SPOKES 1-2-3 PUNCH!

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday season and is ready to get back into some serious Spokes activity!  To kick everything off we are gearing up to say ‘goodbye’ to the 2009 season and say ‘hello’ to the 2010 season with a  Spokes 1-2-3 knockout punch:  three weekends in a row!

First up is the Spokes 2009 Year End Party at Scholz Garten on Saturday January 23rd!  Doors open at 7pm and a delicious BBQ dinner will be served at 8pm.  After dinner we’ll be congratulating and awarding all of the Spokes Year End Champions, announcing Driver/Member/Rookie of the Year awards, and of course giving away the dubious Solex and Stromberg awards for other ‘outstanding’ achievements!  Entry to this party is no charge for Spokes members and $10-each for guests and non-members.

Just one short week later and we will be at Automotive Specialist in Round Rock for the Annual Tech Party and Membership Drive!  This is your chance to sign up to be a Spokes member for the 2010 season as well as get your Yearly Tech Inspection completed on your vehicle.  This year’s tech party date is Sunday, January 31st.  Thanks out to John Long and Dan Pedroza at Automotive Specialist for supporting us for this event and throughout the year.  Remember, this is on a Sunday this year, not Saturday!

And if Spokes parties and ‘bench racing’ are not enough to fulfill your autocross appetite then you’ll be pleased to know that the first Spokes autocross of the season is just one more short week after the tech party!  That’s right, Sunday February 7th will be the first Spokes autocross at San Antonio Raceway.  Online registration is already active on Axware for this event so go register already!

So, there you have it.  Three weekends, three great Spokes events.  Get your chores done, your car prepped, and your game face on because you do not want to miss even one event this season.  It’s going to be a great year!

SPOKES! SPOKES! SPOKES! SPOKES! SPOKES! SPOKES! SPOKES! SPOKES! SPOKES!
