The election of officers is just around the corner The secretary Carl Dresie will be mailing out ballots to all of the members within a few weeks Please take the time to either mail them back to Carl or bring them to the October meeting
I just got back from the Solo Nationals in Lincoln Nebraska There were a whole bunch of Finger Lakes members running there this year ndash 17 of us There were a lot of other people there as well we set a record with 1168 competitors All I can say is that I had a good time and appreciated all of the help received just as I was getting ready to make my second run After I got belted in for my second run I turned the key and got nothing no click nothing Popped the hood and I was informed that the battery hold down was not holding the battery down Jumped out of the car and told the grid worker that I was going to need a 10 minute mechanical when it got to be my turn to run There were a whole bunch of hands under the hood as we tried to reattach the bracket When it looked like we had it almost together Chris Bucknam told me to go ahead and get in the car and get belted in While there were still someone working on the battery Chris told me to start the car up (I was hoping there were no hands in the way of moving parts at this point) I made my second run and ended up going off course when the rear end took a quick hop that I couldnrsquot recover from Got back from that run and popped open the hood to find that the battery had come loose again This time we had more time and an additional nut and a well positioned strap (thanks Paul Quinn) made sure that the bracket wouldnrsquot come off again Now if only I could have just driven a little faster
One week before the Fun One we are experiencing one of the largest entries we have seen in some years We currently have over 375 entries and Irsquom sure we will gain some more and possibly loose some this is a bit more than we had anticipated We are having the pig roast on the track and I know we will have a good party ndash thanks to Elizabeth Thiel who was able to talk the track into allowing us to continue to have our much anticipated party
Sometimes I seem to spend most of my time thanking people for the work they do during the year The toughest job of as Regional Executive is getting people to step forward and help out I have been blessed by a group of people who continue to step forward and hopefully it will continue next year
So until next monthhellipMike

Chuck Krueger inducted into Walk of FameLynn Randall
Several Finger Lakes members traveled to Franklin Street in Watkins Glen to attend the induction of long time FLR member Chuck Krueger into the Walk of Fame Chuck who passed away in December 2009 will be remembered by a granite marker in front of the Watkins Glen post office Bill Bell Syl Barlow Bob Henderson Gary Morgan Gene Dinkel Bill Bradshaw and Bob Swinehart went to the Vintage Festival to honor Chuckrsquos induction International Motor Sports Research Library Historian Bill Green made remarks at the steps of the courthouse as did J C Argetsinger president of the Motor Sports Library also spoke JC is also the son of the founder of racing at Watkins Glen Cameron Argetsinger
Chuck Kruegerrsquos son Chuck Jr shared a few memorable anecdotes about his Dad ldquoWe were track bratsrdquo he said We never took a vacation but spent every weekend at the racetrack ldquo Chuck Sr won the 1962 Northeast Division G Modified championship and second over all the same year in the Glen Classic driving and Elva Mark V ldquoMy Dad would help all the competitorsrdquo Chuck Jr saidrdquo Sometimes he would postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the trackrdquo
Finger Lakes member Gary Morgan also spoke at the dedication ldquo Many of us drivers in the sixties and seventies hung around Chuckrsquos garage at Teeds Corners in Leicester NY getting help and just bench racing ldquo Gary then recounted a trip that he and Chuck took to Lime Rock to a
92010 September
race a new Camarordquo It had overheating problems and we never turned a wheel on the track but we had a great timerdquo
Chuck would be proud to be in good company on the Walk of Fame He was the 57th driver to be honored joining the ranks of such racing greats as Gilles Villenuve Mark Donohue and Jackie Stewart as well as our own Finger Lakes members Gary Morgan and Bob Henderson Next time you are visiting Watkins Glen make it a point to stop by Franklin Street and take a look for these markers remembering that these people stand for competition sportsmanship and camaraderie

Remembering Chuck KruegerHoward Appell howardlivingstonnewscom
(Originally printed in the Livingston County News 122 Main Street Geneseo NY 14454)
Chuck Krueger used to have a repair garage at Teeds Corners where Peoria Road crosses Route 36 between Wadsworh and Leicester
He sold Jeeps and Volvos under the banner European Sales amp Service Chuck sold out in 1970 and got into the construction business but in the years prior to that time the garage was a place for the local racing crowd to meet and swap stories
The guys from Rochester would come down and my father would work on their cars recalls Chuck Jr who was a youngster at that time It was the Friday night hangout for that crowd In the winter theyd still come down and do the table racing
My brother Wes and I grew up as track brats Chuck Jr relates The character he observed among the club racers presented a role model of competitiveness tempered with camaraderie
They all went out of their way to help each other Sometimes my father would
postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the track
Those guys were really competitive but it wasnt the cutthroat competitiveness of today Everyone was having a good time
Chuck Jr remembers a racing partnership of his father Car amp Driver columnist Brock Yates of Castile Caledonia druggist Lloyd Kennison and a couple of other racers The group bought a Formula Junior Open Wheel model with an 850 cc engine They would draw straws to determine who would drive but it was soon evident that Krueger was the most skilled among them Chuck Sr eventually bought out his partners and became the sole driver
Chucks friendship with Brock Yates resulted in Car amp Driver road test vehicles ending up at the garage Getting picked up from sports practice on Friday nights at York school Chuck Jr might find himself riding in a Ferrari Mercedes or any number of exotic sports models which had been loaned to Yates for a magazine road test
Chuck Sr raced at Watkins Glen the Dayton 24 Hour Briar N H Thomson Conn and a number of other northeastern circuit tracks Included among his accolades was a 1963 Northeastern Division Championship
The primary phase of Krueger Srs racing career extended from his first race at age 22 at Watkins Glen in 1955 on through 1970 Then in the 1990s he made a comeback It started with a local chapter Sports Car Club of America reunion race in 1985 at Watkins Glen that both Chuck Sr and Chuck Jr attended I always meant to race but instead had got involved in airplanes and aerobatics Chuck Jr tells But the smell and feel of the track on that day made him realize he needed to race as well Later that summer he took the necessary classes for racing certification bought a racer and appointed his father and brother as members of his pit crew
It didnt take long for Chuck Jr to convince his father to renew his own racing license Although Chuck Sr had never driven the newer design vehicles with slick tires and modern suspension at driver school he took to them naturally and immediately and was soon racing with his son They would swap the car One race Id run and hed be pit crew the next hed run and Id be
pit crew Chuck Jr reports
One day Chuck Jr told his father he couldnt drive the car anymore knowing perfectly well what he would do Buy his own It was a car identical to his sons excepting only for the color of the roll bar Both were Swift DB2s with two liter rear engine motors
For three years I got to race against my father We did all the local tracks in the northeast Chuck Jr recalls with pleasure I spent a ton of money doing it but being together with my father and having those memories was worth every penny
Krueger Jr and Sr raced through the 1993 season before health issues i n f l uenced Chuck S r t o r e t i r e He was still fast -- and he didnt treat me any differently than the next guy Chuck Jr recollects If I didnt have the corner made hed cut me off like anybody else
Father and son both amassed a large collection of trophies during those years silver and pewter plates and cups from an era when trophies were real trophies and usually accompanied by a bottle of champagne -- not todays table trinkets
We never got any real money for it Club racing is something you do for the fun Chuck Jr advises However the club circuit could be a stepping-stone to the Junior Pro Series and maybe for a few the Indy series or NASCAR
But Chuck Jr explains the reality Ninety-eight percent of the guys have a lot of dreams -- and theyre playing them out and having a lot of fun doing it For the most part everyone there goes to help someone else out as much as hes going for himself
You race on the weekend and spend most of your spare time during the week getting ready to go again After his father retired Chuck Jr raced two more years before retiring h i m s e l f a f t e r t h e 1 9 9 5 s e a s o n Chuck Sr passed away on Christmas evening of 2009
Chuck Jr appreciates that his father was blessed to have had that passion in his life When you get right down to it there was nothing my father liked better than to get in a car and race he reflects At the funeral parlor you had to look real hard to find a photo of him that didnt have a car in it

These days Chuck Jr lives in Conesus His work-a-day job takes him around the nation building shopping malls He still enjoys aviation having bought his first airplane in high school before he bought his first car During the 1980s and 1990s he was an aerobatic competitor He keeps an aerobatic bi-wing at the Perry Airport
Chuck Krueger Sr will be inducted into the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Drivers Walk of Fame on September 10
Fifty-seven drivers have preceded him in the honor with granite markers embedded in the sidewalks of downtown Watkins Glen Among them are some of the greatest legends of racing Dan Gurney Sir Jackie Stewart Lee Petty Mark Donohue Emerson Fittipaldi Brian Redman Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt Bobby Allison Graham Hill Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve
Membership is for the great drivers who have competed on the Glens world famous circuit over the last 56 years To be considered for the honor the driver must have driven a racecar in competition at one of the four racecourses used at The Glen over the past half century
In a walk throughout downtown Watkins Glen visitors encounter the names of these drivers in sidewalk markers that together create a virtual mural of the villages racing legacy Chuck Kruegers marker will now be among them
Solo Results and Points Updated Jake Massey
I have finally undertaken the daunting task of getting caught up on season points and results posting Please see the files section of the Yahoo Group and as always let me know if you find any errors
By way of explanation there are two points files available They first is flr2010 - 08_pointshtm and that shows all drivers who have competed in an FLR event this season The second is the picture as it would be if the season ended today It is called flr2010 - 08_yephtm and it shows only drivers who have competed in at least five local events up to this point If you dont show up there and you want to qualify for the season championship come to at least one of the remaining local events
I have gone through and updated the cone count for the season since we didnt have an official Cone KingQueen last year Just so everyone knows I did calculate the count for 2009 and Cory Kuhns ran away with it (67 cones 744 cones per event and a margin of victory of 21 cones over Marnie Soom) But this year is a different story
After event 8 Dean Wallace has a commanding lead at 45 cones with Jim Perrin Garrick Tischler Brandi Wilcox and Dan Kaufman all within possible striking distance Jim Perrin gets special notice for averaging 12 cones per FLR event If he shows up to another two events he could easily be our Cone King if Dean doesnt step up his game (or step down his game depending on your perspective) I see some scuffed Subaru bumpers in the very near future Good luck to everyone who is still in contention
Check the cone count pdf in httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles201020Results to see where you fall in the rankings Results and points standings can also be found on the website

RallyTom LangdonInterim RoadRally Chair
Rally Meeting NotesSeptember 14 201096 Church Street Victor NY
A small cadre of RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present
The following discussions are grouped by subject
NEDiv Mini-ConA RoadRally Safety Steward training
session is planned for the November 11-13 Mini-Con We have yet to name an instructor A RallyCross Safety Steward training session is also planned Scott Beliveau is being contacted to name an instructor for that class We will also hold a Rally town hall meeting
Spring Summer and Fall RalliesEvent 4 of the New York Shortline
RallyRoad Series ldquoAvon Geneseo and Mt Morris RallyRoadrdquo is scheduled for October 17 A flyer describing the event is in the October issue of Top End and on the website Entry fees are $5 for members $15 for non-members and $10 for non-members driving vintage cars Contact Rick Barnes for more information
The ldquoDiscover America Road Rallyrdquo hosted by Rallymasters of WNY is also scheduled for October 17 Further information on this event can be found at httpwwwrallywnycomrallywnycalendarhtm
The ldquoRoute of All Evilrdquo that Frank Beyer had scheduled for October 9 has been cancelled A number of the people Frank had hoped would run the event have conflicts
RallyCrossThe September 4 RallyCross event
at Perryrsquos Park had seven competitors making up to 20 runs Results were not received in time to be printed in the October issue of Top End
Winter Rally SeriesAdditional rallymasters are needed for
the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125
Trophies will be as last year Entry fees will be held at last yearrsquos level
The series will need to be scheduled around the January 29 Finger Lakes annual Awards Banquet
Miscellaneous Discussions The Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Rally
Party and Awards event will be held in December The December rally meeting will be held as discussion and planning will be needed for the Winter Rally Series
Rick showed a series of pictures taken Friday September 8 at Watkins Glen during the festivities for the SVRA gathering The large number of body designs mounted on Allards was noted There also were a large number of Alfa Romeos in attendance
Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)

The election of officers is just around the corner The secretary Carl Dresie will be mailing out ballots to all of the members within a few weeks Please take the time to either mail them back to Carl or bring them to the October meeting
I just got back from the Solo Nationals in Lincoln Nebraska There were a whole bunch of Finger Lakes members running there this year ndash 17 of us There were a lot of other people there as well we set a record with 1168 competitors All I can say is that I had a good time and appreciated all of the help received just as I was getting ready to make my second run After I got belted in for my second run I turned the key and got nothing no click nothing Popped the hood and I was informed that the battery hold down was not holding the battery down Jumped out of the car and told the grid worker that I was going to need a 10 minute mechanical when it got to be my turn to run There were a whole bunch of hands under the hood as we tried to reattach the bracket When it looked like we had it almost together Chris Bucknam told me to go ahead and get in the car and get belted in While there were still someone working on the battery Chris told me to start the car up (I was hoping there were no hands in the way of moving parts at this point) I made my second run and ended up going off course when the rear end took a quick hop that I couldnrsquot recover from Got back from that run and popped open the hood to find that the battery had come loose again This time we had more time and an additional nut and a well positioned strap (thanks Paul Quinn) made sure that the bracket wouldnrsquot come off again Now if only I could have just driven a little faster
One week before the Fun One we are experiencing one of the largest entries we have seen in some years We currently have over 375 entries and Irsquom sure we will gain some more and possibly loose some this is a bit more than we had anticipated We are having the pig roast on the track and I know we will have a good party ndash thanks to Elizabeth Thiel who was able to talk the track into allowing us to continue to have our much anticipated party
Sometimes I seem to spend most of my time thanking people for the work they do during the year The toughest job of as Regional Executive is getting people to step forward and help out I have been blessed by a group of people who continue to step forward and hopefully it will continue next year
So until next monthhellipMike

Chuck Krueger inducted into Walk of FameLynn Randall
Several Finger Lakes members traveled to Franklin Street in Watkins Glen to attend the induction of long time FLR member Chuck Krueger into the Walk of Fame Chuck who passed away in December 2009 will be remembered by a granite marker in front of the Watkins Glen post office Bill Bell Syl Barlow Bob Henderson Gary Morgan Gene Dinkel Bill Bradshaw and Bob Swinehart went to the Vintage Festival to honor Chuckrsquos induction International Motor Sports Research Library Historian Bill Green made remarks at the steps of the courthouse as did J C Argetsinger president of the Motor Sports Library also spoke JC is also the son of the founder of racing at Watkins Glen Cameron Argetsinger
Chuck Kruegerrsquos son Chuck Jr shared a few memorable anecdotes about his Dad ldquoWe were track bratsrdquo he said We never took a vacation but spent every weekend at the racetrack ldquo Chuck Sr won the 1962 Northeast Division G Modified championship and second over all the same year in the Glen Classic driving and Elva Mark V ldquoMy Dad would help all the competitorsrdquo Chuck Jr saidrdquo Sometimes he would postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the trackrdquo
Finger Lakes member Gary Morgan also spoke at the dedication ldquo Many of us drivers in the sixties and seventies hung around Chuckrsquos garage at Teeds Corners in Leicester NY getting help and just bench racing ldquo Gary then recounted a trip that he and Chuck took to Lime Rock to a

race a new Camarordquo It had overheating problems and we never turned a wheel on the track but we had a great timerdquo
Chuck would be proud to be in good company on the Walk of Fame He was the 57th driver to be honored joining the ranks of such racing greats as Gilles Villenuve Mark Donohue and Jackie Stewart as well as our own Finger Lakes members Gary Morgan and Bob Henderson Next time you are visiting Watkins Glen make it a point to stop by Franklin Street and take a look for these markers remembering that these people stand for competition sportsmanship and camaraderie

Remembering Chuck KruegerHoward Appell howardlivingstonnewscom
(Originally printed in the Livingston County News 122 Main Street Geneseo NY 14454)
Chuck Krueger used to have a repair garage at Teeds Corners where Peoria Road crosses Route 36 between Wadsworh and Leicester
He sold Jeeps and Volvos under the banner European Sales amp Service Chuck sold out in 1970 and got into the construction business but in the years prior to that time the garage was a place for the local racing crowd to meet and swap stories
The guys from Rochester would come down and my father would work on their cars recalls Chuck Jr who was a youngster at that time It was the Friday night hangout for that crowd In the winter theyd still come down and do the table racing
My brother Wes and I grew up as track brats Chuck Jr relates The character he observed among the club racers presented a role model of competitiveness tempered with camaraderie
They all went out of their way to help each other Sometimes my father would
postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the track
Those guys were really competitive but it wasnt the cutthroat competitiveness of today Everyone was having a good time
Chuck Jr remembers a racing partnership of his father Car amp Driver columnist Brock Yates of Castile Caledonia druggist Lloyd Kennison and a couple of other racers The group bought a Formula Junior Open Wheel model with an 850 cc engine They would draw straws to determine who would drive but it was soon evident that Krueger was the most skilled among them Chuck Sr eventually bought out his partners and became the sole driver
Chucks friendship with Brock Yates resulted in Car amp Driver road test vehicles ending up at the garage Getting picked up from sports practice on Friday nights at York school Chuck Jr might find himself riding in a Ferrari Mercedes or any number of exotic sports models which had been loaned to Yates for a magazine road test
Chuck Sr raced at Watkins Glen the Dayton 24 Hour Briar N H Thomson Conn and a number of other northeastern circuit tracks Included among his accolades was a 1963 Northeastern Division Championship
The primary phase of Krueger Srs racing career extended from his first race at age 22 at Watkins Glen in 1955 on through 1970 Then in the 1990s he made a comeback It started with a local chapter Sports Car Club of America reunion race in 1985 at Watkins Glen that both Chuck Sr and Chuck Jr attended I always meant to race but instead had got involved in airplanes and aerobatics Chuck Jr tells But the smell and feel of the track on that day made him realize he needed to race as well Later that summer he took the necessary classes for racing certification bought a racer and appointed his father and brother as members of his pit crew
It didnt take long for Chuck Jr to convince his father to renew his own racing license Although Chuck Sr had never driven the newer design vehicles with slick tires and modern suspension at driver school he took to them naturally and immediately and was soon racing with his son They would swap the car One race Id run and hed be pit crew the next hed run and Id be
pit crew Chuck Jr reports
One day Chuck Jr told his father he couldnt drive the car anymore knowing perfectly well what he would do Buy his own It was a car identical to his sons excepting only for the color of the roll bar Both were Swift DB2s with two liter rear engine motors
For three years I got to race against my father We did all the local tracks in the northeast Chuck Jr recalls with pleasure I spent a ton of money doing it but being together with my father and having those memories was worth every penny
Krueger Jr and Sr raced through the 1993 season before health issues i n f l uenced Chuck S r t o r e t i r e He was still fast -- and he didnt treat me any differently than the next guy Chuck Jr recollects If I didnt have the corner made hed cut me off like anybody else
Father and son both amassed a large collection of trophies during those years silver and pewter plates and cups from an era when trophies were real trophies and usually accompanied by a bottle of champagne -- not todays table trinkets
We never got any real money for it Club racing is something you do for the fun Chuck Jr advises However the club circuit could be a stepping-stone to the Junior Pro Series and maybe for a few the Indy series or NASCAR
But Chuck Jr explains the reality Ninety-eight percent of the guys have a lot of dreams -- and theyre playing them out and having a lot of fun doing it For the most part everyone there goes to help someone else out as much as hes going for himself
You race on the weekend and spend most of your spare time during the week getting ready to go again After his father retired Chuck Jr raced two more years before retiring h i m s e l f a f t e r t h e 1 9 9 5 s e a s o n Chuck Sr passed away on Christmas evening of 2009
Chuck Jr appreciates that his father was blessed to have had that passion in his life When you get right down to it there was nothing my father liked better than to get in a car and race he reflects At the funeral parlor you had to look real hard to find a photo of him that didnt have a car in it

I got it from him Neither dad or me could have fun unless we were burning fossil fuel
These days Chuck Jr lives in Conesus His work-a-day job takes him around the nation building shopping malls He still enjoys aviation having bought his first airplane in high school before he bought his first car During the 1980s and 1990s he was an aerobatic competitor He keeps an aerobatic bi-wing at the Perry Airport
Chuck Krueger Sr will be inducted into the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Drivers Walk of Fame on September 10
Fifty-seven drivers have preceded him in the honor with granite markers embedded in the sidewalks of downtown Watkins Glen Among them are some of the greatest legends of racing Dan Gurney Sir Jackie Stewart Lee Petty Mark Donohue Emerson Fittipaldi Brian Redman Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt Bobby Allison Graham Hill Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve
Membership is for the great drivers who have competed on the Glens world famous circuit over the last 56 years To be considered for the honor the driver must have driven a racecar in competition at one of the four racecourses used at The Glen over the past half century
In a walk throughout downtown Watkins Glen visitors encounter the names of these drivers in sidewalk markers that together create a virtual mural of the villages racing legacy Chuck Kruegers marker will now be among them
Solo Results and Points Updated Jake Massey
I have finally undertaken the daunting task of getting caught up on season points and results posting Please see the files section of the Yahoo Group and as always let me know if you find any errors
By way of explanation there are two points files available They first is flr2010 - 08_pointshtm and that shows all drivers who have competed in an FLR event this season The second is the picture as it would be if the season ended today It is called flr2010 - 08_yephtm and it shows only drivers who have competed in at least five local events up to this point If you dont show up there and you want to qualify for the season championship come to at least one of the remaining local events
I have gone through and updated the cone count for the season since we didnt have an official Cone KingQueen last year Just so everyone knows I did calculate the count for 2009 and Cory Kuhns ran away with it (67 cones 744 cones per event and a margin of victory of 21 cones over Marnie Soom) But this year is a different story
After event 8 Dean Wallace has a commanding lead at 45 cones with Jim Perrin Garrick Tischler Brandi Wilcox and Dan Kaufman all within possible striking distance Jim Perrin gets special notice for averaging 12 cones per FLR event If he shows up to another two events he could easily be our Cone King if Dean doesnt step up his game (or step down his game depending on your perspective) I see some scuffed Subaru bumpers in the very near future Good luck to everyone who is still in contention

Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored

The election of officers is just around the corner The secretary Carl Dresie will be mailing out ballots to all of the members within a few weeks Please take the time to either mail them back to Carl or bring them to the October meeting
I just got back from the Solo Nationals in Lincoln Nebraska There were a whole bunch of Finger Lakes members running there this year ndash 17 of us There were a lot of other people there as well we set a record with 1168 competitors All I can say is that I had a good time and appreciated all of the help received just as I was getting ready to make my second run After I got belted in for my second run I turned the key and got nothing no click nothing Popped the hood and I was informed that the battery hold down was not holding the battery down Jumped out of the car and told the grid worker that I was going to need a 10 minute mechanical when it got to be my turn to run There were a whole bunch of hands under the hood as we tried to reattach the bracket When it looked like we had it almost together Chris Bucknam told me to go ahead and get in the car and get belted in While there were still someone working on the battery Chris told me to start the car up (I was hoping there were no hands in the way of moving parts at this point) I made my second run and ended up going off course when the rear end took a quick hop that I couldnrsquot recover from Got back from that run and popped open the hood to find that the battery had come loose again This time we had more time and an additional nut and a well positioned strap (thanks Paul Quinn) made sure that the bracket wouldnrsquot come off again Now if only I could have just driven a little faster
One week before the Fun One we are experiencing one of the largest entries we have seen in some years We currently have over 375 entries and Irsquom sure we will gain some more and possibly loose some this is a bit more than we had anticipated We are having the pig roast on the track and I know we will have a good party ndash thanks to Elizabeth Thiel who was able to talk the track into allowing us to continue to have our much anticipated party
Sometimes I seem to spend most of my time thanking people for the work they do during the year The toughest job of as Regional Executive is getting people to step forward and help out I have been blessed by a group of people who continue to step forward and hopefully it will continue next year
So until next monthhellipMike

Chuck Krueger inducted into Walk of FameLynn Randall
Several Finger Lakes members traveled to Franklin Street in Watkins Glen to attend the induction of long time FLR member Chuck Krueger into the Walk of Fame Chuck who passed away in December 2009 will be remembered by a granite marker in front of the Watkins Glen post office Bill Bell Syl Barlow Bob Henderson Gary Morgan Gene Dinkel Bill Bradshaw and Bob Swinehart went to the Vintage Festival to honor Chuckrsquos induction International Motor Sports Research Library Historian Bill Green made remarks at the steps of the courthouse as did J C Argetsinger president of the Motor Sports Library also spoke JC is also the son of the founder of racing at Watkins Glen Cameron Argetsinger
Chuck Kruegerrsquos son Chuck Jr shared a few memorable anecdotes about his Dad ldquoWe were track bratsrdquo he said We never took a vacation but spent every weekend at the racetrack ldquo Chuck Sr won the 1962 Northeast Division G Modified championship and second over all the same year in the Glen Classic driving and Elva Mark V ldquoMy Dad would help all the competitorsrdquo Chuck Jr saidrdquo Sometimes he would postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the trackrdquo
Finger Lakes member Gary Morgan also spoke at the dedication ldquo Many of us drivers in the sixties and seventies hung around Chuckrsquos garage at Teeds Corners in Leicester NY getting help and just bench racing ldquo Gary then recounted a trip that he and Chuck took to Lime Rock to a
92010 September
race a new Camarordquo It had overheating problems and we never turned a wheel on the track but we had a great timerdquo
Chuck would be proud to be in good company on the Walk of Fame He was the 57th driver to be honored joining the ranks of such racing greats as Gilles Villenuve Mark Donohue and Jackie Stewart as well as our own Finger Lakes members Gary Morgan and Bob Henderson Next time you are visiting Watkins Glen make it a point to stop by Franklin Street and take a look for these markers remembering that these people stand for competition sportsmanship and camaraderie

Remembering Chuck KruegerHoward Appell howardlivingstonnewscom
(Originally printed in the Livingston County News 122 Main Street Geneseo NY 14454)
Chuck Krueger used to have a repair garage at Teeds Corners where Peoria Road crosses Route 36 between Wadsworh and Leicester
He sold Jeeps and Volvos under the banner European Sales amp Service Chuck sold out in 1970 and got into the construction business but in the years prior to that time the garage was a place for the local racing crowd to meet and swap stories
The guys from Rochester would come down and my father would work on their cars recalls Chuck Jr who was a youngster at that time It was the Friday night hangout for that crowd In the winter theyd still come down and do the table racing
My brother Wes and I grew up as track brats Chuck Jr relates The character he observed among the club racers presented a role model of competitiveness tempered with camaraderie
They all went out of their way to help each other Sometimes my father would
postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the track
Those guys were really competitive but it wasnt the cutthroat competitiveness of today Everyone was having a good time
Chuck Jr remembers a racing partnership of his father Car amp Driver columnist Brock Yates of Castile Caledonia druggist Lloyd Kennison and a couple of other racers The group bought a Formula Junior Open Wheel model with an 850 cc engine They would draw straws to determine who would drive but it was soon evident that Krueger was the most skilled among them Chuck Sr eventually bought out his partners and became the sole driver
Chucks friendship with Brock Yates resulted in Car amp Driver road test vehicles ending up at the garage Getting picked up from sports practice on Friday nights at York school Chuck Jr might find himself riding in a Ferrari Mercedes or any number of exotic sports models which had been loaned to Yates for a magazine road test
Chuck Sr raced at Watkins Glen the Dayton 24 Hour Briar N H Thomson Conn and a number of other northeastern circuit tracks Included among his accolades was a 1963 Northeastern Division Championship
The primary phase of Krueger Srs racing career extended from his first race at age 22 at Watkins Glen in 1955 on through 1970 Then in the 1990s he made a comeback It started with a local chapter Sports Car Club of America reunion race in 1985 at Watkins Glen that both Chuck Sr and Chuck Jr attended I always meant to race but instead had got involved in airplanes and aerobatics Chuck Jr tells But the smell and feel of the track on that day made him realize he needed to race as well Later that summer he took the necessary classes for racing certification bought a racer and appointed his father and brother as members of his pit crew
It didnt take long for Chuck Jr to convince his father to renew his own racing license Although Chuck Sr had never driven the newer design vehicles with slick tires and modern suspension at driver school he took to them naturally and immediately and was soon racing with his son They would swap the car One race Id run and hed be pit crew the next hed run and Id be
pit crew Chuck Jr reports
One day Chuck Jr told his father he couldnt drive the car anymore knowing perfectly well what he would do Buy his own It was a car identical to his sons excepting only for the color of the roll bar Both were Swift DB2s with two liter rear engine motors
For three years I got to race against my father We did all the local tracks in the northeast Chuck Jr recalls with pleasure I spent a ton of money doing it but being together with my father and having those memories was worth every penny
Krueger Jr and Sr raced through the 1993 season before health issues i n f l uenced Chuck S r t o r e t i r e He was still fast -- and he didnt treat me any differently than the next guy Chuck Jr recollects If I didnt have the corner made hed cut me off like anybody else
Father and son both amassed a large collection of trophies during those years silver and pewter plates and cups from an era when trophies were real trophies and usually accompanied by a bottle of champagne -- not todays table trinkets
We never got any real money for it Club racing is something you do for the fun Chuck Jr advises However the club circuit could be a stepping-stone to the Junior Pro Series and maybe for a few the Indy series or NASCAR
But Chuck Jr explains the reality Ninety-eight percent of the guys have a lot of dreams -- and theyre playing them out and having a lot of fun doing it For the most part everyone there goes to help someone else out as much as hes going for himself
You race on the weekend and spend most of your spare time during the week getting ready to go again After his father retired Chuck Jr raced two more years before retiring h i m s e l f a f t e r t h e 1 9 9 5 s e a s o n Chuck Sr passed away on Christmas evening of 2009
Chuck Jr appreciates that his father was blessed to have had that passion in his life When you get right down to it there was nothing my father liked better than to get in a car and race he reflects At the funeral parlor you had to look real hard to find a photo of him that didnt have a car in it

I got it from him Neither dad or me could have fun unless we were burning fossil fuel
These days Chuck Jr lives in Conesus His work-a-day job takes him around the nation building shopping malls He still enjoys aviation having bought his first airplane in high school before he bought his first car During the 1980s and 1990s he was an aerobatic competitor He keeps an aerobatic bi-wing at the Perry Airport
Chuck Krueger Sr will be inducted into the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Drivers Walk of Fame on September 10
Fifty-seven drivers have preceded him in the honor with granite markers embedded in the sidewalks of downtown Watkins Glen Among them are some of the greatest legends of racing Dan Gurney Sir Jackie Stewart Lee Petty Mark Donohue Emerson Fittipaldi Brian Redman Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt Bobby Allison Graham Hill Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve
Membership is for the great drivers who have competed on the Glens world famous circuit over the last 56 years To be considered for the honor the driver must have driven a racecar in competition at one of the four racecourses used at The Glen over the past half century
In a walk throughout downtown Watkins Glen visitors encounter the names of these drivers in sidewalk markers that together create a virtual mural of the villages racing legacy Chuck Kruegers marker will now be among them
Solo Results and Points Updated Jake Massey
I have finally undertaken the daunting task of getting caught up on season points and results posting Please see the files section of the Yahoo Group and as always let me know if you find any errors
By way of explanation there are two points files available They first is flr2010 - 08_pointshtm and that shows all drivers who have competed in an FLR event this season The second is the picture as it would be if the season ended today It is called flr2010 - 08_yephtm and it shows only drivers who have competed in at least five local events up to this point If you dont show up there and you want to qualify for the season championship come to at least one of the remaining local events
I have gone through and updated the cone count for the season since we didnt have an official Cone KingQueen last year Just so everyone knows I did calculate the count for 2009 and Cory Kuhns ran away with it (67 cones 744 cones per event and a margin of victory of 21 cones over Marnie Soom) But this year is a different story
After event 8 Dean Wallace has a commanding lead at 45 cones with Jim Perrin Garrick Tischler Brandi Wilcox and Dan Kaufman all within possible striking distance Jim Perrin gets special notice for averaging 12 cones per FLR event If he shows up to another two events he could easily be our Cone King if Dean doesnt step up his game (or step down his game depending on your perspective) I see some scuffed Subaru bumpers in the very near future Good luck to everyone who is still in contention
Check the cone count pdf in httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles201020Results to see where you fall in the rankings Results and points standings can also be found on the website

The ldquoDiscover America Road Rallyrdquo hosted by Rallymasters of WNY is also scheduled for October 17 Further information on this event can be found at httpwwwrallywnycomrallywnycalendarhtm
The ldquoRoute of All Evilrdquo that Frank Beyer had scheduled for October 9 has been cancelled A number of the people Frank had hoped would run the event have conflicts
RallyCrossThe September 4 RallyCross event
at Perryrsquos Park had seven competitors making up to 20 runs Results were not received in time to be printed in the October issue of Top End
Winter Rally SeriesAdditional rallymasters are needed for
the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125

The series will need to be scheduled around the January 29 Finger Lakes annual Awards Banquet

Rick showed a series of pictures taken Friday September 8 at Watkins Glen during the festivities for the SVRA gathering The large number of body designs mounted on Allards was noted There also were a large number of Alfa Romeos in attendance
Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)

The election of officers is just around the corner The secretary Carl Dresie will be mailing out ballots to all of the members within a few weeks Please take the time to either mail them back to Carl or bring them to the October meeting
I just got back from the Solo Nationals in Lincoln Nebraska There were a whole bunch of Finger Lakes members running there this year ndash 17 of us There were a lot of other people there as well we set a record with 1168 competitors All I can say is that I had a good time and appreciated all of the help received just as I was getting ready to make my second run After I got belted in for my second run I turned the key and got nothing no click nothing Popped the hood and I was informed that the battery hold down was not holding the battery down Jumped out of the car and told the grid worker that I was going to need a 10 minute mechanical when it got to be my turn to run There were a whole bunch of hands under the hood as we tried to reattach the bracket When it looked like we had it almost together Chris Bucknam told me to go ahead and get in the car and get belted in While there were still someone working on the battery Chris told me to start the car up (I was hoping there were no hands in the way of moving parts at this point) I made my second run and ended up going off course when the rear end took a quick hop that I couldnrsquot recover from Got back from that run and popped open the hood to find that the battery had come loose again This time we had more time and an additional nut and a well positioned strap (thanks Paul Quinn) made sure that the bracket wouldnrsquot come off again Now if only I could have just driven a little faster
One week before the Fun One we are experiencing one of the largest entries we have seen in some years We currently have over 375 entries and Irsquom sure we will gain some more and possibly loose some this is a bit more than we had anticipated We are having the pig roast on the track and I know we will have a good party ndash thanks to Elizabeth Thiel who was able to talk the track into allowing us to continue to have our much anticipated party
Sometimes I seem to spend most of my time thanking people for the work they do during the year The toughest job of as Regional Executive is getting people to step forward and help out I have been blessed by a group of people who continue to step forward and hopefully it will continue next year
So until next monthhellipMike

Chuck Krueger inducted into Walk of FameLynn Randall
Several Finger Lakes members traveled to Franklin Street in Watkins Glen to attend the induction of long time FLR member Chuck Krueger into the Walk of Fame Chuck who passed away in December 2009 will be remembered by a granite marker in front of the Watkins Glen post office Bill Bell Syl Barlow Bob Henderson Gary Morgan Gene Dinkel Bill Bradshaw and Bob Swinehart went to the Vintage Festival to honor Chuckrsquos induction International Motor Sports Research Library Historian Bill Green made remarks at the steps of the courthouse as did J C Argetsinger president of the Motor Sports Library also spoke JC is also the son of the founder of racing at Watkins Glen Cameron Argetsinger
Chuck Kruegerrsquos son Chuck Jr shared a few memorable anecdotes about his Dad ldquoWe were track bratsrdquo he said We never took a vacation but spent every weekend at the racetrack ldquo Chuck Sr won the 1962 Northeast Division G Modified championship and second over all the same year in the Glen Classic driving and Elva Mark V ldquoMy Dad would help all the competitorsrdquo Chuck Jr saidrdquo Sometimes he would postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the trackrdquo
Finger Lakes member Gary Morgan also spoke at the dedication ldquo Many of us drivers in the sixties and seventies hung around Chuckrsquos garage at Teeds Corners in Leicester NY getting help and just bench racing ldquo Gary then recounted a trip that he and Chuck took to Lime Rock to a
92010 September
race a new Camarordquo It had overheating problems and we never turned a wheel on the track but we had a great timerdquo
Chuck would be proud to be in good company on the Walk of Fame He was the 57th driver to be honored joining the ranks of such racing greats as Gilles Villenuve Mark Donohue and Jackie Stewart as well as our own Finger Lakes members Gary Morgan and Bob Henderson Next time you are visiting Watkins Glen make it a point to stop by Franklin Street and take a look for these markers remembering that these people stand for competition sportsmanship and camaraderie

Remembering Chuck KruegerHoward Appell howardlivingstonnewscom
(Originally printed in the Livingston County News 122 Main Street Geneseo NY 14454)
Chuck Krueger used to have a repair garage at Teeds Corners where Peoria Road crosses Route 36 between Wadsworh and Leicester
He sold Jeeps and Volvos under the banner European Sales amp Service Chuck sold out in 1970 and got into the construction business but in the years prior to that time the garage was a place for the local racing crowd to meet and swap stories
The guys from Rochester would come down and my father would work on their cars recalls Chuck Jr who was a youngster at that time It was the Friday night hangout for that crowd In the winter theyd still come down and do the table racing
My brother Wes and I grew up as track brats Chuck Jr relates The character he observed among the club racers presented a role model of competitiveness tempered with camaraderie
They all went out of their way to help each other Sometimes my father would
postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the track
Those guys were really competitive but it wasnt the cutthroat competitiveness of today Everyone was having a good time
Chuck Jr remembers a racing partnership of his father Car amp Driver columnist Brock Yates of Castile Caledonia druggist Lloyd Kennison and a couple of other racers The group bought a Formula Junior Open Wheel model with an 850 cc engine They would draw straws to determine who would drive but it was soon evident that Krueger was the most skilled among them Chuck Sr eventually bought out his partners and became the sole driver
Chucks friendship with Brock Yates resulted in Car amp Driver road test vehicles ending up at the garage Getting picked up from sports practice on Friday nights at York school Chuck Jr might find himself riding in a Ferrari Mercedes or any number of exotic sports models which had been loaned to Yates for a magazine road test
Chuck Sr raced at Watkins Glen the Dayton 24 Hour Briar N H Thomson Conn and a number of other northeastern circuit tracks Included among his accolades was a 1963 Northeastern Division Championship
The primary phase of Krueger Srs racing career extended from his first race at age 22 at Watkins Glen in 1955 on through 1970 Then in the 1990s he made a comeback It started with a local chapter Sports Car Club of America reunion race in 1985 at Watkins Glen that both Chuck Sr and Chuck Jr attended I always meant to race but instead had got involved in airplanes and aerobatics Chuck Jr tells But the smell and feel of the track on that day made him realize he needed to race as well Later that summer he took the necessary classes for racing certification bought a racer and appointed his father and brother as members of his pit crew
It didnt take long for Chuck Jr to convince his father to renew his own racing license Although Chuck Sr had never driven the newer design vehicles with slick tires and modern suspension at driver school he took to them naturally and immediately and was soon racing with his son They would swap the car One race Id run and hed be pit crew the next hed run and Id be
pit crew Chuck Jr reports
One day Chuck Jr told his father he couldnt drive the car anymore knowing perfectly well what he would do Buy his own It was a car identical to his sons excepting only for the color of the roll bar Both were Swift DB2s with two liter rear engine motors
For three years I got to race against my father We did all the local tracks in the northeast Chuck Jr recalls with pleasure I spent a ton of money doing it but being together with my father and having those memories was worth every penny
Krueger Jr and Sr raced through the 1993 season before health issues i n f l uenced Chuck S r t o r e t i r e He was still fast -- and he didnt treat me any differently than the next guy Chuck Jr recollects If I didnt have the corner made hed cut me off like anybody else
Father and son both amassed a large collection of trophies during those years silver and pewter plates and cups from an era when trophies were real trophies and usually accompanied by a bottle of champagne -- not todays table trinkets
We never got any real money for it Club racing is something you do for the fun Chuck Jr advises However the club circuit could be a stepping-stone to the Junior Pro Series and maybe for a few the Indy series or NASCAR
But Chuck Jr explains the reality Ninety-eight percent of the guys have a lot of dreams -- and theyre playing them out and having a lot of fun doing it For the most part everyone there goes to help someone else out as much as hes going for himself
You race on the weekend and spend most of your spare time during the week getting ready to go again After his father retired Chuck Jr raced two more years before retiring h i m s e l f a f t e r t h e 1 9 9 5 s e a s o n Chuck Sr passed away on Christmas evening of 2009
Chuck Jr appreciates that his father was blessed to have had that passion in his life When you get right down to it there was nothing my father liked better than to get in a car and race he reflects At the funeral parlor you had to look real hard to find a photo of him that didnt have a car in it

I got it from him Neither dad or me could have fun unless we were burning fossil fuel
These days Chuck Jr lives in Conesus His work-a-day job takes him around the nation building shopping malls He still enjoys aviation having bought his first airplane in high school before he bought his first car During the 1980s and 1990s he was an aerobatic competitor He keeps an aerobatic bi-wing at the Perry Airport
Chuck Krueger Sr will be inducted into the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Drivers Walk of Fame on September 10
Fifty-seven drivers have preceded him in the honor with granite markers embedded in the sidewalks of downtown Watkins Glen Among them are some of the greatest legends of racing Dan Gurney Sir Jackie Stewart Lee Petty Mark Donohue Emerson Fittipaldi Brian Redman Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt Bobby Allison Graham Hill Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve
Membership is for the great drivers who have competed on the Glens world famous circuit over the last 56 years To be considered for the honor the driver must have driven a racecar in competition at one of the four racecourses used at The Glen over the past half century
In a walk throughout downtown Watkins Glen visitors encounter the names of these drivers in sidewalk markers that together create a virtual mural of the villages racing legacy Chuck Kruegers marker will now be among them
Solo Results and Points Updated Jake Massey
I have finally undertaken the daunting task of getting caught up on season points and results posting Please see the files section of the Yahoo Group and as always let me know if you find any errors
By way of explanation there are two points files available They first is flr2010 - 08_pointshtm and that shows all drivers who have competed in an FLR event this season The second is the picture as it would be if the season ended today It is called flr2010 - 08_yephtm and it shows only drivers who have competed in at least five local events up to this point If you dont show up there and you want to qualify for the season championship come to at least one of the remaining local events
I have gone through and updated the cone count for the season since we didnt have an official Cone KingQueen last year Just so everyone knows I did calculate the count for 2009 and Cory Kuhns ran away with it (67 cones 744 cones per event and a margin of victory of 21 cones over Marnie Soom) But this year is a different story
After event 8 Dean Wallace has a commanding lead at 45 cones with Jim Perrin Garrick Tischler Brandi Wilcox and Dan Kaufman all within possible striking distance Jim Perrin gets special notice for averaging 12 cones per FLR event If he shows up to another two events he could easily be our Cone King if Dean doesnt step up his game (or step down his game depending on your perspective) I see some scuffed Subaru bumpers in the very near future Good luck to everyone who is still in contention
Check the cone count pdf in httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles201020Results to see where you fall in the rankings Results and points standings can also be found on the website

RallyCrossThe September 4 RallyCross event
at Perryrsquos Park had seven competitors making up to 20 runs Results were not received in time to be printed in the October issue of Top End
Winter Rally SeriesAdditional rallymasters are needed for
the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125

Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)

Chuck Kruegerrsquos son Chuck Jr shared a few memorable anecdotes about his Dad ldquoWe were track bratsrdquo he said We never took a vacation but spent every weekend at the racetrack ldquo Chuck Sr won the 1962 Northeast Division G Modified championship and second over all the same year in the Glen Classic driving and Elva Mark V ldquoMy Dad would help all the competitorsrdquo Chuck Jr saidrdquo Sometimes he would postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the trackrdquo
Finger Lakes member Gary Morgan also spoke at the dedication ldquo Many of us drivers in the sixties and seventies hung around Chuckrsquos garage at Teeds Corners in Leicester NY getting help and just bench racing ldquo Gary then recounted a trip that he and Chuck took to Lime Rock to a

race a new Camarordquo It had overheating problems and we never turned a wheel on the track but we had a great timerdquo
Chuck would be proud to be in good company on the Walk of Fame He was the 57th driver to be honored joining the ranks of such racing greats as Gilles Villenuve Mark Donohue and Jackie Stewart as well as our own Finger Lakes members Gary Morgan and Bob Henderson Next time you are visiting Watkins Glen make it a point to stop by Franklin Street and take a look for these markers remembering that these people stand for competition sportsmanship and camaraderie

Remembering Chuck KruegerHoward Appell howardlivingstonnewscom
(Originally printed in the Livingston County News 122 Main Street Geneseo NY 14454)
Chuck Krueger used to have a repair garage at Teeds Corners where Peoria Road crosses Route 36 between Wadsworh and Leicester
He sold Jeeps and Volvos under the banner European Sales amp Service Chuck sold out in 1970 and got into the construction business but in the years prior to that time the garage was a place for the local racing crowd to meet and swap stories
The guys from Rochester would come down and my father would work on their cars recalls Chuck Jr who was a youngster at that time It was the Friday night hangout for that crowd In the winter theyd still come down and do the table racing
My brother Wes and I grew up as track brats Chuck Jr relates The character he observed among the club racers presented a role model of competitiveness tempered with camaraderie
They all went out of their way to help each other Sometimes my father would
postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the track
Those guys were really competitive but it wasnt the cutthroat competitiveness of today Everyone was having a good time
Chuck Jr remembers a racing partnership of his father Car amp Driver columnist Brock Yates of Castile Caledonia druggist Lloyd Kennison and a couple of other racers The group bought a Formula Junior Open Wheel model with an 850 cc engine They would draw straws to determine who would drive but it was soon evident that Krueger was the most skilled among them Chuck Sr eventually bought out his partners and became the sole driver
Chucks friendship with Brock Yates resulted in Car amp Driver road test vehicles ending up at the garage Getting picked up from sports practice on Friday nights at York school Chuck Jr might find himself riding in a Ferrari Mercedes or any number of exotic sports models which had been loaned to Yates for a magazine road test
Chuck Sr raced at Watkins Glen the Dayton 24 Hour Briar N H Thomson Conn and a number of other northeastern circuit tracks Included among his accolades was a 1963 Northeastern Division Championship
The primary phase of Krueger Srs racing career extended from his first race at age 22 at Watkins Glen in 1955 on through 1970 Then in the 1990s he made a comeback It started with a local chapter Sports Car Club of America reunion race in 1985 at Watkins Glen that both Chuck Sr and Chuck Jr attended I always meant to race but instead had got involved in airplanes and aerobatics Chuck Jr tells But the smell and feel of the track on that day made him realize he needed to race as well Later that summer he took the necessary classes for racing certification bought a racer and appointed his father and brother as members of his pit crew
It didnt take long for Chuck Jr to convince his father to renew his own racing license Although Chuck Sr had never driven the newer design vehicles with slick tires and modern suspension at driver school he took to them naturally and immediately and was soon racing with his son They would swap the car One race Id run and hed be pit crew the next hed run and Id be
pit crew Chuck Jr reports
One day Chuck Jr told his father he couldnt drive the car anymore knowing perfectly well what he would do Buy his own It was a car identical to his sons excepting only for the color of the roll bar Both were Swift DB2s with two liter rear engine motors
For three years I got to race against my father We did all the local tracks in the northeast Chuck Jr recalls with pleasure I spent a ton of money doing it but being together with my father and having those memories was worth every penny
Krueger Jr and Sr raced through the 1993 season before health issues i n f l uenced Chuck S r t o r e t i r e He was still fast -- and he didnt treat me any differently than the next guy Chuck Jr recollects If I didnt have the corner made hed cut me off like anybody else
Father and son both amassed a large collection of trophies during those years silver and pewter plates and cups from an era when trophies were real trophies and usually accompanied by a bottle of champagne -- not todays table trinkets
We never got any real money for it Club racing is something you do for the fun Chuck Jr advises However the club circuit could be a stepping-stone to the Junior Pro Series and maybe for a few the Indy series or NASCAR
But Chuck Jr explains the reality Ninety-eight percent of the guys have a lot of dreams -- and theyre playing them out and having a lot of fun doing it For the most part everyone there goes to help someone else out as much as hes going for himself
You race on the weekend and spend most of your spare time during the week getting ready to go again After his father retired Chuck Jr raced two more years before retiring h i m s e l f a f t e r t h e 1 9 9 5 s e a s o n Chuck Sr passed away on Christmas evening of 2009
Chuck Jr appreciates that his father was blessed to have had that passion in his life When you get right down to it there was nothing my father liked better than to get in a car and race he reflects At the funeral parlor you had to look real hard to find a photo of him that didnt have a car in it

I got it from him Neither dad or me could have fun unless we were burning fossil fuel
These days Chuck Jr lives in Conesus His work-a-day job takes him around the nation building shopping malls He still enjoys aviation having bought his first airplane in high school before he bought his first car During the 1980s and 1990s he was an aerobatic competitor He keeps an aerobatic bi-wing at the Perry Airport
Chuck Krueger Sr will be inducted into the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Drivers Walk of Fame on September 10
Fifty-seven drivers have preceded him in the honor with granite markers embedded in the sidewalks of downtown Watkins Glen Among them are some of the greatest legends of racing Dan Gurney Sir Jackie Stewart Lee Petty Mark Donohue Emerson Fittipaldi Brian Redman Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt Bobby Allison Graham Hill Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve
Membership is for the great drivers who have competed on the Glens world famous circuit over the last 56 years To be considered for the honor the driver must have driven a racecar in competition at one of the four racecourses used at The Glen over the past half century
In a walk throughout downtown Watkins Glen visitors encounter the names of these drivers in sidewalk markers that together create a virtual mural of the villages racing legacy Chuck Kruegers marker will now be among them
Solo Results and Points Updated Jake Massey
I have finally undertaken the daunting task of getting caught up on season points and results posting Please see the files section of the Yahoo Group and as always let me know if you find any errors
By way of explanation there are two points files available They first is flr2010 - 08_pointshtm and that shows all drivers who have competed in an FLR event this season The second is the picture as it would be if the season ended today It is called flr2010 - 08_yephtm and it shows only drivers who have competed in at least five local events up to this point If you dont show up there and you want to qualify for the season championship come to at least one of the remaining local events
I have gone through and updated the cone count for the season since we didnt have an official Cone KingQueen last year Just so everyone knows I did calculate the count for 2009 and Cory Kuhns ran away with it (67 cones 744 cones per event and a margin of victory of 21 cones over Marnie Soom) But this year is a different story
After event 8 Dean Wallace has a commanding lead at 45 cones with Jim Perrin Garrick Tischler Brandi Wilcox and Dan Kaufman all within possible striking distance Jim Perrin gets special notice for averaging 12 cones per FLR event If he shows up to another two events he could easily be our Cone King if Dean doesnt step up his game (or step down his game depending on your perspective) I see some scuffed Subaru bumpers in the very near future Good luck to everyone who is still in contention
Check the cone count pdf in httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles201020Results to see where you fall in the rankings Results and points standings can also be found on the website

Rally Meeting NotesSeptember 14 201096 Church Street Victor NY
A small cadre of RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present
The following discussions are grouped by subject
NEDiv Mini-ConA RoadRally Safety Steward training

Spring Summer and Fall RalliesEvent 4 of the New York Shortline
RallyRoad Series ldquoAvon Geneseo and Mt Morris RallyRoadrdquo is scheduled for October 17 A flyer describing the event is in the October issue of Top End and on the website Entry fees are $5 for members $15 for non-members and $10 for non-members driving vintage cars Contact Rick Barnes for more information
The ldquoDiscover America Road Rallyrdquo hosted by Rallymasters of WNY is also scheduled for October 17 Further information on this event can be found at httpwwwrallywnycomrallywnycalendarhtm
The ldquoRoute of All Evilrdquo that Frank Beyer had scheduled for October 9 has been cancelled A number of the people Frank had hoped would run the event have conflicts
RallyCrossThe September 4 RallyCross event
at Perryrsquos Park had seven competitors making up to 20 runs Results were not received in time to be printed in the October issue of Top End
Winter Rally SeriesAdditional rallymasters are needed for
the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125
Trophies will be as last year Entry fees will be held at last yearrsquos level
The series will need to be scheduled around the January 29 Finger Lakes annual Awards Banquet

Party and Awards event will be held in December The December rally meeting will be held as discussion and planning will be needed for the Winter Rally Series
Rick showed a series of pictures taken Friday September 8 at Watkins Glen during the festivities for the SVRA gathering The large number of body designs mounted on Allards was noted There also were a large number of Alfa Romeos in attendance
Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)

Chuck Krueger inducted into Walk of FameLynn Randall
Several Finger Lakes members traveled to Franklin Street in Watkins Glen to attend the induction of long time FLR member Chuck Krueger into the Walk of Fame Chuck who passed away in December 2009 will be remembered by a granite marker in front of the Watkins Glen post office Bill Bell Syl Barlow Bob Henderson Gary Morgan Gene Dinkel Bill Bradshaw and Bob Swinehart went to the Vintage Festival to honor Chuckrsquos induction International Motor Sports Research Library Historian Bill Green made remarks at the steps of the courthouse as did J C Argetsinger president of the Motor Sports Library also spoke JC is also the son of the founder of racing at Watkins Glen Cameron Argetsinger
Chuck Kruegerrsquos son Chuck Jr shared a few memorable anecdotes about his Dad ldquoWe were track bratsrdquo he said We never took a vacation but spent every weekend at the racetrack ldquo Chuck Sr won the 1962 Northeast Division G Modified championship and second over all the same year in the Glen Classic driving and Elva Mark V ldquoMy Dad would help all the competitorsrdquo Chuck Jr saidrdquo Sometimes he would postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the trackrdquo
Finger Lakes member Gary Morgan also spoke at the dedication ldquo Many of us drivers in the sixties and seventies hung around Chuckrsquos garage at Teeds Corners in Leicester NY getting help and just bench racing ldquo Gary then recounted a trip that he and Chuck took to Lime Rock to a
92010 September
race a new Camarordquo It had overheating problems and we never turned a wheel on the track but we had a great timerdquo
Chuck would be proud to be in good company on the Walk of Fame He was the 57th driver to be honored joining the ranks of such racing greats as Gilles Villenuve Mark Donohue and Jackie Stewart as well as our own Finger Lakes members Gary Morgan and Bob Henderson Next time you are visiting Watkins Glen make it a point to stop by Franklin Street and take a look for these markers remembering that these people stand for competition sportsmanship and camaraderie

Remembering Chuck KruegerHoward Appell howardlivingstonnewscom
(Originally printed in the Livingston County News 122 Main Street Geneseo NY 14454)
Chuck Krueger used to have a repair garage at Teeds Corners where Peoria Road crosses Route 36 between Wadsworh and Leicester
He sold Jeeps and Volvos under the banner European Sales amp Service Chuck sold out in 1970 and got into the construction business but in the years prior to that time the garage was a place for the local racing crowd to meet and swap stories
The guys from Rochester would come down and my father would work on their cars recalls Chuck Jr who was a youngster at that time It was the Friday night hangout for that crowd In the winter theyd still come down and do the table racing
My brother Wes and I grew up as track brats Chuck Jr relates The character he observed among the club racers presented a role model of competitiveness tempered with camaraderie
They all went out of their way to help each other Sometimes my father would
postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the track
Those guys were really competitive but it wasnt the cutthroat competitiveness of today Everyone was having a good time
Chuck Jr remembers a racing partnership of his father Car amp Driver columnist Brock Yates of Castile Caledonia druggist Lloyd Kennison and a couple of other racers The group bought a Formula Junior Open Wheel model with an 850 cc engine They would draw straws to determine who would drive but it was soon evident that Krueger was the most skilled among them Chuck Sr eventually bought out his partners and became the sole driver
Chucks friendship with Brock Yates resulted in Car amp Driver road test vehicles ending up at the garage Getting picked up from sports practice on Friday nights at York school Chuck Jr might find himself riding in a Ferrari Mercedes or any number of exotic sports models which had been loaned to Yates for a magazine road test
Chuck Sr raced at Watkins Glen the Dayton 24 Hour Briar N H Thomson Conn and a number of other northeastern circuit tracks Included among his accolades was a 1963 Northeastern Division Championship
The primary phase of Krueger Srs racing career extended from his first race at age 22 at Watkins Glen in 1955 on through 1970 Then in the 1990s he made a comeback It started with a local chapter Sports Car Club of America reunion race in 1985 at Watkins Glen that both Chuck Sr and Chuck Jr attended I always meant to race but instead had got involved in airplanes and aerobatics Chuck Jr tells But the smell and feel of the track on that day made him realize he needed to race as well Later that summer he took the necessary classes for racing certification bought a racer and appointed his father and brother as members of his pit crew
It didnt take long for Chuck Jr to convince his father to renew his own racing license Although Chuck Sr had never driven the newer design vehicles with slick tires and modern suspension at driver school he took to them naturally and immediately and was soon racing with his son They would swap the car One race Id run and hed be pit crew the next hed run and Id be
pit crew Chuck Jr reports
One day Chuck Jr told his father he couldnt drive the car anymore knowing perfectly well what he would do Buy his own It was a car identical to his sons excepting only for the color of the roll bar Both were Swift DB2s with two liter rear engine motors
For three years I got to race against my father We did all the local tracks in the northeast Chuck Jr recalls with pleasure I spent a ton of money doing it but being together with my father and having those memories was worth every penny
Krueger Jr and Sr raced through the 1993 season before health issues i n f l uenced Chuck S r t o r e t i r e He was still fast -- and he didnt treat me any differently than the next guy Chuck Jr recollects If I didnt have the corner made hed cut me off like anybody else
Father and son both amassed a large collection of trophies during those years silver and pewter plates and cups from an era when trophies were real trophies and usually accompanied by a bottle of champagne -- not todays table trinkets
We never got any real money for it Club racing is something you do for the fun Chuck Jr advises However the club circuit could be a stepping-stone to the Junior Pro Series and maybe for a few the Indy series or NASCAR
But Chuck Jr explains the reality Ninety-eight percent of the guys have a lot of dreams -- and theyre playing them out and having a lot of fun doing it For the most part everyone there goes to help someone else out as much as hes going for himself
You race on the weekend and spend most of your spare time during the week getting ready to go again After his father retired Chuck Jr raced two more years before retiring h i m s e l f a f t e r t h e 1 9 9 5 s e a s o n Chuck Sr passed away on Christmas evening of 2009
Chuck Jr appreciates that his father was blessed to have had that passion in his life When you get right down to it there was nothing my father liked better than to get in a car and race he reflects At the funeral parlor you had to look real hard to find a photo of him that didnt have a car in it

I got it from him Neither dad or me could have fun unless we were burning fossil fuel
These days Chuck Jr lives in Conesus His work-a-day job takes him around the nation building shopping malls He still enjoys aviation having bought his first airplane in high school before he bought his first car During the 1980s and 1990s he was an aerobatic competitor He keeps an aerobatic bi-wing at the Perry Airport
Chuck Krueger Sr will be inducted into the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Drivers Walk of Fame on September 10
Fifty-seven drivers have preceded him in the honor with granite markers embedded in the sidewalks of downtown Watkins Glen Among them are some of the greatest legends of racing Dan Gurney Sir Jackie Stewart Lee Petty Mark Donohue Emerson Fittipaldi Brian Redman Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt Bobby Allison Graham Hill Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve
Membership is for the great drivers who have competed on the Glens world famous circuit over the last 56 years To be considered for the honor the driver must have driven a racecar in competition at one of the four racecourses used at The Glen over the past half century
In a walk throughout downtown Watkins Glen visitors encounter the names of these drivers in sidewalk markers that together create a virtual mural of the villages racing legacy Chuck Kruegers marker will now be among them
Solo Results and Points Updated Jake Massey
I have finally undertaken the daunting task of getting caught up on season points and results posting Please see the files section of the Yahoo Group and as always let me know if you find any errors
By way of explanation there are two points files available They first is flr2010 - 08_pointshtm and that shows all drivers who have competed in an FLR event this season The second is the picture as it would be if the season ended today It is called flr2010 - 08_yephtm and it shows only drivers who have competed in at least five local events up to this point If you dont show up there and you want to qualify for the season championship come to at least one of the remaining local events
I have gone through and updated the cone count for the season since we didnt have an official Cone KingQueen last year Just so everyone knows I did calculate the count for 2009 and Cory Kuhns ran away with it (67 cones 744 cones per event and a margin of victory of 21 cones over Marnie Soom) But this year is a different story
After event 8 Dean Wallace has a commanding lead at 45 cones with Jim Perrin Garrick Tischler Brandi Wilcox and Dan Kaufman all within possible striking distance Jim Perrin gets special notice for averaging 12 cones per FLR event If he shows up to another two events he could easily be our Cone King if Dean doesnt step up his game (or step down his game depending on your perspective) I see some scuffed Subaru bumpers in the very near future Good luck to everyone who is still in contention
Check the cone count pdf in httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles201020Results to see where you fall in the rankings Results and points standings can also be found on the website

the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125

Rick showed a series of pictures taken Friday September 8 at Watkins Glen during the festivities for the SVRA gathering The large number of body designs mounted on Allards was noted There also were a large number of Alfa Romeos in attendance
Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)

Chuck Krueger inducted into Walk of FameLynn Randall
Several Finger Lakes members traveled to Franklin Street in Watkins Glen to attend the induction of long time FLR member Chuck Krueger into the Walk of Fame Chuck who passed away in December 2009 will be remembered by a granite marker in front of the Watkins Glen post office Bill Bell Syl Barlow Bob Henderson Gary Morgan Gene Dinkel Bill Bradshaw and Bob Swinehart went to the Vintage Festival to honor Chuckrsquos induction International Motor Sports Research Library Historian Bill Green made remarks at the steps of the courthouse as did J C Argetsinger president of the Motor Sports Library also spoke JC is also the son of the founder of racing at Watkins Glen Cameron Argetsinger
Chuck Kruegerrsquos son Chuck Jr shared a few memorable anecdotes about his Dad ldquoWe were track bratsrdquo he said We never took a vacation but spent every weekend at the racetrack ldquo Chuck Sr won the 1962 Northeast Division G Modified championship and second over all the same year in the Glen Classic driving and Elva Mark V ldquoMy Dad would help all the competitorsrdquo Chuck Jr saidrdquo Sometimes he would postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the trackrdquo
Finger Lakes member Gary Morgan also spoke at the dedication ldquo Many of us drivers in the sixties and seventies hung around Chuckrsquos garage at Teeds Corners in Leicester NY getting help and just bench racing ldquo Gary then recounted a trip that he and Chuck took to Lime Rock to a
92010 September
race a new Camarordquo It had overheating problems and we never turned a wheel on the track but we had a great timerdquo
Chuck would be proud to be in good company on the Walk of Fame He was the 57th driver to be honored joining the ranks of such racing greats as Gilles Villenuve Mark Donohue and Jackie Stewart as well as our own Finger Lakes members Gary Morgan and Bob Henderson Next time you are visiting Watkins Glen make it a point to stop by Franklin Street and take a look for these markers remembering that these people stand for competition sportsmanship and camaraderie

Remembering Chuck KruegerHoward Appell howardlivingstonnewscom
(Originally printed in the Livingston County News 122 Main Street Geneseo NY 14454)
Chuck Krueger used to have a repair garage at Teeds Corners where Peoria Road crosses Route 36 between Wadsworh and Leicester
He sold Jeeps and Volvos under the banner European Sales amp Service Chuck sold out in 1970 and got into the construction business but in the years prior to that time the garage was a place for the local racing crowd to meet and swap stories
The guys from Rochester would come down and my father would work on their cars recalls Chuck Jr who was a youngster at that time It was the Friday night hangout for that crowd In the winter theyd still come down and do the table racing
My brother Wes and I grew up as track brats Chuck Jr relates The character he observed among the club racers presented a role model of competitiveness tempered with camaraderie
They all went out of their way to help each other Sometimes my father would
postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the track
Those guys were really competitive but it wasnt the cutthroat competitiveness of today Everyone was having a good time
Chuck Jr remembers a racing partnership of his father Car amp Driver columnist Brock Yates of Castile Caledonia druggist Lloyd Kennison and a couple of other racers The group bought a Formula Junior Open Wheel model with an 850 cc engine They would draw straws to determine who would drive but it was soon evident that Krueger was the most skilled among them Chuck Sr eventually bought out his partners and became the sole driver
Chucks friendship with Brock Yates resulted in Car amp Driver road test vehicles ending up at the garage Getting picked up from sports practice on Friday nights at York school Chuck Jr might find himself riding in a Ferrari Mercedes or any number of exotic sports models which had been loaned to Yates for a magazine road test
Chuck Sr raced at Watkins Glen the Dayton 24 Hour Briar N H Thomson Conn and a number of other northeastern circuit tracks Included among his accolades was a 1963 Northeastern Division Championship
The primary phase of Krueger Srs racing career extended from his first race at age 22 at Watkins Glen in 1955 on through 1970 Then in the 1990s he made a comeback It started with a local chapter Sports Car Club of America reunion race in 1985 at Watkins Glen that both Chuck Sr and Chuck Jr attended I always meant to race but instead had got involved in airplanes and aerobatics Chuck Jr tells But the smell and feel of the track on that day made him realize he needed to race as well Later that summer he took the necessary classes for racing certification bought a racer and appointed his father and brother as members of his pit crew
It didnt take long for Chuck Jr to convince his father to renew his own racing license Although Chuck Sr had never driven the newer design vehicles with slick tires and modern suspension at driver school he took to them naturally and immediately and was soon racing with his son They would swap the car One race Id run and hed be pit crew the next hed run and Id be
pit crew Chuck Jr reports
One day Chuck Jr told his father he couldnt drive the car anymore knowing perfectly well what he would do Buy his own It was a car identical to his sons excepting only for the color of the roll bar Both were Swift DB2s with two liter rear engine motors
For three years I got to race against my father We did all the local tracks in the northeast Chuck Jr recalls with pleasure I spent a ton of money doing it but being together with my father and having those memories was worth every penny
Krueger Jr and Sr raced through the 1993 season before health issues i n f l uenced Chuck S r t o r e t i r e He was still fast -- and he didnt treat me any differently than the next guy Chuck Jr recollects If I didnt have the corner made hed cut me off like anybody else
Father and son both amassed a large collection of trophies during those years silver and pewter plates and cups from an era when trophies were real trophies and usually accompanied by a bottle of champagne -- not todays table trinkets
We never got any real money for it Club racing is something you do for the fun Chuck Jr advises However the club circuit could be a stepping-stone to the Junior Pro Series and maybe for a few the Indy series or NASCAR
But Chuck Jr explains the reality Ninety-eight percent of the guys have a lot of dreams -- and theyre playing them out and having a lot of fun doing it For the most part everyone there goes to help someone else out as much as hes going for himself
You race on the weekend and spend most of your spare time during the week getting ready to go again After his father retired Chuck Jr raced two more years before retiring h i m s e l f a f t e r t h e 1 9 9 5 s e a s o n Chuck Sr passed away on Christmas evening of 2009
Chuck Jr appreciates that his father was blessed to have had that passion in his life When you get right down to it there was nothing my father liked better than to get in a car and race he reflects At the funeral parlor you had to look real hard to find a photo of him that didnt have a car in it

I got it from him Neither dad or me could have fun unless we were burning fossil fuel
These days Chuck Jr lives in Conesus His work-a-day job takes him around the nation building shopping malls He still enjoys aviation having bought his first airplane in high school before he bought his first car During the 1980s and 1990s he was an aerobatic competitor He keeps an aerobatic bi-wing at the Perry Airport
Chuck Krueger Sr will be inducted into the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Drivers Walk of Fame on September 10
Fifty-seven drivers have preceded him in the honor with granite markers embedded in the sidewalks of downtown Watkins Glen Among them are some of the greatest legends of racing Dan Gurney Sir Jackie Stewart Lee Petty Mark Donohue Emerson Fittipaldi Brian Redman Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt Bobby Allison Graham Hill Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve
Membership is for the great drivers who have competed on the Glens world famous circuit over the last 56 years To be considered for the honor the driver must have driven a racecar in competition at one of the four racecourses used at The Glen over the past half century
In a walk throughout downtown Watkins Glen visitors encounter the names of these drivers in sidewalk markers that together create a virtual mural of the villages racing legacy Chuck Kruegers marker will now be among them
Solo Results and Points Updated Jake Massey
I have finally undertaken the daunting task of getting caught up on season points and results posting Please see the files section of the Yahoo Group and as always let me know if you find any errors
By way of explanation there are two points files available They first is flr2010 - 08_pointshtm and that shows all drivers who have competed in an FLR event this season The second is the picture as it would be if the season ended today It is called flr2010 - 08_yephtm and it shows only drivers who have competed in at least five local events up to this point If you dont show up there and you want to qualify for the season championship come to at least one of the remaining local events
I have gone through and updated the cone count for the season since we didnt have an official Cone KingQueen last year Just so everyone knows I did calculate the count for 2009 and Cory Kuhns ran away with it (67 cones 744 cones per event and a margin of victory of 21 cones over Marnie Soom) But this year is a different story
After event 8 Dean Wallace has a commanding lead at 45 cones with Jim Perrin Garrick Tischler Brandi Wilcox and Dan Kaufman all within possible striking distance Jim Perrin gets special notice for averaging 12 cones per FLR event If he shows up to another two events he could easily be our Cone King if Dean doesnt step up his game (or step down his game depending on your perspective) I see some scuffed Subaru bumpers in the very near future Good luck to everyone who is still in contention
Check the cone count pdf in httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles201020Results to see where you fall in the rankings Results and points standings can also be found on the website

Chuck Krueger inducted into Walk of FameLynn Randall
Several Finger Lakes members traveled to Franklin Street in Watkins Glen to attend the induction of long time FLR member Chuck Krueger into the Walk of Fame Chuck who passed away in December 2009 will be remembered by a granite marker in front of the Watkins Glen post office Bill Bell Syl Barlow Bob Henderson Gary Morgan Gene Dinkel Bill Bradshaw and Bob Swinehart went to the Vintage Festival to honor Chuckrsquos induction International Motor Sports Research Library Historian Bill Green made remarks at the steps of the courthouse as did J C Argetsinger president of the Motor Sports Library also spoke JC is also the son of the founder of racing at Watkins Glen Cameron Argetsinger
Chuck Kruegerrsquos son Chuck Jr shared a few memorable anecdotes about his Dad ldquoWe were track bratsrdquo he said We never took a vacation but spent every weekend at the racetrack ldquo Chuck Sr won the 1962 Northeast Division G Modified championship and second over all the same year in the Glen Classic driving and Elva Mark V ldquoMy Dad would help all the competitorsrdquo Chuck Jr saidrdquo Sometimes he would postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the trackrdquo
Finger Lakes member Gary Morgan also spoke at the dedication ldquo Many of us drivers in the sixties and seventies hung around Chuckrsquos garage at Teeds Corners in Leicester NY getting help and just bench racing ldquo Gary then recounted a trip that he and Chuck took to Lime Rock to a
92010 September
race a new Camarordquo It had overheating problems and we never turned a wheel on the track but we had a great timerdquo
Chuck would be proud to be in good company on the Walk of Fame He was the 57th driver to be honored joining the ranks of such racing greats as Gilles Villenuve Mark Donohue and Jackie Stewart as well as our own Finger Lakes members Gary Morgan and Bob Henderson Next time you are visiting Watkins Glen make it a point to stop by Franklin Street and take a look for these markers remembering that these people stand for competition sportsmanship and camaraderie

Remembering Chuck KruegerHoward Appell howardlivingstonnewscom
(Originally printed in the Livingston County News 122 Main Street Geneseo NY 14454)
Chuck Krueger used to have a repair garage at Teeds Corners where Peoria Road crosses Route 36 between Wadsworh and Leicester
He sold Jeeps and Volvos under the banner European Sales amp Service Chuck sold out in 1970 and got into the construction business but in the years prior to that time the garage was a place for the local racing crowd to meet and swap stories
The guys from Rochester would come down and my father would work on their cars recalls Chuck Jr who was a youngster at that time It was the Friday night hangout for that crowd In the winter theyd still come down and do the table racing
My brother Wes and I grew up as track brats Chuck Jr relates The character he observed among the club racers presented a role model of competitiveness tempered with camaraderie
They all went out of their way to help each other Sometimes my father would
postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the track
Those guys were really competitive but it wasnt the cutthroat competitiveness of today Everyone was having a good time
Chuck Jr remembers a racing partnership of his father Car amp Driver columnist Brock Yates of Castile Caledonia druggist Lloyd Kennison and a couple of other racers The group bought a Formula Junior Open Wheel model with an 850 cc engine They would draw straws to determine who would drive but it was soon evident that Krueger was the most skilled among them Chuck Sr eventually bought out his partners and became the sole driver
Chucks friendship with Brock Yates resulted in Car amp Driver road test vehicles ending up at the garage Getting picked up from sports practice on Friday nights at York school Chuck Jr might find himself riding in a Ferrari Mercedes or any number of exotic sports models which had been loaned to Yates for a magazine road test
Chuck Sr raced at Watkins Glen the Dayton 24 Hour Briar N H Thomson Conn and a number of other northeastern circuit tracks Included among his accolades was a 1963 Northeastern Division Championship
The primary phase of Krueger Srs racing career extended from his first race at age 22 at Watkins Glen in 1955 on through 1970 Then in the 1990s he made a comeback It started with a local chapter Sports Car Club of America reunion race in 1985 at Watkins Glen that both Chuck Sr and Chuck Jr attended I always meant to race but instead had got involved in airplanes and aerobatics Chuck Jr tells But the smell and feel of the track on that day made him realize he needed to race as well Later that summer he took the necessary classes for racing certification bought a racer and appointed his father and brother as members of his pit crew
It didnt take long for Chuck Jr to convince his father to renew his own racing license Although Chuck Sr had never driven the newer design vehicles with slick tires and modern suspension at driver school he took to them naturally and immediately and was soon racing with his son They would swap the car One race Id run and hed be pit crew the next hed run and Id be
pit crew Chuck Jr reports
One day Chuck Jr told his father he couldnt drive the car anymore knowing perfectly well what he would do Buy his own It was a car identical to his sons excepting only for the color of the roll bar Both were Swift DB2s with two liter rear engine motors
For three years I got to race against my father We did all the local tracks in the northeast Chuck Jr recalls with pleasure I spent a ton of money doing it but being together with my father and having those memories was worth every penny
Krueger Jr and Sr raced through the 1993 season before health issues i n f l uenced Chuck S r t o r e t i r e He was still fast -- and he didnt treat me any differently than the next guy Chuck Jr recollects If I didnt have the corner made hed cut me off like anybody else
Father and son both amassed a large collection of trophies during those years silver and pewter plates and cups from an era when trophies were real trophies and usually accompanied by a bottle of champagne -- not todays table trinkets
We never got any real money for it Club racing is something you do for the fun Chuck Jr advises However the club circuit could be a stepping-stone to the Junior Pro Series and maybe for a few the Indy series or NASCAR
But Chuck Jr explains the reality Ninety-eight percent of the guys have a lot of dreams -- and theyre playing them out and having a lot of fun doing it For the most part everyone there goes to help someone else out as much as hes going for himself
You race on the weekend and spend most of your spare time during the week getting ready to go again After his father retired Chuck Jr raced two more years before retiring h i m s e l f a f t e r t h e 1 9 9 5 s e a s o n Chuck Sr passed away on Christmas evening of 2009
Chuck Jr appreciates that his father was blessed to have had that passion in his life When you get right down to it there was nothing my father liked better than to get in a car and race he reflects At the funeral parlor you had to look real hard to find a photo of him that didnt have a car in it

I got it from him Neither dad or me could have fun unless we were burning fossil fuel
These days Chuck Jr lives in Conesus His work-a-day job takes him around the nation building shopping malls He still enjoys aviation having bought his first airplane in high school before he bought his first car During the 1980s and 1990s he was an aerobatic competitor He keeps an aerobatic bi-wing at the Perry Airport
Chuck Krueger Sr will be inducted into the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Drivers Walk of Fame on September 10
Fifty-seven drivers have preceded him in the honor with granite markers embedded in the sidewalks of downtown Watkins Glen Among them are some of the greatest legends of racing Dan Gurney Sir Jackie Stewart Lee Petty Mark Donohue Emerson Fittipaldi Brian Redman Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt Bobby Allison Graham Hill Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve
Membership is for the great drivers who have competed on the Glens world famous circuit over the last 56 years To be considered for the honor the driver must have driven a racecar in competition at one of the four racecourses used at The Glen over the past half century
In a walk throughout downtown Watkins Glen visitors encounter the names of these drivers in sidewalk markers that together create a virtual mural of the villages racing legacy Chuck Kruegers marker will now be among them
Solo Results and Points Updated Jake Massey
I have finally undertaken the daunting task of getting caught up on season points and results posting Please see the files section of the Yahoo Group and as always let me know if you find any errors
By way of explanation there are two points files available They first is flr2010 - 08_pointshtm and that shows all drivers who have competed in an FLR event this season The second is the picture as it would be if the season ended today It is called flr2010 - 08_yephtm and it shows only drivers who have competed in at least five local events up to this point If you dont show up there and you want to qualify for the season championship come to at least one of the remaining local events
I have gone through and updated the cone count for the season since we didnt have an official Cone KingQueen last year Just so everyone knows I did calculate the count for 2009 and Cory Kuhns ran away with it (67 cones 744 cones per event and a margin of victory of 21 cones over Marnie Soom) But this year is a different story
After event 8 Dean Wallace has a commanding lead at 45 cones with Jim Perrin Garrick Tischler Brandi Wilcox and Dan Kaufman all within possible striking distance Jim Perrin gets special notice for averaging 12 cones per FLR event If he shows up to another two events he could easily be our Cone King if Dean doesnt step up his game (or step down his game depending on your perspective) I see some scuffed Subaru bumpers in the very near future Good luck to everyone who is still in contention
Check the cone count pdf in httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles201020Results to see where you fall in the rankings Results and points standings can also be found on the website

race a new Camarordquo It had overheating problems and we never turned a wheel on the track but we had a great timerdquo
Chuck would be proud to be in good company on the Walk of Fame He was the 57th driver to be honored joining the ranks of such racing greats as Gilles Villenuve Mark Donohue and Jackie Stewart as well as our own Finger Lakes members Gary Morgan and Bob Henderson Next time you are visiting Watkins Glen make it a point to stop by Franklin Street and take a look for these markers remembering that these people stand for competition sportsmanship and camaraderie

Remembering Chuck KruegerHoward Appell howardlivingstonnewscom
(Originally printed in the Livingston County News 122 Main Street Geneseo NY 14454)
Chuck Krueger used to have a repair garage at Teeds Corners where Peoria Road crosses Route 36 between Wadsworh and Leicester
He sold Jeeps and Volvos under the banner European Sales amp Service Chuck sold out in 1970 and got into the construction business but in the years prior to that time the garage was a place for the local racing crowd to meet and swap stories
The guys from Rochester would come down and my father would work on their cars recalls Chuck Jr who was a youngster at that time It was the Friday night hangout for that crowd In the winter theyd still come down and do the table racing
My brother Wes and I grew up as track brats Chuck Jr relates The character he observed among the club racers presented a role model of competitiveness tempered with camaraderie
They all went out of their way to help each other Sometimes my father would
postpone working on his own car to make sure another driver got to the track
Those guys were really competitive but it wasnt the cutthroat competitiveness of today Everyone was having a good time
Chuck Jr remembers a racing partnership of his father Car amp Driver columnist Brock Yates of Castile Caledonia druggist Lloyd Kennison and a couple of other racers The group bought a Formula Junior Open Wheel model with an 850 cc engine They would draw straws to determine who would drive but it was soon evident that Krueger was the most skilled among them Chuck Sr eventually bought out his partners and became the sole driver
Chucks friendship with Brock Yates resulted in Car amp Driver road test vehicles ending up at the garage Getting picked up from sports practice on Friday nights at York school Chuck Jr might find himself riding in a Ferrari Mercedes or any number of exotic sports models which had been loaned to Yates for a magazine road test
Chuck Sr raced at Watkins Glen the Dayton 24 Hour Briar N H Thomson Conn and a number of other northeastern circuit tracks Included among his accolades was a 1963 Northeastern Division Championship
The primary phase of Krueger Srs racing career extended from his first race at age 22 at Watkins Glen in 1955 on through 1970 Then in the 1990s he made a comeback It started with a local chapter Sports Car Club of America reunion race in 1985 at Watkins Glen that both Chuck Sr and Chuck Jr attended I always meant to race but instead had got involved in airplanes and aerobatics Chuck Jr tells But the smell and feel of the track on that day made him realize he needed to race as well Later that summer he took the necessary classes for racing certification bought a racer and appointed his father and brother as members of his pit crew
It didnt take long for Chuck Jr to convince his father to renew his own racing license Although Chuck Sr had never driven the newer design vehicles with slick tires and modern suspension at driver school he took to them naturally and immediately and was soon racing with his son They would swap the car One race Id run and hed be pit crew the next hed run and Id be
pit crew Chuck Jr reports
One day Chuck Jr told his father he couldnt drive the car anymore knowing perfectly well what he would do Buy his own It was a car identical to his sons excepting only for the color of the roll bar Both were Swift DB2s with two liter rear engine motors
For three years I got to race against my father We did all the local tracks in the northeast Chuck Jr recalls with pleasure I spent a ton of money doing it but being together with my father and having those memories was worth every penny
Krueger Jr and Sr raced through the 1993 season before health issues i n f l uenced Chuck S r t o r e t i r e He was still fast -- and he didnt treat me any differently than the next guy Chuck Jr recollects If I didnt have the corner made hed cut me off like anybody else
Father and son both amassed a large collection of trophies during those years silver and pewter plates and cups from an era when trophies were real trophies and usually accompanied by a bottle of champagne -- not todays table trinkets
We never got any real money for it Club racing is something you do for the fun Chuck Jr advises However the club circuit could be a stepping-stone to the Junior Pro Series and maybe for a few the Indy series or NASCAR
But Chuck Jr explains the reality Ninety-eight percent of the guys have a lot of dreams -- and theyre playing them out and having a lot of fun doing it For the most part everyone there goes to help someone else out as much as hes going for himself
You race on the weekend and spend most of your spare time during the week getting ready to go again After his father retired Chuck Jr raced two more years before retiring h i m s e l f a f t e r t h e 1 9 9 5 s e a s o n Chuck Sr passed away on Christmas evening of 2009
Chuck Jr appreciates that his father was blessed to have had that passion in his life When you get right down to it there was nothing my father liked better than to get in a car and race he reflects At the funeral parlor you had to look real hard to find a photo of him that didnt have a car in it

I got it from him Neither dad or me could have fun unless we were burning fossil fuel
These days Chuck Jr lives in Conesus His work-a-day job takes him around the nation building shopping malls He still enjoys aviation having bought his first airplane in high school before he bought his first car During the 1980s and 1990s he was an aerobatic competitor He keeps an aerobatic bi-wing at the Perry Airport
Chuck Krueger Sr will be inducted into the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Drivers Walk of Fame on September 10
Fifty-seven drivers have preceded him in the honor with granite markers embedded in the sidewalks of downtown Watkins Glen Among them are some of the greatest legends of racing Dan Gurney Sir Jackie Stewart Lee Petty Mark Donohue Emerson Fittipaldi Brian Redman Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt Bobby Allison Graham Hill Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve
Membership is for the great drivers who have competed on the Glens world famous circuit over the last 56 years To be considered for the honor the driver must have driven a racecar in competition at one of the four racecourses used at The Glen over the past half century
In a walk throughout downtown Watkins Glen visitors encounter the names of these drivers in sidewalk markers that together create a virtual mural of the villages racing legacy Chuck Kruegers marker will now be among them
Solo Results and Points Updated Jake Massey
I have finally undertaken the daunting task of getting caught up on season points and results posting Please see the files section of the Yahoo Group and as always let me know if you find any errors
By way of explanation there are two points files available They first is flr2010 - 08_pointshtm and that shows all drivers who have competed in an FLR event this season The second is the picture as it would be if the season ended today It is called flr2010 - 08_yephtm and it shows only drivers who have competed in at least five local events up to this point If you dont show up there and you want to qualify for the season championship come to at least one of the remaining local events
I have gone through and updated the cone count for the season since we didnt have an official Cone KingQueen last year Just so everyone knows I did calculate the count for 2009 and Cory Kuhns ran away with it (67 cones 744 cones per event and a margin of victory of 21 cones over Marnie Soom) But this year is a different story
After event 8 Dean Wallace has a commanding lead at 45 cones with Jim Perrin Garrick Tischler Brandi Wilcox and Dan Kaufman all within possible striking distance Jim Perrin gets special notice for averaging 12 cones per FLR event If he shows up to another two events he could easily be our Cone King if Dean doesnt step up his game (or step down his game depending on your perspective) I see some scuffed Subaru bumpers in the very near future Good luck to everyone who is still in contention
Check the cone count pdf in httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles201020Results to see where you fall in the rankings Results and points standings can also be found on the website

at Perryrsquos Park had seven competitors making up to 20 runs Results were not received in time to be printed in the October issue of Top End
Winter Rally SeriesAdditional rallymasters are needed for
the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125

Rick showed a series of pictures taken Friday September 8 at Watkins Glen during the festivities for the SVRA gathering The large number of body designs mounted on Allards was noted There also were a large number of Alfa Romeos in attendance
Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)

I got it from him Neither dad or me could have fun unless we were burning fossil fuel
These days Chuck Jr lives in Conesus His work-a-day job takes him around the nation building shopping malls He still enjoys aviation having bought his first airplane in high school before he bought his first car During the 1980s and 1990s he was an aerobatic competitor He keeps an aerobatic bi-wing at the Perry Airport
Chuck Krueger Sr will be inducted into the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Drivers Walk of Fame on September 10
Fifty-seven drivers have preceded him in the honor with granite markers embedded in the sidewalks of downtown Watkins Glen Among them are some of the greatest legends of racing Dan Gurney Sir Jackie Stewart Lee Petty Mark Donohue Emerson Fittipaldi Brian Redman Richard Petty Dale Earnhardt Bobby Allison Graham Hill Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve
Membership is for the great drivers who have competed on the Glens world famous circuit over the last 56 years To be considered for the honor the driver must have driven a racecar in competition at one of the four racecourses used at The Glen over the past half century
In a walk throughout downtown Watkins Glen visitors encounter the names of these drivers in sidewalk markers that together create a virtual mural of the villages racing legacy Chuck Kruegers marker will now be among them
Solo Results and Points Updated Jake Massey
I have finally undertaken the daunting task of getting caught up on season points and results posting Please see the files section of the Yahoo Group and as always let me know if you find any errors
By way of explanation there are two points files available They first is flr2010 - 08_pointshtm and that shows all drivers who have competed in an FLR event this season The second is the picture as it would be if the season ended today It is called flr2010 - 08_yephtm and it shows only drivers who have competed in at least five local events up to this point If you dont show up there and you want to qualify for the season championship come to at least one of the remaining local events
I have gone through and updated the cone count for the season since we didnt have an official Cone KingQueen last year Just so everyone knows I did calculate the count for 2009 and Cory Kuhns ran away with it (67 cones 744 cones per event and a margin of victory of 21 cones over Marnie Soom) But this year is a different story
After event 8 Dean Wallace has a commanding lead at 45 cones with Jim Perrin Garrick Tischler Brandi Wilcox and Dan Kaufman all within possible striking distance Jim Perrin gets special notice for averaging 12 cones per FLR event If he shows up to another two events he could easily be our Cone King if Dean doesnt step up his game (or step down his game depending on your perspective) I see some scuffed Subaru bumpers in the very near future Good luck to everyone who is still in contention
Check the cone count pdf in httpsportsgroupsyahoocomgroupflrsolofiles201020Results to see where you fall in the rankings Results and points standings can also be found on the website

Rally Meeting NotesSeptember 14 201096 Church Street Victor NY
A small cadre of RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present
The following discussions are grouped by subject

Spring Summer and Fall RalliesEvent 4 of the New York Shortline
RallyRoad Series ldquoAvon Geneseo and Mt Morris RallyRoadrdquo is scheduled for October 17 A flyer describing the event is in the October issue of Top End and on the website Entry fees are $5 for members $15 for non-members and $10 for non-members driving vintage cars Contact Rick Barnes for more information
The ldquoDiscover America Road Rallyrdquo hosted by Rallymasters of WNY is also scheduled for October 17 Further information on this event can be found at httpwwwrallywnycomrallywnycalendarhtm
The ldquoRoute of All Evilrdquo that Frank Beyer had scheduled for October 9 has been cancelled A number of the people Frank had hoped would run the event have conflicts
RallyCrossThe September 4 RallyCross event
at Perryrsquos Park had seven competitors making up to 20 runs Results were not received in time to be printed in the October issue of Top End
Winter Rally SeriesAdditional rallymasters are needed for
the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125
Trophies will be as last year Entry fees will be held at last yearrsquos level
The series will need to be scheduled around the January 29 Finger Lakes annual Awards Banquet

Rick showed a series of pictures taken Friday September 8 at Watkins Glen during the festivities for the SVRA gathering The large number of body designs mounted on Allards was noted There also were a large number of Alfa Romeos in attendance
Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)

ldquoBrian has been Chairman of SCCA Pro Racing since I came to Pro in 2007 but he was much more than the Chairman of Pro Racing to merdquo SCCA Pro Racing President and CEO Bob Wildberger said ldquoHe was a best friend to me to the company its people and the entire racing community Heaven
has gotten a truly great new resident todayrdquo
Holtz didnrsquot limit his involvement in SCCA to his official responsibilities with his enthusiasm spreading throughout the organization
ldquoBrian was on the Board when I first came to SCCA in 2004rdquo SCCA Inc President and CEO Jeff Dahnert said ldquoHe was a wealth of information and guidance from my first day here and ever since He was one of those guys that you naturally liked and respected even if you were on different sides of an issue You would be hard pressed to find someone that put more of their life and energy into the SCCA I will miss him greatlyrdquo
Brian is survived by his wife of 25 years Ellen and one son Joseph B Holtz and his wife Kimberly of Horsham Pa his mother Barbara (Stone) Holtz of Potomac Md and sisters Jane Holtz Cranska and her husband Allen of Glenwood Md and Karen Muttimer and her husband Paul of Ashburn Va

Rally Meeting NotesSeptember 14 201096 Church Street Victor NY
A small cadre of RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present
The following discussions are grouped by subject
NEDiv Mini-ConA RoadRally Safety Steward training
session is planned for the November 11-13 Mini-Con We have yet to name an instructor A RallyCross Safety Steward training session is also planned Scott Beliveau is being contacted to name an instructor for that class We will also hold a Rally town hall meeting
Spring Summer and Fall RalliesEvent 4 of the New York Shortline
RallyRoad Series ldquoAvon Geneseo and Mt Morris RallyRoadrdquo is scheduled for October 17 A flyer describing the event is in the October issue of Top End and on the website Entry fees are $5 for members $15 for non-members and $10 for non-members driving vintage cars Contact Rick Barnes for more information
The ldquoDiscover America Road Rallyrdquo hosted by Rallymasters of WNY is also scheduled for October 17 Further information on this event can be found at httpwwwrallywnycomrallywnycalendarhtm
The ldquoRoute of All Evilrdquo that Frank Beyer had scheduled for October 9 has been cancelled A number of the people Frank had hoped would run the event have conflicts
RallyCrossThe September 4 RallyCross event
at Perryrsquos Park had seven competitors making up to 20 runs Results were not received in time to be printed in the October issue of Top End
Winter Rally SeriesAdditional rallymasters are needed for
the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125
Trophies will be as last year Entry fees will be held at last yearrsquos level
The series will need to be scheduled around the January 29 Finger Lakes annual Awards Banquet
Miscellaneous Discussions The Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Rally
Party and Awards event will be held in December The December rally meeting will be held as discussion and planning will be needed for the Winter Rally Series
Rick showed a series of pictures taken Friday September 8 at Watkins Glen during the festivities for the SVRA gathering The large number of body designs mounted on Allards was noted There also were a large number of Alfa Romeos in attendance
Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)

at Perryrsquos Park had seven competitors making up to 20 runs Results were not received in time to be printed in the October issue of Top End
Winter Rally SeriesAdditional rallymasters are needed for
the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125

Rick showed a series of pictures taken Friday September 8 at Watkins Glen during the festivities for the SVRA gathering The large number of body designs mounted on Allards was noted There also were a large number of Alfa Romeos in attendance
Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)

Rally Meeting NotesSeptember 14 201096 Church Street Victor NY
A small cadre of RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present
The following discussions are grouped by subject

Spring Summer and Fall RalliesEvent 4 of the New York Shortline
RallyRoad Series ldquoAvon Geneseo and Mt Morris RallyRoadrdquo is scheduled for October 17 A flyer describing the event is in the October issue of Top End and on the website Entry fees are $5 for members $15 for non-members and $10 for non-members driving vintage cars Contact Rick Barnes for more information
The ldquoDiscover America Road Rallyrdquo hosted by Rallymasters of WNY is also scheduled for October 17 Further information on this event can be found at httpwwwrallywnycomrallywnycalendarhtm
The ldquoRoute of All Evilrdquo that Frank Beyer had scheduled for October 9 has been cancelled A number of the people Frank had hoped would run the event have conflicts
RallyCrossThe September 4 RallyCross event
at Perryrsquos Park had seven competitors making up to 20 runs Results were not received in time to be printed in the October issue of Top End
Winter Rally SeriesAdditional rallymasters are needed for
the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125
Trophies will be as last year Entry fees will be held at last yearrsquos level
The series will need to be scheduled around the January 29 Finger Lakes annual Awards Banquet

Party and Awards event will be held in December The December rally meeting will be held as discussion and planning will be needed for the Winter Rally Series
Rick showed a series of pictures taken Friday September 8 at Watkins Glen during the festivities for the SVRA gathering The large number of body designs mounted on Allards was noted There also were a large number of Alfa Romeos in attendance
Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)

Rally Meeting NotesSeptember 14 201096 Church Street Victor NY
A small cadre of RoadRally and RallyCross enthusiasts were present
The following discussions are grouped by subject
NEDiv Mini-ConA RoadRally Safety Steward training
session is planned for the November 11-13 Mini-Con We have yet to name an instructor A RallyCross Safety Steward training session is also planned Scott Beliveau is being contacted to name an instructor for that class We will also hold a Rally town hall meeting
Spring Summer and Fall RalliesEvent 4 of the New York Shortline
RallyRoad Series ldquoAvon Geneseo and Mt Morris RallyRoadrdquo is scheduled for October 17 A flyer describing the event is in the October issue of Top End and on the website Entry fees are $5 for members $15 for non-members and $10 for non-members driving vintage cars Contact Rick Barnes for more information
The ldquoDiscover America Road Rallyrdquo hosted by Rallymasters of WNY is also scheduled for October 17 Further information on this event can be found at httpwwwrallywnycomrallywnycalendarhtm
The ldquoRoute of All Evilrdquo that Frank Beyer had scheduled for October 9 has been cancelled A number of the people Frank had hoped would run the event have conflicts
RallyCrossThe September 4 RallyCross event
at Perryrsquos Park had seven competitors making up to 20 runs Results were not received in time to be printed in the October issue of Top End
Winter Rally SeriesAdditional rallymasters are needed for
the Winter Rally Series Jamie Hayslip and Scott Grinnell have expressed an interest in being co-rallymasters for one event John Werner needs to be contacted for a possible rally east of Rochester Also Marnie Soom and Corey Kuhns are about due to write another rally The proposed change in speed factors was accepted without dissention B speed factor will drop from 125 to 110 and the C speed factor from 150 to 125
Trophies will be as last year Entry fees will be held at last yearrsquos level
The series will need to be scheduled around the January 29 Finger Lakes annual Awards Banquet
Miscellaneous Discussions The Finger Lakes Regionrsquos Rally
Party and Awards event will be held in December The December rally meeting will be held as discussion and planning will be needed for the Winter Rally Series
Rick showed a series of pictures taken Friday September 8 at Watkins Glen during the festivities for the SVRA gathering The large number of body designs mounted on Allards was noted There also were a large number of Alfa Romeos in attendance
Vintage license plates can be registered as historic plates if the ldquonumberrdquo on the vintage plate is not in use The bluewhite plates can be used for a charge of $31
Many cookies and crackers along with salsa dip made it through the evening To much for too few The three-course lunch etc on the North Conway Scenic train ride helped make the ride up toward Mt Washington very enjoyable The spinach-artichoke dip served on the ride is very good
Mini has announced a four door-four wheel drive version That car will be the basis of a car to be prepared by Pro-Drive and run in the World Rally Championship A two-door version of the car is rumored
Some people admit to skipping the first few subjects of these notes and reading the miscellaneous discussions first (and sometimes only)
