Once again it’s time for Cascade Sports Car Club to nominate Board Members for the upcoming year. Unfortunately it has become increasingly difficult to find people willing to put the time and energy into managing and maintaining the club. Many of the people who regularly run or volunteer for Board Membership and other key positions are getting older. Many have expressed a desire to at least slow down if not retire completely. This all comes at a time when we have experienced increases in management requirements. Government, IRS, ICSCC , PIR and Insurance rules, regulations and contracts continue to expand. Involvement in a number of non-Cascade amateur and professional race events as well as our normal Cascade Races, Driver Training events, Rally events, Charitable programs, worker training efforts, promotional efforts, and social events all require considerable time commitments, management expertise and effort. Although the club is financially strong and able to weather financial instability, we are very short on new Board Member candidates who are ready and able to assist with managing all aspects of the club. There will come a time in the very near future when we will lose the few people we have left with the tribal knowledge to manage the club effectively. We can’t wait till that happens. We need new people willing to step into their shoes, learn the ropes, and take over for them while they are still available to help. Becoming a Board Member is a great way to learn how this organization and the racing community operates, apply personal abilities, learn valuable new skills, and give back to the community. If you are a member of CSCC, love to race cars, attend HPDE or Rally events or volunteer to work events please consider becoming a Board Member candidate. The Board consists of 8 members plus an alternate. 4 new members are elected each year and 4 return for their second year. Elections are held at the November General meeting. Per our bylaws, we are to present a slate of (at least) 8 nominees at the September meeting. Additional nominees can be accepted up until the ballots are completed in mid-October. If you have questions about the positions or process, please contact any one of the Board members for answers. We would very much love to hear from you. contact: Steve Powell, CSCC Board Member at steve@smytheco.com -or- Bob Peters, CSCC Board Member at 393bpeters@gmail.com

Greetings Cascade Sports Car Club My name is Pam Stec. I was the president of the SCCBC in the early nineties after Westwood closed. During the years between the closure of Westwood in 1990 and the opening of the current River’s Edge Road Course at Mission your club was instrumental in our survival. Cascade invited SCCBC to co-host events at PIR in order for us to retain our seat on the ICSCC board and they generously shared some of the profits of those events with us. Those funds were used to pave a curve in an existing drag strip return road at Mission Raceway Park. The resulting corners were named the Cascade Corners, turns 4-5-6. Without the funds from Cascade we would not been able to host driver training courses and test days in 1992 & 1993. Those events, together with the help of Molson Indy Vancouver, and dozens of people and companies who participated in a fund raiser known as the Adopt a Block program, allowed us to purchase the concrete barriers we needed to line the track edges. SCCBC held the Grand Opening for our road course on a blistering hot weekend in July of 1994, at a Conference event. This July 27-28 we are celebrating our 25th anniversary of Road Racing at Mission; the Mission 25. Unfortunately this is not a Conference race, but our CACC events are popular with SCCBC members and a good turnout is expected. As part of our celebrations we will be holding parade laps at noon on Saturday honoring our Founders, Block Parents, Past Executives and the Cascade Sports Car Club. We hope that your club will be able to send representatives to participate in the festivities. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for further information. We look forward to hearing from you. Yours in Motorsport Pam Stec SCCBC
