    CRRC-CMRA Archives...

    While I was talking to one of the industry leaders today, something came up that is flat out scary. There are very few people in the CMRA left that really have witnessed what has gone on within the club for any extended time.

    To me, this is a not so good thing. I am a firm believer that if you don't know the history of yourself, you can't use good judgement in your future decisions.

    I am working on putting all of the newsletters I have on-line. I have newsletters from 88-2002. I am missing most of 94 & 95 as I was too broke to race and had to watch for 2 years while I financially bailed myself out.

    In a few weeks, I am going to ask for any newsletters that I don't have from older members (Sorry, if I am asking for it and you got it, YOU ARE OLD [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] ) I think this will give a lot of members perspective on what really went on. I am trying to get all pages with Race Reports, Ads, and Commentary scanned in, but I probably won't be able to get the actual results sheets in as it takes 600DPI scanning and at 8x12, the files get too big.

    Here is your link, my goal is 2-3 newsletters a week. have fun reading:

    OK, computer crashed 3 days after I started this. Finally have the scanner back up. Good news now is that I can scan (and read results).

    This latest one is from 1989. It has some really neat articles (season wrap up issue).

    Names to look for

    Sam McDonald
    Luther Lowman/Mike Jones (Team Smoke, now racing again)
    Jeff Harder (NOT JEFFREY, Jeff) - See "Team Mad Dog" ad.
    Larry Bauer (Yep, same Larry)
    David Hirsh
    Phillip Fisher
    Joe Prussiano (novice)
    Eric Falt

    Also read the Race Director's report (TMGP people will recognize Dennie Spears name [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] )

    Lastly, look at the club news versus today's club news. CRRC/CMRA has come a long way indeed, although we still had problems getting results in ARM (JU was editor there too! [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] )

    There are a total of 12 pages. (Photos 32-43)
