WE WON!!!!!!!!!

I just talked to Dave Deborde, RenoSCCA RE, who is at the SCCA National Convention. Reno Region SCCA won the following:

Best Divisional Event - NORPAC Divisional at Stead Airport July 4/5- Trophy

But that's not all. Remember when I brought up the idea of participating in the SCCA WRX Incentive program?

Dave confirmed it is public, drum roll please -----
WRX Incentive Program, Best Program Medium Sized Region - $750

WRX Incentive Program, Superior Effort in activating WRX members (57% retention rate vs. 8% national avg.) - USE OF A SUBARU WRX FOR 1 YEAR TO BE UTILIZED AS A PACE OR COURSE CAR AND PROMOTIONAL VEHICLE.

Dave needs to make some calls when they return from the convention, to find out the details of what this usage means. I won't hold my breath that we can use it for competition, but the car will come with a 'full decal package' (can't wait to find out what that means) and Reno scca will be able to take it to events.

Awesome, huh? More details as I learn them. Congratulations seccs members,

sperry · 2004-02-07, 04:06 PM

Nice work everyone!! I'd love to have a WRX for a "single car challenge" event, but something tells me Subaru/SCCA won't want their car beat on like that!

ArthurS · 2004-02-07, 04:08 PM

Thats so awsome! Way to go everyone.

ZER026D · 2004-02-07, 04:23 PM

Here's the email from Eric Gangloff and Dave Deborde for those of you not on the mailing list:

Quote:

Hello fellow Reno SCCA members,

Congrats to all who contributed to helping Reno Region win the three following prestigious awards at Nationals!

-Eric Gangloff

From Dave Deborde:

Reno Region Wins Big At The SCCA National Convention

Reno Region won three prestigious awards at the National Convention. First, we won first place and $750 for our Subaru WRX Membership program for medium sized regions. The Reno program is essentially a club within a club, in our case the Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierra's, which will become the template for other regions across the country. Congratulations to Debbie and all the Subaru Enthusiasts.

Next, we won the contest for the best retention rate. Reno Region retained 57% of Subaru WRX members compared with 8% nationwide. The 57% retention, by far the highest of any region, earned the region the use of a brand spanking new Subaru WRX for one year.

Finally, we were honored to win the award for the BEST DIVISIONAL SOLO2 IN 2003.

A great big thank you to all the members that worked so hard all year to make this happen.

Dave Deborde
Regional Executive
Reno Region, Sports Car Club of America

Way to go SECCS!

MattR · 2004-02-11, 12:37 PM

wow! It's really great to see the exposure, and appreciation, I'm very proud of our club and our region.
Excellent work Debbie, you are the one that got the whole WRX program rolling, and you deserve the majority of the credit.

Nick Koan · 2004-02-11, 12:59 PM

congrats guys!

now you need a dancing banana emoticon

dknv · 2004-02-11, 01:01 PM

Thanks Matt!
While I did the PR work to participate in this, this group built the content. imo we as a group deserve credit for this recognition, it's the group spirit that reaches out to new people, welcomes new people to meets, contributes information to share & learn by, and motivates us to keep doing it. And if it hadn't been for Scott (sperry), Matt (lagnwagn), Art (horsepowerforbrains) and other Reno area people back in Dec. 02 posting on nasioc/i-club, (whatever it was then), about Reno meets, I wouldn't have met up with you guys, and wouldn't have done any instigating (along with Scott) to get people out to auto-x. It's because we formed up, and because there is great chemistry and momentum in this group that I wanted to pursue the challenge.

MattR · 2004-02-11, 01:47 PM

Good Point! Congrats to everyone...
