REPort Mike Toombs Regional Executive

December 2013

I recently attended the Northeast Division (NEDiv) fall convention. There are two NEDiv conventions each year. The fall one is called the Mini-Convention and the spring is the Roundtable. The MiniCon is where time is spent reviewing what happened during the current year and plan for next year. The spring Roundtable is primarily for training of workers and other specialized groups of people.

So what happened at the Mini-Con this year? As many of you are aware there are no more National races after 2013. So a lot of time was spent discussing what would happen to the race programs next year.

Every National race has been converted to a Regional race (this name may change at some point in the future). There is going to be a divisional race series. This series has a sponsor, Mazza Vineyards and an eight race schedule has been defined - April 12 & 13 at Summit Point, May 24 & 25 at New Hampshire, June 14 & 15 at PIRC, June 28 & 29 at New Jersey Motorsports Park, July 26 & 27 at Nelson Ledges, August 2 & 3 at Pocono, September 13 & 14 at Watkins Glen, September 27 & 28 at Lime Rock. To attempt to make the eight races in the championship a little more than normal regional races there are going to be some restrictions put in place.

They want to have victory laps, winners circle and race lengths longer than normal regional. This is where we potentially have an issue, time. Time is always an

4

issue at WGI and this past Fun One we ended up with 3 hours of overtime. The track also wants us off the track at a set time overtime or no. So with seven race groups there may not be enough time in the race day to do what is required. So I have pre-warned the Divisional Race Committee that our race may not be part of the NEDiv divisional series. The rules are getting updated as we speak and I’ll have a better idea after talking to our BOD and our Competition Board.

There were also some seminars that each of us went to. Marsha and I went to the registration seminar where the registrars decided that we didn’t want to have “preferred numbers” in any race series, other than the Majors, next year. I could spend a lot of time explaining the problems registrars have with preferred numbers, but that won’t change what happened Sunday morning.

This was brought to the NEDiv Council meeting and did not go over well. So the following recommendations were made and approved. All drivers must have their preferred numbers to the series before March 1st. No changes can be made after that date to any list (this has been the policy in NYSRRC for a few years now). All numbers become available two weeks before the race date, preferred or not. There is also one other thing I need to mention, I keep using the term preferred and not reserved for a reason. If you are running a race that has multiple race series in it, you may not get you preferred number if someone else enters the race before you and you both have the same preferred number.

The only other major issue Sunday morning was the railroaded election of officers for the NEDiv Council. In other words I am going to be the NEDiv Council chairman for 2014.

This is my 96th column for Top End, some have been easy, some not so easy. I have been thinking about what I was going to write. I have always been doing what I think is in the best interest of the club. I have always wanted what is best for the club, and ultimately the membership.

During the past six years and my two year term previously, I have had plenty of help. From race chairs, Solo chairs, RoadRally chairs to RallyCross chairs, we have all pushed to make the region more fun for the membership. When someone asks what region I’m from - I’m proud to say the Finger Lakes Region.

Mike

TOP END

The Petty Experience, Vegas Style Finger Lakes Region member Mary Hartman will

share her adrenaline-generating experiences on both a Ride-Along and Drive in a 600-HP NASCAR race car at Las Vegas Motor Speedway at the December general meeting.

The Richard Petty Driving Experience claims to be "the worldwide leader in NASCAR stock car ride and drive entertainment," and is offered at more than 20 major speedways and race tracks in the U.S. The RPDE provides several ride-along packages, all with a professional driving instructor, reaching speeds over 160mph.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway is located about 15 miles northeast of the Strip. Its 1,200-acre complex includes several different track formats for a variety of racing. These include three road courses (2.4 miles and 1.1 miles and an "exotics" course), two paved ovals (Superspeedway and The Bullring), a clay oval, a drag strip and an off-road course.

"Since they had a 'buy-one-get-one' three-lap ride around, my vacation buddy and I split the cost and each got a ride around at 165 mph," she said. "I then did two 10-lap sessions."

This isn't her first time with the Richard Petty Driving Experience as she did it once before in Orlando in March 2012. That earned her a $200 coupon for another "experience," so on a recent trip to Las Vegas, she took advantage of trying it again.

"While last year I had to follow an 'instructor car' and topped out at 126 mph, this year the instructor rode with me," she explained. "We followed pylons for turn in and apex points, and line markers in between."

Part of the "experience" for Mary was getting comfortable in the car as well as learning the track itself.

"The car set up was different at Las Vegas due to the banking. It took some practice to learn to accommodate for the steering wanting to turn left," she said. "I was just getting used to the feel of the car when the first session was over!"

With her $200-off coupon, she purchased another 10-lap Drive.

"For the price of what I saved with my coupon, I got a second session of 10 laps, with my times getting faster almost each lap," she said. "On my last lap, I was pleased to find out I made 140 mph!"

FLR members and guests are invited to the general membership meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 3, at Murph's Irondequoit Pub, located at 705 Titus Ave. in Rochester. The meeting begins at 8 p.m. Her presentation, complemented with videos, will begin after the meeting.

Bully Hill Rally Report

On Saturday, October 19th, at the peak of the leaf peeping season, six cars travelled through the Bristol Hills and south to a wine tasting at the Bully Hill Winery. Four check points were located along the route, but checkpoint two had to be thrown out due to an error in the rally set up. Two classes were running,” experienced” included anyone who had run more than two rallies for FLR. Alan, Andy, and Amy Smith took first place experienced, with Chris and Joyce Bucknam running second. The novice class included the team of Paul Walker and Lawrence Wells in first place, followed by Fred Folsom and Tom Ewart, in second

place. Also finishing, all with scores under 250, were two of our “First Gear Members”, Jake Bucknam, son of Chris and Joyce, and Brett Hodgeman grandson of Lynn Randall. These two young men ran with lady friends, Kimmy Weis, and Sarah Riker. It is nice to see some new interest in the rally program!
