2008 Rules Posted  

Rules for Driver Education, Time Trials, and Autocross have been posted.

The most significant change is that the car classifications have changed so that the slower cars have car classes closer to the beginning of the alphabet and the faster cars have letters further down the alphabet. Please note that you will most likely be competing against the same cars you did last year.

Nord Stern's "Race For Courage 2007" netted Courage Center $15,500!!!  
Nord Stern's "Race For Courage 2007" netted Courage Center $15,500!!!

This is an outstanding number when you consider all the donations were made by Nord Stern members or friends and all the winning bids were by Nord Stern members or friends.

Special thanks go to Steve Beddor for donating use of the Quattro garage. To Mathew Hall lumber for sponsoring the raffle artwork. To Roger Johnson and our race sponsors who covered the tables expenses... Due to those people, we were able to give every single dollar we raised to Courage Center!

Thanks also to Emily Matzke from Courage Center and her husband Marcus for spending their weekend with our club. (Marcus is still grinning from the parade laps, Jon).

Thanks to Bruce Boeder for being our outstanding auctioneer. To Mary Grace Arndt, Rachael Rothman, Michelle Smith, and their friends for being runners and table watchers. My wife Susan for understanding all the evenings of me standing over the copier. Also, to Christie Boeder and Jon Beatty for handling parade laps, etc. Thanks to Roy, Lon, Phil, Mark, and the rest of the 356/944 crew for setting up and tearing down tables.

An incredible thanks to the 45 donors who donated the 132 items. You make that part of my job so easy, I ask, "would you?" and you say "absolutely!" (Don Bodin from the Vintage Club has already agreed to donate a couple Donnybrooke race school passes next year!)

Lastly, thanks to all the Nord Stern and VSCR bidders who made this weekend such a success!

Good weather, fast racing, and great people made this year's Club Race a success!

Thanks to all sponsors and volunteers who help make this an outstanding event. A special thanks goes to Roger Johnson for all the work he does to get this running so smoothly every year!
