Message from Inland Empire Chapter President Chris Brown

What a great season 2011

Busy with activities this year such as. Sovern races and car corral, the tech session,
the river dance drive and the Yellowstone tour were all outstanding for the participants.
But my highlight in Spokane was the return of the driving school. We were able to get 5
volunteers out on the tack by redeeming their earned credits thus enabling them to take
a school. The paying students helped balance out the four run groups and all had
smiles on their faces at the end of the two day event. Unfortunately, the school was a
financial hit to the club and we are strategizing now to come up with better ways to put
together schools in the future that are fun, educational and solvent financially. The
Inland Empire driving school is the most economical way to get out on the track
and learn from some of the best instructors in the northwest. We thank Scott Adare
and Steve Cassel for making it happen.

Several of us under Ken and Elwanda Groves tutelage had a great time in the volunteer program participating directly to
facilitate the school. All in all, with fair weather over our heads, it was a great day to be an IE BMW club Member.
We will be having meetings in the next few months organizing next years events, if you have ideas and / or time to participate
and want to get involved-Lets here from you.

As always,
Stay warm, get your winter tires on and take care.
