Category: From the Regional Executive

You might have heard this phrase used to describe the excitement of being at a corner station at a race. Watching the action from just feet away from the racing surface, you’ll get a view that no spectator has access to — even on TV! Wait, TV?

“May you live in interesting times…” Talk about a case of under-promising and over-delivering. I could use a little less interesting at the moment.

Almost all of us touch this at least once a week, and until a few weeks ago, we never gave it a second thought — the gas pump handle. Wear gloves or use hand sanitizer afterwards.

#FunWithCars – That’s the hashtag you’ve probably seen in various forms on SCCA communications. It summarizes what the club’s primary purpose is – its “why”.

Traveling to the SCCA National Convention a few weeks ago and enjoying some pleasant temperatures really got me excited for the new season — except I had to return to cold gray Chicago. At least we have a few exciting indoor things to do this month.

Happy New Year! It’s a new year, a new decade and a new Regional Executive.

It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve as your Regional Executive. If you were not aware, the Chicago Region Board has term limits and my time is up. You are the best members of a region that has thrived for over 70 years and I am proud to say that I have been a part of it.

The 2019 racing season is over and 2019 is almost over. I hope everyone has had a good year or at least a not so bad one. As a region, we are looking forward to a great 2020 and have already begun our planning and scheduling.
