A Great Man LostIf you've been to a Susquehanna Region event over the last few years, there's a good chance you know who Tom Hamm is. He was an amazing photographer and an even better person. He will be greatly missed by many! I copied the information his brother posted on Facebook to let us know of his passing. We will miss you Tom! January 8, 2024 PS: With all the suffering he went through, he shared his sense of humor right up to the very end. Note from the REHappy New Year! Since our last Squeal went out, I have had quite the month. With work, our office manager quit (December for a payroll company is really bad timing) so I spent the month driving 2 hours a day, pulling double duty with work, and almost instantly getting sick...which ended up lasting through the holidays. The new year came, and 13 days in, I decided to massively break my arm (left of course since I'm a lefty) when I fell ice skating. I'm scheduled for surgery next Friday, so keep me and my arm in your thoughts. 2024 has gotten off to a rough start for me, but thankfully, I have a lot of help to keep me and the Region on track. Planning for the year is in full effect, so you'll be hearing from us soon! Keep it classy Susquehanna 2024 Season Schedules!Coming Soon... Please note that these dates could change throughout the season. RallyCross may use one of the dates as a rain date as well depending on the weather.

News from SCCA Foundation Sweepstakes: Win a SimJAN 11, 2024 — The weather outside may be frightful (in some parts of the country anyway), but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your racing fix – with online sim-racing continuing to grow in popularity and realism. The SCCA Foundation has an amazing opportunity for you to get into sim-racing or upgrade your existing equipment in a serious way, while also contributing to the terrific programs funded by the SCCA Foundation. The SCCA Foundation has announced its Winter Sweepstakes fundraiser featuring a “dream ultimate racing simulator” from Ricmotech. With a value of $15,000, this sim-racing package includes everything you need and all the features you dream of having on your ultimate sim rig. A True Street Survival Success StoryJAN 16, 2024 — Success stories from the Tire Rack Street Survival teen driving schools are what it’s all about. In its most basic form – and with the assistance of the SCCA Foundation and SCCA® Regions across the country – Street Survival schools educate teens on the importance of vehicle safety, running the gamut from car control to tire pressures and staying visible around big rigs. This teen program doesn’t keep the learning in the classroom, either – it’s an immersive one-day program that places teens in their own vehicles to teach them the skills that could one day save their lives.That’s the dramatic pitch. The reality is that the Street Survival program offers a fun learning environment for teens who otherwise might not think about the dangers and consequences driving can bring. Through hands-on lessons, teens then become safer drivers who – hopefully – will never be placed in life-altering situations thanks to the education they received during the Street Survival school. TRoadRallies To Keep You Hoppin' in 2024JAN 08, 2024 — The New Year’s here, and so are a bundle of can’t-miss SCCA® RoadRallies. In the next two months, you can fill your calendar with five National/Divisional RoadRallies that’ll keep you on your toes. And no, these events aren’t taking place in sunny California or Florida, so expect the challenges to extend beyond the RoadRally’s General Instructions. The first event of note is right around the corner, taking place on Jan. 13. The Son of Sno*Drift Divisional Tour Rally will be hosted by Detroit Region in South Lyon, MI, located 40 minutes outside Detroit. This is far from the event’s first go-round and is expected to mix challenging roads, conditions, and instructions to make it an event worthy of your time. Breaking News: Time Trials Nat Tour and Track Event Book Road AmericaJAN 16, 2024 — Have you ever wondered what happens when the inmates run the asylum? Assuming that asylum is the Tire Rack SCCA® Time Trials National Tour Powered by Hagerty and the Track Events that run alongside it, they’d book track time at Road America and head to Wisconsin for an insanely fun weekend. And that’s exactly what we just did. Once we realized that nobody was going to stop us, we broke out the company credit card and booked the track for April 13-14, 2024, making this not only an additional event to the already-announced 2024 Time Trials National Tour schedule, but also the first time the Time Trials National Tour and its Track Event companion will have ever put a tire on the famed (and recently resurfaced) 4.048-mile, 14-turn circuit located just outside of Elkhart Lake, WI. ——— Sponsors ———2024 Event ScheduleAutocross Dates: 2024 dates in progress!
