<CORSA Chapters> Donna Mae Mimms Award

[J R Read_HML]

Sarah,

I'm the proud owner of an autocross first place from the 2005 Iowa Regional. 
It has a pink "Donna Mae Mims Award" applique in the upper right corner. 
I'm not a female and I have absolutely no problem with the color pink. 
There apparently was no need for a rule change when these were awarded in 
2005.  So, why now?

Later, JR

Sorry Jaime....
I still stand by Donna Mae was a female and no pink stickers should go on a 
"guys" award regardless of what class.
As we all know we are trying to save time at banquets and we have so many 
awards now, we can't justify adding another award in.  There are many more 
who have passed on ( I know...this was started when she was still alive) 
long before Donna Mae that deserve an award and we aren't giving an award 
out for those.
I still stand by1 pick sticker for fastest time of the day for a lady.

All, Just a short note to clarify the DMM award. Bob Dunahugh has been 
promoting this award for several years now. The award will celebrate Donna's 
accomplishments as a competitive Corvair driver, and give an added bonus to 
those men or women placing first in IS-1,2,3, and 5 and the ladies classes. 
It is not meant to diminish the importance of the Don Yenko Award, just 
enhance the benefits of placing first in the aforementioned classes. The 
award will be a Pink metal appliqué, 1/2" X 2" with the words "Donna Mae 
Mimms Award", added to the trophy, or plaque, or whatever the first place 
award is. It can be removed if the person so wishes to. A petition was 
circulated at the 2007 performance workshop and 50 or so signatures were 
collected in support of the award. The motion also has the support of the 
Competition chair and his committee. It will be of no extra cost to CORSA 
for several years as Bob Dunahugh and another AutoX participant has 
generously agreed to purchase 100 of the appliqués. It will require a change 
in the AutoX rules book. It has been determined that all present AutoX rules 
books are gone so a reprint is eminent. This will be the best time to change 
any verbiage to the rule book. As all AutoX participants know a copy of the 
rule book is provided in the welcome packet at each CORSA International 
Convention for AutoX participants or can be found on the CORSA website. 
Thanks

Jamie Reinhart
CORSA Central Director
