Hello INR Members and Fellow Racers!
Happy New Year! It seems like only yesterday the cones were loaded into the bus for the last event of the year! Our awards banquet is less than two weeks away where we will recognize the efforts and successes of everyone involved in our 2014 solo season. As I sit here and write this, I think about what we accomplished as a group last season. Our region hosted nine events last year including what turned out to be the biggest Hoosier Challenge to date! We would like to thank everyone that pitched in and made 2014 a success, from the Solo Chair (Gabe), to the corner workers and everyone in between. Thank you to those that stuck around and made sure the van was loaded and every piece of trash was in put it its place.
All that being said, our 2015 schedule is starting to materialize. Keep your eye out on our website for details!
Regarding our membership meetings, we will resume our normal membership meeting schedule of the 3rd Thursday of the month at Schoops on February 19th, 2015.

I wanted to take a moment to recognize a few membership milestones. The milestones listed below are awarded a pin by the SCCA. Even though you may not see your name on the list, every member is important to us whether they have been with INR for less than a year or more than 50!

Each year, attendees of our events and meetings have the opportunity earn points towards our Dirty Dozen award. The points vary based on events and work performed such as registration, timing, grid, etc. Attending other clubs events, road racing or helping at road race events also count towards the award. At the end of the year, the INR members with the top twelve highest points earn the club's recognition for their efforts as well as other gifts.
Recently, the INR BOD decided that the dirty dozen should only apply to non-board members in order to recognize those who contributed to the continued success of our club.
Points have been finalized for 2014. To the right, I present our dirty dozen! For 2014, we elected to reward Dirty Dozen participants with a special gift which will be presented at the awards banquet. |
The current Dirty Dozen:
1. James Rose: 750
2. Steve Ruschak: 700
3. Keith Wilkening: 570
4. Kevin Kirchoff: 460
5. Jeff Jankiewicz: 450
6. Jack Wilkening: 415
7. Nicholas Zelisko: 280
8. Stuart Laks: 300
9. Matthew Leus: 280
10. Kevin Horecky: 270
11. Ron Spear: 270
