All at once, the hardest but most fun decision of the year (next to selecting Scholarship Recipient) is the RDC Annual Awards, but here they are and congratulations to them all:
The Most Improved Driver goes to Jonathon Allen in his Spec Racer Ford #40 for measured improvement over the year and that epic battle at the Laguna final Regional.
For Racing Good Guy or Gal, this years award goes to Gary Corsiglia for volunteering to step up and take over RDC points scoring and tabulation. And Gary has just been made the newest member of the RDC Board.
For the RDC Worker Performance Award, Marcy Crawford is this years winner for all of her work jumping in and helping to get the RDC Enduro up and running with some semblance of order, and then staffing the event until the final flag.
And finally, for this years RDC Presidents Award, RDC President Fred Peterson and the Board selected Sheryl Streets for all of the help and kindness she displayed for the months following Fred’s Thunderhill turn 2 incident, arranging for his car to be transported and helping his wife Jinny and the family get through the recovery.

We received this note from our 2012 RDC Scholarship winner Gary Corsiglia…and Gary looked pretty quick out there.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I can’t say it enough to the RDC board for awarding me the 2012 Drivers School Scholarship and what a fantastic time I had at Thunderhill Raceway. A physical, mental and rewarding way to spend my birthday weekend. Thank you to Mike Smith, Michell Hemus and Robert Sherod for the use of M&L Racing’s Miata #91 and keeping the car in great running condition. Thank you Bryan Nemy, co-driving student, for bringing the car off the track from the Group 1 sessions in the same condition it entered. Thank you instructors for sharing your knowledge and encouragement. Thank you fellow students for providing challenging dices during our Sunday sessions. Thanks to all the corner workers, emergency crews, for enduring the cold winds. Thank you Registration, T&S, Social, and Stewards for all that you do to allow us to race.
And finally Thank you to my wife Brigit who keeps telling me to “Go out and play in the traffic.”
See you at the track.

The RDC is pleased to announce that this years winner of the RDC Drivers Scholarship is Gary Corsiglia. We received some wonderful applications this year and the decision is always the toughest of the year, but Gary has a club history dating as far back as 1973. The scholarship will cover his tuition, and includes the use of a prepped car to attend the February school.
We want to encourage everyone who applied to reconsider again next year. We are so pleased to be able to offer it, and just wish it was possible to grant everyone’s wish. One thing we can do, is to say again how much we appreciate the contribution you all made to the Region this season; We hope to see everyone in the Spring.
