<CORSA Chapters> Donna Mae Award

[Gary Swiatowy]

Personally,
I would be honored if I was ever to achieve such an award!

Not llikely to happen though, because I'm a wannabe as far as racing goes.
I find it a blast to autocross, though I'm not prepared or competitive 
enough to achieve an award of this type.

But,
In my humble opinion, this does not detract from the distinction of a Yenko 
award.
It is "in addition" to!
Our elected officials have proposed this.
I see no detriment to the status quo.

It's a sticker, if you don't like it, peel it off!

It's not costing me, or CORSA any money, and it is in honor of one who raced 
Corvairs in her career.
And it is something honoring the role of women in racing.
By the way, the Buffalo Transportation Museum has established the Automotive 
Women's Hall of Fame!

For those of you who do not know, The Buffalo Transportation Museum is also 
the latest destination of artifacts of the Corvair Preservation Foundation.
Maybe someday, Donna Mae Mims will be included in this Hall of fame.

I support it!

> This motion also renames the first place awards for the ladies classes for

>
> This motion also requires a small 1/2" x 2" label to be added to the 
> trophy or plaque for these awards. The label will say "Donna Mae Mims 
> Award" or something similar and have a pink background.

> That's it....
> Is everyone against this motion?
