Memories of my long time
friend, Steve Fenske
by Patt Buell
Steven Alan Fenske of Wakarusa, Kansas died
Monday May 13th, 2013 at the age of 58.
Steve was originally a member of
Nebraska Region SCCA. The
Fenske’s joined the region in the
mid-1970s driving a BMW. Steve
ran solos and became a Club Racing
corner worker. He also ran Road
Rallys and they brought Alissa to
her first Rally in 1980 when she
was about 6 months old.
Hi MidDiv SCCA Members,
It is time once again for FSAE Lincoln, June 19-22.
The SCCA Foundation is looking for folks who would
like to volunteer for all kinds of positions at this
years competition. Many colleges will be
represented including last years event Winners
University of Kansas (KU). I have attached the
article that was in our March SportsCar for you to
look at again and refresh your memory of FSAE
and the SCCA Foundations commitment to supply
volunteers for this event.
Each day of competition volunteers will be treated
to a continental breakfast, coffee and juice. and
lunch.
Friday night there will be a dinner for
volunteers sponsored by the SCCA Foundation and
a self paced tour of the Smith Auto Museum. This
is a chance to visit with other volunteers/friends
and see this amazing museum of car and car stuff.
Friday and Saturday are the dynamic events. These
events are performance events for the teams and
cars. We need grid folks, flaggers, timing folks (stop
watch back up) for Saturday, starter/s, black
flaggers, announcers for times, etc... Basically all
hands on board. These events require a lot of
volunteers.
Steve was very mechanical and was
always fixing friend’s cars, including
mine, and telling them how to make
their solo and race cars faster. At that time he
worked for Papillion Foreign Motors in Papillion, NE.
If you sign up soon with Kaley Zundel
( k z u n d e l @ s a e . o r g ) or Linda Duncan
(lduncan65@hotmail.com) you will receive a
registration packet with an FSAE T-shirt, schedule
of events, etc... The earlier you sign up the easier
it will be for Kaley and SAE to plan well for all of
the volunteers.

Don’t forget if you are making hotel arrangements
that SCCA has partnered with Holiday Inn Express
and a few other hotels which give SCCA members
at least a 20% discount.

Thanking you for your support in advance.

Word has it, Jerry Doctor has a
new co-driver navigating that
shiny red Corvette through those
pesky pylons. Jumping into the
driver’s seat is his son-in-law, Tim
Walter. Tim has been a member of the club since
2006 and is back on course to start a new season
of autocrossing.
Patricia L. Baker

husband, Jerry, ran Rallys. She was very active
in the club into the late 1970’s.
Preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Ruth

A Bit Of History:
-Tell us what you autocross and a little bit
about your co-driver?
I am enjoying auto-crossing right
now in a 2006 Vette within the
SS class. I have auto-crossed a
2006 Mustang and want to try
auto-crossing the 2012 Subaru STI
at some point, and perhaps a foray
into CP someday when life allows.
As to my co-driver, I think
everyone is all too familiar with my
car’s owner. Jerry has certainly left
his mark on the SCCA in his 40
years with the club and most of
you know more than enough
stories without me adding to the pile. Given the
fact that he holds the keys to the Vette (and the
STI), I think that is where I am going to stop talking.
I’m just thankful for the opportunity to get to go
out and play.
-How did you first get introduced to
autocrossing?
This car was an SSA car in the 1970’s, raced by
Billie Erxleben. Then owned by Patt Buell, now
owned by Barry Bean, retired State Patrol.
N E B R A S K A R E G I O N - E X H A U S T NO T E S
I first got into autocross through my wife April.
She had been a regular part of the SCCA from her
earliest years and was a regular in helping out with

(Leonard and Bonnie Janke are Snow Birds)
Traveling Arizona to California
Last Winter
by Bonnie Janke
Patt, Will start with a picture Joe Mayer sent to us
with his airplane. After we spoke to you about
Kathryn Buchanon, Leonard called Joe. We had
about a week left of our stay in California. Joe
thought he would
fly to Phoenix and
then could see
Bucky too. Then
the weather got
bad for flying, by
this time we were
in Arizona. Made
plans to meet Joe
at
Chandler
Airport, when we got an e-mail from him that he
needed to put new seals in gas tank of his airplane,
had to order seals, so another week. We went out
for dinner with Bucky, the talk was will we know
him (Joe)?
It’s been so many years - Bucky said “tell him to
wear a pink cactus in his lapel so we can find him.”
We told Joe that, so he sent pictures and said “no
pink Cactus.”
Then we talked to son, Harold, and he told us Frank
Safranek would be at his last day of driver’s school
the next day. So the next A.M. we are off to
Bondurant’s. Found Frank and Chris right away,
they were really surprised. Frank was just being
fitted with the formula car, and then was to go out
to practice. It was the easiest crew job ever. The
Bondurant instructor took care of his every wish.
We watched the sessions until lunch break.
Watch out for Frank this summer, now that he
knows the tricks. We really enjoyed our time with
them.
Off Track story
. . . continued
events despite never putting in much seat time
for herself. If not for
her willingness to
help take care of our
son and soon to be
daughter, I would
not be able to make
it out now and I
know she would like
to get more involved again. So a big shout out to
her.
-What are your favorite non-SCCA
ac t i vi t i es ?
Outside the SCCA, family and school tend to trump
all, but if time is allowed I have been learning to
play guitar for a couple years now off and on. I
like to go camping a lot, both modern and primitive.
Modern being tents and sleeping bags, propane
stoves, etc., primitive being a canteen, knife, and
flint.
-Dream car garage. What is in it?
1967 Shelby with the 427,
wet bar with a built in tap, a
solid stereo system, and
nothing else non-car related.
Camping gear? Put it in the
shed. Boxes of baby
clothes? Donate them.
Carpentry tools? Build an
add-on or lose the hobby.
There will be one more car
as well, but Dylan and I have
yet to discuss what it will be.
Tim anxiously awaits the day when he can watch
yet another family member cross the finish lights.
His son Dylan will be turning 5 next year, that
magical age to start junior karts. And there’s no
doubt that he will have himself quite a cheering
section. As Tim stated, “I am sure it will be exciting
for the whole family to see him get out there and
compete”. Speaking from the voice of experience,
there is nothing more exciting ……..… until the
day comes when your children start beating you
Due to the death of a very good friend of ours, we
had to leave Arizona for home, so did not get
together with Joe. He is thinking of coming to
Nebraska this summer, so hope to get together.

Memories of Steve Fenske . . .
While a member of NRSCCA, he was Solo Chairman
in 1980 and in 100% Club. He started racing a
1979 Silver RX7, SSA and was Regional Competition
Driver and also the winner of Nebraska Region’s
prestigious award, the Woody Dunn.
He was on the Nebraska Region Board of Governors,
Activities Director in 1981 and 1982. And was
Competition Director in 1986 through 1991. Steve
was a valuable member and contributed greatly to
our region.
Steve went
to Drivers
School and
became a
licensed
d r v e r .
The SCCA made the decision to replace the original
Renault drivetrain with a 1.9-liter engine and fivespeed transmission manufactured by the Ford
Motor Company. This change gave the SRF an
additional 10 horsepower. Ford Motor Company
started to provide a new drivetrain in 1994 and
the cars with the Ford powertrain renamed “Spec
Racer Ford (SRF).”
In 2005 he moved his race car building business,
Midwest Spec Racer Shop, to Topeka.
Most of the cars at Heartland Park were part of a
fleet maintained by Steve. He was in the Spec Racer
business for 20 years, first as a hobby and then
full-time.
He ran his first
S p o r t s
Renault at a
Solo. He let
me drive it.
What fun!
Steve Fenske, started his Midwest Sports Racing
business in Nebraska in the mid-1980s. Later he
moved to Osage City, KS in 1992. At that time
he changed the name to Midwest Spec Racer.
According to Wikipedia, Spec Racer was first
conceived as low-cost sports racing class by the
Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), in the early
1980s.
Patc Henry
told
me,
“Gary Quast
and Steve’s
company
w
a
s
appointed as
Customer
S e r v i c e
Representatives
for the Sports Renault program in late 1984 early
1985.”
N E B R A S K A R E G I O N - E X H A U S T NO T E S
Wikipedia also stated “the car was developed and
originally manufactured by Renault/Jeep Sport USA.
It was introduced into SCCA Club Racing in 1984
as ‘Sports Renault’.” After Renault bowed out of
the program in 1989, and the car was renamed,
‘Spec Racer’ (SR).”
“The bulk of his
business
is
maintaining the
vehicles and
transporting
them to a race
so they are
ready to go
when the car’s
owner shows up. The practice is called ‘Arrive and
Drive’ and it is common on both the amateur and
pro Spec Racer circuit.”
“Never satisfied with a
race car that was ‘good
enough’, he designed and
built his own prototype
race car from the ground
up and named it the
Fenske G2.”
He is survived by his
daughter and son-in-law,
Alissa and Kendall Smith
of Shawnee, Kansas; Sherry (Akers) Fenske of Ross,
Iowa; mother Arlene Fenske-Koons; brother Craig
Fenske of Las Cruces, New Mexico; sister Dona
Nixon of Yahatz, Oregon; nieces and nephews; and
too many friends to list in this obituary. Steve was
preceded by his father, David Fenske and his
beloved “Bro” Rufus.
