REPort Mike Toombs Regional Executive I started working on this column and noticed that it will be November soon.

Where did the year go?

This past weekend was the last Club Racing event of the season at Watkins Glen, and, as always was very interesting.

Along with the driver’s school, regional races and an Enduro, they held a Solo on Sunday.

Trying to make the Solo season last as long as possible, I ran in the autocross on Sunday at the track. The course was good, and the weather was fantastic, if only the lot was a little smoother. There were a couple of points where my car jumped around over some of the dips and humps. This was the last Glen Region Solo of the season. I meet some nice people and really enjoyed the day. I would have to admit that my memory of the event might have been altered by the fact that I had the fastest car with fenders there and the second fastest index time, I may have finally figured out how to drive the car and the season is over!

Fall means that it is election time again. Carl Dresie will be sending out the ballots to all members so that they can be returned either in person at the November meeting or mailed back to Carl. There are several contested positions and hopefully you will take the time to vote.

If you weren't at the October meeting you missed quite a party. Fran McAllister and Rosemary Goodnight were able to get a lot of people out to the picnic that used to race when the region was young.

There had to have been over 60 people at the Camp Eastman Park in Irondequoit to eat the hot dogs and hamburgers prepared

by Charlie Tanck and delivered by Scott Moller. As well as the food and drinks supplied by the region we had enough

4

other food to feed twice the number of people at the party. We are talking about trying this again next year, a little earlier in the season so people can bring out their cars for others to see.

Now that the race season has ended we need to start looking at year-end awards. Each year the board coordinates the recognition of our members. The Solo, Rally and Club Racing boards come together and select their award recipients and present them to the FLR board. This group has the responsibility to select the recipients of each of the major awards, but we need your help. We can't be everywhere and see everything, so if you think you have someone who deserves one of the awards please let one of us know.

Until next month…

Mike

The evening started off with a picnic featuring hamburgers, hot dogs, soda (other beverages as brought in for individual enjoyment were included) and a dish-to-pass. The variety ranged from pasta to salads to chicken dumplings to cookies and other finger-food desserts.

A short business meeting was held after the food was served.

The September general membership meeting minutes were approved on a motion by John Walsh, seconded by Dan Thiel.

Membership Report – Mike Brunner Mike reported that as of October 4, the region has 441, a drop of four since September 13. Membership has decreased 11 since April.

An estimated 60 plus members and guests attended the picnic and meeting.

Treasurer’s Report - Elizabeth Thiel Elizabeth reported that we have money. The national race had a positive cash flow. Financial activity for the Fun One is not complete. Both the Solo and rally programs are in good shape.

Note: Full financial details are available from Elizabeth.

Central New York Raceway Park Set for Phase 1 of Construction Weedsport, NY - Groundbreaking for phase 1 of the construction of the new state of the art Central New York Raceway Park (CNYRP) in Central Square, NY is set for the spring of 2012. The Central Square location is just 20 minutes from downtown Syracuse and less than 15 miles from Syracuse's Hancock International Airport. Phase 1 of the construction project includes a 2-mile road course, drag strip, and a half-mile synthetic dirt track. Donnelly Partners LLC, led by Glen Donnelly and Sweeteners Plus CEO Carl Myers, have secured the funding for phase 1, and have already begun clearing the more than 140 acres in anticipation for the spring groundbreaking.

"I've spent the last 2 years planning, and I believe the plan for Central New York Raceway Park will result in an innovative, entertaining, and profitable mutli-use facility," said Glenn Donnelly.

Glenn Donnelly has assembled a group of experience investors to create Donnelly Partners LLC. Members include major motorsports backers Carl Myers, Robert Lutz, Todd Town, Tony Komuda Jr, Peter Mack, Derek Tarolli and Greg Kidd. "Our investors are our biggest assets. Highly involved, tremendously talented, and very successful business people committed to make CNYRP a financial success," says Donnelly.

Along with an experienced group of investors, the New York State government and local government have been fully involved with the project. "We've worked closely with both the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency and Town of Hastings on acquiring the necessary permits and grants to move forward in the construction,” said Donnelly.

November 2011

Phase 1 of the construction will generate 120 full time positions along with hundreds of positions the construction companies will need to fill to complete the project."

With both the finance and management aspects of CNYRP sound, focus turns to phase 1 of construction. Phase 1 of the construction includes a 2-mile road course, drag strip, and a half-mile synthetic dirt track. The 2-mile road course will encompass the more than 140 acres. The road course will include a pit road with a 56 bay NASCAR style garage, and a 1/8th mile or 1/4-mile drag strip. Donnelly believes the road course and drag strip is a key to the success of CNYRP. "The only new tracks being built in the US are road courses," says

Donnelly. "Both Watkins Glen and Monticello in New York State already have full schedules. From car clubs to national touring series to driving schools we are confident we will fill the 180 days we have set for operation."

CNYRP already has commitments from NASCAR Racing Experience, Mario Andretti Racing School and the Skip Barber Racing School to fill dates at the road course. The halfmile Synthetic dirt track will feature a 10,000-seat grandstand as well as VIP suites, a 300 seat buffet restaurant, and an upscale streak house style restaurant.

The new revolutionary SYNDI synthetic compound will cover the track surface.

The SYNDI Synthetic surface will eliminate dust, greatly reduce track

maintenance costs and attract a larger female audience. "The SYNDI surface will allow us to not only create a smooth and racy surface for the traditional dirt surface racing divisions, but also open the door for asphalt divisions to compete on the half mile," claims Donnelly.

To highlight all the action at the facility, CNYRP will build a manned television studio on the premise. The studio will produce promotional and commercial spots for company sponsors and racetrack members, as well as have the capability to broadcast live events at the facility.

Rally Tom Langdon Omterom Road Rally Chair

Rally Meeting Notes September 20, 2011 96 Church Street, Victor, NY

These notes are grouped by subject and are not be in chronological order.

The following six RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present; Rick Barnes, Carl Dresie, Ben Gilmore, Tom Langdon, Mike Toombs and John Werner.

Rally Awards and Christmas Party The party will again be at Cheap Charlie’s in Bloomfield on December 10. There may be a few changes in menu, etc. Prices and times are expected to be the same as last year.

A flyer will be published in the November and December issues of Top End and sent to the website.

RallyCross Series The last few RallyCross events were cancelled due to lack of participation.

Rally Safety Steward Additional safety stewards need to be approved. Tom is working on the process needed to train new safety stewards. Training material is available.

Summer Rally Series The last of the summer social rallies is scheduled for October 16. A flyer printed in the October edition of Top End and can be found on the website at: http://www.flr-scca. com/rally/2011/OctRally_flier.pdf.

John Werner asked about the possibility of running a simple trap rally in the spring.

It could be as simple as a string rally. A short article as an introduction to trap rallies could be prepared for Top End. Training Rally A possible training and dust off the cobwebs rally will be discussed at the Oct. meeting.

2011 November

Winter Rally Series Five events are being planned for the winter rally series. Tentative dates are: Jan. 7, Jan. 21, Feb. 4, Feb. 18 and March 3.

Dates may change to avoid conflict with the Finger Lakes Region’s Year End Party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally. Rallymasters that have been named so far are: Alan Smith; Gary Thomas and John Kastenhuber; and John Werner and Jerry Kerwin. Rallymasters need to be named for the remaining events.

Gary Thomas will be rallymaster for the event following Alan Smith’s rally. John is proposing a rally to the west of Rochester.

Any changes to the winter series supplemental rules need to be brought to the next Rally meeting. These include changes in factors, use of Timing Allowances, etc.

Recycled mugs, etc. are being looked into for use as winter series trophies.

Wellsboro Winter Rally Negotiations are underway to run the Wellsboro Winter Rally on the Waste Management grounds near Wellsboro.

Miscellaneous Discussions No information has been received on the WINTR series.

The rally committee does not have a permanent chair. Tom Langdon is still acting as interim chair.

The purchase of helmets for the RallyCross series has been approved. The new helmets will go to the Solo program; the replaced helmets will be used by the RallyCross series.

It was noted that the SVT Focus and the new Mini have the same gearbox, a Getrag 285. Therefore a limited slip (or other performance differential) can be ordered through Ford.

Rick Barnes will review the various performance differentials available if requested. The torque biasing of a Torsen is similar in reverse to that in forward. Which biasing is greater depends upon how the differential is assembled. Engagement of locking differentials can be manipulated so that high-speed stability can be controlled.

(Blankety-Blank lawyers!) Electronic traction controls and the other actions controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit) could interact with driveline performance additions.

Rally Meeting Notes

October 11, 2011 96 Church Street, Victor, NY These notes are grouped by subject and are not be in chronological order.

The following seven RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present; Rick Barnes, Carl Dresie, Ben Gilmore, Jerry Kerwin, Tom Langdon, Alan Smith and John Werner.

Awards Party The party is scheduled for Dec. 3 at Cheap Charlie’s in Bloomfield. A flyer has been generated and is published in Top End and on the region’s website, www.flr-scca.com. The menu, etc. will be the same as last year.

Summer Rally Series Rick Barnes reported that everything is set for the October 16 RoadRally, Genesee Valley Colour Tour. Tom Langdon will provide trophies. The desire for a winter series training rally will be polled at this event.

Winter Rally Series The general instructions and rallymaster instructions including forms list were quickly reviewed. Tom Langdon will be updating them. This will be the pearl (traditional) or 30th anniversary of the Winter Rally Series.

Copies were distributed for the review.

Tom asked that more time be spent on them and comments given back to him for consideration. Continuing concerns are speed factors and penalties. Should a time allowance include a penalty and what would that penalty be? More thought is needed on TA penalties considering the philosophy behind time allowances and the reasons for taking one.

Cost of filing a claim will be increased to $793.23 or the price of a pitcher.

Fee structure for the events will not be changed. An increase in rallymaster cost reimbursement will be proposed in the 2012 budget. Should the worker food allowance be changed?

A first cut at updating the rallymaster instructions has been made. Cleanup and updating will continue. Again suggestions should be passed back to Tom. Carl Dresie will send copies of the Safety Stewards check list to those attending the meeting. This checklist will be included in the rallymaster package so that problems can be avoided.

21

The schedule continues to be every two weeks starting on January 7. The Finger Lakes Region’s year-end party and the Wellsboro Winter Rally are possible conflicts. The year-end party dates being considered are the 14th and 28th. No information has been received on the Wellsboro Winter Rally.

Current rallymaster schedule is: First – Alan Smith, Second – Gary Thomas, Third – John Werner and Jerry Kerwin. Karl Haltiner needs to be contacted regarding being rallymaster for one of the events. The March rally may be devoted to paved roads.

Earlier starts and shorter rallies allow the use of ending sites that close at midnight.

There is no news on the WINTR series other than an earlier comment on conducting a summer rally.

Miscellaneous Discussions John Werner’s search for a car continues.

Many do not have room enough to accommodate a helmet needed to run Trakker at STPR®. A sunroof limits headroom even more. Another option is to install a Ford 302 out of a late model Explorer in the Volvo.

Diversions in the meetings may in fact be to subjects that are related to RoadRally. i.e., Is the meeting a diversion?

The November meeting may be devoted to a mug/trophy cleaning session.

The “rally box” will be checked to determine if additional copies of forms are needed.

Pizza may be a good business, allowing the purchase of something red and Italian – not a Fiat.

Santa may be allowed out of rehab so that he can attend the awards and Christmas party.
