Category: From the Regional Executive

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.

Most of us say that we are “passionate” about motorsports. What does that mean for many of us. That we will devote a ridiculous amount of time, money and effort to spend time in motorsports. From working a corner to road racing to track days there are different prices to pay.

Make a decision, commit to it and do it.

Imagine learning to drive in today’s environment of crazy drivers and never ending construction. We are trying to help by hosting Street Survival schools.

Motorsports is very different than other hobbies where you might find inner peace, a better sense of self, a broader perspective on life, a hoppy smoothness, or buns of steel. The shared passion, love, excitement, challenge, sacrifice, determination, danger, disappointment, commitment, success, and adrenalin bonds so many of us as lifelong friends.

Hello Everyone,   I would like to thank all of our military for their service. Their sacrifice and duty deserve our utmost respect and thanks.  We just concluded our first street survival of the year...

I know this spring has been some crazy weather. I am so tired of snow and I know many of you are as well. We finally made it to May!
