Dear fellow INR Member,

Your last chance to put in your nomination form for Board of Directors is Thurs, Oct 20 at 9:00pm (21:00). You can return completed nomination forms to any board member or deliver them to the Oct.
Membership Mtg. At Sheffields near Westfield Mall on the 20th between
6:30pm-9:00pm. There will be plenty of people to sign for you at the meeting.
 

CLUB RACING: INR owes a big round of applause to Charlie Schlismann (F500) for representing us at the 2011 National Runoffs.
 

SOLO/ AUTOCROSS: With our season at its end some of our members went to the South Bend Regions SOLO to take First Place: Linda Ruschak (STRL), Kevin Kichoff (AST), Chuck (in a truck) Wheeler (FST) and Henry Phillips (F125).
Second places went to Steve Ruschak(DP), James Rose(GS) and Jason Gast(FST).

ATTN; ALL MEMBERS: Jason Gast is looking for someone to help him with the SOLO program. I have been amazed at how much he has accomplished without a real designated assistant for all this time. We also need a plan B if something fails and Jason is not available. He deserves a few seasons of "arrive and drive" so lets please help him out.

RALLY: As the days shorten, temperatures drop, leaves turn color then fall,
chairpersons tally points, and the 2011 INR season seems to be over.....
It’s TURKEY TIME!!!! This year our overly appropriate starting point for the
dreaded event will be STRONGBOW INN, 2405 Morthland Dr., Valparaiso IN. 46383 (219 462 5121). If you have never endured a Turkey Rally do not despair. Even sage seasoned Turkey Rallyers have no real advantage over the Turkey novice, you can knock the stuffing out of them!
All you need to Turkey Rally is patience, concentration, a sense of humor, a
driver navigator team, a roadworthy vehicle and some form of working odometer. (OK the odometer is probably optional as many of our winners have merely guessed the final figures) If you do not have a driver or do not have a navigator contact us, or just show up and we can most likely provide one for you.
TR Disclaimer: Turkey Rally is NOT a Time Speed Distance event. Turkey Rally is NOT a Regional, Divisional, or National Rally points event. TR does count for 21 club INR points. TR staff and INR not responsible for accidents, tickets,
arguments, breakups, fistfights, divorces, or mental anguish/ breakdown incurred while involved in the rally process. While not always perfect the instructions are absolutely the best we can do at the last minute.
TR Note: It is not OK to physically harm the Turkey Rallymaster or any of his
assistants. If you plan to come out to a race (or even if you don't plan to)
please contact SCCA National to do the FREE FOR THE ASKING membership upgrade to regional F&C (Flagging&Communications) . INFO contact CHARLIE, KEITH, or JEFF J.If you want tolearn about F&C contact CHARLIE 219-662-2659 after 2:00PM Central

If you have not been actively involved in rally activities recently, I want to
personally invite you to come back to enjoy the fun. Some of the faces may have changed over the years, but the same spirit of the rally community still
prevails. James R. says,and I quote him very loosely, " if you have done a
Turkey Rally, Time Speed Distance Rally becomes a real piece of cake".　See you at the Turkey Rally,
Charles R. Wheeler, RE INR, (219-308-3894)
