Papa Cal Club sucks.

[Jason Isley BS RX8]

Result? No Cal Club run HPDE/Time Trial/whatever you call it events, instead an alliance with a commercial 3rd party.

Might be interesting to hear the positions of the candidates running for area director on this.

Bunch of talentless kooks screwing around in a parking lot.

Frankly I think it'd be more enlightening if the candidates brought their cars out to the next event to show us who has the best skills.

FWIW, the Midwest division elected Lisa Noble, a career road racer, to the BOD. She drove our Civic at Nationals in STSL, and I believe is the BOD representative to the SEB. I don't want to think what it cost her to register at the last minute (no breaks for BOD members!).

Pretty cool to have someone that actually thinks Solo is fun on the BOD.

Of course, she replaced Charlie Clark, one of the 100-percenters at Solo Nationals, so it only seems right that we'd have at least one Solo-friendly member on the BOD.

Hey, Steve, you don't have anything to do, and you should have more business sense than most of the BOD members. That is why Julow isn't coming back, right?

[Bill Schenker]

... so it only seems right that we'd have at least one Solo-friendly member on the BOD....

Oooh! Stop being so greedy, David! I'm mean, it's not like a lot of S.C.C.A. members are Solo2ers!

[Steve Ekstrand]

By the second meeting I'd go postal on their sorry asses....
Boards and Jurors are absolute opposites.

They say jurors are stupid but juries are pretty smart. Although the past decade that seems to be breaking down too...

Board members are generally pretty competent, but put them together and they become like democrats in congress.

Jim Julow is pretty well respected. I gotta think in a falling out between him and the board, the board gets the indictment.

When she came to our first SEB call she also said something about getting an F125.... No idea if she did. In area 4 (I think it is 4) former SEB chair and soloist Marcus Meridieth is on the tickect for the BoD. I hope he gets it.

[David Avard]

I believe that Lisa did get the shifter kart, but there aren't many placed that you can autocross it in the midwest. Salina works, but there is a nasty bump that has taken the bodywork off an F125 before. But other than HPT, there aren't any places in the Kansas region that you can run a kart. KC works, but is a 2-hour drive from Manhattan, where Lisa lives (although I doubt that would stop her).

[Steve Ekstrand]

Lisa seems very solo friendly.

Marcus would be great for us.

There's this 2 page spread in the SoPac newspaper thing they sent out a week or so ago, plus dude bought an ad right there too. They have threads over on Papa cal club's forum about it. Both of the dude's running tertiarily mention Rally and Solo at the end of a paragraph somewhere in their position statements. But you do get a bit of the, "we are all here to support road racing" feel from both. But then I'm just tertiarily following the election so I guess I get what I pay for. ;)

Search is my friend, I found it.


Can you point me to the thread on the Cal Club board and or give me the name of the other guy (I know Lewis is one but can't find the other guy).
