Jill and I are pleased to be taking on this great responsibility and wonderful opportunity to keep this publication worthy of Oregon Region. The very first thing I want to do is to acknowledge the truly excellent work done on the Loud Pedal over the last five years by Doug Berger. Doug set a very high standard for quality and professionalism, and anything this magazine becomes in the future owes a great deal to Doug’s dedication and “We need your help, your input, and your feedback” hard work. We intend to do our best to live up to that standard, and bring some of our own ideas into the publication as well. You will notice a few changes in this issue, and there will be more to come as we learn our way around the publishing tools, the deadlines, and the blood-chilling process of extracting columns from your elected leadership. The first and most obvious change is to the look and feel of the magazine. I wish I could take all the credit, but Bob Brands and Travis Andrews at Community Newspapers have really gone the extra mile to provide me the tools to create this new look. But there’s more than just a new look... We intend to publish cartoons, and you will find the first one in this issue. Bob Mead drew great cartoons that were printed years ago, and I intend to October 2002 Top Dead Center Here’s how to get ahold of the Loud Pedal Editors: By Phone: (503) 638-7300 By Snail Mail: Loud Pedal 21710 SW 75th Ave Tualatin OR, 97062 By E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] By Web: http://www.oregonscca.com reprint every one I can find. If anyone out there is a budding cartoonist - send me some samples and if they are any good, you will see them here. This feature is tentatively called “Laugh Track.” Another new feature to look for is what we might call “Vintage Loud Pedal.” We have a wealth of history in this club, and it is our intention to reprint classic items from old Loud Pedals whenever we can find them. If you have old Loud Pedals with funny, happy, sad, glorious, or just interesting photos, articles, advertisements, or anything, send them along. We also want to encourage each of you to consider writing for this magazine. You do not have to commit to a regular column - just shoot us your articles and look for them here. There is an excellent article in this issue by Jack Spring. I’d like to have some articles from drivers, workers, and crew. I know there’s a lot LOUD PEDAL of knowledge out there about car setup and tuning. We’re going to try to revive the member profiles as well. We also need your photos. Photos of people, cars, anything related to Oregon Region SCCA. We’ll take a hint from Easy Rider magazine- If it’s of interest to Oregon Region members, we’ll print it! So, with all this new content, something’s got to give, or we’ll bankrupt the club with postage charges. Well, here’s what I’m wondering - should we stop printing event results in the Loud Pedal? I’ve asked around a little bit, and it seems as though most folks pick up their results at the track, or read them on the website. Results are typically up on the website 48 hours after the completion of an event, and sometimes take weeks to arrive in this magazine. Our season finale club racing results are printed in this issue, but I’d like to hear from you if you depend on the Loud Pedal for your results. Write or call me at home or Karen at the region office if you care about this. We don’t have to make a decision until March. In closing, we’re looking forward to a great time producing the Loud Pedal, but we need your help, your input, and your “Should we stop printing event results in the Loud Pedal?” feedback. This is your magazine, and I want to offer you material to increase your enjoyment and involvement with your club.

OFFICE EQUIPMENT * Office computer has been repaired by Jeff Z. & Don S. Thank you! The Word program is working again. * Race Ops Managers purchased a new copier for use by Race Center. The old copier, formerly used at the office, is more expensive to repair than to replace. TRANSPONDERS * The current office inventory of transponders is: 6 hardwire, 2 rechargeable. * Are now ordering smaller quantities as we have only one race remaining this year. ROSE CUP SHIRTS * Gave final shirt order to PRFA today for drivers who did not get their entries in by the shirt deadline (which was earlier than the race entry deadline). * If we give shirts with race entries next year, I have some recommendations for handling that chore. JULY RACE * We netted the following entries at our July race: 125 double regional, 22 second entries, 8 single regional, total 155. * In addition to the above, NASPORT had 13 entries. MEMBERSHIP * Total membership as of June 28 printout from National = 1650 active members. * Have not updated our database with the latest information from National. There appears to be a bug in the data. Have asked Don S. to investigate with his program. MULTI-EVENT WAIVER PROGRAM * Would like permission from the Board to investigate the possibility of Oregon Region implementing an “annual waiver” program for the year 2003. This would apply to current SCCA members who have been licensed as a driver or official or crew for at least one year prior and who are 18 years of age or older. * Have received information from Linda Rogaski, National Registration Administrator, regarding this system and would continue to work with her to determine if this is a viable option for Oregon Region. Page 8 INSURANCE * The office is currently without insurance. We received a quote & a binder from State Farm to cover only the office, no vehicles. State Farm subsequently decided not to insure us as they do not offer coverage to car clubs. They returned the $175 we paid. * It is a requirement of our lease that we have a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy naming the landlord and property management company as additional insureds. I have discussed this problem with the property management company and they are satisfied that we are still trying to obtain insurance. Discussion followed on Multi-Event Waiver Program (see above) M/S (Jeff/Cheryl) M/P to have Karen investigate the possibility of using this process in our region. TREASURER’S REPORT - In Gary’s absence Dave provided an update that Gary had prepared. Of note is that Simon Levear from the Rally Group has still not received the tax id information that he needs to supply to the bank for their account. LOUD PEDAL - Absent Karen has had inquiries as to the Loud Pedal advertising rates. This has been discussed in the past and upon further discussion tonight it was suggested that the rates be increased by 50% to offset the loss that we are currently experiencing for the publication. M/S (Dave/Cheryl) Vote provided 5 yes 1 no 2 abstain M/P Jeff commented that in the last issue, which had thirty eight pages, eighteen of those pages were devoted to points and results. He advised that perhaps we would like to look at not printing these in the LP in the future, thus saving time, money and space. They are very dated by the time they are published and can be readily obtained shortly after any event on the web site in a more timely manner. This suggestion will be passed on to some of the members for their comments as well. Holly advised Jeff that she had only one comment for the region web site.....IT ROCKS! RACE OPS - No report DIRECTORS REPORTS: SOLO II - Chuck introduced Doug Barrett whom is a candidate for the Solo II Director position this next year. The July event saw them with a practice day on Saturday and then on Sunday they ran their regular event with 125-130 entries. The August 3 & 4 event hosted 125 on Saturday and 111 on Sunday. The weather proved a factor on the Sunday attendance. They Solo group is looking forward to The All Club Party and the joining together of the groups. RALLY - Matt reported that last week the Rally X at the Columbia County Fairgrounds drew 90 entrants for a day of fun. The next Rally X will be 9/1 at The Hood River Fairgrounds in O’Dell. The Wild West Performance Rally will be held 9/7-8 in Shelton (by Olympia). Volunteers are needed. September 10-11 will be the Road Rally, The Road Not Taken that will be headquartered at the casino at Grande Ronde. The planning is still going on for the October 12-13 event starting in Wilsonville and going to and from Port Orford. A West Coast Championship for Club Rally Event for next year is in discussion mode and Matt will report back on any developments on this venue. DIRECTOR 1 - Cheryl advised that she will be working with the chiefs to obtain a list of dedicated workers from each of the specialties. These names will then be made eligible for drawings to be held with paid banquet dinners as the prizes. This is one other perk that is being provided by the Worker Fund. Many of our workers find the cost of a banquet not within their budget and this will assure that some of them will be able to attend as well as being rewarded for their dedication. DIRECTOR II - Jeff has established a nominating committee for the upcoming elections and they are: John Brewer, Mark Schue and Monika Tabor. A slate of nominees will be presented at the next BOD meeting. He also advised that he would like to print the Worker Incentive Program and it’s dates on the web site. Mary will provide both he and Karen with this information. ROAD RACING DIRECTOR - Dave presented a job description for the new position of, Chief, Race Workers Services. It is very descriptive and will prove to be a great asset in recruiting for this job. He has asked the BOD to critique and respond at the next meeting on any changes or suggestions. At the September BOD meeting he will have the same type of document prepared for the other newly suggested position of, Assistant Road Race Director. At this time Dave advised the BOD that he would not seek re-election next year. Many issues have contributed to his decision and he feels that it is in his best interest to move on. Holly remarked that Dave has been a very hard and dedicated worker and that she has grown to respect his ability to get the job done while working under difficult situations at times. ASST RE - Ben advised that the Porsche event was successful even with the shortage of workers. Jay Culbertson was pleased with the support and appreciated the professionalism that our workers presented. He also mentioned that we need to get a contract together for TC and the Thunderhill Race. PAST RE - Greg reminded us of the Doernbecher race on September 28th. He also asked if there was any way that the region could give TC a break on the E Truck rental for the Thunderhill Race this year. Their budget is stretched and would truly appreciate our consideration. After a short discussion the following verbiage was suggested for a motion: E Truck for the 2002 Thunderhill Race will be rental in kind exchange of goods or services at a future date M/S (Greg/Dave) M/P RE COMMENTS - Holly gave a BIG THANK YOU LOUD PEDAL October 2002 to Gary Manchester for his thoughtfulness in having the “RD” stickers created in memory of our friend Robert Dratwa. These were truly appreciated by all. She continues to work on the promoter project with Mark Wiggington and will give all informed of the results. Holly advised that we will be working on the nominations and election as well as the awards for the end of the year banquet soon. She suggested that we bear in mind, Item 4.6 of the Oregon Region Operating Policy when considering awards. 4.6 Recipients of Annual Awards must be Oregon Region or Dual Member M/S ( Jeff/Dave ) 9:10 M/P to adjourn to Executive Session Respectfully submitted, Mary Thompson Road Racing Meeting: None A-n-T TIRE AND WHEEL Trackside Enterprises Service for all vehicles from race to commercial.

One of the apocalyptically important subjects was vacation scheduling. I had just gleefully informed this bunch of heroic wrench benders that I had, once again, blown the summer calendar asunder with a blitz of three and four day mini vacations that matched up with racing dates all the way through September, and received approval on all of them. History has proven that the usual response to this announcement tends to be immediate and particularly dangerous, so I ducked under the closest cover the room provided…the desk normally used by our boss. Once the usually fatal hail of medium sized hand tools and amazingly bloated procedure manuals passed overhead (mauling an antiquated computer terminal, and a printer that is no longer capable of printing the letters “e”, “l” and “p” because of a damaged daisy wheel), and the remarkably articulate barrage of rather blue tinged invectives, I heard the voice of the most senior (as in “old” and “curmudgeonly”) of the mob growling “Why do you waste your whole vacation fooling around with a bunch of old car nuts and spoiled rich boys when you don’t even get to drive a car?”. “Whatever do you mean, sir?” was my pithy reply. Pointing an Ebeneezer-like digit straight at my Romanesque Proboscis (big nose), Mr. Mean impaled me with this indisputable factoid, “You admit that you pay for the chance to go out there and sweat your butt off, maybe get it knocked off, and work harder than you do here, just because you love the sport and the people. You don’t make a dime and usually end up more broke than you started out! What the hell is so special about those wackos anyway?” Using my best “You Pitiful Dunce!” tone of voice, I responded with my standard lecture for the ignorant. “First, it’s fun because everyone else is out there for the same reason, we love racing, and are all working towards the same goal, Page 10 to see great racing happen. We set the place up, run the operation, and provide the services necessary for people who can afford to try, to go out and race as hard as they can while being confident that we are there to help them as they hang it all out and go for the win. We argue and complain, but there is never a doubt that we want the same goal. And by the way, Mr. Knowitall, we aren’t just a bunch of old motor heads. We have multiple generations of racers spread throughout the club, from Grandparents who fought for world freedom to youngsters just starting to dream of winning “the big one” some day. And by the way, we get the job done, and we do it now, not later, or someday, or maybe after we do a study on it!” “Why do you waste your whole vacation fooling around with a bunch of old car nuts and spoiled rich boys when you don’t even get to drive a car?” Apparently my intellectual counter punch was slightly off target. Mr. Growl came back with his best stuff, designed to stop all further conversation in a gathering of over forty-ish blue collars, constantly bemoaning “the system”. “So, you get to babysit a bunch of brats. Sounds like real fun! The kids nowadays are useless. All they do is spend money, play games, tell us the world has been trashed by us old farts, and tell us the future isn’t worth living long enough to see! Anyone who thinks these punks are gonna keep the world going when they get to run things is an idiot and I’ve never met even one of them that would put out the kind of work you say it takes to do that stuff you have so much fun doing!” The absurdity of this nearly knocked me over, considering the fact that this guy was once a pony-tailed, cycle ridin’, boozin’ scourge who elicited matronly wails of despair, and patronly sprints for the shotgun whenever he showed up to take someone’s sweet petunia out for the night (usually clad in home made tie-dye tank tops and dirty chinos). LOUD PEDAL Soapbox By Jack Spring Before I could laugh, however, out came the Unexpected Utterance, without hesitation, and without mercy. “You’re full of crap, you damn dinosaur!” Now, to know me well is to know that I am no fan of the way humanity has been running things for the last three thousand years or so. I still have serious doubts about how this thing we call “Human Society” is going to end up, and I tend to think we are at a place in time where the answers will be coming sooner rather than later. And not, necessarily, for the good of the planet. It came as a surprise, therefore, when I realized the change in myself, as “The Utterance” passed my lips. Not only do I enjoy the feeling, of being part of a group of like-minded enthusiasts, so disparate in origin, yet so devoted to a goal. I have also found hope for the future. In our club I see people who are successfully raising new generations of human beings who believe in working together to accomplish something good. I see young people who respect the experience of those who have come before them, and value that which is club racing enough to work hard so they can carry on the legacy for generations to come. People willing to teach, and to learn, from all those around them. Willing to give others a chance to do new and unusual things, and enjoy the success of working together as a team. I choose to take my experiences in the club as a sign that there is a reason to believe that we can pull together during these most difficult times in which we live, if people will just choose to come together and work for our common goal. Yes, I said all these things to Mr. Mean. Did I change his mind? Probably not. That doesn’t really matter. I realized that I have changed my own mind. That is good enough. Vroom Vroom!

October 2002 LOUD PEDAL Page 11 Objects In The Mirror Objects In The Mirror May Be Closer Than they Appear By: Dave Isselhard, Road Racing Director email: [email protected] The Oregon Region final Road Racing Event of the year, our September Single Regional is now in the Mirror. What a great weekend! The best weather of the year: Sunshine and a cool breeze. Most everyone was on their best behavior. With the Run-Offs the same weekend at Mid-Ohio we still had 169 Entrants. We had Road Racing, Rally and Solo 2 at the same location and all in one day— followed by a great All-Club Party. In the Mark 1 Racing Paddock, Crew Chief Russ Newhouse and the Mark 1 Racing Team somehow managed to completely disassemble my #07 Formula Super Vee, replace the oil filler tower (which was cracked in the Saturday morning practice), reassemble the car and with two (2) minutes to go put me on the grid for Saturday’s Qualifying. The oil filler tower forms the front motor mount and removal and replacement requires that the car be literally separated into two sections and reassembled. By the way, that component, the oil filler tower is no longer available from a parts house. They had to find the part in a scrap yard! While the crew was doing this, they simultaneously “prepped” Russ’s #06 Formula Super Vee and Bill Allison’s McNamara Formula Vee, so we all made the Qualifying Grid. Looking in the Mirror, this has been a great season. As some of you are aware, for family and health reasons, I am stepping down from the Road Racing Director position. During the year 2002, we successfully implemented the Reserved Paddock Program. The vast majority of the drivers have expressed their opinion in favor of the continuation of that program. The Board of Directors have come down in favor of the new position of Chief - Race Worker Services, which required a “re-write” of the Race Worker – Driver Support[ed] Program and will enable the Chief of Race Worker Services for 2003 to provide awards for extraordinary service. This program is to become effective for the year 2003. The Reserved Paddock Program and the Chief – Race Worker Services are the two programs that I, as Road Racing Director, wished to see enacted and I am pleased that those programs are either Page 12 in place or will be for the year 2003. You have two great candidates, Bob Skinner and Boyd Campbell running for the position of Road Racing Director for 2003. I will give my complete support to either and assist in any way that I can. We now have the Awards Banquet to look forward to. I understand that Jeff Zurschmeide has those plans well in hand and I look forward to seeing all of you there. As your outgoing Road Racing Director, thank you for the opportunity to serve all of you, Drivers, Chiefs and Workers, and to serve the Oregon Region. My special thanks to Bob Smethers and Bud Mansur, Co-Race Operations Managers, our Competition Manager, Howard “Duck” Allen, all the Chiefs and Workers, and last, but not least, our Office Administrator/Registrar, Karen McCoy. Most of all, thank you for “Looking in The Mirror” and for taking care of each other out there. “Thank you for the opportunity to serve all of you, Drivers, Chiefs and Workers, and to serve the Oregon Region. “ Just a few of the many people who turned out to make the 2002 Season Finale a success! LOUD PEDAL October 2002 From A Director’s Chair From A Director’s Chair By: Cheryl ‘Mindy’ Allen, Director 1 email: [email protected] Last year, Robert Dratwa brought an idea to the Board of Directors. He recognized that many of the workers aren’t able, or choose not, to attend the year-end Road Racing Awards Banquet due to the expense. He suggested that there was an excellent opportunity to recognize some of the workers who are there for the Club when they are needed most, by providing them with tickets to the Banquet. RE Greg Bell and the Board thought it was a great idea, but ran out of time before it could be organized. “An excellent opportunity to recognize some of the workers who are there for the Club when they are needed most” Robert and Greg brought the suggestion back to the Board this year, and we all agreed that it was time to make it happen. We agreed that we would use funds from the Worker Incentive Program to provide Banquet tickets to thirty workers. We contacted the Chiefs of each of the worker specialties, and asked them for the names of workers who were there this year for the March and April events, the Friday of the July event, and the August event; the people they really count on to get the job done when we need them most. They gave us approximately 75 names. At the September Board meeting, thirty names were chosen, at random, to receive a ticket to the Banquet. The winners are listed to the right. I’ve always known that our racing family is there when we need them. But I have to admit I was pretty amazed at the end of August. Sometimes it seems as if the racing gods are looking out for us. I was on a two-day marathon business trip to Montana that involved five plane flights and two largegroup training sessions. I’d made it through three flights, and one presentation on the first day, and found myself in a hotel in Missoula very early on the second day. When I staggered downstairs to hit the continental breakfast before the second October 2002 training session, wondering how I was going to make it through another day, I found Esther McAlpin walking into the breakfast room a few feet ahead of me. If you know Esther, you know there is no one better to keep you grounded and serene, no matter how bad things get. After we exchanged big hugs, and ate a few quick bites together, I headed off to do the second training. At which point the first rule of life kicked in. If anything can go wrong, it will…and it did. Without getting into the boring details, I was in a near total state of panic when Esther showed up again, this time with Jim. More big hugs and suddenly my perspective shifted. At that moment I realized that no matter how badly things were going, it had nothing to do with what is really important in my life. I survived, the training went on, and when the day was over, I was back in Portland (kissing the ground!) and more grateful than ever for my race family. So, Esther and Jim, thank you for being there (which was purely fortuitous), but more importantly, for being the very special people that you are! I can’t end this column without talking about the last event of the season. Going into the weekend, I was feeling kind of down because I couldn’t go to the Run-Offs this year. But as great as it would have been to be there to see Duane Davis win his twelfth national championship, to see Mark Jaremko win in DSR, and Scott Culbertson on the podium for the second straight year in GT-4, I was very glad to be here for some incredibly great racing, and the all club party. We started Sunday with the SRF race. Chris Jackson, Todd Harris and Mark Goodman kept us entranced as they traded the lead back and forth, lap after lap. When the word came over comm that they were on the last lap, we all groaned and said “It can’t be over already!” (For any drivers who may be reading this, that is the ultimate compliment from corner workers!) Larry Vollum, who started the race at the end of the pack after switching from his own car to a Pro Drive rental, and Johnny Humphreys, who fell to the back after an early pit stop, both put on an awesome show as they moved steadily and rapidly back up through the pack. We saw some top drawer racing, and I was literally standing on the rails of the tower at turn 4, straining to see who would take the checker, at the end of the LOUD PEDAL race. The Vintage race provided more excellent action, with an awesome battle between the Corvettes. And we finished the day with an IT race that pretty much blew the socks off our feet! The Davies boys from Hood River put on the most excellent show of close racing in their Miatas that I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. The rally on Saturday, three stages - each consisting of one lap around PIR - was great fun. The cars were beautiful, and the drivers and navigators were not only great at what they were doing, but incredibly polite. Every one of them shouted “thank you” as they passed our corner. (Road racers, please take note!) Cascade Sports Car Club cooked an awesome dinner for us, and the TC Blues Band kept many of us out dancing until way too late Saturday night. After more years of corner working than I care to admit to, I still can’t figure out where we find the energy to dance after a long day on our feet. I guess the magic is in the music. The winners of the drawing for a free ticket to the Club Racing awards banquet are: Donna Adams Ken Killam Kim Olsen Rudy Avalon Shawn Kolbe Tracy Schroeder Cy Kratzer Sarah Norlin Scott Sesin Jim Brassfield Nicki Loyning Bob Smethers Howard Gaffney Esther McAlpin Gene Staley Jim Graffy Karen McCoy Mary Thompson Kurt Williams Gene Gronemyer Kurt Weimer Ben Hockman Katie Norlin Jarod Wickham Pam Hockman Patti Norlin Paul Wickham Dick Jewell Barb Blizzard-Levin Randi Miller-Graffy If there is anyone on the above list who won’t be able to attend the Banquet, please let me know, or contact Karen McCoy at the Regional Office, so we can offer the opportunity to another worker. Page 13 Solo 2 Report By: Chuck Jarvie, Solo 2 Director email: [email protected] It is now mid-September and the season is about over for the Solo group. Our National Championships in Topeka are over and I am waiting for results from our last regional events this weekend. As I mentioned last month the solo Nationals are a really big deal, with about 1200 entries this year, all of them making their runs in the space of four days. For first timers it really can be overwhelming to show up, maybe as their own regional champ, and face a starting grid that has more cars in their class than some regions get in an entire event. Some of us have to get used to the weather, i.e. dry, windy and hot (the Solo 2 Report AS was ex-Oregon member Jason Isley who took the third place trophy. Tristan Kotzian drove Jason’s car in ASL and took home the second place trophy after making the fastest run in her class on the second day. It was also her last run and she had been stuck in 6th until then. Jim Daniels took home the 11th spot trophy in ES, only two seconds back of first, in another of the huge (54 entries) classes at Topeka. Tami Daniels finished in 5th, just out of the trophies, in ESL. Other Oregon Region participants were Jim and Bonnie Mueller in FS, FSL with their Mustang Cobra and their son, Lorin in HS with a Ford Focus ZX3. In STS (that’s Street Touring Stock, I think) Curtis Eames got mired in 29th (out of 49 entries) after switching to a new brand of tires shortly before the Nationals. The new brand looks promising but was not “Doug Barrett is running for the Solo2 position. I hope you will give him your support as much as you have me” first four days for me were 98+F and the last four 90+F). It’s a long way to go for about 5 minutes of run time, but you find yourself wanting to go back anyway. Here is how Oregon Region did. Super Stock (SS) seems to get lots of publicity (us open wheel drivers can’t figure out why) and is dominated by the Chevy Z06 Corvette in that only three drivers were in something else (BMW M3’s) out of 51 drivers. Yours truly got to provide warm tires as co-driver (managing only 44th) for Tom Kotzian (past 3 time champion) who came in with a trophy for 11th. Tom was only two seconds behind after two days on two different courses. The competition is really tough. In AS are the previous generation Corvettes. We finally convinced Chuck Spittal to take his ’91 automatic soft top to Topeka. As a first timer he drew the short straw and was virtually first car out on the tough south course, with no rubber in the groove, cold tires and I think was in 17th after the first day. On day two, north course he showed he could run with everyone else and turned in the 5th fastest time in his class. Chuck ended up in 10th (trophies only went six deep in AS) and really showed what he is capable of. Also doing well in Page 14 quite good enough for Topeka where you have to be at the top of your game on every run just to get into the trophies, which went 14 deep in STS. However, not all was lost. Pam Eames, the better half of Curtis, took the second place trophy in STSL, which is one of the larger ladies classes. Another exOregon member, Dawn Maxwell, got her first Nationals trophy running a borrowed (but very fast) Miata in CSL and taking 4th place. Her companion, Mark Johnson, was able to manage 18th in CS. Sounds to me like the ladies are taking home just as much trophy iron as the men. The last Oregon trophy winner is Chris Hartman, in 8th place GS, driving a Subaru Impreza, one of only two I could find on the entry list. The top ranks of GS are dominated by the Toyota Celica, some Neons and a few other marques. It is also a brutally competitive class with 43 entries and trophies down to 12th. Last year Chris ran in STS on ordinary street tires, had a co-driver, and took home a 10th place trophy. This year with sticky tires and driving LOUD PEDAL alone he did even better. And I think this is only his second Nationals. Now for some honorable mentions. Last year Mark Darby took home a trophy for DS in his ’99 Neon. This year it got moved to GS and he only finished 19th. However, he tried to improve his competitiveness by taking a co-driver, one of our newer members, Kala Rounds. Kala normally drives an older Miata and is still learning how to drive this crazy game of ours and make her car more competitive, so the switch to Mark’s heavily prepared Neon is not trivial. Not to mention it was only a few weeks before Nationals and they were planning on driving straight through, about thirty hours on the road, with a car so full of tires, suitcases, etc that they could not recline the seats to get any sleep. And this was also Kala’s first Nationals experience. Talk about jumping of the deep end, this is it! The result was a 33rd placing in the open GS class. It doesn’t sound like much until you realize she could have run in the ladies class, GSL, and finished fourth, still out of the trophies by one place, but it does sound better on resumes. Instead, she stayed in the open class to help Mark. That kind of attitude is really what this sport is about, in my humble opinion. This is just about my last column and by the time you read it elections for the Board of Directors will be going on. I’ll be stepping down and Doug Barrett is running for the Solo2 position. I hope you will give him your support as much as you have me. Writing a column on a monthly basis has been a first for me and I can tell you it is not easy, but I have gotten to the point where it is somewhat enjoyable. The Solo2 awards banquet is on Nov 2nd and I hope to see you there or out on course next season.

Thompson” here to handicap the Run-Offs for you. The “Fear & Loathing” at Mid-Oho will be done by the time you read this, so as you tune-in to SpeedTV, (http://www.scca.org/amateur/club_ racing/runoffs/speed_schedule.html) to watch, this is who you can cheer for. (Including some surprises!). OK, maybe the “L” stands for Loon (NOT Duck), but here we go . . . . . NW member, Mel Kemper, will be our guy to pull for in FM (#2). Ernie Anderson (#27 EP) will lead the RX-7 charge… GO Blue! Chris Tryon (S2 #71) could well be the one to watch in race one. A fine young gentleman who has won and impressed up and down the right coast, he could surprise all. He is being “handled” by trackside characters Jon “surf’s up” Fossi and Doug Esterbrook, so you know he will take the track in Ohio with an excellently prepared and set-up car. Duane Davis goes for championship number twelve in GT-2 (# 1). Need we say more? Larry Hansen from Eureka High School will represent in GT-3 (#9). Lans Stout will be the “other” racer from the Oregon region in #6, hoping to break through for a long overdue medal. While we will all be holding our breath and hoping that Scott Culbertson (#46) gets to the top step of the podium this year. Last year his race was riveting to say the least. American Sedan brings us Chris Billings, who brought “Shermie” back from the dead after that first lap punting last year. So let’s hope for at least a medal for red #21, if not a podium for one of the most dedicated members of this Region. Chris, here’s to having another post-race celebration at Mike’s pizza! (along with Jay & Roger). The man with the most heart will be lucky number 13 in the A.S. race, John Blizzard. Dr. John will take the track in the Norton Gaston prepped Camaro, so he will be READY. Longtime campaigner Lynne Griffiths (#31) and Ali Naimi (#14) will represent in SSB & SSC respectively. Utah’s Steve Zink (#34) will try to chase down club racing’s answer to John Force, AZ’s Scotty B. White in T-1. John Black in SRF. Need I say more? A certain Mindy’s favorite SRF driver. He may be from Tahoe, but his roots are here. Don’t worry, Mindy & Mike, I’ll be sure to take him to the “Dead” Lobster for you. Please, please, please drop SpeedTV a line or an e-mail and tell them how much you ENJOY the Run-Offs coverage, (THINK what it does for membership). The “Big” Johnson has told me how very close we came to NOT having this honor this year. Have I forgotten anyone? Oh, yeah. The only person who I would admit is crazier than me, Mark Jaremko. Talent? Yes. He has only had three races in a DSR, and is picked by SportsCar for the podium in that class. He is also picked in FF, after two previous trips to the podium. I watched him finish second to Sam Schmitt in FC at Road Atlanta in ‘93. Could this be the year the Presidents Cup comes home to the Northwest? Too bad he can’t get off his butt and change his region of record to Oregon! <G> Wasn’t the October issue of SportsCar a tribute to our region? Complete with a cover shot of Lee Stohr’s latest creation. Great story and history lesson from our own Jerry Boone. Hopefully Skip, Brass, the Fraziers, Neil, Bernice and “the Loon” will bring many stories and memories back from the Run-Offs, to share with you our family. Tune in next month for tales from the road. Duck-Out (Winging my way to Mid-Ohio) October 2002 LOUD PEDAL Page 17 By: Anonymous Unknown Spec Racer email: [email protected] Unknown Spec Racer standings as that was pretty well decided before the weekend. Todd Harris dropped back into the the SRF, I think to keep his license current! He’s the chief instructor at the Pro Drive School but just did one TRANS AM race this year. He’s a formidable racer, and he regularly kicked my butt before he retired to run the school at PIR. Well he just dropped back in and resumed where he left off. Congratulations Todd, Great drive man! I did have my moment of personal glory, however. Dode and I approach qualifying with the same intensity as Williams and Ferrari. Dode times the top competition, (you know you’ve arrived when Dode bothers to time you!). We had two qualifying sessions and I was top of the time sheets with a 1:20.2 mid day Saturday. That’s a pretty good time, and I thought it might stand up even though we had an 8:50 am qualifying time for the second session. (cool air). I went out with Derrick Hanna, who was alternating driving a front wheel drive, turbo IT something, (not a good mix), and we traded drafts. Dode was monitoring the times of the competition. Just prior to the end of the session Dode called me with the bad news that Todd had turned a 1:20.02,, WOW! More lead changes than I can remember, virtually every lap, and several times two lead changes per lap as I passed Todd on the back straight. Mark Goodman was right there with us and led a laps also. “I drafted by Todd, hoping to get the finger from the starter” I drafted by Todd at one point, and deliberately went just a tad slow through the back esses, two reasons, one: to try and cool my tires which were starting to give up (5th race weekend) and second: to let Mark close on Todd with the hope that they would get in a scrap and let me escape. This plan backfired when Mark followed Todd by me on the straight on the next lap, then overtook Todd for the lead on the next lap. So much for strategy!! Now I was third. Well we overtook each other enough that I really can’t remember all the details, But Dode reported that the announcer was so excited that he could barely catch his breath. I drafted by Todd, hoping to get the finger from the starter, but alas, no. Todd drafted by on the last lap and that was the move of the race.. My tires were not at their best and Todd is so fast though the back esses that I couldn’t mount a serious charge, I did try to worry him but all that did was put me off line so that Mark Goodman came within about two feet of taking second place from me. This was a barn-burner of as weekend, a great season finale. Nice clean racing, no hits no errors. I just can’t imagine a better class to race in. One very important word that I need to say is a huge thank-you to the workers. I hope we gave you enough entertainment and I’m so greatful for all the time you devote to the sport. There was a grea BAR-B-Q on Saturday night, with live music and lots of great company. Thanks. And the unknown worker responds: “Catia and I were working in turn 4, so we had an excellent view of all the action in the west end of the track. We were “leeterally” (as Catia would say) standing on the railings on the tower straining to see who would get to the checkered flag first at the end. You all got the ultimate corner worker compliment when they announced last lap, and everyone on my crew groaned and said “It CAN’T be over already!” “How much time left?” I asked. ”Not much,” she replied, “maybe two minutes.” ”That’s going to be mighty tough.” “Drive like Schumacher” she says, (she always says that when she want’s me to do the impossible.) Well the Timer clicked off 1:19.900 and there was the checkered for the end of the session. Dode got me at a 1:19.89 and Timing and scoring got me at 1:19.88? good for the pole. I was ecstatic. Qualifying, as much as the race, is a lot of fun, it’s a great time to have a good mate on the radio, great team stuff. I love it. Authorized Spec Racer CSR and Formula Mazda Dealer The race was lots of fun too. Three different leaders, very clean, lots of passing, the anouncer said a couple of times:”this is as good as it gets.” 360-225-4947 360-225-0798 fax Larry Vollum had motor cut out problems in qualifying and opted to start from the back of the pack in a rental car. He had a spectacular drive and came from last to 4th. place. This didn’t effect the championship Page 18 Rentals • Par ts • Sales Ser vice • Transpor tation [email protected] 1391 Down River Drive , Suite A Woodland, WA 98674 LOUD PEDAL October 2002 REview REview By: Holly Remington, Regional Executive email: [email protected] I’d like to recognize the outstanding efforts Doug Berger has put into this publication over the years of his editorship. His talents are numerous, and we were all the better for having his expertise guiding the Loud Pedal through the 90’s. Doug was awarded 3rd place in the National Newsletter competition which further speaks to the kind of work he did for the membership. Thank you, Doug. Dave Isselhard your Road Racing Director has decided not to seek reelection. Dave’s got his personal priorities well in hand, and for that I have great respect. He’s worked very hard this year, trying different schedules, working on class rules and groupings, and attending countless meetings. Please thank him for all his efforts the next time you see him. I’d like to thank Diana Dance and Bill Dratwa for carrying out Robert Dratwa’s last wishes, and for allowing all of us to share in their very personal loss. I was moved by Diana’s reading during his ceremony at Turn 12 last Saturday, and further touched by all the people there. It was truly a fitting service for Robert. Speaking of last weekend, what a wonderful opportunity we had on Saturday to have all of our venues competing at the same place and time. I was thrilled to see all the folks from the Oregon Rally Group there. The Club Rally was fun; they look a little different on track than they do when sliding through the forests at obscene speeds. Race and Solo II had two major accidents. At last report Ernie Yakomovich was treated and released. The Solo II participant, who managed to break a water pipe and take down the electrical on the propit wall was OK too. The report on the vehicles isn’t such good news. The All Club party truly turned out to be All Clubs. Thanks go out to Cascade Sports Car Club for doing all the dinner work Saturday night. All of our tummies appreciate the good food after a long day of racing. TC Blues was there playing their hearts out for all of us who like to get up and dance a little. The late night drags were there too, and I’m still so impressed by seeing all the kids out there interested in racing. We have to remember that we are sharing PIR now. We don’t know what our future holds, but, for now we’re sharing. That means we have to support and respect our fellow users. These kids could be our future, lets show them what sportsmanship is really all about. Unless some miracle happens (I haven’t given up hope) we will be shifting our Race operations to the pro-pits for 2003. This means displacing our Solo II competitors; a course of action that causes me to feel very personally defeated. I’d like to hear from you, “Thank you for choosing to be an Oregon Region member. “ please email me with your thoughts about things to consider regarding this move, include any thing you think I need to hear. In the near future, we will be appointing a new track development committee. I have had discussions with representatives from other Clubs regarding this possibility. All of them agree that the time is right to attempt to build a Club track. If you have experience in Development, Incorporation, or other relevant experience, please let me know. I envision this person to work with the other Clubs to develop ideas on how we can bring this Northwest Racing dream to fruition. Congratulations to all of our Regional Road Racing & SoloII Champions. Rally still has a couple more events to get in before their Championships are decided. Congratulations to Duane Davis for winning a 12th Runoffs Championship. We had 11 drivers go back to Mid-Ohio to compete at the “Olympics of Motorsports”, there were a few heartbreaks, but a bunch of podium finishes. In addition, long time Oregon Region member, Larry Hansen from Eureka, CA won the prestigious President’s Cup. He also got a silver medal in GT3. Neil Swanson was crowned the BF Goodrich Sound Control Worker of the Year. He joins 5 other Oregon Region workers who have been similarly honored. Thank you, Neil, for your frequently thankless job well done. Thank you Gary Manchester for printing up stickers in Robert’s memory, and just for being you. Thanks Karen McCoy for being the always happy voice on the other end of the Office phone, and for talking to me in that calming voice when I’m worked up about something. Thanks to Mary Thompson for being the best scribe we could ever hope for. For organizing our meetings, and for keeping us on task (I didn’t do so well without you at the last meeting, just ask Mindy…) Oregon Region Members At the 2002 Runoffs October 2002 LOUD PEDAL In closing, thank you for choosing to be an Oregon Region member. Page 19 By: Matt Tabor, Rally Director email: [email protected] The season for race and solo is drawing to a close, but rally is still going strong with one more each: a ClubRally, a RallyCross, and a RoadRally. Before we get to those, however, I wanted to take a moment and say a big ‘Thank You!’ to Holly, Bobby, Bud, and Dave for letting us use some of the track time for the Tarmac Zone ClubRally on the 21st of September. I know there is only a certain amount of time you guys are allotted for use each weekend, and letting us borrow some made those who participated feel very welcome at the All Club Party. John Elkin was the mastermind behind our segment of the show, and he put in a lot of work, as well. Thanks, John! If you weren’t there or missed it, we had some pretty interesting lines through most of the corners. Check elsewhere in this issue for times to see who was brave enough to take on the track, and how we did. Now, on the rest of the season! On October 12th and 13th, Oregon Region and Oregon Rally Group are proud to bring you the Port Orford TSD RoadRally. This event, written by Andy Hilmer and chaired by Kevin Poirier, will start in Wilsonville, traverse the Willamette Valley and the Coast Range to end the day in Port Orford. Once there, the town rolls out the red carpet with a party like no other. Dinner, two bands, and the whole community will be on hand to welcome us for a midrally party like no other. After breakfast the next morning, it’s back on the road to end in Albany. This will be two days of adventure through some of Southwest Oregon’s best country roads in an easy to follow format. If you haven’t tried RoadRally before, this would be a great introduction. Hurry, though: Space is limited to the first 25 cars. Contact me (see below) or see www.oregonrally.com for more info. The following weekend will be the final event in the NorPac ClubRally Page 20 Rally Extremes Rally Extremes calendar, the Mt. Hood ClubRally. Based in O’dell, OR (just south of Hood River) and running in the Mt. Hood National Forest, this event is designed as an introduction of our Rally season is not over yet! Don’t miss these remaining events: October 12-13 - Oregon Region SCCA Port Orford Road Rally, Wilsonville, OR to Port Orford, OR and back again October 18 - CSCC Friday Nighter Road Rally - Eastport Plaza, 3900 SE 82nd Ave, PDX October 19 - Oregon Region SCCA Mount Hood Club Rally in Hood River, OR October 25 - CSCC “Ghoul’s Gambol Road Rally - Eastport Plaza, 3900 SE 82nd Ave, PDX October 26 - Oregon Region SCCA Rallycross at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Hillsboro, OR Club to the Forest Service, and vice versa. Even though there are just 11 short miles total, the event will serve as a stepping-stone for possible future events in the area. It is also rumored that our own local automotive newspaper correspondent Jerry Boone is looking for a ride in the event. Stay tuned for more info. Lastly, on the 26th of October will be the season ending event for RallyCross. This looks to be a big one, too. Please note that this is a Saturday. We had to change it for the following reason: On Sunday of that same weekend, Subaru of America is having a track day at PIR with all sorts of big doings. They are working to bring to the event Mark Lovell of the Subaru Rally Team USA. If they get him there, there is a great probability that he will be in town in time for the RallyCross on Saturday morning, before heading over to Carr Subaru for an afternoon appearance. With a little cross marketing, we could see the largest turn out for a RallyCross event in the region’s short RallyCross history. Again, keep an eye on the website, as well as www.Subaruwest.com (Subaru Western Region’s Website) for details as they become available. Well, that’s all for this month. If you would like more information of the Port Orford TSD, would like to volunteer for the Mt. Hood ClubRally, or want to know how you can challenge Mark Lovell at the seasoning ending RallyCross, you can contact me in one of the following ways: via snail-mail at P.O.

The Region’s Future (Addressed to the Region Board of Directors & the Loud Pedal) Just want to take a bit of your time with my “interested member of the club” hat on for a minute here. I’m sure some of the thoughts below have occurred to you, now that you are “Members of the Board,” but wanted to outline some my thoughts upon which I’ve been quiet for a number of years – due in part to other hats that I’ve been wearing. My interest here is getting some issues on the table and prompting the Board for definitive answers upon which members can track progress for these issues. The interest here is as a club member and corporate stockholder. Greg Bell’s letter to the membership earlier this year has prompted the thinking about issues that do need to be addressed. The first issue then, is: The principle outlined in the Region’s Bylaws is that the Board is a POLICY Board and as such needs to put goals and objectives for each of it’s programs in writing for the people who are going to implement those goals and guide the Region’s success. Second issue: Getting the BUSINESS house in order should be a high priority. Depending on how you count the money, Oregon Region is a $500,000 to $1,000,000 a year private non-profit state approved corporation. That includes a number of legal responsibilities and tax issues. October 2002 We Get Letters! We Get Letters! Third issue: Access to Board meetings for folks living outside of Portland – are there any thoughts being given or plans being made to hold Board meetings in the Wilsonville area to give members from Salem and Eugene better access to them? As an alternative, can they be held during Saturdays or Sundays to make the travel easier for members outside of Portland? Fourth issue: What has been produced by the Bylaw Revision Committee that has been mentioned a couple of times in the past year or two in the minutes? “What is the Business Plan for the Region?” What problems/issues need corrected in the Bylaws? to be Fifth issue: What is the Business Plan for the Region? -- One year; -- Five year; and -- Ten year horizons. Included in this would be the basic question of whether or not the Region is going to look at finding any alternative sites to the Portland International Raceway for roadracing, solo and possibly rallycross competition. The ongoing disintegration of CART makes this a pretty important situation. Paul Allen has not abandoned his plans to turn PIR into a site for Concerts, and the City is demanding more and more revenue from PIR as a facility. We will all be affected by this situation. LOUD PEDAL Fifth issue: Based on the short and long range plans, what budgeting philosophies are going to be used, and where can one get a copy of the Balance sheet for the Region. Coincidentally, have the Solo and Rally budgets been incorporated into the Region’s overall financial plans and tax reporting structure? This would include a budget approved by the Board for each event – Racing, Rally and Solo. Also, have the books of each activity been standardized and how much does each activity contribute to the overall financial welfare of the Corporation? Sixth issue: Where can members go to get copies of the job descriptions for all Board Appointed positions? Also, I understand that some of the responsibilities for specific Board positions have been “adjusted” because in the past certain members have not been willing to accept those responsibilities. Have the Bylaws been modified to permit this, and if not, are the currently elected members going to return to the standards established in the Club’s Bylaws? By raising these issues, I understand that I am volunteering to assist in any way possible to address those issues.

It’s a very logical progression up the ladder. However, I am slightly concerned about the part “race until they are 70”! Are you trying to send a message to us senior racers? Is there a regulation I have overlooked somewhere? Are you trying to get insurance costs down? Or What? Please explain this, Mr. Johnson. Some of my contemporaries, Dan Carmichael, Paul Newman, Oscar Kovaleski, Pete Lovely, etc., would be very interested. This couldn’t be a conspiracy by younger drivers to get us “geezers” out of their hair, could it?” Steve called Monte and explained that it was just a figure of speech, and according to Monte, they had a good laugh over it. So we can all look forward to geezers in our hair for the foreseeable future.
