I was reading the clubs history.Quite enlightening. I liked this passage;

"COM President Peter Consiglio wins the SCCA A Production national title at the Runoffs, held at Riverside, CA. He won driving a 427 Cobra which miffed Chevrolet sufficiently that COM was dropped from their list of official Corvette clubs."

hehehe...

Good reading.

Why does the history date line stop at 2001?

It's a shame to leave such a gap in the clubs history.

Happy 50th birthday,COMSCC!

The Subarus invaded in 2002 and pissed everyone off.

The Subarus invaded and it got boring?

I remember when a Subie was lucky to make it to 80k without self destructing.(the wonderful 70's)
I had a thing for XT coupes,and have owned hundreds of cars but never a Subaru.
Usually competition makes one try harder and dig deeper(into ones pockets)

They are amazingly fast cars,but I just can't seem to lust for one.

Lets see of the roughly 158 track records for all COM classes- 135 have been set since 2001- when the club got boring.

I wouldn't care if every car in COM was a Subie as long as they let me out on the track with them

(<---me pointing by)

Granted,I'm a newcomer,but it seems to me the foundation of this club is about getting out on a real race track with your whatever car and testing ones own skills.

I sure wish I had learned about the existence of clubs like this years ago.

Well, never too late I always say

I'm looking foreward to this year!

Yes.

Me too! COM is still a "hidden secret" of sorts.

Heck yeah!

That's also about the time all the Miata's showed up!

To tie in Will's comment as well - I wish I had known about such things before as well. When I talk to people about COM, most of them are like 'WOW - I can drive my car on a race track?!' Seems there needs to be a better way to get the word out - and that may involve some flexibility around the rules for the 1st day driving school (regarding car classification/level of safety equipment).

This has all been talked about before.....

The BOD has been discussing it.

Yup, "flexibility" with students/first timers is an active discussion at meetings.
