he days preceding the Alcan
5000 Winter Rally were full - fullof excitement and anxiety for TeamSubaru.
At the ice slalom practice on Barnes

learn some valuable lessons before
the Alcan began, like how to hook the
tow strap onto the Baja’s tow hook so
it wouldn’t fall out, and how maybe
we should remove the fancy PIAA fog

It’s ice race day! We begin the day atGold Pan Speedway, an icy oval track.
The deal on these ice races is that eachcar gets four runs, no more than two
per driver, so Paul and I each took
two. The winning team gets a scoreof 0 (that’s a good thing in TSD rally).
We all battled it out with fractions ofseconds, and my boy Slippery Paul
took the win. I literally took the carfor some spins and cheerfully jumped
back in the co-driver’s seat.

We were challenged by our first DIY(Do-It-Yourself) TSD section on thisday. Paul and I have learned fromexperience to switch the acronym tostand for Do Yourself

The Speed Is Out There

It All Starts With Homework

he speed is out there. You may
have to work for it though! In thepast 25 years or so, there have been a
few instances where we’ve found it. I
say we, instead of I, because it always
takes a team to find the speed…

Someone a great deal wiser than myself
once said that the longest journeymust first begin with a single step.
So what’s the first step toward finding
speed? The same wise man might also
say “seek the knowledge first, and the
speed will reveal itself”.

Car Aerodynamics – Designing for
Speed” is also an excellent resource.
And the classic “How To Make YourCar Handle” by Fred Puhn is a greatplace to start.

Are you at minimum weight? Is thatweight in the most advantageous place,or can some components be moved to
improve the weight distribution? We’ll
get into weight and weight distribution
in another column…

Once you’ve read up on things like rollcenters, motion ratios, dive planes andsuch, and your head is buzzing withideas for the next Formula 1 car, it’stime to start learning about your own
race car. Start with the basics – suchas spring rates, motion ratios, corner
wieghts and such. Do a completealignment (or have it done) to see
where you stand, and if something isalready out of whack. Pull the shocks
off the car, and have them dyno’d.

Even within the constraints of a very
limited budget, there are always things

you can do to make your race carbetter. Some times all it takes is a little
knowledge, and some time.
Next month we’ll start getting into thereal meat and potatoes of the setup,and how to come up with the things totackle first.

Dynoing the shocks at all the available
adjustments can result in some prettyinteresting results, as on one “spec”
shock Norton and I tested. This shockt was supposed to be progressively
stiffer from 1 through 5, yet ended
up being the stiffest at 2, and thesoftest setting ended up being 4!
The other shocks in the set all had
equally unique characteristics. It canbe frustrating to try to adjust aroundsomething if you don’t know what theadjustments do.

Boyd replied that he does not foresee
any changes to the entry fees.
Joe Harlan asked if the $ will be the samefor every event this year? Boyd said thatproviding that we don’t have any major

One of the issues that Boyd mentioned
from the convention was the changes
that are in effect this year concerning
minor waivers. Complete details on thiscan be obtained from Sports Car, the LP
or by contact the regional office.
The safety program that was presented
at the convention impressed Boyd andhe shared some points, one being an
attachment that sticks on the backof the helmet that contains detailed
medical information. As he mentioned,
that way the info is right there and in
the case of an emergency no one has
to go looking for this info that is stored
elsewhere.
PAST RE REPORT - Absent
ASST. RE REPORT – No report
RE COMMENTS – Holly will attend a
Global Events meeting on 2/25. The

supplied at the next BOD meeting.
Holly asked what the BOD thought
about making a donation to the SCCA
Foundation that supports SCCA U,
which put on the safety symposium at

April 2004

the convention.
Cheryl suggested that we wait until
after the budget committee meets before
making any commitments. She also
asked what benefits we would receive bymaking a contribution?
Howard replied that recognition would
be one feature.
Holly did say that she felt they needed
to be more pro-active with response toproviding information on what they haveto offer.
This will be re-addressed next month.
Web registration was discussed with Joe
asking if all facets should not be under
the same domain?
Jeff said that he totally agrees and will
try to discuss this issue with Solo to try
to align all three.
Holly presented one resume that she
had received from marketing interns
that are looking for summer placement.
She expects to receive more based oncontacts that she has made. She asked
Cheryl to review these when available
and to bring Kala into the process of
the interviewing as well. Holly, Cheryl& Kala will meet over lunch one day tocover this issue.
Prized Possessions an award retailer
that gives a healthy discount to SCCA
was discussed. It takes a password toorder on line and it was suggested by
Joe that anyone wishing to order fromthem, present a PO to Gary and at his
discretion he would order or approveand give the password.

3. Chris – Rally is now making someworkers become members in order towork their events.
Holly has asked Monika to workwith Karen on this issue and create
guidelines of usage.
M/S (Cheryl/Monika) to adjourn M/PRespectfully submitted,
Mary Thompson
Road Racing Meeting –Bob spoke about the ambulance thatcurrently is used by E-Crew.
His
suggestion was to try to turn a profit on
it and then purchase two trailers thatwould provide more storage. One for
E-Crew and the other for Tech.
Boyd suggested that Bob discuss thiswith Benny to see what his thoughtsare.
Joe said that he would check on thevalue of the vehicle. He believes that
it is worth much less than Race Ops
thinks it is worth. He will also pricetrailers in the 6x12 size.
Boyd said that he is still waiting for
Bob Grass to respond with the steward
assignments etc. He will try to makecontact again. Joe will also see if he canmake contact.

Tim questioned the use of the Norpac
logo. Holly advised that it could be used
as long as there is to be no profit madeby its use.
Howard brought up the issue of the
new temp memberships. They are now
considered trial memberships and are
free. If we currently have any of theprevious ones that the region bought,
we will not be reimbursed for them. The“trial” memberships are good for 90 days
and if the holder decides to become a full
member they will receive $15 off of themembership.
Monika felt that we should charge somefee for these and have a policy for theirusage.
Other comments were:
1. Bob - They work well to encourage
new members
2. Mary - In the past these were not
usable for pro events. Many times they
were just used as a ticket into theevent.

Stewards In Training
All Road Racing participants should beaware that a couple years ago, SCCA
implemented changes to the Stewards
program.
One of these changes
includes mandatory on-going training
for Stewards.

On March 13, over 20 Stewards from
Oregon and NW Regions gave up a
Saturday to improve their skills. First
year Stewards to Stewards with over
30 years of experience participated.

Skip Yocom Addresses the Meeting

After introductions and opening
remarks, the group was informed about

from SCCA. For example, the newminor waiver program was discussed.
Some time was spent reviewing basic
concepts as a refresher prior to thecommencement of the new racing
season. The Stewards were reminded
to be more thorough in completing andorganizing our paperwork.
A significant amount of time was spentworking through several exercises. At
one point the group was broken down
into teams of about 5 Stewards. These
teams were given sample problems
to resolve.
The problems covered
operation situations such as thehandling of red flags and black flags,
situations involving protests, RFAs andCSAs, and administrative situations
intended to improve knowledge ofprocedural process. Happily all of theteams came to the same conclusions
on all of the exercises. This shows
the Stewards are achieving anothergoal of the new Stewards program,consistency.

Kumho Has The Hot Solo Tire
By: Doug Barrett, Solo 2 Director
email: doug@cascadetek.com

T

he Season has finally started andthe weather is cooperating. As I
mentioned last month some of us went
to San Diego for the National Tour Eventheld March 13th and 14th. Then on
March 21st we had our 1st Oregon
Region event at PIR.
In San Diego the weather could nothave been better, seventy degrees witha light breeze. Perfect! It was worth the
2,500 mile round trip. “A” stock was
the biggest field with 25 cars competing.
A truly diverse field, there were 8
Corvettes, 7 Porsche Boxster S models,
4 Honda S2000 (2004 models), 3 BMW
M3’s, 1 BMW M Coupe, 1 BMW M 5,
1 Mitsubishi Evolution and 1 Subaru

WRX, Sti. By Sunday evening, a Corvette
was in first place, a Porsche Boxster
second and a 2004 Honda S2000 was
third. In fact the first ten positions were
all Corvettes, Porsches and Hondas withthe exception of a stray M3, which snuckin at number 9. I did not finish lastand Jeff Sander my co-driver finishedahead of me. Jeff’s comments after the
event was “This was quit a humbling
experience.” Tom Kotzian was also in
San Diego and is at the top of his game.
After winning the Phoenix Tour in Super
Stock, he turns right around and does itagain in San Diego and then a week later
took first place in Super Stock at the Pro
Solo event in San Bernardino California.
Although Tom didn’t win the Super
Challenge in San Bernardino he has won
just about everything else and is having aphenomenal start to the season.

LOUD PEDALOur March 21st season opener at PIR
was a perfect starter for our local season.
The weather was warm but not to hotwith high clouds most of the day. Perfect
Autocross weather. I guess everyone saw
the weather report Saturday or everyone
has cabin fever. As a result we hit thecap in our morning group. All together
we had a whopping 167 entrants, which,is pushing right up against our cap of
175 for both morning and afternoon
groups.
Bob Sagara, formally of “A” Stock fameshowed up with a brand new yellow (myfavorite car color) Z06 Corvette. I’ll missnot fighting it out with Bob in “A” stock.
Bob immediately took the Super Stockwin and ended up second fasted raw
time of the day right behind the almost
flawless driving of Jim Daniels. Jim’s top
time was 26.711. Speaking of top times,
my old pal Chuck West was 5th fastest in
JP Stein’s Porsche 914/6. Chuck’s timewas 27.673. Chuck was right behind
Curtis Eames in his Boxster. I like to see
Porsche’s in the top spots even if it’s not
my name next to them.
Back in “A” Stock we had a pretty goodfield of 12 competitors. Now that Bob
Sagara is no longer in the field I thought I
might have a better chance of being Kingof The Hill. Well I only have myself toblame. It seems besides the infamous
Chuck Spittal, I now have a new pretty
good driver to beat, my co-driver Jeff
Sander. Jeff took second right behind
Chuck Spittal followed by Jerry Martin
Jr. and Roger Tooker.
In “B” Stock, Gary Hays smoked the classby over a second. This is Gary’s first timeout in his new bright red Boxster. I’d liketo see Curtis Eames come out of PAX
with his “B” Stock Boxster and duke it
out with Gary. Would be a good show.
Hot Tip as picked up from the San Diego
Tour event. Tom Kotzian has said on acouple of occasions that the new Kumho
V710 tires a worth a 1⁄2 a second allthings being equal. Tom beat the second
place Corvette of Stacy Molleker by over afull second when the runs were totaled.
Top-tier driver Ron Bauer says, “Thenew Kumho’s are worth 1 second allthing being equal. So if you’re into sticky
tires and you can find your size, the new
Kumho V710 tires are the ones to get. “April 2004

off in the past few months. In March,
the region board voted to create a newcorporation to pursue our own place torace. This is necessary because there’s
a piece of land outside Goldendale, WA
that looks very promising. We need tohave the corporation in order to take thenext steps towards purchasing land andraising money to build the track.
We’ll be talking more about the projectin the coming months, for the simple
reason that there’s something to talkabout now. Look in these pages monthly
for updates. Please feel free to contact
me or Holly about this project at any
time.

Dr. Dick Buckingham of SOVREN was
seriously injured over the winter at a

was in a coma for some time, andunfortunately, his recovery looks like itwill be long and slow.
But you have a chance to help out.
