Our activities kickoff of the driving season was the very successful Spring Ramble sponsored again by European Performance Engineering. This year we traveled to Stowe, Vermont where we all enjoyed the comforts of the Topnotch Resort. Bruce Hauben and Murray Matthews took over the event from retiring Ramble Chairman Russ Merriam. I would like to congratulate them on a job well done.  I know it was difficult to fill Russ's shoes.
 
The Track committee has unfortunately had to cancel our second scheduled track event. This time the elements may have done us in again as Rauch Creek will not be ready for our event in June. When our track chairman made the latest of what seemed to be a weekly call to the management at Rausch Creek they finally admitted that the roadbed had yet to be constructed for the track. Presumably due to the harsh winter we experienced. For those of you who are looking forward to driving this new track our Track Committee will be considering scheduling an event for next year.  If you have any thoughts on this please let me know.
 
By the time you read this Bruce Hauben and his wife Joyce should have had another successful Breakfast run. My wife and I attended the first Hauben tour last fall and were very happy with the roads Bruce mapped out for the day. If you enjoyed Bruce's last tour and were fortunate to be able to attend the Ramble I'm sure you will make time for this tour as well. Bruce is planning to take us from Inskip Porsche in Warwick, Rhode Island to Mystic Connecticut where we will stop and have brunch.
 
Although not a Northeast Region event you may want to consider checking out the Rennsport Reunion being held at Limerock Park the last weekend in July. Legendary Porsche racecar driver Brian Redman who organized the "Double Fifty" event in 1998 at Watkins Glen has also organized this event as well. I was able to attend the Double Fifty and I can strongly suggest this as a summer must see. 
 
My wife has recently decided that we need to have a sport that has nothing to do with a motor!  Last weekend she made me hike Mt. Monadnock in Jaffrey NH. If any of you have any suggestions on how to get up these hills with something other than my feet please let me know.
