CHECK OUT PIR UPCOMING EVENTS Portland International Raceway Scheduleor download the complete 2013 Schedule (PDF) ?Around the Track? By Mark Wigginton - PIR Track Manager ? ? The days are getting longer, the rain a little warmer, so racing season must be just around the corner! ? The schedule is looking good and the roster of familiar events is coming together, with full seasons for drag racing, road racing, motocross, cycling and a whole slew of new running events. ? In April the PIR Auto Swap returns, which is a great place to look for a project or the bits you need to complete the project already in your garage. 1500+ booths all the way around the track brings lots of swappers every year. And we will have the second Fall Auto Swap in September after a good start last season. ? The Rose Cup returns June 14-16, and the Rose Festival has been working hard to bring some interesting new things to the track this year, plus the always good racing. ? The Portland Historics moves to the week BEFORE July 4 for the first time this year, and we are looking for big vintage grids, as well as some surprising changes that should make it all a bit more posh. ? Sadly the NASCAR weekend won't return in 2013. The racing was great, but the crowd wasn't keeping pace with the racing. It's a sharp lesson to remember: if you don't support the racing by buying a ticket, there is only one direction things go. ? SOVERN's Columbia River Classic and the All-British Field Meet are back for Labor Day weekend, plus there is a full slate of OMRRA, SCCA, Cascades Sports Car Club race weekends filing out the calendar. There is even a new sanctioning body, NASA, doing two road race weekends. Check out their offerings, as they blend high performance track day style events with racing. ? In the past couple of years PIR has been discovered by the running crowd, and we will host several 5k fun runs this year: The Electric Run, Rugged Maniac, Kiss Me Dirty, and several more are on the calendar, including the return in September of the massive Color Run (16,000 runners at PIR last year!). Also, look for an announcement on PIR's redone website on the newest event, a really unique running event, the weekend of July 20-21. ? See you at the track. ? ?______________________________________________________? ? ?? Ladies & Gentlemen:? Get Ready to Start Those Engines! By Carol Brown ? ?

I realized that even age could ne be a discriminator for membership. Basically, a club is in a position of saying we are a group that enjoys a certain thing/activity, in our case Lotus, we offer the a number of services/insights related to the topic and have banded together to promote/expand related services. If you are interested ? join. The corollary is also true. ?If you are not interested in what we do and how we do it you do not have to join and we will go on without you. It is odd how our culture has changed so dramatically over the years. ? Tom ? ? ? From:Tom Styczynski [mailto:vintagerace at verizon.net] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 7:49 PM To: 'Mark Velky' Subject: COMMENTS LOTUS CLUB NW CONSTITUTION/BY-LAWS ? Mark, ? When I read the by-laws I could understand why you are concerned that they are outdated. I chaired both the Mid-California and Baltimore Sections of the Society of Automotive Engineers plus I served as an officer/board member of several Sports Car Clubs and realize that a 10% participation by members is extraordinary. Recently, I wrote the business plan and interface contracts for a start up in New Jersey. I am noting this experience to give you a background for the comments. Please consider the input as a first cut to the final document. ? Tom Styczynski ? ? General: -????? I was looking for a place to define the privileges of membership. Something like for the dues payment members receive a membership card, decals, access (via club listing) of members/cars, right to vote for officers, club coordinated discounts, newsletter, website, e-mail notification, etc. -????? Terms need to be consistent. For example members are noted by the term General Membership and Club Members. It makes one look for a definition for each level of membership. ? Purpose: -????? First line ?.among Lotus Marque Enthusiasts in the state of Oregon and surrounding region. (The document later notes that directors serve Northern/Southern regions I could find nothing in the front of the document that defines the projected territory) -????? Second line ?historic significance and continued production of? -????? Third line recommend The Lotus Club North West seeks to supply technical assistance, parts/service sources, and share Lotus marque knowledge through general meetings and planned club events. ? By ? Laws -????? The first two lines notes both corporation and organization. I believe it should say organization in both places. -????? I believe there needs to be a line describing the difference between member and officers. I would suggest that the member definition include verified dues payment and officers are nominated by/from membership. -????? Third line ? The Club membership shall? ? Affiliation -????? When I read this I wondered why and to what benefit to the organization and members is the affiliation. This should have an added line defining the terms of the affiliation. ? Balloting/Elections -????? Second and third paragraphs need a complete rewrite to vote by the internet. This will probably require a ballot electronically sent to each member, appointment of a ballot chairman and creation of a link to the website to vote anomalously. ? Dues -????? As a non-profit shouldn?t the assessment of the dues be defined to establish a financial base of operation budget estimate? With the earlier the definition of members as shareholders requires the an accounting of distribution of profits, beyond the operation base. ? Membership Qualifications -????? I am an engineer, not a lawyer, but I believe you can no longer disqualify a member for cause unless a specific membership criteria was violated. For example, technical societies have reasonable criteria in their scientific and technical exchanges. Age is reasonable at a minimum. Our discriminator is the specific marque. -????? Members join because the club offers something they want. This is a good section to define the benefits of membership. Examples are in the General section. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Mark ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Douglas Jackson To: ELCC Members Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2013 3:03 PM Subject: [ELCC] West Coast Lotus Meet... Hello again: A couple of ELCC members have asked me about the hotel accommodations we have arranged for the West Coast Lotus Meet (WCLM) this summer, so I'll list them below. The Red Lion Hotel in Bellevue was chosen to be the "Host Hotel" during the WCLM and their phone number is (425) 455-5240. We have arranged to reserve a "block" of fifty rooms there at a discounted rate of $100/night and they've said that if we need more than this number of rooms, they will be able to expand the number. Plus, they've also said that people can stretch this same discounted rate three day/nights before and after the basic WCLM (July 4th-7th) if they'd like to... be sure to mention that you will be a participant in the West Coast Lotus Meet. You might like to keep in mind that the "Welcoming Cocktail Party & Dinner" of the WCLM will be held at the Red Lion Hotel and we'll probably gather there each morning during the WCLM before heading off to the various events and activities. Plus, they have a really nice big parking lot area which they will cordon off for us, and there is a washing station that will be available to us throughout the WCLM. You might like to know that there is a Hilton Hotel and a Sheraton Hotel right nextdoor to the Red Lion, if you'd rather stay in one of these hotels. We have not arranged for a discounted rate at either of these hotels, but, as you can imagine, they have to have pretty competitive rates. The phone number at the Hilton is (425) 455-1300 and the phone number at the Sheraton is (425) 455-3330. Of course you can find out all of the rest of the information about the 2013 WCLM by keying in?? elcc.org/2013wclm?? on your computer and you'll see the special website we've set up for the event. And don't forget about the Western Washington All British Field Meet that's scheduled for July 27th. Just key in?? abfm.com?? on your computer?? and up will pop the website of that event.

I've paid attention to clearances around the trunk area and there's maximum clearance at driveshaft and alternator. Why "Lotus" original name? *_PLEASE_*, why "*Lotus*" original name? I know Chapman letters "ACBC". But why "Lotus" name? It is very simple for fans. I fins this info. *THANKS!* Tony's Elise V2 First off I want to thank all of my friends and all of the members here on LT. There would have been no way I could have undertook this entire process without the assistance and advice of you guys. You all are amazing, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The last several months have been stressful. Countless 4am nights and this last night I did not sleep at all, but finally I was able to drive my Elise again this morning, and she'll be completely back to 100% by this Friday :D For those of you that don't know, my Elise was damaged by a tire shop about 4 months ago. At it again. TheChazz Winter thread Time for the winter tear-down! Have had a few small and major issues come up I want to fix as well and cleaning up some of the wear and tear.

Fix a small crack in the bottom of the front clam Touch up paint Replace Front and side rocker panel paint protection. Tinted the Elise Received the car back from my tint guy. I told him to have fun with the back window. I have to say he has some mad skills. And yes, you can actually see through the entire image. Might be a bit garish for some, but I think it looks pretty good. Corvus My custom steering wheel So I had my steering wheel re-wrapped in alcantara with orange stitching. I had Redline goods do it. (I had gotten alcantara shift and e-brake boots from them and decided to have them do my steering wheel to match.) I love it, it came out great!
