6 From the R.E. When I started racing several years ago I was fulfi lling a lifelong fantasy. Like most of you, I had dreamed for a long time of getting involved in racing and being around exotic cars. I attended the several SCCA races, followed many types of racing on TV, occasionally traveled to an F1 or Indy car race, and of course was a regular at Portland’s own Champ Car event. It was fun but it was all vicarious. Strolling through the pits at an event, whether a local club race or a big time Champ Car event, participating seemed out of the question. The cars were exotic and of course expensive. The trailers and teams were large. Who knew how deep one’s pockets had to be to compete. But I never asked and just assumed it was out of reach. Also, no one asked me if I had any questions or if I would like to talk about the cars and what it took to participate. So for years I only dreamed of participating not believing it would ever happen. One evening I was playing tennis with Gary Manchester and we got into a discus- Dan Halloran, Regional Executive Email: dan.halloran@yahoo.com Participation isn’t Only a Dream sion of racing. Over time he invited me out, let me sit in his car, talked about what it would take to participate and of course I was hooked. I had found a friend who explained what our sport was all about. Suddenly what seemed only a fantasy became a reality. After participating for several years I discovered that there are lots of people in our club who are participating in ways that allow them to get up close and personal with a sport they love. People don’t have to just watch they can be the show and take an active role. The real secret, that Gary didn’t explain, was that I would make lots of new friends. More important was the discovery that those friendships and the camaraderie was an important aspect of my joy in participating. It was a great discovery that I try to share with everyone with whom I talk about the sport. It isn’t just the racing but the friendships that make out club special. Our sport, whether its club racing, SOLO, or Rally, needs volunteers. Of course the racers arrive but behind the scenes we have registration, corner workers, e crew, timing and scoring, pit and paddock, and the stewards. In Club Racing it takes about 80 people to put on an event and they are all volunteers. SOLO and Rally get their participants to do double duty but they still need volunteers. As a club we need to insure that we are actively recruiting new members and welcoming them to our events. Each one of us should make a point of bringing one new person each season to an event. There are lots of ways for people to participate. If you have any questions ask one of the members of the BOD and we would be pleased to fi nd an appropriate way for someone to participate. During the Rose Cup and Champ Car weekends we will have lots of new people with dreams and fantasies of participating. When you see someone stop and look at your car ask if they have any questions or would like to get closer to the car. Show people that this is a place to have fun. Answer their questions and engage them in a conversation. There are brochures available at registration that talk about how people can get involved. Grab a couple to have on hand and make a point of handing a few out. We all know what a great sport we have and how wonderful the people we play with are. Lets make that opportunity available to lots of new friends. Saturday, September 15, the City of Fairview is holding its annual Chili on the Green and Afterburner Classic Car Cruise- In. They have also asked is there are any SCCA members who would like to display their race cars at the event. If you are interested please contact Larry Cooper at 503- 674-6256 or chilionthegreen@ci.fairview. or.us. Further information is available at www.ci.fi arview.or.us. The sponsors are long time SCCA members and there is a rumor that volunteers will get a shot at some wonderful chili.
