Greetings;

I hope that all is well this Holiday Season for you, your family and friends.   I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on Region 37.  My name is Darryl Lindsay.  In November, we held our year- end meeting at Bobby's Place in Endwell. After many years of faithful service, Nick has decided to take a break so I am now your Region Executive. Thank You to Nick for his guidance over the past several years.  Brian Balliet is the Assistant Region Executive;  Nick Brewster is continuing the responsibility of Treasurer and Rob Pingarelli is the Secretary/Membership Chairman. If you're like me, you know people by their cars (it's great being a car junky).  For those of you who I have not met, I drove a red Tiburon in H Stock two years ago.  My son Steve and I put together a 1985 Red Devil Formula 440 which we ran last year. 

As your new Region Executive, I wanted to let you know about a few things we are looking at for next year.  We are still trying to get into a few new sites but nothing is set as of this time.  If you know of, or have access to, a large parking lot that you believe we could utilize please contact one of us.  I have verbal commitments from 3 businesses to sponsor our events next year.  I think this will bring a little more notoriety to our events.  One of those commitments is from one of the large auto dealer groups in our area (announcements to come).   With this we may have several new cars on display at one of our events to look at and possible test drive (but unfortunately not on course).    

Look for us at Race World 2009 at the Oakdale mall in February.  We'll have a couple of cars and a display set-up so stop by and say hello.  There are several videos from past events on YouTube.  Just search SNYR SCCA.  We will probably have an organizational meeting in January so don't forget to watch this site for announcements.  A special thank you to Sue, Brian and Jason Balliet for all of their work on the website.  They have done a wonderful job in updating our web site. 

May the Holidays be a time of peace and sharing with your family and friends. 

Oh Yea…don't forget to ask Santa for that SCCA membership.  See you at the races.
