EBR Drivers Education July 13th Nelson Ledges

Registration for the EBR Driver’s Education event scheduled for July 13th at Nelson Ledges is now officially open.  The registration process is being streamlined by using MotorsportReg.com.  Simply follow this link to sign up: http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.advert/uidEvent/05265629-B28F-2F32-56D0AC16372DCBFD.    

 If you are new to DE’s and wondering what they are about, here is a short preview.  A DE event  is an opportunity to learn the true performance capabilities of your car, and develop your skills as a driver in a safe controlled environment.  

It will only take a few laps to realize your car possesses super powers that you may not have known previously existed.  In the beginning the driver is truly the limiting factor.  Learning how to develop your driving ability to use more of your car’s capability is a blast.  DE events are the best way to accomplish this goal in a safe and controlled environment, not on public streets. 

For those of you that have never tried a DE but are familiar with Autocross, you have no idea what fun awaits out on the track.  As the club is searching for a new Autocross venue, this is the perfect opportunity to try a DE event.  I’ll be willing to bet if you like Autocross you will LOVE a DE.  You may find you have such a great time that you will be looking forward to future track events.  Don’t worry we have another DE in the works scheduled in August, more details to follow. 

If you have any questions please let me know,

2012 EBR Chili Cook-off

In case you missed it, the Eastern Buckeye Region PCA held its annual chili cook-off last month at Ohio Brewery in Akron.

Members brought many different styles and varieties of homemade chili to sample.  After everyone sampled the field and their votes were tallied.  The following awards were presented: Meredith’s “Hot, Spicy & Sweet HOF Chili” won spiciest, Greg’s “No Name Chili” won people’s choice, and Kathy’s “Buffalo Chicken Chili” won most original.

In addition to enjoying the chili and camaraderie, Ohio Brewery had several of their award winning beers on tap to taste fresh from the brew kettle.

Thanks again to everyone who attended.  If you could not attend the chili cook-off, we hope to try your chili in 2013!
