Thanks for posting this up Cyndi and for maintaining the results/points all season (among MANY other things)! I got a kick out of you including my "Spin Cycle" nickname in the standings. That is pretty hilarious.

For the record, I feel the need to say that 90% of my driving this season was done in Kurt's Lotus and I never spun his car once. All my spins occurred in my BRZ/FRS or Licursi's car. Apparently, I'm not very good at going from a mid-engine/rear-drive car on Hoosiers to front-engine/rear-drive cars on street tires! Even still, I will proudly accept my Spin Cycle name and I'm sure I'll find a way to maintain it next season.

Well I'm co-driving with Licursi next season, (well depending on if he can teach me to drive stick) so we will see how much spinning I can do in his car, maybe I can take the title from you... someone had to fill Travis Ball's place with spinning, this season it happened to be you.

I may not have been the fastest BY A LOT, but I showed up and always had FUN. Looking forward to being more active in the club next year. Thanks for a great season!

Glad you came and had a FUN time that is all that matters come out and drive and have a good time, whether you are near the top or near the bottom just come out and have a blast. And we are always looking for volunteers who want to be more active in the club, come see one of us in March.

Hello Cyndi,



Thank you for publishing the list of 2013 Season Award Winners!!!

Per your recent posting that referenced March, does that mean a tentative '14 Season schedule is available? Is so, could it be published to facilitate some early season planning.


Thanks for all the time and effort you and Steve dedicate to helping the Region, and Happy Holidays!!!

No we don't have a full tentative schedule... shortly Mike will have one we do know the first event will be the first weekend in March the 1st at ZMax.. but Mike is waiting to hear back from other clubs so we do not overlap events as much as possible. We are also looking into a another possible site as well.. so as soon as Mike knows he will post something up.

[Mike Burke]

Thanks Cyndi for your prompt reply!!! We will add Saturday, March 1st at zMAX to our tentative '14 schedule.

Cr@p. That's the first one I won't make. Unless I get fired.

First off congrats to all of the season winners! It was one hell of a season and I'm looking forward to an even better one in 2014.

As intimidating as the his car would appear it's actually quite easy to shift and drive in. For the purpose you'll be learning manual I can't think of a better car to learn on. The shifts were easy to find and forgiving. And the clutch was WAY better than I expected it to be. I expected something stiffer with a lot less room for engagement, but it surprised me. You'll pick it up just fine!

Congrats to all the winners and podium finishes. Special congrats to Steve Darcy in Novice! It was a great season and I enjoyed hanging out, talking, and working course with you. Thanks for all the advice and for some very stiff competition.

See you in STX this year brother! Good luck

[belcher]

Thanks Will. I don't know I how many I'll make this year. But watch out when I do. I got some new fangled yellow and purple suspension parts. Probably Slow me Down. LOL
