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!

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!

To all of our fans, friends, and former members. The Chippewa Valley Sports Car Club is trying to branch out a bit this year and has a few things in the works that are hopefully of interest to many of you.

-We will continue hosting our two annual autocross events. The Spitfire Challenge is June 29th, and the Dick Feeney Memorial Autocross will be Sept. 28th.

-The club has started a local version of the early Saturday morning gatherings that are popular across the country, which we are calling the Chippewa Valley Cars & Coffee. (Click the link for more information.)

-We will be getting a group of people together for a cruise or two later in the summer.

-There is some significant interest in once again hosting a TSD (Time Speed Distance) Rally in the Chippewa Valley.

As always, we hope to see you all out at one, or all of our events.

Sincerely,
Steven Andringa
President - Chippewa Valley Sports Car Club

Good news everybody!
 
Early morning Cars and Coffee events have been gaining popularity across the country. -- Unfortunately, for those of us in the Chippewa Valley, attending one of these events meant waking up before dawn and driving 2 hours into Minnesota.

At this time, the Chippewa Valley Sports Car Club, is happy to announce that we are going to make your drive much shorter! 

Every third Saturday of the month, beginning the 19th of April in 2014, we will be hosting Chippewa Valley Cars and Coffee.

What: Chippewa Valley Cars and Coffee will be a place to meet other car enthusiasts, talk about cars, drink some free coffee, eat some free donuts, and generally just have a fun time.
