In 1972, Regional Championshipo a driver must r'un at least 50% of the championship Regionals. . Tr}a. new stock sedan cia.ss will be awarded Regional poirits since ther'e seems ,.tQ be a great number' of
competitor's .interested .in running this cia-ss.
All fire extinguisher.s in cars in 1972 will be Purple K filled op-the equivalent. GET RID of plastic attaching devices for extin-
guishers, for they will be illegal this year. Workers must have logbooks or better. if they want to wor.k SCCA
races in the i.uture. On the status of insurance rates for racing - I.ates will be basically the same as last year., but insur'ors have said if we behave ourselves this year, we should receiv`e considerable reductions next year. 78 w:2g:rs hurt 105 drivers hur't

Claims on workers are goinr down because dr'iver's ar`e evidently

Last year 307 drivers had problems. lie says no more last minute approvals ther.e will be a two-week waiting eriod. IrTSA cr'edit is no cr'edlt at all toward SCCA per'mits since I,TSA. has no. traininr? criteria and are basically out-law r]aces.
Jim Fitzgerald won first in C & D production. Bill I.'Iatzen picked up first in A pr.oduction in the South East National CharmionShip.
The solo events progr.am seems to be getting off its butt. Our Sistel' r'egion, Centr.al C`arolinas,. is going to have at least three

that the fir.St iegional will be ther.e in August. Bob Tomlin appears t.o be a ver`y nice fellow and str'aightforwar'd whenever` answering questions. His biggest problem seems i`. to be not enough time to do evertything. Please, competitors, i,^7rite
him`.a letter instea,a of bending his ear on the phone, which ties up a lot of his time in the eight hours he is at work. Chimney RQck Hill Climb is coming in r`'[ay, and .Union 76 has

could be kept in a binder and added to. It would first give all the basic flagging stuff , just like any other manual. Then there would be an Appendix section where more advanced correepts could be covered,like I,ake Erie's fantastic hand signal system.
|he Appendix could be added to at any time, with contributions coming from any interested flagger with a relevant topic. I would welcome any feedback on this or any other F & C matter that's hugging you.
PRAY for four races at VIR this year.

Sorr.y about such a late Januaky-Bapl.letin,` but` I `was unable to. ,get anyone to ser've as editor' and get .the Bulletin out ewlardy month.
We (the staff of the Bulleti.n makes no excuses) arte not triying to match Sport Car by becoming a historical publicatlonj but, IF we get the cupport, the Bulletin will become an upTto-date br'idge of communication from Denver t;o Region to' regioqal inembers (especially riember.s who are unable to reach meet,ings` because of dlstamce),
We will probably use second class mail 1n the future because of the outrageous. .cost, of„;fir-st: class®
This .will mean that ri-c;Pst rieriberis wl.1l
get the Bu,|let:ih in about three days. In past year`s, the Bulletin has operated in.the r`ed because of no financial suppor't through advertising. O.ne year in the past, it cost us seventeen hundred dollarts for the Whole year.
We will accept
advertising this ,year, for we (the staff) do not believe ln draining the tr`easury. Wr.ite the editor fort advertising rates. We have just heard some bad news about one of our outstanding members. 1,iJatts Hill, Jr., has recently suffered a mild heart attacte, and is now convalescing at home. We are hoping that 1`Jatts will be back into i;he swing of t,hings real soon. For those who didn't read =`=nveri Data, Watts has Just received the SCCA's highest awar.a,. the.`
1..7c.,1 f. Barmato award.
Some good news --we have tentative. plans for a replona| and a' driver's'."school at VIR,`jand possibly a!,.`seo.and ireg±onal i.f the first one is a Bud-d.es,S.

We havenot had time.` to''set up an agenda for. the next meeting, but we will cover the VIR race progr'am for 1972. Our pr'ogram will feature a film on wankel engines and a representative will be ori 'hand from l'`©zda of Raleigh to answer any questions. He will probably have one of these fascinating cars to show uS'::`'
The monthly meeting will be at a new place. Y.W.C.A. on Chapel Hill Street in Durham, N. C.
It will be at the On one side of the
RE's
Desk,
Cont.
Y. W. C. A. is the Holiday Inn (Downtown) and on the other side is Home Secur'ity Life Insurance Co.
If you come to Durham. on I-85, tur'n off I-85 at Gr.egson StreetDuke Street exit at Northgate Shopping Center. Go into the downtown al.ea on Gregson (one way str.eet).
The Y.W.a.A. is on the cor'ner of
Gr.egson Street and Chapel Hill Street.
After the meeting, you should
get on Duke Str.eec (one way) back out to I-85.
We would have had a
beautiful map, but I failed to tell chief that Duke and Gregson ar.e one way str`eets and this really screwed the chief.'s map.
I,\Je don't have
time to '6ut another stencil. The Chimney Rock Hill Climb will be run I.?ay 28-29.
Anyone who wants
to I.un t.his event should let me know ahead of time so we can get a solo license ahead of time.
About those member.ship cards -I haven't gotten mine either. They are coming, but Denver is Just getting settled down from their big move. Please be patient. See you at the meeting r`:ar.ch 7, 1972,

Ro Points
By:`, P; R. Chairman John Turner
First off, yes, I know the Bulletin is late but what can I say after. I've said I'm sorry? Even though it may be futile,1'11 throw in a few excuses for Poster.ity. Fir.st off, as PR Chairman, I've kinda been
volunteered as part of the Bulletin staff and am making an effor`t of sorts to contribute a little art work and maybe a humor.ous anecdote once in a while, plus being chief her.o navigating operator of the mimeogr.aph machine. So that explains partly the poor copies that you may be mulling. over rlf:ht nowj. We hope to get be€ter with experience so please bear with us 'cause we try harder.
MBuii::::#d:¥;f:1::8s'::::eE;t:::gr::::f:3:I::E:n::::: ;o:i::I:e::t:tot?: ) bodies?
And yes I said two.
So all in all, maybe we didn't do such a bad
job after all, but if anyone ~ and I mean anyone -would like to contribute
some spare times art work, written articles ort correspondence, PLEASE DO. Just rna,il them to Me or Lewis Gunter, whose addresses are on the fir'st page.
Lastly, many thanks to Bill King, Joanna George, Joe Go forth, Carl Amond, Ed and lv!ona Dir.lam and Bob Mul.I`ay for their contributions of time,
labor, or articles. Thanks and see you next month,
John
