A Proud Member of EESCC

All my life I have loved any and all motor vehicles from two to eighteen wheels. Since I was big enough to hold on I was on a motorcycle. I begged my dad to take me on a ride any chance I could get. As I got older I would go out on the road with my dad in his semi-truck. My love for automobiles really began when I met my husband. For the past 13 years we have enjoyed watching drag racing, playing in the sand with his Corvair sandrail or one of our quads to now enjoying autocross together. I’ve watched my friends drag race and was always hesitant to race myself because I am a girl.

When I learned about autocross and got to take a ride in a grey Prelude and a red Corvette, I was really excited to try it and not nervous about “what the guys would think.” My first autocross I was so excited, I could hardly contain myself. I watched people before me race and listened to the announcer and realized that everyone was here to have fun and really respected each other. After watching for a while, I was ready to go race! I had a blast! I was so proud of myself for getting out there (and not getting lost). It was time for my second run and as I was pulling up to the line the guy working in grid says to me “show them how it’s done!” I was really feeling confident at that point. I was impressed that a guy was cheering me on in a sport that is typically a “guy’s world”.

Each event I do not hesitate talking to fellow racers, sharing stories, and getting to know people. The more I’ve gotten to know people the more it has become clear that this is a very respectful and kind group of people. I feel that over the past 3 years I have gained some valuable friends through the EESCC. I encourage anyone, man or woman, to race with this club. The people in this club are a great group of people and really know how to have fun with this sport. I am proud to belong to a club with such great members. I look forward to many more years of racing with such great people!

Thank you EESCC members!

Better Late Than Never

WOW!! What a great time. The 2008 ACCO Invitational was awsome. The weather could have been better on Saturday morning, but none the less we made the best of it. There were 37 competitors from 5 different clubs as far as Astoria and Medford shooting for Top Dog on 4 different courses in 2 days. Lots of fun.

EESCC had a great crowd representing the club, 15 in all. Unfotunately Kevin didn't make it as I promised, he had school stuff to take care of. Some say I didn't want him to go because he might beat me in my own car.

I would like to thank Jerry Braunberger for hosting the meals, we ate very well. I would also like to thank Aaron Shelton, Phill Akins and Robert Steck who all offered me rides at the Invitational. I kinda bummed rides all weekend and finished 15th overall, not bad. Now all I want to drive is an STI, it was fun and a total hand full.

The Top Dog Award went to Jerry Jenkins from the Oregon Region SCCA. Quick Chick went to our very own Catherine Reid. Participation Award went to EESCC. Brad Moffett placed 3rd, Robert Steck 4th, Phill Akins 8th, Nathan Korstad 9th and Mike Baker rounds out the top 10 EESCC drivers.

Many thanks to ACCO on a great event and congratulations to Jerry Jenkins on his 3rd Invitational victory. I'm totally looking forward to the 2009 ACCO Invitational. Hope to see you there.
