It was great to try the different styles and personal interpretations of chili recipes.  It was especially nice to catch up with other EBR members.

Hope to see you at the next event!

EBR Slot Car Racing

Mark’s Model World provided a great setting for some close slot car racing.  Mark was a great host and provided club members the opportunity to test their skill on two of their challenging tracks.  The “Rental” cars were evenly matched for the most part except for a white colored car that must have been tuned by Smokey Yunick himself.  It was a great way to get a car on track on a weeknight in February.  IMG_0424 (996x1024)IMG_0423 (1024x764)IMG_0419 (1024x533)

2013 Spring Rally

EBR’s first rally of the season was held on Saturday April 6th.  It was dubbed the “Frackin” rally because it wound across some beautiful roads in Stark and Carroll Counties that are experiencing a boom in oil and natural gas production.  There was a great line-up of cars with just under forty members participating.

In addition to the great roads, everyone was treated to some beautiful early spring weather and great food.  After driving a one and a half hour, well-planned route with an mix of relaxed driving and challenging questions, the drive concluded at the Hart Mansion in Minerva.  This fine restaurant is set in a historic home originally constructed in 1869 that features Italianate Architecture that was popular in Victorian America.

Congratulations to the following rally winners:  The brother and sister team of Alex Soduk and Stephanie  finished in first place with a perfect score.  Second place went to Walt and Julie Soduk.  Third place went to new members Harry Bindreiter and Denise.  Also a special Thank You goes out to Joe and Kelly Bernstein for planning a great event.

March Cars and Coffee

The last Saturday in March brought with it some of the best weather so far of 2013 and a great turn out to the first EBR Cars and Coffee event of the driving season. Everyone who attended seemed to have a minor case of cabin fever and was ready and willing to get the car out for a drive.

Special Bonus points for anyone who can name make and model of the right hand drive Japanese built Italian designed car pictured here.

Hope to see you at the next event!”
