From the Editor's Desk

Hi There  - 

A short one this month - as we've been very busy getting all of the details buttoned up for next Saturday's event at York and the Tire Rack Street Survival the following week.

Make sure to check out the details for both events below in this month's issue.  There are only 10 spots left for the York event, and registration closes on Thursday - so don't miss out!

If you're interested in helping or coaching at Street Survival, please read my article below. 

See you at the York Expo!

Keep it Classy Susquehanna - Melissa Mauro
Editor, The Squeal

 

That's (Almost) a Wrap!

by Kristen Poole

Here we are, staring down the end of yet another Autocross season in the Susquehanna Region… and while it was a touch on the soggy side, I think it’s safe to say it was both fun and successful.

Now. We still have one event left, but it’s a non-points, fun event at a new potential venue for 2019; the York Expo Center. Registration closes this Thursday at 8:00pm, and we’ve only got 10 slots left… so if you haven’t already, get in while there’s still room!

In addition, I’m excited to announce that we’re going to be shaking things up in the off-season. Our very own Melissa Mauro will be stepping into the Autocross Co-Chair slot, taking Interim Chair off of my plate, which I am both excited and extremely grateful for. I know she and Mr. Brown are already planning for 2019. I have a feeling it’s going to be another great season in the Susquehanna Region.

I hope you’ll all join us!

Thanks for a Great Season

by John Roscinski

Before we go into hibernation for the winter, I just wanted to say thank you to all the RallyCross competitors and volunteers for helping to make this year our most successful season ever! Let’s repeat that success next year! See you at the banquet in January! 

If you have a lead on a venue or would like to pitch in, drop us a line: rallycross@scca-susq.com

Street Survival Is Two Weeks Away

by Melissa Mauro

I STILL NEED YOUR HELP!

Susquehanna's first-ever Tire Rack Street Survival is two weeks away, and I'm putting another call out for help.  This event requires a lot of coordination, so if any of you have help with any of these items below, I'd appreciate the help. 

This is going to be a great way to give back to the community, and help make some teens safer out on the road.  If you're interesting in coaching, and you haven't gotten your certification yet, you can go here and take the course.  It takes about 45 minutes, and you'll get a certificate when you're finished.  The certificates are emailed to Tim Beechuk, but if you can email me at streetsurvival@scca-susq.com, so I know you're certified, that would be great.

I also have the Coach/Event Help sign up page open on MSR, so if you're able to make the event, please sign up below!

COACH & EVENT HELP REGISTRATION

If you're interested in helping with the event in any way, I'd love to hear from you as well.  Feel free to email me or reach out via Facebook.
