Next Glen Region SCCA Autocross Event #8 Sunday October 20th: Tim Meddaugh Memorial Championship Finale at Watkins Glen International Media Lot – Matt is event Chair
Who was Tim Meddaugh? Tim was a long time Glen Region SCCA member who passed away this year. Timmy was an SCCA member who pretty much did all aspects of the club (participating, officiating, board, etc.) and you may have seen him flagging the Formula 1 races at Circuit of the Americas, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve-Montreal recently and at the Glen for many years. Tim was a fun person who has been very generous with the Glen Region SCCA to allow all of us to have an easier time to enjoy motorsports. Tim loved to hang out at the corner of the famous winner circle bar at the Seneca Lodge to bench race with the patrons with the one or two Genesee Beers and a hot dog.
We will celebrate Tim’s life after the Season Finale at the Seneca Lodge with a Genesee and have hot dogs earlier. Let’s end the season with a fun time this weekend!

Be a part of Watkins Glen racing history to enjoy the bar and restaurant that the winners from Formula 1 to Sports cars to Indycars to NASCAR to SCCA go to Sunday night to celebrate the winner! A great way to end the racing season and have some fun with friends and talk about how much faster you would have been with one more lap….
Fun at the Brubaker family racing shrine.

Next Glen Region SCCA Autocross Event #5 Saturday August 23rd: Pat Scopelliti Memorial Championship Finale at Watkins Glen International Media Lot – Mark/Leonard are event Chairs
Who was Pat Scopelliti? Pat was a long time Glen Region SCCA member who passed away this year. Pat was recently known as a Safety Steward to younger people, but Pat also ran autocross for many years in a variety of cars - Toyota Celica, Nissan 240SX, Hondas, and most recently full blown fast racing karts. He also did track days in his Ferrari 308, which also used as the sweep car for the Grand Prix Festival
