August 24, 2008: CVSCC Photo Scavenger Hunt & Cookout
12:30 Food & Games
1:30 Intro to the Hunt
1:45 The Hunt Begins
3:30 The Hunt Ends (Anybody arriving back early can have drinks & games)
CVSCC is again hosting a (digital) photo scavenger hunt on Sunday, August 24. This will be similar to the event from 2005, but this time there will also be a cookout and outdoor games before and after. This way there will be activities while the photos and points are tallied. Since this is a team challenge, it's a great event for your 'significant other' to come along.
Here's the link to photos, as well as the rules and item list from the 2005 event (2008 event will have a new list and modified rules):
A Photo Scavenger Hunt is a fun team-based scavenger hunt with an interesting twist — the goal is to bringing back digital photos of places and things on a list that will be provided. However, since this a car club activity cars will take more of a role in the hunt items and photos. You will have a fun time trying to capture as many of the items on the list with your camera within the time limit. Plus you get a ton of awesome photos that you, and other teams, took during the event.

Follow Dick Rally - A brisk Tour - Sunday June 29, 1:00 pm.
Meet at Mega Gas Station-Burger King at junction of North Crossing and I-94. Approximately 100 miles of Curvy Roads, ending back in the Eau Claire area for supper at a pleasant club. No charge, No Trophies, points for all.
This time, due to the popular demand and the price of gas, the route will be a little shorter and end at a pleasant dining spot near Eau Claire. The route will not have the great elevation changes and “Oh My God” dropoffs of previous runs but there are plenty of curvy roads. There will be rest and overlook stops. Come for a pleasant afternoon of sports car driving. Directions for the route will be provided in case you get separated. Although one is not required, bring a navigator to share the fun and keep track of the directions.
See you there, Dick Feeney

The May 'CVSCC 2008 Kickoff/Open Invite' meeting will be at Action City (http://www.actioncityfun.com) near 93/94 in Eau Claire on Thursday May 15th. As usual, the meeting will be at 7pm and the board meeting at 6:30 for board members. However, this is a special meeting where you are asked to invite those you know who may be interested in joining the club. We will have business cards and flyers available, and can answer any questions about the club or upcoming events. In addition, there will be door prizes for both new and existing members (if anybody has anything from their home in NEW condition or business to donate, please respond to [email protected]).
For this meeting, anybody interested can purchase an Action City 'attrACTIONS' License good for 3 event cards for $11 (to account for card, tax, and meeting room fee). These cards allow you to use 3 activities (indoor karts, laser tag, climbing wall, bowling, bumpers; but not NOT outdoor karts or arcade games) for that evening. Since Action City closes at 9pm and the meeting is at 7, these cards will be available from Nate in our meeting rooms (TV studio & movie room near indoor karts in the back right of the building) starting at 6pm. That way you can get your fun in before and/or after the meeting. We will want to pre-purchase these so if you can commit to attending and purchasing a card, reply back ([email protected] or at forum thread) with a count of the cards you will buy and time of arrival. You 'may' be able to get in on this deal on arrival that evening, but if not you can always purchase points or cards on your own, although at an increased cost (example - individual kart races are usually $6).
Meeting topics - we want this to be a good introduction to the club for possible new members and will give overview of calendar and club, as well as answering any questions. There may not be much time for other things, but certainly we will want to discuss the upcoming autocross, picnic/meeting/show/ballgame, and Corvette club car show.
Again, please attend and invite others to this meeting. You can share the website with them and our 2008 calendar which John will also have printed copies at the meeting - http://www.cvscc.org/2008Schedule.pdf
PARKING - It would be nice if all can park in the same area for group recognition and possibly gathering after the meeting, so park in the back SW corner of the parking lot as a group if you can. Maybe we could even arrange for a long overdue group photo as well.

There is not a room charge or meal requirement, but please support the business by ordering a meal if you can to thank them for use of the room. There is not a buffet in the evening, but the salad bar should be available and you can order off the menu.

In early February the CVSCC board members put together a draft 2008 calendar. At the February general meeting, members had a chance to provide input to the calendar, volunteer to head up an event, and indicate their interest in each event. This process will be repeated at the March meeting, afterwards the calendar will be finalized. Here is the link to the current DRAFT calendar.
If you were not at the Feb meeting and will not be able to make the March meeting, record your comments on CVSCC's forum at the ECSCC's forum site. In particular, note if you would be willing to head up an event that does not have an Event Master and list out those events you would be interested in attending. The related thread is here.
About ECSCC: The Eau Claire Sports Car Club is an informal 'club', mostly just the website discussion forum, where members can get together to talk about cars and future area events. Members can then show up at area events that interest them, they generally do not put on any events themselves. The site/club creators are college students new to the area (who also have since joined CVSCC) created a section of that forum site dedicated to CVSCC. CVSCC's previous attempt at having online forums did not have much response, so it was removed, but it's hoped that since this new forum from ECSCC is very active, that some of you will spend more time discussing the club in CVSCC's section there and maybe even participate in the other lively discussions on that site. We've also now added a permanent menu link from this website to CVSCC's forum within ECSCC's site. (NOTE - to make room we also removed the 'Classified' menu link due to minimal use, but if you wish to post anything for sale, use ECSCC's related forum to do so instead)..

The Pro Kart outing and optional side trip to the Twin Cities auto show will be on Saturday, March 17th. The karting event will be a private session for the club at the Burnsville, MN Pro Kart location from 11am to noon. For those interested, this is also the last weekend of the auto show which is located at the Downtown Minneapolis & Convention Center. Since there are a limited number of seats available (20) we need to know how many people are planning on driving. The number of drivers also determines the cost per person (track rental of approx $650 divided by the number of drivers). This is open to non-club members so feel free to invite friends and relatives who would like to race with us. We will meet at McDonalds on Hwy. 12 and leave from there at 9:00am.

Electric Karts & Board Meeting (Nov 2nd) - The CVSCC board meets the first Thursday of every month at 7pm, but this month we will meet at Action City in the dining area at the usual 7pm time and try to be done in 30 minutes. Anybody member interested is welcome to join the board at 7pm for this brief meeting. Then, at 7:30 join us for 3 electric kart races for just $10.54 per person ($9.99 + tax). Usually the kart races are $6 each at 'go speed' so this is a really good deal. We will be buying multiple access cards in bulk at 7:30 so please arrive at this time to be sure you can get in on the discount. These cards are intended for use with go karts, but Action City has many other activities available as well. Because this is not a private session we will simply run 3 races back to back, possibly with other members of the public, but Thursday evenings are fairly quiet. These karts they are electric powered and capable of 20-25 mph on a road race style track & no helmet or equipment required. NOTE - we are also looking into having a reserved private session at this location and we will be informed about a future karting league effort they will be starting in conjunction with the opening of their outdoor banked oval course with new gas powered karts, along with their existing karts/track.

The Sports Car Club of La Crosse is considering having another Solo 2 (Autocross) school, contact Dan Hampton if you are interested. Below is the email received:
The Sports Car of La Crosse is, again, exploring the idea of conducting a Washburn Solo 2 School this September on either the 9th or 10th. of the month. Unlike the past, this will be an ALL day school. The location will be the track in Winona at SE Technical College. We will be limiting the class to 10-12 participants and the cost would be $100.00 for the full day.
The instruction is aimed at people of all experience levels. Typically, in the past, we have had a 50/50 mix of novice and experienced drivers. The instruction will be tailored to your tenure as a Solo 2 driver. The instruction will focus on slalom execution, line control, threshold braking, developing acceleration zones, etc.
The lead instructor, Pat Washburn, is a Nationally ranked Solo 2 driver, whose experience spans 20 yrs. of Regional and National Competition. This will be the fourth school that Pat has instructed for SCCLAC. Most of our "grads" have found the instruction to be excellent and most feel that it accelerated their learning curve by at least one year.
Again, this is simply a request by SCCLAC to determine an indication of interest by our Solo 2 participants. Please let me know if you have such an interest.

August 24, 2008: CVSCC Photo Scavenger Hunt & Cookout
12:30 Food & Games
1:30 Intro to the Hunt
1:45 The Hunt Begins
3:30 The Hunt Ends (Anybody arriving back early can have drinks & games)
CVSCC is again hosting a (digital) photo scavenger hunt on Sunday, August 24. This will be similar to the event from 2005, but this time there will also be a cookout and outdoor games before and after. This way there will be activities while the photos and points are tallied. Since this is a team challenge, it's a great event for your 'significant other' to come along.
Here's the link to photos, as well as the rules and item list from the 2005 event (2008 event will have a new list and modified rules):
A Photo Scavenger Hunt is a fun team-based scavenger hunt with an interesting twist — the goal is to bringing back digital photos of places and things on a list that will be provided. However, since this a car club activity cars will take more of a role in the hunt items and photos. You will have a fun time trying to capture as many of the items on the list with your camera within the time limit. Plus you get a ton of awesome photos that you, and other teams, took during the event.

Follow Dick Rally - A brisk Tour - Sunday June 29, 1:00 pm.
Meet at Mega Gas Station-Burger King at junction of North Crossing and I-94. Approximately 100 miles of Curvy Roads, ending back in the Eau Claire area for supper at a pleasant club. No charge, No Trophies, points for all.
This time, due to the popular demand and the price of gas, the route will be a little shorter and end at a pleasant dining spot near Eau Claire. The route will not have the great elevation changes and “Oh My God” dropoffs of previous runs but there are plenty of curvy roads. There will be rest and overlook stops. Come for a pleasant afternoon of sports car driving. Directions for the route will be provided in case you get separated. Although one is not required, bring a navigator to share the fun and keep track of the directions.
See you there, Dick Feeney

The May 'CVSCC 2008 Kickoff/Open Invite' meeting will be at Action City (http://www.actioncityfun.com) near 93/94 in Eau Claire on Thursday May 15th. As usual, the meeting will be at 7pm and the board meeting at 6:30 for board members. However, this is a special meeting where you are asked to invite those you know who may be interested in joining the club. We will have business cards and flyers available, and can answer any questions about the club or upcoming events. In addition, there will be door prizes for both new and existing members (if anybody has anything from their home in NEW condition or business to donate, please respond to [email protected]).
For this meeting, anybody interested can purchase an Action City 'attrACTIONS' License good for 3 event cards for $11 (to account for card, tax, and meeting room fee). These cards allow you to use 3 activities (indoor karts, laser tag, climbing wall, bowling, bumpers; but not NOT outdoor karts or arcade games) for that evening. Since Action City closes at 9pm and the meeting is at 7, these cards will be available from Nate in our meeting rooms (TV studio & movie room near indoor karts in the back right of the building) starting at 6pm. That way you can get your fun in before and/or after the meeting. We will want to pre-purchase these so if you can commit to attending and purchasing a card, reply back ([email protected] or at forum thread) with a count of the cards you will buy and time of arrival. You 'may' be able to get in on this deal on arrival that evening, but if not you can always purchase points or cards on your own, although at an increased cost (example - individual kart races are usually $6).
Meeting topics - we want this to be a good introduction to the club for possible new members and will give overview of calendar and club, as well as answering any questions. There may not be much time for other things, but certainly we will want to discuss the upcoming autocross, picnic/meeting/show/ballgame, and Corvette club car show.
Again, please attend and invite others to this meeting. You can share the website with them and our 2008 calendar which John will also have printed copies at the meeting - http://www.cvscc.org/2008Schedule.pdf
PARKING - It would be nice if all can park in the same area for group recognition and possibly gathering after the meeting, so park in the back SW corner of the parking lot as a group if you can. Maybe we could even arrange for a long overdue group photo as well.

In early February the CVSCC board members put together a draft 2008 calendar. At the February general meeting, members had a chance to provide input to the calendar, volunteer to head up an event, and indicate their interest in each event. This process will be repeated at the March meeting, afterwards the calendar will be finalized. Here is the link to the current DRAFT calendar.
If you were not at the Feb meeting and will not be able to make the March meeting, record your comments on CVSCC's forum at the ECSCC's forum site. In particular, note if you would be willing to head up an event that does not have an Event Master and list out those events you would be interested in attending. The related thread is here.
About ECSCC: The Eau Claire Sports Car Club is an informal 'club', mostly just the website discussion forum, where members can get together to talk about cars and future area events. Members can then show up at area events that interest them, they generally do not put on any events themselves. The site/club creators are college students new to the area (who also have since joined CVSCC) created a section of that forum site dedicated to CVSCC. CVSCC's previous attempt at having online forums did not have much response, so it was removed, but it's hoped that since this new forum from ECSCC is very active, that some of you will spend more time discussing the club in CVSCC's section there and maybe even participate in the other lively discussions on that site. We've also now added a permanent menu link from this website to CVSCC's forum within ECSCC's site. (NOTE - to make room we also removed the 'Classified' menu link due to minimal use, but if you wish to post anything for sale, use ECSCC's related forum to do so instead)..

Changes are being made to the details of the Pro Kart outing and optional side trip to the Twin Cities auto show on Saturday, March 17th. Due to a lack of confirmed attendees to meet the minium requirement, we will no longer be having a private karting session at 11am, but those interested are still free to head over for an arrive and drive session (see Pro Kart Indoor's website for pricing). Final details, including race time, possible car pooling and caravan preparations, will be finalized at the club meeting on March 15th at 7pm Connells II.

The Pro Kart outing and optional side trip to the Twin Cities auto show will be on Saturday, March 17th. The karting event will be a private session for the club at the Burnsville, MN Pro Kart location from 11am to noon. For those interested, this is also the last weekend of the auto show which is located at the Downtown Minneapolis & Convention Center. Since there are a limited number of seats available (20) we need to know how many people are planning on driving. The number of drivers also determines the cost per person (track rental of approx $650 divided by the number of drivers). This is open to non-club members so feel free to invite friends and relatives who would like to race with us. We will meet at McDonalds on Hwy. 12 and leave from there at 9:00am. To reserve your seats, or for more information, contact Bob Druschel at 552-0266.

Electric Karts & Board Meeting (Nov 2nd) - The CVSCC board meets the first Thursday of every month at 7pm, but this month we will meet at Action City in the dining area at the usual 7pm time and try to be done in 30 minutes. Anybody member interested is welcome to join the board at 7pm for this brief meeting. Then, at 7:30 join us for 3 electric kart races for just $10.54 per person ($9.99 + tax). Usually the kart races are $6 each at 'go speed' so this is a really good deal. We will be buying multiple access cards in bulk at 7:30 so please arrive at this time to be sure you can get in on the discount. These cards are intended for use with go karts, but Action City has many other activities available as well. Because this is not a private session we will simply run 3 races back to back, possibly with other members of the public, but Thursday evenings are fairly quiet. These karts they are electric powered and capable of 20-25 mph on a road race style track & no helmet or equipment required. NOTE - we are also looking into having a reserved private session at this location and we will be informed about a future karting league effort they will be starting in conjunction with the opening of their outdoor banked oval course with new gas powered karts, along with their existing karts/track.

The Sports Car Club of La Crosse is considering having another Solo 2 (Autocross) school, contact Dan Hampton if you are interested. Below is the email received:
The Sports Car of La Crosse is, again, exploring the idea of conducting a Washburn Solo 2 School this September on either the 9th or 10th. of the month. Unlike the past, this will be an ALL day school. The location will be the track in Winona at SE Technical College. We will be limiting the class to 10-12 participants and the cost would be $100.00 for the full day.
The instruction is aimed at people of all experience levels. Typically, in the past, we have had a 50/50 mix of novice and experienced drivers. The instruction will be tailored to your tenure as a Solo 2 driver. The instruction will focus on slalom execution, line control, threshold braking, developing acceleration zones, etc.
The lead instructor, Pat Washburn, is a Nationally ranked Solo 2 driver, whose experience spans 20 yrs. of Regional and National Competition. This will be the fourth school that Pat has instructed for SCCLAC. Most of our "grads" have found the instruction to be excellent and most feel that it accelerated their learning curve by at least one year.
Again, this is simply a request by SCCLAC to determine an indication of interest by our Solo 2 participants. Please let me know if you have such an interest.
