st 2 out of 4 deciding overallpoints at our Grattan Grand Finale with end o=
f season awards. On the safety aspect of our racing I have observed less an=
dless hand signals from Group 2 with our Spridget Group doing a little bett=
er,but there is always room for improvement.=C2=A0I would like to remind al=
l of us to use hand signals, which allows forsafer racing by letting the ov=
ertaking driver know you are aware of him andpointing him by.=C2=A0=C2=A0 T=
he acknowledgment ofthe hand signal is more important than the actual direc=
tion you are pointing themby.=C2=A0 The pointing direction that you wantthe=
m to pass, may not always apply depending on what combination of turns arec=
oming up, but it does show you are aware of their presence.=C2=A0 It is alw=

Subject: SMRS Gingerman Weekend May4-7

I hope everyone's Spridget projects are progressing nicely for updates and =
repairs in time for GMan.  This is going to be a great season.  I have atta=
ched the same copy and pasted information below for a better print out if n=
eeded.

SMRS (Sprite Midget Race Series) 2023 Season Start
(revised March 26, 2023)
April 29-30 Driver School and May 4-7, 2023 Gingerman Race
 Highlight Plan / Agenda
Summary:  This is our opening race of the season and SMRS and 65th Annivers=
ary for Austin Healey Sprite.  This is a great time of year to have fun wit=
h all those friends you haven=92t seen for a while.  It also allows you to =
get back into the groove (literally racing groove) in the Beautiful South H=
aven Lake Michigan Resort Area among the dandelions and flowering fruit tre=
es.  We will have 4 races this year (Gingerman May 4-7, Blackhawk June 16-1=
8, Grattan 11-13 and we will add Waterford Hills July 21-23) with the best =
2 out of 4 deciding overall points at our Grattan Grand Finale with end of =
season awards.
On the safety aspect of our racing I have observed less and less hand signa=
ls from Group 2 with our Spridget Group doing a little better, but there is=
 always room for improvement.  I would like to remind all of us to use hand=
 signals, which allows for safer racing by letting the overtaking driver kn=
ow you are aware of him and pointing him by.   The acknowledgment of the ha=
nd signal is more important than the actual direction you are pointing them=
 by.  The pointing direction that you want them to pass, may not always app=
ly depending on what combination of turns are coming up, but it does show y=
ou are aware of their presence.  It is always the overtaking driver=92s res=
ponsibility to complete a safe pass.  I have copied and posted the criteria=
 for the =93Jim Donato Most Respected Driver Award=94, which we encourage t=
o set the proper attitude and goals for a safe weekend.
Jim Donato Sprite Midget Race Series Most Respected Driver Award (Traveling=
 Steering Wheel Award) Criteria:
I.                    Predictable / Trusted (uses mirrors, points faster ca=
rs by, passes safely and allows others room to pass and is always a defensi=
ve driver over competitiveness, stays on racing line except when car failur=
es would leave fluids on track)
II.                  Objective (listens to others and approaches concerned =
drivers with openness.  Can sit down with any driver and feel comfortable t=
hat he did the right thing when on the track)
III.                Observant (looks forward to observe incidents and flag =
stations, inspects car between sessions for safety to avoid causing acciden=
ts to others on track.)
IV.                Respectful (Avoids Red Mist, which is identified as an e=
motional win at all costs attitude and maintains Vintage Spirit Philosophy)
Agenda (tentative, please verify these times when you get your  race packet=
):
Thursday is a class day in the afternoon for Driver School Students.  Frida=
y is the on Track Day for Students.  We have always done a great job suppor=
ting new Spridget Drivers with advice and mechanical help to keep them runn=
ing throughout the weekend.  Please let me know if you can assist.

Thursday May 4 (Set up)

lcome to join us as well.
=95         I will attempt to secure our typical paddock space, which you w=
