I just wanted to wish everyone good luck and a safe and sucsessful race season . I am new member to the sccbc but do have a connection to the club  my father   ( Greg Schiewe am sure some of you knew him or at least his car ,it is a 1956 austin healey with a corvette 327 and a muncie 4 spd with 4 11 gears )      was a member and corner worker at westwood . My God Father Skip Alexander I believe was the treasurer at one time as well . So growing up my brother and I were track rats and loved the door to door racing we all enjoyed at westwood .My Father is gone now and i wish he was hrere to see his two sons race ( corvettes, zo6) together at rivers edge for the first time  this year  , but his legacy lives on and he is with  us at every race in our  hearts  . I will do all i can to promote our amazing sport and club to all who will listen. God I love racing ! Looking forward to seeing  all the friendly faces  at the track, everyone is so nice and willing to lend a hand it really does feel like a family. I also  would like to thank the executive commitee, techs  and all the turn workers and volunteers who with out we would not be racing ...so thankyou for all you do  :) to keep us all racing !   Todd Schiewe  01 corvette z06

Wow....what a great reason for racing.....I'm sure he's watching and will be extremely proud of you guys competing  together.  :) And please, keep the positive attitude you have throughout the season. It's awesome to see such enthusiasm.

Come and say hello at the "Vee Hive".

Congratulations and welcome.

Yes what a great post.....isn't that the perfect example of why we all love this sport so much?!!!

The track will be "buzzing" (get it.....buzzing.....bee hive??)  :o This weekend with driver training students.  Come on down and say hello and see the next crop of racers being groomed.

As a matter of interest, how many students are there this weekend?

I can relate to that 56 Healey with the 327.  Used to drive a 54 with a Corvette engine and a

BW 4 speed in the early sixties. Even did a novice race at Green Acres and a hill climb with it.

Those conversions were quite common back then.  Certainly wish I had it to-day.

WE still have Dad's Healey it has been sitting for 40 yrs and will be my next project after i finish my 65 fastback mustang this summer. My Father loved cobras so the healey was his poor mans cobra. Dads car is a 56 100m  pretty rare and worht a good dollar now , had he left it stock.I remember many a time as a kid sharing the front seat with my brother and cheeing our dad on as he beat up on all the vettes and other muscle cars back in the day . Fond Memories for sure!
