Hello Cincy Region SCCA members & friends!
 

Fall kicked in literally right on the nose for us this year with the temperature drop, hopefully no more 90+ degrees for 2023.  As you read this, our season is winding down with a few more region events to go.  The 2023 Solo Nationals are history and we have participants actively competing at the 2023 Runoffs at VIR.  I hope everyone had safe travels on the road wrapping up their events.

Our next Board meeting on October 17th at 7PM at the Shooter’s in Liberty Township.  We will have our regular meeting (on the 3rd Tuesday of the month) and at this time accept nominations from current region members interested in running for board. This will form our ballot that will be voted on at our November meeting (11/21/23).  If you are interested in learning more about the board positions, please look up a board member either at an event or thru the contacts listed on our website cincyscca.com.  You can also look up the responsibilities listed in our bylaws that are also published on our website.
 
Look forward to seeing some new faces at our October meeting on 10/17/2023 at the Shooter’s Bar & Grill in Liberty Township at 7pm. Full address and information are on our website as well. Enjoy the time as the leaves start changing this month and get out and drive!
Keep the shiny side up!

Hello Cincinnati SCCA members & friends!
 

Fall kicked in literally right on the nose for us this year with the temperature drop, hopefully no more 90+ degrees for 2022. As you read this, our season is winding down with a few more region events to go , the 2022 Solo Nationals are history and we have participants actively competing at the 2022 Runoffs at VIR this weekend! I hope for safe travels for everyone on the road wrapping up there events.

With the changing of the season it also brings us to that annual time of year for our club to regroup, assess the season and prepare for the next year. The most important activity is the election of our new Board of Directors for 2023. If you have ever wanted to get more involved, this upcoming election is a very opportunistic time as we have some positions that we will be filling with new faces and names for next year. One of those positions will be our Region Executive. It’s hard to believe but it has been 10 years since I had the opportunity to start serving the club in this capacity and it’s time for me to “pass the reigns” to a new RE for Cincinnati Region. I have loved the opportunity and the people I’ve had the privilege to work alongside over the years and now I need to focus on the family while the kids are still in the house. 🙂

 So at our next Board meeting on October 18th at 7PM at the Shooter’s in Liberty Township, we will have our regular meeting (on the 3rd Tuesday of the month) and accept nominations for current region members interested in running for board member positions to form our ballot that will be voted on at our November meeting (11/18/22). If you are interested in learning more about the board positions, please look up a board member either at an event or thru the contacts listed on our website cincyscca.com OR you can also look up the responsibilities listed in our bylaws that are also published on our website.

Look forward to seeing some new faces at our October meeting on 10/18/2022 at the Shooter’s Bar & Grill in Liberty Township at 7pm. Full address and information are on our website as well. Enjoy the time as the leaves start changing this month and get out and drive!

 
Take Care,

Hello Cincinnati SCCA members & friends! HAPPY FALL Y’ALL! As summer has now officially turned the corner into cooler temperatures, you will see some great announcements about our future activities from our event chairs in this Cinchronizer! And I have a few items of my own to review.

First, it’s election time! As always our October Membership/Board meeting was held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month on October 19th at Shooter’s in West Chester. Our October meeting was the nomination meeting to come up with the ballot for the election of our new board for 2022 from those in attendance. The ballot for the 2022 Cincinnati SSCA Board are:

  • Region Executive – Tony Brown
  • Assistant Region Executive – Gordon Benson
  • Treasurer – Christy Graham
  • Secretary – TBD
  • Board Member At Large (2 year term 2022-23, 3 elected)
    • Jack Burns
    • Jim Clark
    • Tom Thomlinson

Our election meeting is at our next Membership/Board meeting on November 16th at 7pm at the Shooter’s Sports Grill at 4981 Winners Circle, Liberty Township, OH 45011. Even though there are no contested positions for next years board, we’d still like to see members at our next meeting to learn more about our club operations and possibly learn about a role they would like to fill in the future. And the wings are pretty good as well!

On a more somber note, earlier in October one of our long time members Tony Horning passed away. Tony was a dedicated 49-year member of Cincinnati SCCA and had a long storied membership with our club. He was active in many activities over the years and also served as Region Executive for our club. Personally I first met Tony almost 20 years ago when I first started volunteering up at our Mid-Ohio events in Driver Information at the base of the tower. He was a great teacher on those track operations I learned long ago. He was also awarded our clubs prestigious Joel Williams Award for 2004. He will be missed by many of our SCCA friends. Rest In Peace and Godspeed Tony.

Finally, our Awards Banquet is scheduled to return for 2022! After a year off due to Covid, we have secured the date of February 5th, 2022 at the Receptions in Fairfield. We look forward to seeing everyone and recognizing our members in person again! In the meantime, our last Member/Board meeting (and Election Day) is coming up on November 16th, hope to see you there!

Tony Brown – Cincinnati Region SCCA, Region Executive
