PA Hillclimb

This, verbatim, should be in the PHA Newsletter.

Stand by....I have sent an email to Matt Rowe for a clarification. You are not being ignored. It is just that the research is being done by my alter ego/driver: Olden Slough.

I know it seems early, but I am a bit dismayed with the lack of response to Linda's post. At it really is NOT early...detailed planning must begin very soon. What she did not tell you is that she is a member of the board of directors of the Carlisle Arts Learning Center and Gallery here in Carlisle....

Good report, sounds like things are working out for you and yours. As Garrison would say, "Be well, do good work, and keep in touch."

Do not worry about the class on the front of the TT Novice Permit. Just be sure to get your name and address on the inside of the front cover. We will review the rest of the administrative details at your first event.

I have started wearing my SCCA membership card so my name is visible. The sight of the ID hanging around my neck seems to bring folks to me with questions. I do not mind, and it is a way to meet more people...now, if only I could remember all the great people I meet. The "final time raw results...

Larry, Did you catch FV #95 (red)? And perhaps #172 FV (black)??

There is some print on the car (orange letters) something like: The Darkside of Pumpkin Racing

Thank you Steve, for you advice....it saved me the fraction of a second I needed. And, viewing some video, I have room for a little more speed there. John

Ron delivered a first rate presentation. VERY well done!

Welcome. Although this can all be done at registration, I recommend having your SCCA membership and a Time Trial Novice Permit in hand (easily gotten from the SCCA) when you arrive. Oh, you also need a valid state driver's license. If you have any questions, you can direct them to me at jjpfoto@eart...

For those of you who have not heard my Saturday AM discussion with novices, I do mention records. I also tell them to ignore records if: 1. they love their car; 2. they cannot afford to watch it burn in a crumpled heap; or 3. need the car to get to work. I follow with "race against yourself, tr...

Back to the actual subject: I am not opposed to an extra point for a record. Might be a great idea. However, JD, you make a great point: Those not attending all or most of the events are not necessarily chasing an annual championship...so how do we promote more attendance? MIke Ancas did a great job...

I concur with Matt R. If there was a three event drop, based on only 5 counting, the first I would drop would be Polish and the second would be Fall Jefferson. If others think that way, we could lose those courses in a blink. I like the one drop rule, and miss the team championships that had no drop...

The deadline for ads in the Banquet Program is now past. BUT, THERE IS STILL TIME TO REGISTER TO ATTEND. PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY 11/4 IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE BANQUET. (email me at: jjpfoto@earthlink.net; call me at 717.241.9758 or my cell 717.226.0459). Remember this is a tropical theme, so be loud ...

Yes, a block of rooms is set aside. Call the Holiday Inn for reservations and mention Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association.

Nice job Nelson, THANK YOU.

All hands, I forgot to mention: Just because there is a tropical theme for the banquet does not mean there is a costume contest...at least not official or for prizes. We are hoarding our loot for grog and chow. At least the tropical dress will be comfortable. And, if you disapprove, it is ok to wear...

Attention, drivers, workers, family & friends: The PHA Banquet is November 12, 2011 at the Holiday Inn Hershey/Harrisburg. It is at exit 80 of Interstate 81. As in the past, there will be a business meeting before the banquet. The banquet will have a tropical island theme. Watch "latest new...

Morg, you are right. I am not the official points keeper (nor do I want that job), but tried to give Tom Knorr a hand. Your knowledge and interest in the points sytem is very good. How about taking over as Points Keeper?
