50th Anniversary
GALA CELEBRATION
A GREAT HIT!
July 16, 2006, Saratoga Springs, NY. The Saratoga
Automobile Museum was the venue for the gala
celebration of the 50th Anniversary celebration for
Mohawk-Hudson SCCA. Members, friends, past
participants and notables filled the museum.
Attendance was greater than anticipated with about
160 guests & members. All those attending deemed it a
resounding success. Many thanks to the planning
commitee: Dave McClumpha, Greg Rickes, Jim Bucci,
Peter Kroth with assistance from Roly Heacox, Art
Fredericks and Dave Wachtel.
A short well-prepared program was presented with
Greg Rickes as master of ceremonies. Ron Hedger
representing the auto museum spoke briefly followed
by RE Gene Tricozzi who introduced current office
holders and dignitaries present as well as those not
attending. Greg introduced three podium guests: Dave
McClumpha, Art Fredericks and Roly Heacox, each
guest giving a colorful glimpse of the club’s early years.
A silent auction organized by Dominic Karl proved
to be excitng as well as profitable. Diane Smith became
a human pitbull to win the 3-hour limo ride for their
daughter Shelby’s Sept. wedding. Nick Karl made the
big mistake of bidding on many items to get things
started. Ah, well, live, learn and pay the man.
Everyone seemed in great spirits while enjoying the
collection of Jim Taylor auto treasures as well as the
company of a great many of MoHud’s past and present
elite. A fun time was had by all!!

Kroth welcome an incoming
guest in the reception area.

GENE TRICOZZI
This past month has been a very busy time, with all the
preparation for both the Regional race at Lime Rock
Park and our 50th anniversary celebration at the Saratoga
Auto museum.
I went to Lime Rock on Monday night to register
and get my tech sticker. The weather looked suspect but
I didn’t think much about it because I hadn’t checked
the weather report. Well, I can tell you, I have seen some
hard rains but this was amazing. I was in the registration
building when the storm started. It didn’t take long for
the power to go out. Fortunately, there was help on the
way with the arrival of a Coleman lantern followed by a
generator to bring back the power.
Race day proved to be interesting as well, with a
dry morning followed by a wet midday. This made for
an interesting race for those who qualified in the dry
and raced in the wet, that was my situation. I was in the
first race group (Spec Miata) which is always interesting
regardless. I was keeping it clean but not fast until the
car in front of me spun and I couldn’t resist following
him off course in the left-hander. The good part, as it
turned out, I was not in the bog and able to drive out.
The bad part was I returned at the back of the pack.

WELCOMES JOHN FIT
CH EXHIBIT
FITCH
“Mercedes-Benz Presents John Fitch: An
American Racing Hero.” An exhibit featuring one
of a kind cars, photographs, and video celebrating
legendary race-car driver John Fitch’s career and
contribution to motorsports. July 29th through
November 14th; 110 Avenue of the Pines, Saratoga
Springs, NY 12866 (518-587-1935); daily 10am5pm; $7 adults, $5 seniors, $3.50 children 6yrs
and older. www.saratogaautomuseum.org
Well it was fun anyway. This year’s race proved to be a
challenge, with the 4th falling on a Tuesday and then
weather creating some havoc.
The club’s race results are being compiled and will
be presented when complete.
The 50th anniversary celebration was a great success.
I can’t think of a better setting to hold an anniversary
celebration for a club such as ours. I heard an
approximate number of 156 attendees. That was a
pleasant surprise, one I was hoping for. There were many
dignitaries in attendance as well: Robert Introne,
Chairman of SCCA’s Board of Directors; John Sheridan,
Area 10 Director; and Kathy Barnes, NER regional exec.,
to name a few.
I also want to thank Ron Hedger of the Saratoga
Auto Museum and Greg Rickes our Master of
Ceremonies. Ron announced the appointment of Tom
Campbell to the museum Board of Directors,
congratulations Tom.
As a reminder, our August membership meeting will
be replaced with our night at the Go-kart track. See the
attached time and directions in this edition. Hope to see
everyone there.
As a reminder submissions to the KO should be emailed to Lisa Hanifan and the deadline is the 15th of
the month.
I do look forward to any input.

NEDIV SOLO
CHAMPIONSHIP
This past weekend, July 22-23, was the Nediv Solo
Championship at the Seneca Army Depot in Romulus
NY. Mohud Trophy Winners were: Andy Furlong, 1st
in EP, VW Rabbit; Tom Hansen, 3rd in STS, pesky red
Honda Civic; Joe Sell, 4th in STS, same pesky red Honda
Civic(they are everywhere, car owner of 3rd place Tom
Hansen by the way). Other Finishes: Bruce Kosakoski,
2nd in FSP, BMW 320i; I, myself, came in 5th in SM,
Nissan 240sx; Bert Huiest, DFL in STS, BMW 318ti;
Mickey Mossaidis, 4th in STX, another pesky red Honda
Civic. I am not sure where Jim Garry, CM Formula Ford,
or Arn Beebe, CP Ford Mustang, finished. The RPI
Formula SAE car was there with 2 Mohud Drivers, am
not sure who won but Kevin Chavin & Charles Goodwin
are MHR Drivers in this car. I have attached some pics:
Joe Sell getting his trophy, “Camp MoHud” at the depot.
Some “official” pics are available on the FLR SCCA
website.

Member Update
Dear Friends, Family, and Associates,
It’s been quite a while since I updated everyone
on the progress of my health issues. Fortunately, I
have only good news to report, so I’m thankful to
say here’s my final update.
First of all, I’m extremely grateful to all of you
who have been so wonderful in offering your
expressions of caring and support. I simply can’t
express my profound gratitude to you for all you’ve
done to buoy my spirits over an often times rough
eight months. Your emails, phone calls, and visits
have been incredibly uplifting. They’ve also
motivated me to face my challenges with a sense
of confidence and peace, and I firmly believe that’s
been no small part of the heartening progress I’ve
experienced.
Here’s where things stand at the moment. I’ve
recovered nearly 100% from the surgery to remove
my lung tumor. The truth is, on most days I have
absolutely no evidence of that surgery at all. And
while I continue to undergo hormonal therapy to
treat my prostate cancer, just today I completed
the nine-week regimen of radiation therapy. No
more daily zapping! Given that radiation is an
aggressive therapy for curing prostate cancer, I’ve
now reached a significant milestone, for sure. In
about nine months I’ll be able to confirm that the
radiation has killed all my cancer cells.
Most patients who undergo a combination of
hormonal and radiation therapy for prostate cancer
experience a rather nasty mix of side effects. I,
however, have been incredibly fortunate to have
escaped most of those effects...perhaps because
of the many prayers you have offered on my behalf.
For that, I can never thank you enough.
So, my prospects for the future are extremely
positive. I’m anxious to recover my full strength, to
resume my relationship with the Skip Barber
Racing School, and to run some races before the
2006 season draws to a close.
All I can say at this point is, “Thank you.” Thank
you from the bottom of my heart. I feel so terribly
sorry for the many people who struggle through
similar health issues, but who lack the incredible
support that all of you have provided me. Please
say a prayer for those less fortunate people, that
they might derive the same strength of spirit that
you’ve imparted to me. Believe me, it has made
an immeasurable difference, and I’m so very, very
grateful for that.
All the very best,
Rick Pocock

Beginning July 12, 2006, the Saratoga Automobile Museum’s website will be a new on-line presence designed for easy navigation. It will enable visitors to find information quickly and efficiently.
Steve Potter, the Museum’s executive director said “Traffic on our site has grown rapidly; it’s the main
way new visitors are finding out about us. So, our on-line presence is critical to our continued rapid
growth...” www.saratogaautomuseum.org, <http://www.saratogaautomuseum.org,>
The new site address reflects the Museum’s not-for-profit status. The Museum’s graphic designer,
Adrienne Cochrane, directed the redesign, which was executed by Vermont Web Programmers in
Middlebury, Vt. The new site features a home page that is at once visually more striking than its
predecessor but also more straightforward. Simple navigational features make it easy for a visitor to
go directly to the part of any part of the site. “The Museum is in a strikingly beautiful building, and I
thought that our website should reflect that,” said Cochrane. “I believe we’ve accomplished that goal.
But more important, this new design will facilitate visitors getting the information they need quickly
and efficiently.”
For More information, visit our website: (www.saratogaautomuseum.org<http://
www.saratogaautomuseum.org>) or call the museum at (518) 587-1935.
ANNOUNCING... Saturday, July, 15, 2006 9am -3pm, give three cheers for the Red,
White, and Blue, and the T-Birds, Fords, and Chevys, too! Entry to the show field is
included with Museum Admission. If that weren’t enough, there are more Classic cars
like a 427 Shelby and Boss 429 in the “Driving Passion...The Jim Taylor Collection”
exhibit, and Race Cars from New York inside the Museum.
Admission is $7 for Adults, $5 for Senior Adults and Active Military, and $3.50 for
children ages 6-16. If you’d like to show off your American Car, the registration fee is
$5, and cars should be in place by 9am. Trophies for Best in Show and People’s
Choice will be awarded.
More great Patrons...

The season is already about half way over. The
Saturday and Sunday event at Fulton-Montgomery
Community College on June 24th and 25th was
considered a success for both our club and the college.
The inaugural event for the College’s car show,
according to the College, was well attended despite
other Capital Region Area car clubs having shows on
the same day. I do believe we did pick up a new member
or two because of Saturdays’ event. People who came to
look at the Rods at the Car show just had to walk about
200 ft. from the front parking area to the side parking
lots to look and see what Solo Competition was all
about. Curiosity got the best of some in the show and
they signed up to run, got teched and participated.
Others signed waivers, asked questions and got a
chance to look through the glass of our experienced
Solo Cars. I do believe that we had return enthusiasts on
Sunday because of this. On the same campus (FMCC)
but two different venues I believe this was the first
“show and go” type of automotive event I can remember
in the area.
With the threat of stormy weather to hamper the
Regional July 4th Race, rains held off until lunch time
and then went away soon after. There was plenty of
support this year for the “Chuck Wagon”. With DJ and
the other guy, aka Me; the other other guy, aka Bill
Bennett; and the other other other guy, aka Ken
Lendrum, the Mo-Hud van, aka “Chuck Wagon”, was
fully staffed to dispense stuff for the corner workers and
all who worked the John Stim Memorial Race. Jack H.
and company will no doubt give the ins and outs of the
days events.
By the time this report is read the 50th Anniversary
of Mo-Hud Region at the Saratoga Auto Museum will
have take place. Dave McClumpha and Jim Bucci of the
Limerock uphill “sound birds’ fame has indicated that
it will be well attended.
A few of us Solo people will be heading out to
western NY to the Seneca Army Depot for the North
East Divisional set for July 22nd, and 23rd. Once again
we look forward to meeting and competing with our
Solo Comrads. Expectations are high with news that the
site is very large. We shall see.
In ending, there is the fourth points event at FMCC
on July 30, hope that this is well attended and the
weather gods are with us.
Wow this season is flying by,
Bruce

Nothing much to report this month. Check the web site frequently for the latest changes. The bulletin
board is getting used a bit more. I’ve given Eric Smith administrator privileges for the board. EJ has
been and will continue to be an enthusiastic and valuable asset. Thanks EJ.

is a family affair!
Shown at right is Russ Burkhard and family at last
August’s FunPlex event. Many more friendships and
good times are created at our events than we can actually report on. These bonds end up lasting a lifetime.
Our 50th Anniversary party revealed that with all the
guests finding old friends and making new ones.
Bring a friend or two to our next event. Show
them what a great club we have and spread the cheer
and news to others.
