Board Update

The Susquehanna Region is happy to announce that Kevin MacDonald has accepted the vacant position of Director to serve on the board for the remainder of the year. Kevin is filling the director role that was vacated by long-time board member Geoff Craig at the end of June. The position will come up for nominations and regular election again at the normal election period during the October and November membership meetings.

Kevin has been an SCCA member since 2013, has been active with the Susquehanna autocross program and has equal experience attending other regions' autocross events. We look forward to his continued contributions as a board member.

We've Lost one of Our own...

With sorrow, I have to report that Murray W. (Sonny) Sperling Jr. passed away on Friday, July 21. For the younger members, that name likely isn't familiar.

Sonny was a life-long car enthusiast and a charter member and past president of the Appalachian Sports Car Club (ASCC), organizer of the Hershey Hillclimb, a state hill climb champion and winner of a national go kart championship.

ASCC became affiliated with Susquehanna Region SCCA in 1979, thus we've lost one of our own. The family requested that donations be made to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers, and the region has made a donation in Sonny's name.

As we speak, the 4th Rallycross event is taking place at Elmerton Lot.  It's a great summer day, and I'm sure the Rallycrossers are all having tons of fun playing in the dirt!

If you haven't gotten a chance to Rallycross yet this year, and you're still interested, you lucked out!  There is a rain date, scheduled for November 18th.  Don't let yourself miss out - make sure to sign up!

Driving Dirty​

AUG 7 , 2017 — The wild kid of the SCCA family, RallyCross is more fun than you dare imagine – so why aren’t you doing it? RallyCross is everything your parents told you not to do. It’s kicking through fields, flinging mud, and holding on to the wheel hoping there’s traction. It’s fast action, and precise driving from start to finish. It’s also everything that traditionalists think SCCA isn’t: young, fun, and comparatively loose with the rules.
