Register Online!
[Click for online registration powered by MotorsportReg]
Note: 2011 events will use online registration via MotorsportReg. Additional registration instructions here.

Event Information Car Numbers and Classes
Car Numbers are exclusive for the 2011 season, meaning only one person is allowed to run a number during the entire year no matter what class you are in (e.g. Car number 76 Matt L in ST, you would not be able to use 76 even if you ran a different class). During pre-registration if a # is not shown when it is time to pick your car # then it is already in use this year.


Amenities
There are gas stations, WalMart, and fast food on Highway 59 about a mile North of the intersection of MO-D. There is no air available at the site, so prepare accordingly. We anticipate making lunch available on-site.

Directions from Springfield
Take I-44 to US 71 South, and exit at Highway 60 Neosho/Seneca. Go East to the light at US 59/71B (WalMart will be on your right). Turn right to go South on 59, and follow the signs for Crowder College and Highway MO-D. Turn left onto MO-D, and it will take you straight to Crowder College. Once you reach the stop sign at the entrance of Crowder, turn right onto Doniphan and head towards the windmill. Turn left just past the windmill, and follow the SCCA signs and cones to the site.

Run / Work
If we have over 80 entrants, we will go to a three-heat format based on a first-come, first-served basis:

Work heat 1 / Drive heat 3
Work heat 2 / Drive heat 1
Work heat 3 / Drive heat 2


Work assignments will be balanced to ensure even work coverage for all stations in all heats. If you show up at the last minute, your choice may be full. If you show up late, you will not be able to participate at all!

See you there!

I would like to come, but I currently have no tires for the Focus and no money to buy new ones. Would anybody be potentially looking for a codriver? Obviously we would come up with compensation. :)

If you're desperate, I might be able to offer a ride in F Stock. I will know for sure about a week before the event. It's rocking rubbish street 245s on a very heavy car.

Otherwise, can't wait to get out there, see you all on the tarmac!

I thought Kenne Bell was your new full time co-driver as of this season?

Made sense to me given the last names. :P

Registered in STR. Hopefully changing rear springs to get rid of a push problem. This is gonna be the year we switch from one ridiculously competitive national class to ANOTHER ridiculously competitive national class, that can't even be a "NATIONAL CHAMPION" at nationals, until MAYBE next year. Oh well. :lol:

Online pre-registration closes at 11:59 PM on Friday evening.

Please pre-register. It saves you, the registration volunteers, and everyone in line a lot of time.

Also, SCCA members get a $5 discount on their entry fee for pre-registering online.

I know an event isn't necessarily cancelled for rain, but what if it's a thunderstorm?

I have to work Sunday, unless it rains out the bracket race. Depending on what time that might be I might try to make the auto-x.

There is a "Lightning Rule" that puts a halt to the festivities, but otherwise: come prepared for a Deluge. There may be disposable ponchos available for a small donation - but don't count on it.

Is there anyone that could be at the event fairly early (7:30 timeframe) to be the 2nd person at the waiver station, the early morning to Drivers Meeting shift? Natasha won't be at this event so we could really use the help at the gate, and remember this counts as your work assignment for the day.

Remember everyone today is the last day to pre-register and even if you are a little on the fence whether you can make it or not, then you really should go ahead and register anyways (there is no penalty for not showing up if something comes up). Really there are only advantages to pre-registration:
  • 1. $5 discount for SCCA club members
    2. Much shorter time in line at the registration trailer
    3. You get to reserve your car # and you will be using it all of 2011(members that ran with us last year already have their # reserved)
So, we should all be sure to bring plenty of rain gear (my hope is that if we all show up prepared the rain might hold off) and come on out to have a good time on Sunday.

Results will not be posted tonight (I need to verify about 5 persons first runs and do not have the back up timing scoring sheets with me). I apologize for the delay but I hope that we can get it straightened out and posted in the next couple of days.

Korry those were great videos, and I especially liked your line into the short slalom after the 180. It's really close to what I had in my head, but I just never seemed to get there. Congrats on the Top PAX for the day, and thank you for setting up such a fun course.
