SECCS Geneology

[sperry]

Out of curiosity, I was thinking of doing a geneological tree of SECCS members. Basically, a record of who invited who to the board. So, post the name of the person that 1st told you about SECCS, and I'll compile it into a family tree!

For me: JC was the one that sent out that 1st email and got the original few together.

I can't remember but it was either You, Matt, or Preston that told me about the board on I-Club.

Well, pick one!

This will be interesting ...

Based on the original thread on i-club-turned-nasioc, I would have to say it was Matt R who extended the first welcome to me -- what do you think, Scott?

[ArthurS]

I am pretty sure it was Preston.

Quote from one of my first threads on NASIOC:

Well, you bought the right car, at the right dealer, and found the right forums to get all the aftermarket info you could ever dream of.....I'll see you at a Reno meet, if we ever have one

Nice find Debbie... re-reading that, it doesn't seem all that long ago, in fact I still remember almost all of that conversation! Hard to believe that was before any of us (except you and Dean) ever Autocrossed with Reno SCCA!

I think we'll be able to find some connections in that thread... which reminds me, if you found SECCS due to posts on another board like I-Club, pick the person from the thread you felt "most influenced" by to join. This isn't rocket science, nor really important... everyone's got to have some sort of "parent" in the tree...

But with your AWD gripping and your turbo spinning, you may survive yet! Forget not that Sierra St. is one-way, and crosses the mighty TruckeeDrell! The balrog cannot pass the waters of the TruckeeDrell, and he cannot go north on Sierra St! We will force the balrog to face his only fear, water!, or require him to go against the flow of traffic!! With this choice, he will fail, and we will reach the parking garage at 1st and Sierra!

Be strong all ye who temp fate to join the Reno Meet! And in the darkest hour, think... "what would Petter Solberg do?" and you shall have the light of a full bumper bar of HID pia lamps to guide your way!

Kostamojen, indirectly. He was one of the first i-clubbers that I met personally, and he's who first got me into autocross. After all the Sac events were gone, I came up here to autocross and met everybody.

While researching WRX's, I googled and came across some pictures of some guys on a drive, which led me to this site.

Sorry, you must be more specific, and identify the guys in the picture...

[LetItRev]

It was the group that took the LONGGGGGGGG drive that went up in Northern California, the coast etc. I think it was Scott and some friends.

Scott, Matt or Tyson. Those that steadily made their way to Sac events and I kept seeing that SECCS sticker on everyone's cars and had to figure out who it was.

Though, it was probably Scott that got me to move to Reno, at least. Made me realize that I could use a CompSci degree in Reno.

Hey, that drive was my baby! I still have the whole huge file of pics if you ever want it. Hopefully I'll be able to put together another one for next year.

JC sent me an e-mail way back, but he just gave me a link to some strange site that had nothing on it. I'm fairly sure Preston (imprezton) organized the few early meets I went to from BAIC on what was then i-club, now NASIOC. Whatever happened to that guy anyway? But Scott's the one that really got us going and told me about doink.net (SECCS).

[ArthurS]

Preston is in vegas now.

[tysonK]

Art totally snagged me from the COBB forum.

thanks dude!

[ArthurS]

[ShawnS]

Arthur told me about the group a couple of weeks after it had been created. My first meet was at your place Scott.

[sti deede]

sperry gave me a spotted card at my first autocross with the STi, although MattR was there too, I still give Scott the credit.
Thanks guys!

[qksubi]

Well I think I was originaly invited by fronz
But mike harris was the closer on the deal but fronz gets the credit
It has almost been a year ago it was sometime in january :shock:

[Nick Koan]

Haha, found my first thread from here

http://www.seccs.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=7572

Haha, I thought I was just going to be a semi-local lurker.

Hey guys,

This is my first post and I just wanted to introduce myself. I recently moved back in with my parents in Placerville and started to get to know some of the Sac scene people. Went to the first weekly meet in Sac as well as the last S-Squared BBQ. I remember hanging out with some of you at the last BBQ listening to the A's game from Scott's (I think) car. I was the asian (half-asian to be pendantic) kid w/ the sheared head. Good friends with Sybir (the guy w/ the Black OB thats totally stickered up) and I showed up to both of those meets with him.

Anyways, I've had just about as much of my parents as I can stand, so I'm moving this winter up to South Lake Tahoe. I figured since I was moving closer to you all, it might be a good time to register on all ya'lls nice little message board thingie you got going on here.

Hope you don't mind another lurker who may post occasionally

and a pic from the first meet I went to

[tysonK]

That's the first night I took pictures of a meet with my digicam! :wink:
