[Wichita-SCCA] Solo. . .uhhh. . .Membership meeting

[Dave Geis]

Hey,

A reminder that Wednesday are the Solo and Membership meetings at 
Quincy's. 6:30 for Solo, 7:30 for membership or come early and take 
advantage of their Wednesday steak specials.

And it'll be pretty much a Solo evening. First off will be the Solo tech 
class. If you remember from last month's Wail, it will be required to 
attend this class (or make other arrangements) to be able to tech cars 
for Solo.

The program for the general membership meeting will be. . . drum roll 
please. . . . Brian Meyer giving one of his infamous Solo course design 
classes.

Some more info on what will be going on. The Tech class will be an 
informal class held in the Quincy's parking lot (maybe we can tech some 
other customer's cars?) starting around 6:30. It will be conducted by a 
licensed Solo Safety Steward Instructor, a Nationally licensed 
Scrutineer and the Chief of Club Racing Tech for the Region. That'd be 
me :-).
The reason for the special class? National has been very concerned about 
the way tech inspections are being done (or not being done) around the 
country and will probably make it a licensed specialty some time in the 
near future. It's all about safety - both for the driver and for 
potential car damage. Judging by some things we've found here in the 
past, ranging from loose wheels to a battery held down by a stick (as in 
tree branch!), even the best maintained cars need some checking to make 
sure the driver just didn't overlook something.

Brian's course design seminar is a don't-miss event. Brian is one of the 
best course designers in the area (dare I say country?) and his classes 
make it all seem simple. He'll guide us through things to do, things not 
to do, and ideas to make it more fun for everyone. Brian can only be 
talked into doing these seminars every once in a while, so you need to 
grab this one while it's here!!
