Calling All
Lead-foots

The gauntlet is thrown down. Who is really the best (fastest) driver in the club? There have been several of us who have toured together, often at speeds that are, shall we say, vigorous. However, even the most brazen of us are always aware that we are on public roads and must consider the uncontrolled variables; we drive quickly, not dangerously. In recent years, only Jim Danielson has won any sanctioned driving awards, that when he won the autocross at the Kansas city all British. We all know how long it has been since that event was run.

It is time for all of us to stop with the bluster and determine, once and for all (or at least for this winter), who is fastest. Hence, for all who are interested, we are placing in consideration the date of Saturday, February 19, 2000 for the first of what we hope will become an annual event - The Flatwater AHC Indoor Grand Prix. If enough people are interested we will meet in Lincoln at the indoor go-cart facility. For a cost of $19.00 we will get 10 practice laps, one qualifying lap and a 30 lap race with either a LeMans start or a rolling start behind a pace car, our choice. If you are interested in such an event, and are willing to commit, call Bob Shaw (402) 435-4905 or events chair Fred Meier (402) 475-1302 before February 1 so we may schedule the event.

But be forewarned. Martha Johnson is bringing her brick.
