EDITOR’S CORNER
Things are starting to take shape. The club finished the CMGC Annual Business Meeting a few weeks ago and attending members received a good overview of what your club did last year. We also heard about the challenges set for this coming year. Swap Meet preparations are just about complete and the Driving Activities are being finalized. Autocross is again in the plan.

Many new and different events are being planned for this driving season. Check out the proposed calendar in this month‘s Driveline. There are a few open weekends that could be filled with that tour or rally that is in the back of your head. Let Jamie know – maybe we can make your idea a reality.

With the Spring Tune-up coming soon, it is time to think of what you would like to accomplish before the driving season starts. Let Dave Bralich know of your needs.

See you on the road...
