Great year I had co-driving Janet’s car with her. Nothing strengthens a marriage like a friendly competition.
Also, big shout out to Jen Maxcy for her time and effort. That goes to Brad Maxcy as well. Congrats on your Lifetime Award. Finally, welcome and thanks to David Powers for stepping in. Looking forward to 2019.

It’s a cool day in November but Texas Region #SCCA #Solo is heating things up at our 2018 charity event!!

Today is event number 9 of the 2018 TX Region Championship Solo series. We typically pay over $1,600 per event just for Sanction & Insurance fees to the National Office. SCCA has a program where we’re able to designate 1 event per year as a charity fundraiser. Since today is Veterans Day we choose to raise funds for a worthy organization called VET Motorsports.

TX Region is going to match all donations made on site benefiting @VETMotorsports! So far over $1,100 cash has been donated by entrants. TX Region SCCA Solo is going to match what the entrants donate, PLUS the $1,600 sanction/insurance fees saved!

Big thanks to Rob Dickey from VET Motorsports and Mike Cobb, President of SCCA, for coming out to our event today! … See MoreSee Less

Rob Dickey II, it was great to meet you today! You look fantastic with a wad of cash in your hands! Pete Cline, we’ll continue accepting donations through the rest of the event today & mail a donation check to you tomorrow.

Thanks to the Texas Region SCCA Solo & Jen Maxcy for the support of VETMotorsports on this Veterans Day weekend. We want to thank Rob for showing up and representing. He’s our program manager in the Selma, Texas area and we could not have have a presence in Texas without his efforts.

Between the sanction/insurance fees that the SCCA National office allows to be donated, plus the cash donations from our event participants, PLUS the Texas Region SCCA Solo program matched the cash donations, the grand total being donated to VETMotorsports is $4,239!!!

TX Region SCCA Solo Event #9 Lone Star Park 11/11/18

Charity Event:
This year our charity event will benefit VETMotorsports. There are 2.8 million post-9/11 combat veterans in the U.S. Today, 22 of them will take their own lives every day. The mission of VETMotorsports is to stem this plague by involving at-risk veterans to experience the same rush of adrenaline, teamwork and close friendships that we enjoy. With your help we can show veterans another path and direction to enjoy time with others.

The SCCA Foundation and regional SCCA clubs have partnered with VETMotorsports to get these veterans to our Solo events. 100% of our donations will go to lodging, rental cars, food and other expenses to bring veteran men and women to our events.

Funds raised will go to support our veterans who wish to join us. If you’d like to make a further donation, we’ll also collect money at the Drivers’ Meeting and encourage you to visit www.VETMotorsports.org to learn more. Thank you in advance for your support!

Lots of fun.
WIerd figure 8 course from AAA
Here’s the fox 4 news story
Click the second story about Joey lagano.
www.fox4news.com/sports/texas-motor-speedway-prepares-for-big-race-weekend
That’s me instructing with the first student in the background. We didn’t get the texts because she had her phone on silent. Figured it out about the time the story ends.
Hopefully there’s some footage of Joey and I running the course. He kept trying to spin the car. Never gonna happen in that pig of a car, hybrid, without lots of water.

Did anyone hand out any Street Survival School flyers???
