The rally this weekend was a huge success with a large turnout for a really challenging rally.  It was an extra special rally since it was the first rally that EBR has had where someone got engaged.  Alex Soduk had an bonus rally question added to Meredith’s and his rally questionnaire.  It was about finding a romantic place on a walking track which Alex used to propose to Meredith at the end of the rally.

We all congratulate both Alex and Meredith on their engagement!

Don’t forget to come to the EBR Autocross this Sunday 8/29 on the parking lot at the Hartville Marketplace & Flea Market in Hartville (1289 Edison Street Northwest, Hartville).  This is a fun way to learn how to better handle your car at speeds you drive every day.  Come out to run you car or to just watch the fun.

Registration starts at 12:00 and the cars start running at 1:00. If you have any questions contact Jeff Bernstein at 234-380-3027 or email me at Jeff.Bernstein@psangelus.com

Come join the fun!

 Rally teams should meet at the Hilton Garden Inn at the Akron- Canton Airport exit off of I-77 on Saturday beginning around 5:30 pm, with the last car leaving around 6:00pm.  The rally route should take 1.5-2 hours to complete, finishing up at Danny Boy’s Italian Eatery, 6081 Dressler Road NW,  in North Canton, just east of the Hall of Fame Bridge over I-77.

 EBR members not wishing to participate in the rally are encouraged to join us at Danny Boy’s around 7:30 or 8:00 pm for great food, presentation of prizes (!), and good times.

I feel honored for so many reasons to be the president of Eastern Buckeye Region.  The first and foremost reason is because there are so many great people in this club.  I have made so many incredible friendships over the years because of this club. Most of these friendships started due to attending track events, autocrosses and social events. It is hard to believe that some of these great friendships are now thirty years old.  It is also very exciting to see the younger members getting involved since this is the future of the club.

We have a very active membership compared to most regions due to the depth of diversity within our club.  We have members from all walks of life who have many great experiences to share.  Our membership is very approachable which makes our events very enjoyable to attend.   I highly recommend that you get involved in some of our club’s events since it can be such an incredible experience.

I am looking forward to working with a very capable and energetic board that is volunteering their time and effort to help make our club even more successful.  I assure you that they have a lot of exciting ideas for making our club even more engaging for the membership.

It is my hope that we will see even more participation from our membership in the upcoming events.   It really is about the people so get involved and make friendships that will last a lifetime.
