We may not have sold ice cubes to Eskimos, but we moved at least one air conditioner.


You must have forgotten to tip your novice coordinator.


It's true we tried to scare Brice off, but he came back anyway.


Please don't bother timing and scoring!


Our fears were not realized.


Let me think about that....


Go ahead and blame me. Here's how I learned to be an unwelcoming jerk: I chaired an NCAC event for the first time in 1991 (at NCMS, no less). Late in the day a lady approached the timing table and demanded to know why we had DNF'ed her husband on all 4 of his runs. Her argument consisted of 2 parts: (1) her husband had autocrossed for years, so this simply was not possible, and (2), they had left their home in West Virginia/Vermont/Idaho/Mars at 2 AM to drive to our autocross, and we owed them something. Club Pres Kurt Spitzner patiently explained.. patiently.. that we were sorry her husband was frustrated by the results, but that this was an amateur event, staffed by unpaid amateurs, and if a mistake had been made four times, well, we really can't fix it now. She tried arguments 1 and 2 a few more times, and Kurt repeated his answer. So she stomped off. And Kurt turned to me and said: "It's nice if they can go away happy, but it's more important that they go away."

Rodney is a waxer (but in a good way)

OR . . . you could BYON (bring your own novice), pay his registration, walk the course with him, and then let him beat you in your own car. Pretty sure he'll be back.

To say the Brice was, well, "outspoken", is and always shall be an understatement....

What? Outspoken? So Brice gets banned and Remchak is still around?

For some reason I can see Brice getting on here and posting up "Hey guys, which blow off valve should I get for my Integra???".....on an NA B18 . I've seen that question on honda-tech numerous times too.

So I just emailed Milko, Rob and Liz a list of 163 unique novice's email address that have run with us since the start of 2011. Hopefully they can put together a survey and we can get some info about what we're doing well and not so well.

That is excellent. So what is the list of questions you plan on asking?

I did the scripting to pull the emails, the Novice Coordinators and Milko can make the survey .

Unfortunately that list is only novices who preregistered but it's generally the case the novices are walk ups so we are missing some people. But it's a start.

I remember back when I was an AXVP when Brice caused quite the stir back in '06. You can read about some of it in this post. He managed to make enough of an impression that he was immortilized in our season points trophies that year. Sadly he didn't attend to see his name on all of the trophies that were handed out that night. I keep a copy of all the past THSCC artwork though, so for anyone who missed it....
