Hi All,
Just a quick update and a few reminders for the upcoming Father's Day Dash to be held at BU. This is an out of region points event for the Glen Region so we may have a few extra cars. Because of this I’m going to ask if it is possible that those who know they are coming reply to the g-mail account(snyrscca@gmail.com) or to my(lindsaydj@earthlink.net) or Brian Balliet's(bballiet@stny.rr.com) email that they are attending. We will try to pre-register as many people as possible. This will save time when you come to the registration table. We are going to try and stay on schedule and start immediately after the course walk-through. You must be there by 10:00AM to register!

• We have no more skull caps for those borrowing helmets. Please bring the caps you used at the first event if you're borrowing a helmet.

• It is very possible that Channel 12 will be there to cover our event (this is not yet confirmed)!

• Anyone wishing to help with set-up we would love to have you. We will be there at 07:30 that morning.

• We will again have water and Gatorade for donations of $1.00. Let us know if this is an issue, we want everyone to be safe if it is a hot day.

• If you are a member please have your SCCA license. For those who just joined and have not received your cards you may print out the email for us. Make sure you have a drivers license with you if you're not a member.

Lets have fun and we’ll see you at the races…… Darryl

Hi All,
What a great day we had Sunday! The weather held and we were able to get in 6 runs. I thanked a lot of people, but I forgot the biggest Thank You. That goes to all of you, the competitors. Everyone did a great job staying safe and quickly transitioning to their work assignments.

Now for a few thoughts. Remember, there is always someone around to ride along if you need help. We are all here to have fun. If your struggling, just ask for help. We've all been there before and know that it takes time to improve. Our next points event is the Glen Region's Arnot Mall event this Sunday.  Check their web site (www.glenn-scca.org) for times and directions. Our next home event is Sunday June 21st (Dad's day) at Binghamton University in the same lot.

Not all of you were sure about the weekend memberships. You may join the SCCA at the web site (www.SCCA.org) and receive a $15.00 membership discount by using the "W" number on the top right corner of your form. If you lost your form just email me (lindsaydj@earthlink.net) and I'll get it to you. If joining by mail, send in the copy of the form. Should you race again before joining you'll receive a second $15.00 discount. $30.00 is the total amount you may take off your membership. THESE DISCOUNTS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR 60 DAYS FOLLOWING YOUR WEEKEND EVENT SO DON'T MISS OUT.

Lastly, the results from Sunday can be found by clicking the 'Past Results' link on the left. We're still working out a few computer issues, so there are a few "NA's" recorded for times. Your times were recorded via the back-up system (pen and legal pad).I did not have access to them when typing the results.

Thanks again for a great day. Watch this site, when we hear about the RacingWorld article we'll post where it may be found.

See you at the races.        Darryl

Greetings to All;

We are a little over a week away from our first event.  I wanted take this time to remind everyone of a few things as well as make an announcement about the 24th.  As you know May 24th at Binghamton University is our first event. Please take a look at the web site and the information listed.  

  • We will be starting an hour earlier this year.  It is important that you are there, registered and your car ready for tech inspection by 10:00am.  This will help us to complete all of the paperwork, data entry and get started on time.
  • This is a day long commitment.  When you are not driving, you are either working, or in some cases resting.  We hope to be done and start awards around 4:00pm.
  • We race Rain or Shine (Shine strongly preferred).  Unless it is too dangerous from pooling water or thunderstorms we will race.  Remember, you are going to be working, so dress accordingly. 
  • We do not break for lunch so bring food.  We will have drinks for a dollar donation.

Our goal is to get everyone as many runs as possible.  We need your cooperation to work with us and be ready for your run or assignment at all times.

And Now the NEWS!  Racing World Magazine is going to cover our event.  Here is your chance to possibly make it into a national racing magazine.  Racing World is a new magazine covering motorsports in the Northeast.  They are trying to cover all forms of motorsports, especially the grassroots type of racing.  They are just now putting out their first issues.  You can sign up for a free subscription at RacingWorldMagazine.com.  Lets all get out there and support them (it’s Free).  Their writer will be bringing free issues for all.  In addition Matthews Auto group will be bringing cars Sunday to sit in and check out.  They will arrange a test drive for you at a later time. 
See you there.
                                                                                    Darryl

Greetings Fellow SCCA members;
We’re getting close to our opener, and things are happening quickly.   Members of your board have been busy getting things ready.  We’ve purchased more cones to replace some of those “Well used” ones.  Forms, tech stickers and new helmets are all on order.  Matthews Auto Group is planning on having a few new vehicles at our opener for us to look at.  Maybe there will be an RX-8, a Miata, WRX STI, Cobalt SS or even a Z-06!  Because of insurance regulations we cannot drive the cars that day, but, they will be open for you to check them out.  The salesman there will be happy to set up a test drive for you.  If you stop into a Matthews Dealership please let them know you read about them on our site.  Additionally, check out their link under our schedule.
A member of SNYR, Jim Feeney, has been hard at work setting up a road rally.  The Penn-York rally will be held on May 1st, 2nd and 3rd.  The starting point will be at the Beach Lake Fire Hall, Beach Lake PA. This is a charity event to raise money for the Beach Lake, PA Fire Dept.  The route is being setup by the Northeast Rally Club which helps run two SCCA sanctioned rallies each year.  This event is sponsored by our region.  If your interested contact Jim at jfeeney@stny.rr.com 
Let’s get together!   We’re going to hold a pre-season solo meeting at Bobby’s Place in Endwell on Thursday night, April 16th, at 6:30pm.  Bobby’s is located at 2906 E Main St Endwell.  If you’re new and just want to meet and hang out, or, wish to become involved in the planning, course design or running an event, stop by.  All are welcome. We would love to see you there.


Looking forward to May 24th !
Darryl (your Region Exec. for region #37)

Greetings from the SNYR Regional Executive December 3 , 2008 

Greetings;

I hope that all is well this Holiday Season for you, your family and friends.   I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on Region 37.  My name is Darryl Lindsay.  In November, we held our year- end meeting at Bobby's Place in Endwell. After many years of faithful service, Nick has decided to take a break so I am now your Region Executive. Thank You to Nick for his guidance over the past several years.  Brian Balliet is the Assistant Region Executive;  Nick Brewster is continuing the responsibility of Treasurer and Rob Pingarelli is the Secretary/Membership Chairman. If you're like me, you know people by their cars (it's great being a car junky).  For those of you who I have not met, I drove a red Tiburon in H Stock two years ago.  My son Steve and I put together a 1985 Red Devil Formula 440 which we ran last year. 

As your new Region Executive, I wanted to let you know about a few things we are looking at for next year.  We are still trying to get into a few new sites but nothing is set as of this time.  If you know of, or have access to, a large parking lot that you believe we could utilize please contact one of us.  I have verbal commitments from 3 businesses to sponsor our events next year.  I think this will bring a little more notoriety to our events.  One of those commitments is from one of the large auto dealer groups in our area (announcements to come).   With this we may have several new cars on display at one of our events to look at and possible test drive (but unfortunately not on course).    

Look for us at Race World 2009 at the Oakdale mall in February.  We'll have a couple of cars and a display set-up so stop by and say hello.  There are several videos from past events on YouTube.  Just search SNYR SCCA.  We will probably have an organizational meeting in January so don't forget to watch this site for announcements.  A special thank you to Sue, Brian and Jason Balliet for all of their work on the website.  They have done a wonderful job in updating our web site. 

May the Holidays be a time of peace and sharing with your family and friends. 

Oh Yea…don't forget to ask Santa for that SCCA membership.  See you at the races.                                       

                                                                                Darryl

Results Posted October 27, 2008 
I have all the 2008 results data that I was able to obtain posted
to the results page. Note that it is not in the same format as past
years. We didn't have enough information for that format so we did
it a little differently for this year. In following years we will
go back to the format you all are used to.

Jason Balliet

little help from my mom, Sue Balliet. So thanks goes out to her for that.
Up and coming:

Those will be up as soon as I can code the pages to do it.
