the 2011 AX award winners. A full list of award
winners can be seen online in the February 2012
issue of Pandemonium, pages 21 & 22.
Christine and Chuck also presented Greg Lush,
the out-going AX Co-chair, an award in recognition
of his two years of service Co-chairing the AX events.
While we will miss Greg, he joins the expanding
ranks of Emeriti that include Steve Eguina, Jim
Harris, Bob Scheussler and James Buck.
Driving Instructor Co-Chiefs, brothers Rick and
Dennis Neff, presented the Instructor of the Year
Award. This year we were again lucky to have an
excellent group of Instructors, two of whom stood
out: George Pappagelis and Patricia Lynn Taylor.
Both of these Instructors received many compliments
from their students over the year, and provided untold
hours of in-car instruction to Club Members at every
event. Thank you and congratulations George and
Patricia Lynn!
The ‘hot-shoes’ were anxiously awaiting
the announcement of the Top Gun Award, which
recognizes the single driver with the highest score
for the season using the BRI (Bench Racing Index)
for each Autocross event. The award, presented by
Emeritus Steve Eguina, went to Carl Vanderschuit.
Congrats Carl!
