Lowell, The first "Lowell's Winding Drive tour" I was there. Your Z developed a fuel leak, so we went on without you. I know I was because it was the first day that I had the 95TT. I even promoted it as your event......what happened there.....Didn't see enough support form the club!! Jan Yeagley worked on it and we did it again the second year. It's still opperational..Last year Bob Kresheky set up the course into Logan County and we all had a blast..... I guess rolling hills and hard cornering isn't the same as Solo II, but most of the members consider it performance! I can appreciate you long envolvement with Solo. (Perhaps you recall when I did a article about you in one of the ZCCO newsletters.) I don't think that the Club has been unfair or non-supportive. To compete in that event is a major full season committment. Some of us....including myself...are unwilling to commit entire Sunday's for the opportunity to spend 5-6 60-second runs around cones. Todate, about four of our members have done track days with NASA. Didn't you do one too? As for performance related issues. I have to agree with Phil. We offered! You want...so get in and make a differance. SO here's a offer that you can consider. I'm sure that the other Board Members would be willing to promote a VP of Performance.......question is are you willing to put up? Now, I will take exception to you attitude about our events not being performance related. So bring either car on August 13th and see the drive to Conkle's Hollow goes. Call Ernie, he coordinates the event. I will be off to the ZCON and a day at Watkins Glen. If you can't heat up you breaks there...when then your not trying. Now if your intent is to just trash the club....or for that matter me....you should really reconsider it. Your looking like a grumppy old man.

Lowell, As a member of SCCA, I contacted all of the local folks to see how we could them envolved. Unfortunately, they were all booked up on that weekend with Solo events and holding a Miata Club event. I didn't get very far. I also offered to let them come to the event and sell Solo, joining SCCA and talking about getting into racing. No one took up our offer except Hal Auger. He's bring the old 510 down and joining us. So there you have it. We have a day long event that is a lot of information and maybe a bunch of folks with old Z's that just don't want to push'em around cones! So timing is everything. To bad you left ZROC. We could have used you help setting up a individual event.....we just didn't have the expertise. By the way, I see from the Observers Stand, you position with the Focus is about the same as the Z.......maybe you should take the Z.....at some point it may just be a pride thing.....even if your stuck in BSP! Anyway, drag you self down to the show....your always welcome! Corbett
