Street Survival is back in South Bend (Apr 28, 2012) I4 young drivers and their parents from around the Midwest gathered at the Tire Rack in South Bend, IN for a day of Street Survival. It is one of a series of courses in safe driving created by the BMW Car Club and presented by the South Bend Region, Sports Car Club of America and sponsored by Tire Rack. Despite rain, wind and cold, the students learned some of the basics of car control that tested their own personal limits and those of the family car, while operating in a safe, controlled environment. The program goes well beyond the limits of most driver ed courses, but is concentrated into a single day of both classroom and on-track instruction. These events are conducted throughout the year in many communities and can help the young driver better understand how to deal with emergencies while on the road.

SBR Road Rally April 2012 (Apr 15, 2012) Thirteen cars and crews set out on a Destination Unknown SBR rally on April 15, touring SW Michigan from Elkhart, IN and stopping mid-course for several hours at the Gilmore Car Museum NE of Kalamazoo, MI. Other than occasional rain, no problems were encountered and all returned to the Villa Macri in Granger for a victory dinner. I've included some photos of the museum and its fabulous cars. Dennis and Patti Jennings were the winners, but there were no losers at this event. More photos can be found on William Loring's Facebook wall.

2012 Chicago Auto Show (Feb 15, 2012) On February 15, 2012 I took the South Shore train to my first Chicago Auto Show in over 50 years. I took my new little point & shoot camera and must apologize since some of the pictures are not first rate. I spent about 6 hours, most of it on my feet (ugh!) but had a great time. Lots of cars were of interest to sports car lovers, and even more that weren't too exciting to me (thus not in this album). And rode in a Toyota Prius-V that could parallel park itself! And tried Assistive Driving Technology from Continental Tire. I even took a virtual lap around Laguna Seca in the Mazda simulator. Fun! Enjoy.

Three Decades of Shirts Off My Back! (Sep 8, 2009) Since 1954 I have been a member of the Sports Car Club of America. Most of that time I have been a member of the South Bend Region. Since the 70s I have worked with a number of regions primarily announcing solo events. I also was a race worker and announcer at other auto events. During this time I amassed a number of T-Shirts, some polo shirts and some jackets. I thought I would photograph them to amuse you. 119 garments are shown in this album. Dates on some photos are guesses, names indicate the region involved. It has been fun and I still can and do wear them all!

River Bend & Eastern RR (Nov 25, 2011) Enjoy a visit to River Bend, Mountain View and Brenlyn as you tour the HO-gauge railroad of John & Carolyn Underhill. This remarkable construction took almost 20 years to create and is set in 1965 in the midwest with the New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads connecting the towns. It's a marvelous trip into the past. And the detail is truly awesome.

SBR Stages a Road Rally! (Oct 2, 2011) A total of 18 cars set out on the first South Bend Region, SCCA road rally in many, many years. Staged by Duane Belisle and Dennis Jennings, it was deemed a total success as all cars got to the finish. They explored the Wine Country of SW Michigan but didn’t stop to sample or stomp the grapes this time. The finish was at Beef O’ Brady in Goshen where every car with an SBR member won a gift card for entering.
