How did you hear about COM?
Heard about COM
I picked up a flyer at the World of Wheels in '98 or '99 (I think from you Don).
It sat in the glove box until I ran open track for the first time with the Shelby club at Lime Rock in 2000. That was like the first taste of heroin for me; after that, I joined COM and started abusing my car regularly for fun!

back in the olden days......
I was signing up at the entrance for a BMW CCA school and picked up a COM flyer. I liked that there were all those track days. Back then, BMW only did one school a year. I think COM was also cheaper per day at the time, especially if I did 2 days in a weekend.
Where I found out about COM:
I found out about COM from my dad. I think I attended my first COM event at Bryar in 1982.
We still have a couple of mugs from the COM Turkey Trot Rally.

I guess you beat me Kevin, I came to my first COM event 9 years later in 1991. No internet then, just printed flyers. Dick Harding was buying steel to rebuild the front of his RX-3. I had the fortunate mis-fortune to screw up the order so he had to come back the next day. He was nice enough to bring one of the above mentioned flyers. So now I can say I've either driven at or instructed in at least one event every year since then. I'm not sure if I should be scared or proud of that.
Now here's another question - what percentage of active members were active members 5 years ago or 10 years ago?

I went up because of a friend of mine's brother (Joe Traut)needed help. 1992 or 1993. Went to a few events a year (drove some, worked mostly) for the next few years and then was "recruited" by Mike French for Event Ops in 1995. I then worked (did not drive!) almost every event for the next 6 or 7 years. I think I only missed 2 events between 1997 and 2001.

Add me to the list of people that found out about COM thru the likes of Will, Les, Lee and Gordon. Most of the blame probably lies at the feet of Will and Les though after listening to them talk about WG (I think) in the summer of '04.
