were the hard working KCRPCA Board.
As is tradition, the sitting president gives a token of his appreciation to the chairs and board members. This year’s award was a very nice KCRPCA bottle of wine.
We always take time to thank our fea- ture sponsor Aristocrat Motors, and let them speak to the crowd. Robert Hell- weg introduced the team from Aristocrat and then announced he had a surprise gift. Robert had picked out 2 members
has the privilege of presenting the Ron Kitchen award. Ron was a KCRPCA club member who held numerous po- sitions within the club, but his passion was racing. He succumbed to a medical illness, but stayed in high spirits till the end, never letting his enthusiasm for rac- ing waiver. The Ron Kitchen award goes to the club member who shows the most spirit and dedication to KCRPCA’s track program, in memory of Ron. Every year there is one stand out member. This year it was Ric Smith. Ric not only helped
with track events, but he also recently went out and became a certi ed instruc- tor. His services were used at both the spring and fall DE events. Way to go, Ric; we are proud of you.
The evening wrapped up with the intro- duction of the 2018 board and chairs. We have three new board members: Dennis Butler, Mike Rehak and Mike Lemoine. I’m highly con dent in this group and I expect great things for 2018 and beyond.
It is hard to believe I will be handing off the Helmet of Authority to Agelon “T” Jones at the next ceremony. Maybe he will let me wear it once in a while.

from KCRPCA who, over the course of the year, have shown a great spirit of giving. They were there when cones needed to be picked up at autocross. They volunteered to be sweeper on the fun runs. They lled in, giving of their time, to make other club member’s time more enjoyable.
Robert called Agelon “T” Jones and David Stadtmueller up and presented them both with a ticket to the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta! Applause and cheers were given to two very de- serving club members. Thank you, Rob- ert; the gifts were very kind.
Then it was Bob Wayman’s turn. Bob
