If you have heard about Road Rallies, but you aren't quite sure what they are all about, then you'll be happy to know that Mike Levenick (CVSCC's very own Social Chair) took the time to do a full write up on this weekend's Chippewa Trail Road Rally.
My apologies for the late reminder, but the August meeting is in fact Tonight!
Same place, Same time (Mogie's @ 7pm) An agenda is in the works, but a rough list of topics is below.
In years gone by, the Chippewa Valley Sports Car Club published a monthly newsletter called "Behind The Wheel". We've managed to locate digital copies of Volumes 21-28 (2001-2009) which are available through a link on the Archives page. While it won't be monthly, John Qualheim has agreed to publish a continuation of "Behind the Wheel" as time and content allows. The 2014 Summer issue is below, and John is eagerly awaiting your ideas for future issues. (John can be reached at john.qualheim@att.net.)  CVSCC is teaming up with the Land of Lakes Region SCCA to put on a TSD (Time, Speed, Distance) rally called the Chippewa Trail Road Rally. Come on out for the August Cars and Coffee, and then hang out for a bit before the first car heads out at Noon. The Rally is planned to cover 110 miles through Eau Claire, Dunn and Buffalo counties.
Date: August 16th Where: Starts and ends at Action City on the South side of Eau Claire, WI. Who: Open to all Cost: $20/car (Driver, Navigator) Includes Pizza/Soda buffet at Action City while you wait for all participants to finish.

See you all tomorrow! We had a great event yesterday, and I'd like to thank everyone who came out. Even with 100 drivers and starting a bit behind schedule, we were still able to get everyone 8 runs, and finish at a reasonable time.

We had a great turnout today at our June Chippewa Valley Cars & Coffee, and while we had 50+ cars show up, because of their enthusiastic owners, it will be the 3 Tesla Model S, that I will remember the most. The black one had the rear facing 3rd row of seats in it, while I was half joking about wanting to see how I fit, I jumped in, when the owner told me to go for it. Chad Menne was standing near by and for still unknown reasons thought that if I "fit" in the rear seats of the black Model S, that I should definitely try to fit in the front trunk of his Model S. After a brief negotiation which included Chad signing up for Chippewa Valley Sports Car Club (CVSCC)'s Spitfire Challenge next weekend, I climbed on into the front of his Model S. Later on, as everyone started packing up and heading home, I found myself talking to Mark Hanson, who said something along the lines of "You really need to drive a Model S to understand how they are different than normal cars." About a minute later, I was going down the road in the driver's seat of Mark's Model S (Which I actually fit in.) I hope that everyone that came out this morning had a great time, and I look forward to seeing you all there again next month! -Steven President - Chippewa Valley Sports Car Club Our last meeting before the Spitfire Challenge, the week of our June Cars and Coffee, and plenty of other stuff to talk about on June 17th at 7pm. We will again meet at Mogie's Pub on Water St. in their basement meeting area.
 Details for the Spitfire Challenge on June 29 have been posted on the Events page, registration coming soon!
