever she could to help the events run as smooth as possible Blokker said
On the competition side she not only won several different classes at the local level but a National Championship in 1988 in E Street Prepared Ladies driving a Camaro Z28 Add to that three additional second-place National finishes and eight Northeast Division championships
Two of her second-place National finishes are nearly as impressive as her win First she never competed in classes without competition and rarely less than 10 in the class Alan said Her first second place was to Rita Parke (Haltiner Edinger) in our car

Parke also a Finger Lakes Region member was the national champion in F Stock Ladies four consecutive years 1981 to 1984
The year before Judy won she finished second to a 454 Corvette with our 305 Camaro by 6 seconds over two days Alan addedrdquoPony cars got their own class the next year
Her dedication and passion for autocross did not diminish the same for her family Her husband Alan was also an accomplished competitor former Solo II chair and wearer of a variety of hats within the regions administration Not surprisingly son Adam says his passion for autocross began at the point of conception
Judy kept a secret from most when competing at the Solo II Nationals in September 1984 In less than a year she would give birth to son Adam
What few knew is that she was also baking a little bun in her womb ME So to say that I have been autocrossing my whole life is not much of an understatement My first National Championships was one month past conception
Adam laughed about a story his father told him that at an autocross during late term Judy was tired of being pregnant and just wanted to get it over with
Mom was driving our 1985 Trans-Am with the tilt wheel all the way up at the regions first event of the 85 season Adam said The story goes that many times that day Mom said I wish this kid would just come out already Rumor has it that she was racing that day to induce labor but all she did was put more oil in my blood and made darn sure her little boy would be an autocrosser just like her
Adam did go on to be quite successful in Solo II following his parents example After Adam and his brother Nicolas moved south Alan and Judy decided it was time to get away from
the upstate New York winters and they moved to Concord NC in 2007 to be closer to their boys
Although she and her family now live well out of the geographic area of FLR Judy has maintained not only her region membership but her friends and memories they all created in cone-filled parking lots
Michael Cianciosi 30-year member
My interest in SCCA started when I was a kid watching Can-Am and the early Trans-Am on TV Road racing looked much more appealing than stock car racing As a teen and through my college years I used to go to the Glen to watch Formula One I just loved all forms of road racing
Once out of college my first job was in Rochester where I worked with George Morris In talking to George at work I discovered he was a racer and he filled me on the Finger Lakes Region meetings thus I joined the region
When I first joined the club I did Solo for a little while In one Solo event I beat the times of an RX7 and a 5-liter Mustang with my 4-cylinder International Scout 4X4 Those two drivers were not happy about that That was quite memorable for me though Where did I go from theremdashon to road racing of course
I worked FampC for quite a few years working a lot of events for SCCA IMSA NASCAR Motorcycle road racers Skip Barber and other schools etc I crewed for George Morris for more years than I can remember Really after a while it all became a blur
I push started Georges Porsche so many times I was going to buy a new starter for it myself George finally broke down and got a new starter but not before I wore out several pairs of sneakers push starting the car You know how George is
I lost track of how many engines I helped George build how many times we rebuilt the transaxle cleaning parts cleaning the slicks applying traction compound etc etc George won quite a few NYSRRC trophies during those years George finally retired the Porsche and we partnered on the 16-valve Golf for a while After a time George bought out my half of the partnership
I also helped him maintain the old timing system he built for the club a long time agomdashbet hardly anyone remembers that system
Along the way I helped crew for a few other drivers as well Finally got my competition license after going through novice school with an ITA Toyota MR2 and road raced for a few years My first race was at Nelson Ledges There was another student with an ITA MR2 who got signed off to race that weekend as well During that first race he and I were going at it so hard the instructors were making book on which one of us would beat the other I beat the other guy After the race the instructors came over and told us about them betting on us and that we put on really great show That was quite memorableFirst race win kudos from the instructorsawesome I was hookedgotta get me more of this
Then I went on to race Volkswagens The racing fun-per-dollar ratio was much more favorable with the VWs You
30-year member Mike CianciosiMike Brunner photo
10 September 2012
probably have an idea of how I prepared my race cars from when Mark bought my Rabbit how it was set up and the spares he hauled away
I worked up to a National competition license and did a lot of regional races with the Rabbit at the Glen Lime Rock and Nelson Ledges I also did some endurance racing at the Glen and Nelson with the Rabbit and at Summit with Kurt Thiel and Bob McDonald in Kurtrsquos ITA Golf
I worked as an instructor for a few years for SCCA as well as Porsche club BMW club and Track Masters was on the competition board for a few years drove the pace car a little was in the stewards program for a while I also worked registration occasionally at Watkins Glen and Nelson Ledges I helped with the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) a little along the way serving on the organization committee and working tech inspection at the event once
I served on the board of directors for a while and was Assistant Regional Executive for a couple years and was even RE for a couple years During that tenure I filled in for the treasurer when I we didnrsquot have anyone to fill that position for a while Really with all the vowels in my last name they trusted me with the clubs finances
Well maybe that was a little more than a little history
After all itrsquos been 30 years and some of those years were pretty well jam-packed with tons of SCCA fun Particularly considering I havenrsquot been very active in the club for about the last 10 years due to my working situation I get plenty of seat time on the Thruway driving to Syracuse for work every day
I do get to keep my racing skills up though practice visualization skills keep reflexes sharp dodge trucks and other drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones running 65-75 mph in the snow etc Got to stay sharp out theremdashsome days its worse on the Thruway than the start of an ITB race with a field of 30-plus cars Going
across the Montezuma Swamp I try to imagine I am on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans only with a particularly uncompetitive car Ah you can take the driver out of road racing but you canrsquot take road racing out of the drivermdashit never goes away
There are some twisty bits the last mile or so to work so its mash the throttle up through gears hammer the brake heel-and-toe rowing down through gears for a few curves and into the parking lot Ah I still got it whatrsquos that smell Oh the clutch was slipping a bit
By the way thatrsquos with my Chevy Cobalt Anybody can drive a powerful car fastmdashtakes a bit of skill to drive an underpowered car fastmdashthat would be SCCA Road Racing Skill
Statement on Goodyear Slick Availability
Sports Car Club of America has received numerous comments and concerns over tire supply from Goodyear Tire for the remainder of the 2012 season We have inquired from Goodyear and received the following statement
ldquoThe demand for Goodyear sports car tires has outpaced our 2012 forecast by over 25 Unfortunately this has created shortages of some specific codes for our customers Production has been prioritized by our contractual commitments and those codes with the highest demand This will result in the inventory of some codes not being replenished before the end of the season We apologize for the difficulty this may cause some customersrdquo

RallyTom LangdonInterim Rally Chair
Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster
Rick will be writing a ldquosocialrdquo rally to be run October 14
Winter Rally SeriesDecember 1 will be requested for the
running of a pre-Winter Rally Series event This will be an opportunity to refresh driving and navigating skills practice new techniques andor learn how to compete in a winter rally Worker training will also be available
The first and third Saturdays of January and February Jan 5 Jan 19 Feb 2 Feb 16 and a March date will be requested for the 2013 Winter Rally Series Rallymasters will be named later
Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

September it canrsquot be that late in the year That means the 40th Annual Solo Nationals are right around the corner That means that the Fun One is a couple of weeks after that and that the RunOffsreg is right after the Fun One
This summer went to fast Due to scheduling problems the local Solo season is already over There are a large number of people who make the trek to Lincoln Nebraska and the Solo Nationals I had hoped to be one of them but felt that it wouldnrsquot be a good idea to start a new job and ask for a week off three weeks later maybe next year
Last year we didnrsquot have any drivers at the RunOffsreg and Irsquom not sure if we are going to have any this year letrsquos hope we do Irsquom sure there are several workers making the trip to Road America
Registration for the Fun One opened on a Sunday night we never told anyone and we had 15 entries in the first 24 hours not bad A lot of work goes into making this event a success every year and I for one appreciate it Of course we are going to have the Pig Roast on Saturday night what would the Fun One be without the pig Of course I especially appreciate both Chris De Minco and Elizabeth Thiel for stepping up and agreeing to chair the event Itrsquos always tough to balance track time with the cost of running events at The Glen and Chris has tried to keep the overtime down and the track time up Elizabeth has put in all kinds of work getting everything ordered and arranged and with both of them putting in the time Irsquom sure that this event will be one not to miss
Well I needed to get together a nominating committee so that we can put a slate of candidates together for next year I know that July seems to be early for said committee and I kept forgetting it but with the required schedule for publication and getting the ballots out the time is necessary So I eventually got the committee together and Irsquom sure they are going to put up a good slate of candidates So please take the time and vote These positions are important for the region and we need good leaders to help grow the region
Last year we had the Old Driverrsquos picnic and that was a great success We are going to be doing it again on the 11th of September This year it will be at the Scottsville Firehouse Check out the flyer in Top End and I hope to see you there
Well I find myself at the end of my column with nothing more to say I need some kind of closing statement that will get everyone going and interested in the region I need no we need everyonersquos help to grow the region So have I accomplished it
Until next monthMike

From the Editorrsquos BenchTop End Delivery
The problems in the US Post Office ave resulted in bulkmail taking ten days or longer to be processed and delivered That delay along with the time required for FedEx to print and deliver Top End to the post office means that the previous 15 day lead time no longer is enough to get the issue delivered before the general membership meeting
The goal date for delivery to FedEx is being moved up to 19 days before the meeting This moves the deadline for submission of articles to three weeks before the meeting Articles classified ads etc should be sent by the 12th

infinite patience because of her many years teaching Kindergarten The family loves racing so much their cat decided to spend one winter at the Glen Club coming back to them in the spring realizing there is no place like home
Judy Schoonmaker 30-year member A Force to be Reckoned WithAlan Schoonmaker with MaryAnne Shults
Judy Schoonmaker joined Finger Lakes Region in 1982 Her friendly smile and jovial demeanor fooled many once behind the wheel of whatever large-bore vehicle she was driving because she quite often kicked butt in the various classes in which she competed in not only the FLR Solo II Championship Series but divisional and national events as well
Over the years she proved to be a dedicated hard-working volunteer in many facets of the regions ever-burgeoning Solo II program taking on various roles such as chief of registration trophies and more She was also the editor of the Xerox Auto Clubs newsletter
Shell say she didnt do much wrote husband Alan in an e-mail
But I think she has some impressive accomplishments
The region awarded her the Alix Lafontant Trophy for outstanding sportsmanship in 1984 and she and Alan earned the Marv and Eunice Brudno Trophy for their outstanding contribution to the regions Solo II program Two years later Judyrsquos multitasking paid off and she received the Solo programs highest honor once again Carl Blokker was the Solo Chair that year and said today he cannot remember any one particular reason Judy got the award
I do remember that any time I needed help I could ask Judy and she would do what ever she could to help the events run as smooth as possible Blokker said
On the competition side she not only won several different classes at the local level but a National Championship in 1988 in E Street Prepared Ladies driving a Camaro Z28 Add to that three additional second-place National finishes and eight Northeast Division championships
Two of her second-place National finishes are nearly as impressive as her win First she never competed in classes without competition and rarely less than 10 in the class Alan said Her first second place was to Rita Parke (Haltiner Edinger) in our car
30-year member Judy Schoonmaker holds her grandchild Sage Will there be a kart in the garage in a few years

92012 September
Parke also a Finger Lakes Region member was the national champion in F Stock Ladies four consecutive years 1981 to 1984
The year before Judy won she finished second to a 454 Corvette with our 305 Camaro by 6 seconds over two days Alan addedrdquoPony cars got their own class the next year
Her dedication and passion for autocross did not diminish the same for her family Her husband Alan was also an accomplished competitor former Solo II chair and wearer of a variety of hats within the regions administration Not surprisingly son Adam says his passion for autocross began at the point of conception
Judy kept a secret from most when competing at the Solo II Nationals in September 1984 In less than a year she would give birth to son Adam
What few knew is that she was also baking a little bun in her womb ME So to say that I have been autocrossing my whole life is not much of an understatement My first National Championships was one month past conception
Adam laughed about a story his father told him that at an autocross during late term Judy was tired of being pregnant and just wanted to get it over with
Mom was driving our 1985 Trans-Am with the tilt wheel all the way up at the regions first event of the 85 season Adam said The story goes that many times that day Mom said I wish this kid would just come out already Rumor has it that she was racing that day to induce labor but all she did was put more oil in my blood and made darn sure her little boy would be an autocrosser just like her
Adam did go on to be quite successful in Solo II following his parents example After Adam and his brother Nicolas moved south Alan and Judy decided it was time to get away from
the upstate New York winters and they moved to Concord NC in 2007 to be closer to their boys
Although she and her family now live well out of the geographic area of FLR Judy has maintained not only her region membership but her friends and memories they all created in cone-filled parking lots
Michael Cianciosi 30-year member
My interest in SCCA started when I was a kid watching Can-Am and the early Trans-Am on TV Road racing looked much more appealing than stock car racing As a teen and through my college years I used to go to the Glen to watch Formula One I just loved all forms of road racing
Once out of college my first job was in Rochester where I worked with George Morris In talking to George at work I discovered he was a racer and he filled me on the Finger Lakes Region meetings thus I joined the region
When I first joined the club I did Solo for a little while In one Solo event I beat the times of an RX7 and a 5-liter Mustang with my 4-cylinder International Scout 4X4 Those two drivers were not happy about that That was quite memorable for me though Where did I go from theremdashon to road racing of course
I worked FampC for quite a few years working a lot of events for SCCA IMSA NASCAR Motorcycle road racers Skip Barber and other schools etc I crewed for George Morris for more years than I can remember Really after a while it all became a blur
I push started Georges Porsche so many times I was going to buy a new starter for it myself George finally broke down and got a new starter but not before I wore out several pairs of sneakers push starting the car You know how George is
I lost track of how many engines I helped George build how many times we rebuilt the transaxle cleaning parts cleaning the slicks applying traction compound etc etc George won quite a few NYSRRC trophies during those years George finally retired the Porsche and we partnered on the 16-valve Golf for a while After a time George bought out my half of the partnership
I also helped him maintain the old timing system he built for the club a long time agomdashbet hardly anyone remembers that system
Along the way I helped crew for a few other drivers as well Finally got my competition license after going through novice school with an ITA Toyota MR2 and road raced for a few years My first race was at Nelson Ledges There was another student with an ITA MR2 who got signed off to race that weekend as well During that first race he and I were going at it so hard the instructors were making book on which one of us would beat the other I beat the other guy After the race the instructors came over and told us about them betting on us and that we put on really great show That was quite memorableFirst race win kudos from the instructorsawesome I was hookedgotta get me more of this
Then I went on to race Volkswagens The racing fun-per-dollar ratio was much more favorable with the VWs You
30-year member Mike CianciosiMike Brunner photo
10 September 2012
probably have an idea of how I prepared my race cars from when Mark bought my Rabbit how it was set up and the spares he hauled away
I worked up to a National competition license and did a lot of regional races with the Rabbit at the Glen Lime Rock and Nelson Ledges I also did some endurance racing at the Glen and Nelson with the Rabbit and at Summit with Kurt Thiel and Bob McDonald in Kurtrsquos ITA Golf
I worked as an instructor for a few years for SCCA as well as Porsche club BMW club and Track Masters was on the competition board for a few years drove the pace car a little was in the stewards program for a while I also worked registration occasionally at Watkins Glen and Nelson Ledges I helped with the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) a little along the way serving on the organization committee and working tech inspection at the event once
I served on the board of directors for a while and was Assistant Regional Executive for a couple years and was even RE for a couple years During that tenure I filled in for the treasurer when I we didnrsquot have anyone to fill that position for a while Really with all the vowels in my last name they trusted me with the clubs finances
Well maybe that was a little more than a little history
After all itrsquos been 30 years and some of those years were pretty well jam-packed with tons of SCCA fun Particularly considering I havenrsquot been very active in the club for about the last 10 years due to my working situation I get plenty of seat time on the Thruway driving to Syracuse for work every day
I do get to keep my racing skills up though practice visualization skills keep reflexes sharp dodge trucks and other drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones running 65-75 mph in the snow etc Got to stay sharp out theremdashsome days its worse on the Thruway than the start of an ITB race with a field of 30-plus cars Going
across the Montezuma Swamp I try to imagine I am on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans only with a particularly uncompetitive car Ah you can take the driver out of road racing but you canrsquot take road racing out of the drivermdashit never goes away
There are some twisty bits the last mile or so to work so its mash the throttle up through gears hammer the brake heel-and-toe rowing down through gears for a few curves and into the parking lot Ah I still got it whatrsquos that smell Oh the clutch was slipping a bit
By the way thatrsquos with my Chevy Cobalt Anybody can drive a powerful car fastmdashtakes a bit of skill to drive an underpowered car fastmdashthat would be SCCA Road Racing Skill
Statement on Goodyear Slick Availability
Sports Car Club of America has received numerous comments and concerns over tire supply from Goodyear Tire for the remainder of the 2012 season We have inquired from Goodyear and received the following statement
ldquoThe demand for Goodyear sports car tires has outpaced our 2012 forecast by over 25 Unfortunately this has created shortages of some specific codes for our customers Production has been prioritized by our contractual commitments and those codes with the highest demand This will result in the inventory of some codes not being replenished before the end of the season We apologize for the difficulty this may cause some customersrdquo
Per Goodyear the tires subject to shortages are as followsGT amp Production1705 ndash 200x80-13 R4301711 ndash 200x95-13 R4302069 ndash 230x90-15 R2501873 ndash 230x90-15 R4751783 ndash 230x90-15 R600Sports GT1653 ndash 235x115-16 R430Sports Car Radial5875 ndash 235x105-16 R2105880 ndash 255x120-16 R210Formula

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster

Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

From the Editorrsquos BenchTop End Delivery
The problems in the US Post Office ave resulted in bulkmail taking ten days or longer to be processed and delivered That delay along with the time required for FedEx to print and deliver Top End to the post office means that the previous 15 day lead time no longer is enough to get the issue delivered before the general membership meeting
The goal date for delivery to FedEx is being moved up to 19 days before the meeting This moves the deadline for submission of articles to three weeks before the meeting Articles classified ads etc should be sent by the 12th

infinite patience because of her many years teaching Kindergarten The family loves racing so much their cat decided to spend one winter at the Glen Club coming back to them in the spring realizing there is no place like home
Judy Schoonmaker 30-year member A Force to be Reckoned WithAlan Schoonmaker with MaryAnne Shults
Judy Schoonmaker joined Finger Lakes Region in 1982 Her friendly smile and jovial demeanor fooled many once behind the wheel of whatever large-bore vehicle she was driving because she quite often kicked butt in the various classes in which she competed in not only the FLR Solo II Championship Series but divisional and national events as well
Over the years she proved to be a dedicated hard-working volunteer in many facets of the regions ever-burgeoning Solo II program taking on various roles such as chief of registration trophies and more She was also the editor of the Xerox Auto Clubs newsletter
Shell say she didnt do much wrote husband Alan in an e-mail
But I think she has some impressive accomplishments
The region awarded her the Alix Lafontant Trophy for outstanding sportsmanship in 1984 and she and Alan earned the Marv and Eunice Brudno Trophy for their outstanding contribution to the regions Solo II program Two years later Judyrsquos multitasking paid off and she received the Solo programs highest honor once again Carl Blokker was the Solo Chair that year and said today he cannot remember any one particular reason Judy got the award
I do remember that any time I needed help I could ask Judy and she would do what ever she could to help the events run as smooth as possible Blokker said
On the competition side she not only won several different classes at the local level but a National Championship in 1988 in E Street Prepared Ladies driving a Camaro Z28 Add to that three additional second-place National finishes and eight Northeast Division championships
Two of her second-place National finishes are nearly as impressive as her win First she never competed in classes without competition and rarely less than 10 in the class Alan said Her first second place was to Rita Parke (Haltiner Edinger) in our car
30-year member Judy Schoonmaker holds her grandchild Sage Will there be a kart in the garage in a few years

Parke also a Finger Lakes Region member was the national champion in F Stock Ladies four consecutive years 1981 to 1984
The year before Judy won she finished second to a 454 Corvette with our 305 Camaro by 6 seconds over two days Alan addedrdquoPony cars got their own class the next year
Her dedication and passion for autocross did not diminish the same for her family Her husband Alan was also an accomplished competitor former Solo II chair and wearer of a variety of hats within the regions administration Not surprisingly son Adam says his passion for autocross began at the point of conception
Judy kept a secret from most when competing at the Solo II Nationals in September 1984 In less than a year she would give birth to son Adam
What few knew is that she was also baking a little bun in her womb ME So to say that I have been autocrossing my whole life is not much of an understatement My first National Championships was one month past conception
Adam laughed about a story his father told him that at an autocross during late term Judy was tired of being pregnant and just wanted to get it over with
Mom was driving our 1985 Trans-Am with the tilt wheel all the way up at the regions first event of the 85 season Adam said The story goes that many times that day Mom said I wish this kid would just come out already Rumor has it that she was racing that day to induce labor but all she did was put more oil in my blood and made darn sure her little boy would be an autocrosser just like her
Adam did go on to be quite successful in Solo II following his parents example After Adam and his brother Nicolas moved south Alan and Judy decided it was time to get away from
the upstate New York winters and they moved to Concord NC in 2007 to be closer to their boys
Although she and her family now live well out of the geographic area of FLR Judy has maintained not only her region membership but her friends and memories they all created in cone-filled parking lots
Michael Cianciosi 30-year member
My interest in SCCA started when I was a kid watching Can-Am and the early Trans-Am on TV Road racing looked much more appealing than stock car racing As a teen and through my college years I used to go to the Glen to watch Formula One I just loved all forms of road racing
Once out of college my first job was in Rochester where I worked with George Morris In talking to George at work I discovered he was a racer and he filled me on the Finger Lakes Region meetings thus I joined the region
When I first joined the club I did Solo for a little while In one Solo event I beat the times of an RX7 and a 5-liter Mustang with my 4-cylinder International Scout 4X4 Those two drivers were not happy about that That was quite memorable for me though Where did I go from theremdashon to road racing of course
I worked FampC for quite a few years working a lot of events for SCCA IMSA NASCAR Motorcycle road racers Skip Barber and other schools etc I crewed for George Morris for more years than I can remember Really after a while it all became a blur
I push started Georges Porsche so many times I was going to buy a new starter for it myself George finally broke down and got a new starter but not before I wore out several pairs of sneakers push starting the car You know how George is
I lost track of how many engines I helped George build how many times we rebuilt the transaxle cleaning parts cleaning the slicks applying traction compound etc etc George won quite a few NYSRRC trophies during those years George finally retired the Porsche and we partnered on the 16-valve Golf for a while After a time George bought out my half of the partnership
I also helped him maintain the old timing system he built for the club a long time agomdashbet hardly anyone remembers that system
Along the way I helped crew for a few other drivers as well Finally got my competition license after going through novice school with an ITA Toyota MR2 and road raced for a few years My first race was at Nelson Ledges There was another student with an ITA MR2 who got signed off to race that weekend as well During that first race he and I were going at it so hard the instructors were making book on which one of us would beat the other I beat the other guy After the race the instructors came over and told us about them betting on us and that we put on really great show That was quite memorableFirst race win kudos from the instructorsawesome I was hookedgotta get me more of this
Then I went on to race Volkswagens The racing fun-per-dollar ratio was much more favorable with the VWs You

probably have an idea of how I prepared my race cars from when Mark bought my Rabbit how it was set up and the spares he hauled away
I worked up to a National competition license and did a lot of regional races with the Rabbit at the Glen Lime Rock and Nelson Ledges I also did some endurance racing at the Glen and Nelson with the Rabbit and at Summit with Kurt Thiel and Bob McDonald in Kurtrsquos ITA Golf
I worked as an instructor for a few years for SCCA as well as Porsche club BMW club and Track Masters was on the competition board for a few years drove the pace car a little was in the stewards program for a while I also worked registration occasionally at Watkins Glen and Nelson Ledges I helped with the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) a little along the way serving on the organization committee and working tech inspection at the event once
I served on the board of directors for a while and was Assistant Regional Executive for a couple years and was even RE for a couple years During that tenure I filled in for the treasurer when I we didnrsquot have anyone to fill that position for a while Really with all the vowels in my last name they trusted me with the clubs finances
Well maybe that was a little more than a little history
After all itrsquos been 30 years and some of those years were pretty well jam-packed with tons of SCCA fun Particularly considering I havenrsquot been very active in the club for about the last 10 years due to my working situation I get plenty of seat time on the Thruway driving to Syracuse for work every day
I do get to keep my racing skills up though practice visualization skills keep reflexes sharp dodge trucks and other drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones running 65-75 mph in the snow etc Got to stay sharp out theremdashsome days its worse on the Thruway than the start of an ITB race with a field of 30-plus cars Going
across the Montezuma Swamp I try to imagine I am on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans only with a particularly uncompetitive car Ah you can take the driver out of road racing but you canrsquot take road racing out of the drivermdashit never goes away
There are some twisty bits the last mile or so to work so its mash the throttle up through gears hammer the brake heel-and-toe rowing down through gears for a few curves and into the parking lot Ah I still got it whatrsquos that smell Oh the clutch was slipping a bit
By the way thatrsquos with my Chevy Cobalt Anybody can drive a powerful car fastmdashtakes a bit of skill to drive an underpowered car fastmdashthat would be SCCA Road Racing Skill
Statement on Goodyear Slick Availability
Sports Car Club of America has received numerous comments and concerns over tire supply from Goodyear Tire for the remainder of the 2012 season We have inquired from Goodyear and received the following statement
ldquoThe demand for Goodyear sports car tires has outpaced our 2012 forecast by over 25 Unfortunately this has created shortages of some specific codes for our customers Production has been prioritized by our contractual commitments and those codes with the highest demand This will result in the inventory of some codes not being replenished before the end of the season We apologize for the difficulty this may cause some customersrdquo
Per Goodyear the tires subject to shortages are as followsGT amp Production1705 ndash 200x80-13 R4301711 ndash 200x95-13 R4302069 ndash 230x90-15 R2501873 ndash 230x90-15 R4751783 ndash 230x90-15 R600Sports GT1653 ndash 235x115-16 R430Sports Car Radial5875 ndash 235x105-16 R2105880 ndash 255x120-16 R210Formula

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster

Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

From the Editorrsquos BenchTop End Delivery
The problems in the US Post Office ave resulted in bulkmail taking ten days or longer to be processed and delivered That delay along with the time required for FedEx to print and deliver Top End to the post office means that the previous 15 day lead time no longer is enough to get the issue delivered before the general membership meeting
The goal date for delivery to FedEx is being moved up to 19 days before the meeting This moves the deadline for submission of articles to three weeks before the meeting Articles classified ads etc should be sent by the 12th

infinite patience because of her many years teaching Kindergarten The family loves racing so much their cat decided to spend one winter at the Glen Club coming back to them in the spring realizing there is no place like home
Judy Schoonmaker 30-year member A Force to be Reckoned WithAlan Schoonmaker with MaryAnne Shults
Judy Schoonmaker joined Finger Lakes Region in 1982 Her friendly smile and jovial demeanor fooled many once behind the wheel of whatever large-bore vehicle she was driving because she quite often kicked butt in the various classes in which she competed in not only the FLR Solo II Championship Series but divisional and national events as well
Over the years she proved to be a dedicated hard-working volunteer in many facets of the regions ever-burgeoning Solo II program taking on various roles such as chief of registration trophies and more She was also the editor of the Xerox Auto Clubs newsletter
Shell say she didnt do much wrote husband Alan in an e-mail
But I think she has some impressive accomplishments
The region awarded her the Alix Lafontant Trophy for outstanding sportsmanship in 1984 and she and Alan earned the Marv and Eunice Brudno Trophy for their outstanding contribution to the regions Solo II program Two years later Judyrsquos multitasking paid off and she received the Solo programs highest honor once again Carl Blokker was the Solo Chair that year and said today he cannot remember any one particular reason Judy got the award
I do remember that any time I needed help I could ask Judy and she would do what ever she could to help the events run as smooth as possible Blokker said
On the competition side she not only won several different classes at the local level but a National Championship in 1988 in E Street Prepared Ladies driving a Camaro Z28 Add to that three additional second-place National finishes and eight Northeast Division championships
Two of her second-place National finishes are nearly as impressive as her win First she never competed in classes without competition and rarely less than 10 in the class Alan said Her first second place was to Rita Parke (Haltiner Edinger) in our car

Parke also a Finger Lakes Region member was the national champion in F Stock Ladies four consecutive years 1981 to 1984
The year before Judy won she finished second to a 454 Corvette with our 305 Camaro by 6 seconds over two days Alan addedrdquoPony cars got their own class the next year
Her dedication and passion for autocross did not diminish the same for her family Her husband Alan was also an accomplished competitor former Solo II chair and wearer of a variety of hats within the regions administration Not surprisingly son Adam says his passion for autocross began at the point of conception
Judy kept a secret from most when competing at the Solo II Nationals in September 1984 In less than a year she would give birth to son Adam
What few knew is that she was also baking a little bun in her womb ME So to say that I have been autocrossing my whole life is not much of an understatement My first National Championships was one month past conception
Adam laughed about a story his father told him that at an autocross during late term Judy was tired of being pregnant and just wanted to get it over with
Mom was driving our 1985 Trans-Am with the tilt wheel all the way up at the regions first event of the 85 season Adam said The story goes that many times that day Mom said I wish this kid would just come out already Rumor has it that she was racing that day to induce labor but all she did was put more oil in my blood and made darn sure her little boy would be an autocrosser just like her
Adam did go on to be quite successful in Solo II following his parents example After Adam and his brother Nicolas moved south Alan and Judy decided it was time to get away from
the upstate New York winters and they moved to Concord NC in 2007 to be closer to their boys
Although she and her family now live well out of the geographic area of FLR Judy has maintained not only her region membership but her friends and memories they all created in cone-filled parking lots
Michael Cianciosi 30-year member
My interest in SCCA started when I was a kid watching Can-Am and the early Trans-Am on TV Road racing looked much more appealing than stock car racing As a teen and through my college years I used to go to the Glen to watch Formula One I just loved all forms of road racing
Once out of college my first job was in Rochester where I worked with George Morris In talking to George at work I discovered he was a racer and he filled me on the Finger Lakes Region meetings thus I joined the region
When I first joined the club I did Solo for a little while In one Solo event I beat the times of an RX7 and a 5-liter Mustang with my 4-cylinder International Scout 4X4 Those two drivers were not happy about that That was quite memorable for me though Where did I go from theremdashon to road racing of course
I worked FampC for quite a few years working a lot of events for SCCA IMSA NASCAR Motorcycle road racers Skip Barber and other schools etc I crewed for George Morris for more years than I can remember Really after a while it all became a blur
I push started Georges Porsche so many times I was going to buy a new starter for it myself George finally broke down and got a new starter but not before I wore out several pairs of sneakers push starting the car You know how George is
I lost track of how many engines I helped George build how many times we rebuilt the transaxle cleaning parts cleaning the slicks applying traction compound etc etc George won quite a few NYSRRC trophies during those years George finally retired the Porsche and we partnered on the 16-valve Golf for a while After a time George bought out my half of the partnership
I also helped him maintain the old timing system he built for the club a long time agomdashbet hardly anyone remembers that system
Along the way I helped crew for a few other drivers as well Finally got my competition license after going through novice school with an ITA Toyota MR2 and road raced for a few years My first race was at Nelson Ledges There was another student with an ITA MR2 who got signed off to race that weekend as well During that first race he and I were going at it so hard the instructors were making book on which one of us would beat the other I beat the other guy After the race the instructors came over and told us about them betting on us and that we put on really great show That was quite memorableFirst race win kudos from the instructorsawesome I was hookedgotta get me more of this
Then I went on to race Volkswagens The racing fun-per-dollar ratio was much more favorable with the VWs You

10 September 2012
probably have an idea of how I prepared my race cars from when Mark bought my Rabbit how it was set up and the spares he hauled away
I worked up to a National competition license and did a lot of regional races with the Rabbit at the Glen Lime Rock and Nelson Ledges I also did some endurance racing at the Glen and Nelson with the Rabbit and at Summit with Kurt Thiel and Bob McDonald in Kurtrsquos ITA Golf
I worked as an instructor for a few years for SCCA as well as Porsche club BMW club and Track Masters was on the competition board for a few years drove the pace car a little was in the stewards program for a while I also worked registration occasionally at Watkins Glen and Nelson Ledges I helped with the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) a little along the way serving on the organization committee and working tech inspection at the event once
I served on the board of directors for a while and was Assistant Regional Executive for a couple years and was even RE for a couple years During that tenure I filled in for the treasurer when I we didnrsquot have anyone to fill that position for a while Really with all the vowels in my last name they trusted me with the clubs finances
Well maybe that was a little more than a little history
After all itrsquos been 30 years and some of those years were pretty well jam-packed with tons of SCCA fun Particularly considering I havenrsquot been very active in the club for about the last 10 years due to my working situation I get plenty of seat time on the Thruway driving to Syracuse for work every day
I do get to keep my racing skills up though practice visualization skills keep reflexes sharp dodge trucks and other drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones running 65-75 mph in the snow etc Got to stay sharp out theremdashsome days its worse on the Thruway than the start of an ITB race with a field of 30-plus cars Going
across the Montezuma Swamp I try to imagine I am on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans only with a particularly uncompetitive car Ah you can take the driver out of road racing but you canrsquot take road racing out of the drivermdashit never goes away
There are some twisty bits the last mile or so to work so its mash the throttle up through gears hammer the brake heel-and-toe rowing down through gears for a few curves and into the parking lot Ah I still got it whatrsquos that smell Oh the clutch was slipping a bit
By the way thatrsquos with my Chevy Cobalt Anybody can drive a powerful car fastmdashtakes a bit of skill to drive an underpowered car fastmdashthat would be SCCA Road Racing Skill
Statement on Goodyear Slick Availability
Sports Car Club of America has received numerous comments and concerns over tire supply from Goodyear Tire for the remainder of the 2012 season We have inquired from Goodyear and received the following statement
ldquoThe demand for Goodyear sports car tires has outpaced our 2012 forecast by over 25 Unfortunately this has created shortages of some specific codes for our customers Production has been prioritized by our contractual commitments and those codes with the highest demand This will result in the inventory of some codes not being replenished before the end of the season We apologize for the difficulty this may cause some customersrdquo
Per Goodyear the tires subject to shortages are as followsGT amp Production1705 ndash 200x80-13 R4301711 ndash 200x95-13 R4302069 ndash 230x90-15 R2501873 ndash 230x90-15 R4751783 ndash 230x90-15 R600Sports GT1653 ndash 235x115-16 R430Sports Car Radial5875 ndash 235x105-16 R2105880 ndash 255x120-16 R210Formula

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster

Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

From the Editorrsquos BenchTop End Delivery
The problems in the US Post Office ave resulted in bulkmail taking ten days or longer to be processed and delivered That delay along with the time required for FedEx to print and deliver Top End to the post office means that the previous 15 day lead time no longer is enough to get the issue delivered before the general membership meeting
The goal date for delivery to FedEx is being moved up to 19 days before the meeting This moves the deadline for submission of articles to three weeks before the meeting Articles classified ads etc should be sent by the 12th

infinite patience because of her many years teaching Kindergarten The family loves racing so much their cat decided to spend one winter at the Glen Club coming back to them in the spring realizing there is no place like home
Judy Schoonmaker 30-year member A Force to be Reckoned WithAlan Schoonmaker with MaryAnne Shults
Judy Schoonmaker joined Finger Lakes Region in 1982 Her friendly smile and jovial demeanor fooled many once behind the wheel of whatever large-bore vehicle she was driving because she quite often kicked butt in the various classes in which she competed in not only the FLR Solo II Championship Series but divisional and national events as well
Over the years she proved to be a dedicated hard-working volunteer in many facets of the regions ever-burgeoning Solo II program taking on various roles such as chief of registration trophies and more She was also the editor of the Xerox Auto Clubs newsletter
Shell say she didnt do much wrote husband Alan in an e-mail
But I think she has some impressive accomplishments
The region awarded her the Alix Lafontant Trophy for outstanding sportsmanship in 1984 and she and Alan earned the Marv and Eunice Brudno Trophy for their outstanding contribution to the regions Solo II program Two years later Judyrsquos multitasking paid off and she received the Solo programs highest honor once again Carl Blokker was the Solo Chair that year and said today he cannot remember any one particular reason Judy got the award
I do remember that any time I needed help I could ask Judy and she would do what ever she could to help the events run as smooth as possible Blokker said
On the competition side she not only won several different classes at the local level but a National Championship in 1988 in E Street Prepared Ladies driving a Camaro Z28 Add to that three additional second-place National finishes and eight Northeast Division championships
Two of her second-place National finishes are nearly as impressive as her win First she never competed in classes without competition and rarely less than 10 in the class Alan said Her first second place was to Rita Parke (Haltiner Edinger) in our car

Parke also a Finger Lakes Region member was the national champion in F Stock Ladies four consecutive years 1981 to 1984
The year before Judy won she finished second to a 454 Corvette with our 305 Camaro by 6 seconds over two days Alan addedrdquoPony cars got their own class the next year
Her dedication and passion for autocross did not diminish the same for her family Her husband Alan was also an accomplished competitor former Solo II chair and wearer of a variety of hats within the regions administration Not surprisingly son Adam says his passion for autocross began at the point of conception
Judy kept a secret from most when competing at the Solo II Nationals in September 1984 In less than a year she would give birth to son Adam
What few knew is that she was also baking a little bun in her womb ME So to say that I have been autocrossing my whole life is not much of an understatement My first National Championships was one month past conception
Adam laughed about a story his father told him that at an autocross during late term Judy was tired of being pregnant and just wanted to get it over with
Mom was driving our 1985 Trans-Am with the tilt wheel all the way up at the regions first event of the 85 season Adam said The story goes that many times that day Mom said I wish this kid would just come out already Rumor has it that she was racing that day to induce labor but all she did was put more oil in my blood and made darn sure her little boy would be an autocrosser just like her
Adam did go on to be quite successful in Solo II following his parents example After Adam and his brother Nicolas moved south Alan and Judy decided it was time to get away from
the upstate New York winters and they moved to Concord NC in 2007 to be closer to their boys
Although she and her family now live well out of the geographic area of FLR Judy has maintained not only her region membership but her friends and memories they all created in cone-filled parking lots
Michael Cianciosi 30-year member
My interest in SCCA started when I was a kid watching Can-Am and the early Trans-Am on TV Road racing looked much more appealing than stock car racing As a teen and through my college years I used to go to the Glen to watch Formula One I just loved all forms of road racing
Once out of college my first job was in Rochester where I worked with George Morris In talking to George at work I discovered he was a racer and he filled me on the Finger Lakes Region meetings thus I joined the region
When I first joined the club I did Solo for a little while In one Solo event I beat the times of an RX7 and a 5-liter Mustang with my 4-cylinder International Scout 4X4 Those two drivers were not happy about that That was quite memorable for me though Where did I go from theremdashon to road racing of course
I worked FampC for quite a few years working a lot of events for SCCA IMSA NASCAR Motorcycle road racers Skip Barber and other schools etc I crewed for George Morris for more years than I can remember Really after a while it all became a blur
I push started Georges Porsche so many times I was going to buy a new starter for it myself George finally broke down and got a new starter but not before I wore out several pairs of sneakers push starting the car You know how George is
I lost track of how many engines I helped George build how many times we rebuilt the transaxle cleaning parts cleaning the slicks applying traction compound etc etc George won quite a few NYSRRC trophies during those years George finally retired the Porsche and we partnered on the 16-valve Golf for a while After a time George bought out my half of the partnership
I also helped him maintain the old timing system he built for the club a long time agomdashbet hardly anyone remembers that system
Along the way I helped crew for a few other drivers as well Finally got my competition license after going through novice school with an ITA Toyota MR2 and road raced for a few years My first race was at Nelson Ledges There was another student with an ITA MR2 who got signed off to race that weekend as well During that first race he and I were going at it so hard the instructors were making book on which one of us would beat the other I beat the other guy After the race the instructors came over and told us about them betting on us and that we put on really great show That was quite memorableFirst race win kudos from the instructorsawesome I was hookedgotta get me more of this
Then I went on to race Volkswagens The racing fun-per-dollar ratio was much more favorable with the VWs You

10 September 2012
probably have an idea of how I prepared my race cars from when Mark bought my Rabbit how it was set up and the spares he hauled away
I worked up to a National competition license and did a lot of regional races with the Rabbit at the Glen Lime Rock and Nelson Ledges I also did some endurance racing at the Glen and Nelson with the Rabbit and at Summit with Kurt Thiel and Bob McDonald in Kurtrsquos ITA Golf
I worked as an instructor for a few years for SCCA as well as Porsche club BMW club and Track Masters was on the competition board for a few years drove the pace car a little was in the stewards program for a while I also worked registration occasionally at Watkins Glen and Nelson Ledges I helped with the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) a little along the way serving on the organization committee and working tech inspection at the event once
I served on the board of directors for a while and was Assistant Regional Executive for a couple years and was even RE for a couple years During that tenure I filled in for the treasurer when I we didnrsquot have anyone to fill that position for a while Really with all the vowels in my last name they trusted me with the clubs finances
Well maybe that was a little more than a little history
After all itrsquos been 30 years and some of those years were pretty well jam-packed with tons of SCCA fun Particularly considering I havenrsquot been very active in the club for about the last 10 years due to my working situation I get plenty of seat time on the Thruway driving to Syracuse for work every day
I do get to keep my racing skills up though practice visualization skills keep reflexes sharp dodge trucks and other drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones running 65-75 mph in the snow etc Got to stay sharp out theremdashsome days its worse on the Thruway than the start of an ITB race with a field of 30-plus cars Going
across the Montezuma Swamp I try to imagine I am on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans only with a particularly uncompetitive car Ah you can take the driver out of road racing but you canrsquot take road racing out of the drivermdashit never goes away
There are some twisty bits the last mile or so to work so its mash the throttle up through gears hammer the brake heel-and-toe rowing down through gears for a few curves and into the parking lot Ah I still got it whatrsquos that smell Oh the clutch was slipping a bit
By the way thatrsquos with my Chevy Cobalt Anybody can drive a powerful car fastmdashtakes a bit of skill to drive an underpowered car fastmdashthat would be SCCA Road Racing Skill
Statement on Goodyear Slick Availability
Sports Car Club of America has received numerous comments and concerns over tire supply from Goodyear Tire for the remainder of the 2012 season We have inquired from Goodyear and received the following statement
ldquoThe demand for Goodyear sports car tires has outpaced our 2012 forecast by over 25 Unfortunately this has created shortages of some specific codes for our customers Production has been prioritized by our contractual commitments and those codes with the highest demand This will result in the inventory of some codes not being replenished before the end of the season We apologize for the difficulty this may cause some customersrdquo
Per Goodyear the tires subject to shortages are as followsGT amp Production1705 ndash 200x80-13 R4301711 ndash 200x95-13 R4302069 ndash 230x90-15 R2501873 ndash 230x90-15 R4751783 ndash 230x90-15 R600Sports GT1653 ndash 235x115-16 R430Sports Car Radial5875 ndash 235x105-16 R2105880 ndash 255x120-16 R210Formula

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster
Rick will be writing a ldquosocialrdquo rally to be run October 14
Winter Rally SeriesDecember 1 will be requested for the
running of a pre-Winter Rally Series event This will be an opportunity to refresh driving and navigating skills practice new techniques andor learn how to compete in a winter rally Worker training will also be available
The first and third Saturdays of January and February Jan 5 Jan 19 Feb 2 Feb 16 and a March date will be requested for the 2013 Winter Rally Series Rallymasters will be named later
Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

infinite patience because of her many years teaching Kindergarten The family loves racing so much their cat decided to spend one winter at the Glen Club coming back to them in the spring realizing there is no place like home
Judy Schoonmaker 30-year member A Force to be Reckoned WithAlan Schoonmaker with MaryAnne Shults
Judy Schoonmaker joined Finger Lakes Region in 1982 Her friendly smile and jovial demeanor fooled many once behind the wheel of whatever large-bore vehicle she was driving because she quite often kicked butt in the various classes in which she competed in not only the FLR Solo II Championship Series but divisional and national events as well
Over the years she proved to be a dedicated hard-working volunteer in many facets of the regions ever-burgeoning Solo II program taking on various roles such as chief of registration trophies and more She was also the editor of the Xerox Auto Clubs newsletter
Shell say she didnt do much wrote husband Alan in an e-mail
But I think she has some impressive accomplishments
The region awarded her the Alix Lafontant Trophy for outstanding sportsmanship in 1984 and she and Alan earned the Marv and Eunice Brudno Trophy for their outstanding contribution to the regions Solo II program Two years later Judyrsquos multitasking paid off and she received the Solo programs highest honor once again Carl Blokker was the Solo Chair that year and said today he cannot remember any one particular reason Judy got the award
I do remember that any time I needed help I could ask Judy and she would do what ever she could to help the events run as smooth as possible Blokker said
On the competition side she not only won several different classes at the local level but a National Championship in 1988 in E Street Prepared Ladies driving a Camaro Z28 Add to that three additional second-place National finishes and eight Northeast Division championships
Two of her second-place National finishes are nearly as impressive as her win First she never competed in classes without competition and rarely less than 10 in the class Alan said Her first second place was to Rita Parke (Haltiner Edinger) in our car

Parke also a Finger Lakes Region member was the national champion in F Stock Ladies four consecutive years 1981 to 1984
The year before Judy won she finished second to a 454 Corvette with our 305 Camaro by 6 seconds over two days Alan addedrdquoPony cars got their own class the next year
Her dedication and passion for autocross did not diminish the same for her family Her husband Alan was also an accomplished competitor former Solo II chair and wearer of a variety of hats within the regions administration Not surprisingly son Adam says his passion for autocross began at the point of conception
Judy kept a secret from most when competing at the Solo II Nationals in September 1984 In less than a year she would give birth to son Adam
What few knew is that she was also baking a little bun in her womb ME So to say that I have been autocrossing my whole life is not much of an understatement My first National Championships was one month past conception
Adam laughed about a story his father told him that at an autocross during late term Judy was tired of being pregnant and just wanted to get it over with
Mom was driving our 1985 Trans-Am with the tilt wheel all the way up at the regions first event of the 85 season Adam said The story goes that many times that day Mom said I wish this kid would just come out already Rumor has it that she was racing that day to induce labor but all she did was put more oil in my blood and made darn sure her little boy would be an autocrosser just like her
Adam did go on to be quite successful in Solo II following his parents example After Adam and his brother Nicolas moved south Alan and Judy decided it was time to get away from
the upstate New York winters and they moved to Concord NC in 2007 to be closer to their boys
Although she and her family now live well out of the geographic area of FLR Judy has maintained not only her region membership but her friends and memories they all created in cone-filled parking lots
Michael Cianciosi 30-year member
My interest in SCCA started when I was a kid watching Can-Am and the early Trans-Am on TV Road racing looked much more appealing than stock car racing As a teen and through my college years I used to go to the Glen to watch Formula One I just loved all forms of road racing
Once out of college my first job was in Rochester where I worked with George Morris In talking to George at work I discovered he was a racer and he filled me on the Finger Lakes Region meetings thus I joined the region
When I first joined the club I did Solo for a little while In one Solo event I beat the times of an RX7 and a 5-liter Mustang with my 4-cylinder International Scout 4X4 Those two drivers were not happy about that That was quite memorable for me though Where did I go from theremdashon to road racing of course
I worked FampC for quite a few years working a lot of events for SCCA IMSA NASCAR Motorcycle road racers Skip Barber and other schools etc I crewed for George Morris for more years than I can remember Really after a while it all became a blur
I push started Georges Porsche so many times I was going to buy a new starter for it myself George finally broke down and got a new starter but not before I wore out several pairs of sneakers push starting the car You know how George is
I lost track of how many engines I helped George build how many times we rebuilt the transaxle cleaning parts cleaning the slicks applying traction compound etc etc George won quite a few NYSRRC trophies during those years George finally retired the Porsche and we partnered on the 16-valve Golf for a while After a time George bought out my half of the partnership
I also helped him maintain the old timing system he built for the club a long time agomdashbet hardly anyone remembers that system
Along the way I helped crew for a few other drivers as well Finally got my competition license after going through novice school with an ITA Toyota MR2 and road raced for a few years My first race was at Nelson Ledges There was another student with an ITA MR2 who got signed off to race that weekend as well During that first race he and I were going at it so hard the instructors were making book on which one of us would beat the other I beat the other guy After the race the instructors came over and told us about them betting on us and that we put on really great show That was quite memorableFirst race win kudos from the instructorsawesome I was hookedgotta get me more of this
Then I went on to race Volkswagens The racing fun-per-dollar ratio was much more favorable with the VWs You

10 September 2012
probably have an idea of how I prepared my race cars from when Mark bought my Rabbit how it was set up and the spares he hauled away
I worked up to a National competition license and did a lot of regional races with the Rabbit at the Glen Lime Rock and Nelson Ledges I also did some endurance racing at the Glen and Nelson with the Rabbit and at Summit with Kurt Thiel and Bob McDonald in Kurtrsquos ITA Golf
I worked as an instructor for a few years for SCCA as well as Porsche club BMW club and Track Masters was on the competition board for a few years drove the pace car a little was in the stewards program for a while I also worked registration occasionally at Watkins Glen and Nelson Ledges I helped with the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) a little along the way serving on the organization committee and working tech inspection at the event once
I served on the board of directors for a while and was Assistant Regional Executive for a couple years and was even RE for a couple years During that tenure I filled in for the treasurer when I we didnrsquot have anyone to fill that position for a while Really with all the vowels in my last name they trusted me with the clubs finances
Well maybe that was a little more than a little history
After all itrsquos been 30 years and some of those years were pretty well jam-packed with tons of SCCA fun Particularly considering I havenrsquot been very active in the club for about the last 10 years due to my working situation I get plenty of seat time on the Thruway driving to Syracuse for work every day
I do get to keep my racing skills up though practice visualization skills keep reflexes sharp dodge trucks and other drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones running 65-75 mph in the snow etc Got to stay sharp out theremdashsome days its worse on the Thruway than the start of an ITB race with a field of 30-plus cars Going
across the Montezuma Swamp I try to imagine I am on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans only with a particularly uncompetitive car Ah you can take the driver out of road racing but you canrsquot take road racing out of the drivermdashit never goes away
There are some twisty bits the last mile or so to work so its mash the throttle up through gears hammer the brake heel-and-toe rowing down through gears for a few curves and into the parking lot Ah I still got it whatrsquos that smell Oh the clutch was slipping a bit
By the way thatrsquos with my Chevy Cobalt Anybody can drive a powerful car fastmdashtakes a bit of skill to drive an underpowered car fastmdashthat would be SCCA Road Racing Skill
Statement on Goodyear Slick Availability
Sports Car Club of America has received numerous comments and concerns over tire supply from Goodyear Tire for the remainder of the 2012 season We have inquired from Goodyear and received the following statement
ldquoThe demand for Goodyear sports car tires has outpaced our 2012 forecast by over 25 Unfortunately this has created shortages of some specific codes for our customers Production has been prioritized by our contractual commitments and those codes with the highest demand This will result in the inventory of some codes not being replenished before the end of the season We apologize for the difficulty this may cause some customersrdquo
Per Goodyear the tires subject to shortages are as followsGT amp Production1705 ndash 200x80-13 R4301711 ndash 200x95-13 R4302069 ndash 230x90-15 R2501873 ndash 230x90-15 R4751783 ndash 230x90-15 R600Sports GT1653 ndash 235x115-16 R430Sports Car Radial5875 ndash 235x105-16 R2105880 ndash 255x120-16 R210Formula

RallyTom LangdonInterim Rally Chair
Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster
Rick will be writing a ldquosocialrdquo rally to be run October 14
Winter Rally SeriesDecember 1 will be requested for the
running of a pre-Winter Rally Series event This will be an opportunity to refresh driving and navigating skills practice new techniques andor learn how to compete in a winter rally Worker training will also be available
The first and third Saturdays of January and February Jan 5 Jan 19 Feb 2 Feb 16 and a March date will be requested for the 2013 Winter Rally Series Rallymasters will be named later
Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

92012 September
Parke also a Finger Lakes Region member was the national champion in F Stock Ladies four consecutive years 1981 to 1984
The year before Judy won she finished second to a 454 Corvette with our 305 Camaro by 6 seconds over two days Alan addedrdquoPony cars got their own class the next year
Her dedication and passion for autocross did not diminish the same for her family Her husband Alan was also an accomplished competitor former Solo II chair and wearer of a variety of hats within the regions administration Not surprisingly son Adam says his passion for autocross began at the point of conception
Judy kept a secret from most when competing at the Solo II Nationals in September 1984 In less than a year she would give birth to son Adam
What few knew is that she was also baking a little bun in her womb ME So to say that I have been autocrossing my whole life is not much of an understatement My first National Championships was one month past conception
Adam laughed about a story his father told him that at an autocross during late term Judy was tired of being pregnant and just wanted to get it over with
Mom was driving our 1985 Trans-Am with the tilt wheel all the way up at the regions first event of the 85 season Adam said The story goes that many times that day Mom said I wish this kid would just come out already Rumor has it that she was racing that day to induce labor but all she did was put more oil in my blood and made darn sure her little boy would be an autocrosser just like her
Adam did go on to be quite successful in Solo II following his parents example After Adam and his brother Nicolas moved south Alan and Judy decided it was time to get away from
the upstate New York winters and they moved to Concord NC in 2007 to be closer to their boys
Although she and her family now live well out of the geographic area of FLR Judy has maintained not only her region membership but her friends and memories they all created in cone-filled parking lots
Michael Cianciosi 30-year member
My interest in SCCA started when I was a kid watching Can-Am and the early Trans-Am on TV Road racing looked much more appealing than stock car racing As a teen and through my college years I used to go to the Glen to watch Formula One I just loved all forms of road racing
Once out of college my first job was in Rochester where I worked with George Morris In talking to George at work I discovered he was a racer and he filled me on the Finger Lakes Region meetings thus I joined the region
When I first joined the club I did Solo for a little while In one Solo event I beat the times of an RX7 and a 5-liter Mustang with my 4-cylinder International Scout 4X4 Those two drivers were not happy about that That was quite memorable for me though Where did I go from theremdashon to road racing of course
I worked FampC for quite a few years working a lot of events for SCCA IMSA NASCAR Motorcycle road racers Skip Barber and other schools etc I crewed for George Morris for more years than I can remember Really after a while it all became a blur
I push started Georges Porsche so many times I was going to buy a new starter for it myself George finally broke down and got a new starter but not before I wore out several pairs of sneakers push starting the car You know how George is
I lost track of how many engines I helped George build how many times we rebuilt the transaxle cleaning parts cleaning the slicks applying traction compound etc etc George won quite a few NYSRRC trophies during those years George finally retired the Porsche and we partnered on the 16-valve Golf for a while After a time George bought out my half of the partnership
I also helped him maintain the old timing system he built for the club a long time agomdashbet hardly anyone remembers that system
Along the way I helped crew for a few other drivers as well Finally got my competition license after going through novice school with an ITA Toyota MR2 and road raced for a few years My first race was at Nelson Ledges There was another student with an ITA MR2 who got signed off to race that weekend as well During that first race he and I were going at it so hard the instructors were making book on which one of us would beat the other I beat the other guy After the race the instructors came over and told us about them betting on us and that we put on really great show That was quite memorableFirst race win kudos from the instructorsawesome I was hookedgotta get me more of this
Then I went on to race Volkswagens The racing fun-per-dollar ratio was much more favorable with the VWs You

10 September 2012
probably have an idea of how I prepared my race cars from when Mark bought my Rabbit how it was set up and the spares he hauled away
I worked up to a National competition license and did a lot of regional races with the Rabbit at the Glen Lime Rock and Nelson Ledges I also did some endurance racing at the Glen and Nelson with the Rabbit and at Summit with Kurt Thiel and Bob McDonald in Kurtrsquos ITA Golf
I worked as an instructor for a few years for SCCA as well as Porsche club BMW club and Track Masters was on the competition board for a few years drove the pace car a little was in the stewards program for a while I also worked registration occasionally at Watkins Glen and Nelson Ledges I helped with the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) a little along the way serving on the organization committee and working tech inspection at the event once
I served on the board of directors for a while and was Assistant Regional Executive for a couple years and was even RE for a couple years During that tenure I filled in for the treasurer when I we didnrsquot have anyone to fill that position for a while Really with all the vowels in my last name they trusted me with the clubs finances
Well maybe that was a little more than a little history
After all itrsquos been 30 years and some of those years were pretty well jam-packed with tons of SCCA fun Particularly considering I havenrsquot been very active in the club for about the last 10 years due to my working situation I get plenty of seat time on the Thruway driving to Syracuse for work every day
I do get to keep my racing skills up though practice visualization skills keep reflexes sharp dodge trucks and other drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones running 65-75 mph in the snow etc Got to stay sharp out theremdashsome days its worse on the Thruway than the start of an ITB race with a field of 30-plus cars Going
across the Montezuma Swamp I try to imagine I am on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans only with a particularly uncompetitive car Ah you can take the driver out of road racing but you canrsquot take road racing out of the drivermdashit never goes away
There are some twisty bits the last mile or so to work so its mash the throttle up through gears hammer the brake heel-and-toe rowing down through gears for a few curves and into the parking lot Ah I still got it whatrsquos that smell Oh the clutch was slipping a bit
By the way thatrsquos with my Chevy Cobalt Anybody can drive a powerful car fastmdashtakes a bit of skill to drive an underpowered car fastmdashthat would be SCCA Road Racing Skill
Statement on Goodyear Slick Availability
Sports Car Club of America has received numerous comments and concerns over tire supply from Goodyear Tire for the remainder of the 2012 season We have inquired from Goodyear and received the following statement
ldquoThe demand for Goodyear sports car tires has outpaced our 2012 forecast by over 25 Unfortunately this has created shortages of some specific codes for our customers Production has been prioritized by our contractual commitments and those codes with the highest demand This will result in the inventory of some codes not being replenished before the end of the season We apologize for the difficulty this may cause some customersrdquo
Per Goodyear the tires subject to shortages are as followsGT amp Production1705 ndash 200x80-13 R4301711 ndash 200x95-13 R4302069 ndash 230x90-15 R2501873 ndash 230x90-15 R4751783 ndash 230x90-15 R600Sports GT1653 ndash 235x115-16 R430Sports Car Radial5875 ndash 235x105-16 R2105880 ndash 255x120-16 R210Formula

RallyTom LangdonInterim Rally Chair
Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster
Rick will be writing a ldquosocialrdquo rally to be run October 14

The first and third Saturdays of January and February Jan 5 Jan 19 Feb 2 Feb 16 and a March date will be requested for the 2013 Winter Rally Series Rallymasters will be named later
Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

10 September 2012
probably have an idea of how I prepared my race cars from when Mark bought my Rabbit how it was set up and the spares he hauled away
I worked up to a National competition license and did a lot of regional races with the Rabbit at the Glen Lime Rock and Nelson Ledges I also did some endurance racing at the Glen and Nelson with the Rabbit and at Summit with Kurt Thiel and Bob McDonald in Kurtrsquos ITA Golf
I worked as an instructor for a few years for SCCA as well as Porsche club BMW club and Track Masters was on the competition board for a few years drove the pace car a little was in the stewards program for a while I also worked registration occasionally at Watkins Glen and Nelson Ledges I helped with the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) a little along the way serving on the organization committee and working tech inspection at the event once
I served on the board of directors for a while and was Assistant Regional Executive for a couple years and was even RE for a couple years During that tenure I filled in for the treasurer when I we didnrsquot have anyone to fill that position for a while Really with all the vowels in my last name they trusted me with the clubs finances
Well maybe that was a little more than a little history
After all itrsquos been 30 years and some of those years were pretty well jam-packed with tons of SCCA fun Particularly considering I havenrsquot been very active in the club for about the last 10 years due to my working situation I get plenty of seat time on the Thruway driving to Syracuse for work every day
I do get to keep my racing skills up though practice visualization skills keep reflexes sharp dodge trucks and other drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones running 65-75 mph in the snow etc Got to stay sharp out theremdashsome days its worse on the Thruway than the start of an ITB race with a field of 30-plus cars Going
across the Montezuma Swamp I try to imagine I am on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans only with a particularly uncompetitive car Ah you can take the driver out of road racing but you canrsquot take road racing out of the drivermdashit never goes away
There are some twisty bits the last mile or so to work so its mash the throttle up through gears hammer the brake heel-and-toe rowing down through gears for a few curves and into the parking lot Ah I still got it whatrsquos that smell Oh the clutch was slipping a bit
By the way thatrsquos with my Chevy Cobalt Anybody can drive a powerful car fastmdashtakes a bit of skill to drive an underpowered car fastmdashthat would be SCCA Road Racing Skill
Statement on Goodyear Slick Availability
Sports Car Club of America has received numerous comments and concerns over tire supply from Goodyear Tire for the remainder of the 2012 season We have inquired from Goodyear and received the following statement
ldquoThe demand for Goodyear sports car tires has outpaced our 2012 forecast by over 25 Unfortunately this has created shortages of some specific codes for our customers Production has been prioritized by our contractual commitments and those codes with the highest demand This will result in the inventory of some codes not being replenished before the end of the season We apologize for the difficulty this may cause some customersrdquo
Per Goodyear the tires subject to shortages are as followsGT amp Production1705 ndash 200x80-13 R4301711 ndash 200x95-13 R4302069 ndash 230x90-15 R2501873 ndash 230x90-15 R4751783 ndash 230x90-15 R600Sports GT1653 ndash 235x115-16 R430Sports Car Radial5875 ndash 235x105-16 R2105880 ndash 255x120-16 R210Formula

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster
Rick will be writing a ldquosocialrdquo rally to be run October 14
Winter Rally SeriesDecember 1 will be requested for the

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster
Rick will be writing a ldquosocialrdquo rally to be run October 14
Winter Rally SeriesDecember 1 will be requested for the
running of a pre-Winter Rally Series event This will be an opportunity to refresh driving and navigating skills practice new techniques andor learn how to compete in a winter rally Worker training will also be available
The first and third Saturdays of January and February Jan 5 Jan 19 Feb 2 Feb 16 and a March date will be requested for the 2013 Winter Rally Series Rallymasters will be named later
Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY

The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season

Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season

Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

RallyTom LangdonInterim Rally Chair
Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster
Rick will be writing a ldquosocialrdquo rally to be run October 14

The first and third Saturdays of January and February Jan 5 Jan 19 Feb 2 Feb 16 and a March date will be requested for the 2013 Winter Rally Series Rallymasters will be named later
Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY

The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season

Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster
Rick will be writing a ldquosocialrdquo rally to be run October 14

The first and third Saturdays of January and February Jan 5 Jan 19 Feb 2 Feb 16 and a March date will be requested for the 2013 Winter Rally Series Rallymasters will be named later
Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

Rally Meeting NotesAugust 14 2012
96 Church Street Victor NY
These notes are grouped by subject and any semblance of chronological order is impossible
The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present Rick Barnes Carl Dresie Ben Gilmore Jerry Kerwin Tom Langdon Alan Smith and Tony Zanni
The Yahoo calendar function is still not working properly
The September Rally meeting has been moved to the 20th due to a work commitment by Rick Barnes Location and time of day will be the same
RallyCross SeriesTony has purchased four helmets one
small two medium one large for use as loaners at the RallyCross events Tom has a 2005 helmet that he will donate to the series
The July RallyCross had six entries with 16 runs each With three drivers one of the loaner cars made over 50 runs if you count the ldquopre-runsrdquo The rain that ended in the morning kept the ground damp enough that there was not a dust problem A rookie won the event with Tonyrsquos help
The Perry-Warsaw airport has been contacted and arrangements are being made to run the September 29 RallyCross in the field adjacent to the runway Tony has outlined a course Parkingpaddock has been defined a traffic control person
is needed to control crossing the runway Help is needed in moving equipment
The plan is to have the October 27th RallyCross be a night event
Ben has the goal of having his RallyCross course available for the November 17 series event
The championship points system for the RallyCross series will be that used in New England Classes will be based on the needs of the competitors Two wheel stock and two wheel open classes will be part of the points system Tom will provide a computer capable of running the scoring system Alan with Tony will write an EXCEL program to do the scoring and keep championship points
Even with the loss of a few cones to an agricultural implement there is still a sufficient number of them to set a course
A RallyCross only budget needs to be prepared for the 2013 season
The last Saturday of January and February will be requested for the start of the 2013 season
Summer Rally SeriesThe destination rally has been
rescheduled to November 3 Lynn Randall is the rallymaster

Options to the trophy plaque with small applied plaques Jerry demonstrated at the July meeting are glasses with stickers for each event The series information could be silk screened onto the glass
Jerry passed around an example of a trophy plaque on which small plaques could be applied for each event where a trophy is won
Miscellaneous Discussions The Wellsboro Winter Rally will
be scheduled around Valentinersquos Day depending upon Waste Management
Tom is a rally safety steward trainer Anyone wanting to be a licensed RoadRally or RallyCross steward should download the form from the national site and provide the needed information Tom will then schedule a training session
Jimrsquos story about the Jeep at the New England rally is well worth the read
Finger Lakes and Central New York are among the few regions that run a RallyCross event as anything more than an AutoCross on a dirt parking lot
The goal is to have the Rally CRX finished to the point that it can run at the September RallyCross
Subaru engines have been used in VW van conversions and experimental aircraft
It is important to define a braking point when checking the top speed of a car on an airport runway
Canandaigua restaurants were discussed anything from Mexican to Italian to German
Weiner dogs and submarines were not mentioned Other subjects are not reported to protect the reputation of the attendees

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

Not So Dusty Summer FunRallyCross 2 Rain and shineBy Victor Prinzim
Letrsquos just say we got off to a slow start on this RallyCross I was hung over from the previous night in the Cougar Zone known as the Kenny Loggins concert at Harbor Fest in Oswego NY
Rain poured down all night and finally let up around 10 am Several drivers and photographers anxiously awaited the decision to run or go home With Danger Zone playing in my head and drivers from Pennsylvania we werenrsquot about to cancel this event It was on a quick registration and tech session a parade lap and we were off to a slippery start around 11am
Jeremy Keck and Brandon West showed up from Wellsboro with their Subarus again and got the runs going It was as slippery out there as Bon Jovirsquos first album and that is putting it mildly It didnrsquot matter how much power you had or what kind of tires you had it was tough going Finding grip was as hard as finding a gear in a Lotus Espirit Some how they did and got around in pretty good time Nate Michals showed up and drove Jim Perrinrsquos Team Hazard Rally Slo-buru in the first run group warming it up for Tony Zanni and Erik Voelkle who were driving it in run group two
With six competitors we decided that eight runs per run group was a good idea (insert your own Danger Zone reference here) and it was The field was starting to dry out and someone actually got the grill started for lunch before the second group was finished with their first set of runs Ryan Kolupa of New Hartford NY drove his WRX wagon to a good finish 3rd overall even after popping a bead and having to switch to a summer tire on one corner of the car Rookie Erik Voellkleand Tony Zanni were also driving Perrinrsquos THR Slo-buru which turned out to be not so slow Erik was leading at the break with the help of his teacher Zanni on the e-brake I bet Voelkleler is in a band hersquos got the looks like Wham has George Michael
Eight runs were made by each competitor before lunch was ready The sun had come out and the course started drying out which made Perrin a little bummed he didnrsquot run But we thank him none the less for doing timing for us all day Hersquos kind of awesome that way
After lunch we got back to it Minimum dust
maximum fun 16 runs for the day Lessons learned though donrsquot show the new guy all your tricks and donrsquot try so hard when taking the photographers for a lap during your runs and if you drive out - enter Perrin had one lap in the afternoon (Shhhh) and tied Zanni for FTD with a 144 over the 74 mile course Zanni had 2 runs where he was showing off a little too much while he took the photographers for a spin and spun out in to the Danger Zone missing a cone A not so quick loop around to not get an off course penalty put him just behind the RallyCross rookie Voelkkler for second place over all Congratulations to Voklelker for his rookie event and leaving with nice clean consistent runs and the win
All in all a great soggy start with a fast dustless afternoon set of runs made for a great second event Full results are printed in this issue of Top End A great big thank you to Jim Perrin for helping out with scoring and registration and everything else Bruce for the use of the field Monica Roche httprochephotowixcomroche-gallery and Darren Ohara for shooting photos and everyone for coming out and running Monicarsquos photos can be found at httprochephoto1smugmugcomSportsRallyCross-Dusty-Summer-Fun24453947_sXqjk3i=1994712010ampk=fdgn9m6 Darrenrsquos can be seen at httpsplusgooglecomphotos111963816960765294536albums5771140440534829969banner=pwaampauthkey=CNOe6cGchK3yXg
The next RallyCross is August 25 and then wersquore going to try a new location on September 29 See the website for details Until then Rock out with your shocks out
(Victor intentionally misspelled Erik Volklersquos last name several times Just a little teasing (about illegible handwriting) to welcome him into the RallyX family Ed)

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE

ldquoAfter an hour and a half I realized that the wrong state had been used when entering my destination in the GPSrdquo
Williersquos Sticky TiresBy LKEiserd
(Reprinted with editng from the May 2003 issue of Top End by permission of the author)
Many of you have seen W G ldquoWillierdquo Phast at the occasional Solo working at the track race or navigating a RoadRally If you have talked to him you know that he is a ldquotry anythingrdquo kind of guy
I got to know Willie better when we were assigned to the Q71 project at the smokestacks down the road Through that association Irsquove gained an appreciation for his inventiveness and ability to see each problem from a different angle A trait probably picked up from ldquoOld Manrdquo Phast (How else can you explain Williersquos middle name of Geaux)
The project brought together people from many different technologies They included Den Heiser an adhesives expert who also had a streak of uncontrolled genius running through his work (Den was the one who applied a slow acting temperature sensitive adhesive to the seat of a chair If you sat around for two hours or more you were ldquostuck to your jobrdquo)
Willie and Den got to talking at the spring picnic about the time that Willie was working on a new Solo car I joined them for a short time in a discussion of the need for traction The conversation lasted of and on until burgers were served after 5
Willie showed up several times the following week at Denrsquos office two doors down from mine Their meetings may not have been related to the project
Well I canrsquot really say that we did have a need for a coating that would reduce the slip between product and machine whenever the temperature went above 120 F A problem with the time dependency of the amount of ldquotackrdquo had not yet been solved
At about this time I had built several ldquogarage dolliesrdquo to help move engines transmissions and the occasional wheelless car around my garage Willie had suggested several of the design features
About a week ago I get a call from Willie asking if he can borrow the dollies I said sure and that I could deliver that the wife was out to a club meeting and some parts had arrived at the ldquoracerrsquos supplyrdquo shop near where he lived
When I arrived Willie was puttering around the car in the shop half of his garage After setting the timing adjusting the fuel mixture setting caster and camber etc he had taken the car out for a trial run When Jen went out for a shopping trip to the mall he mounted the ldquoracerdquo rubber and drove around the neighborhood
Everything was going as planned until he tried to move it before closing the garage up for the night The car wouldnrsquot move as if the brakes had locked up
We got the dollies out and under the car but couldnrsquot get the tires off of the floor They were stuck
After a beer he admitted that part of the test run had been to evaluate a tire treatment provided by Den Braking acceleration and cornering all seemed to be improved As he pulled back into the
garage he had gotten a 45-minute phone call from his sister Betty
About that time he remembered Denrsquos admonitions to get the tires up off of the pavement until they had cooled Water pry bars even an attempt to drive a thin steel plate between the tire and floor wouldnrsquot free them from their grip on the floor
We got the car jacked up enough to take the weight off of the tires dollies and blocks in place Willie then unbolted the wheels and let the air out of the tires After several tries we were able to pull them over at a great enough angle that the car could be rolled out into the driveway on the dollies
We returned the tires to an upright position placed boxes etc between them and threw a car cover over it all Willie thought that Jen might take it to be a FF he was storing for one of the guys The Solo car was left in the driveway with the ldquostreet rubberrdquo bolted up
Note After running a thin hacksaw blade between the tire and the garage floor Willie was able to get to the remaining adhesive The remaining material was then dissolved using a non-OSHA approved solvent a blow torch and finishing up with ldquohardrdquo solvent (emery paper for those who want to know) LKE
