I know nothing about the "Trifecta" they mention. Anyone have any ideas?

man, i wish...

I think it means that you win your class at a regional, Challenge, and Nationals? I don't think they count a divisional win, since not all divisions are doing that (or they are co-opted as a Challenge).

Taking Nationals in PF would be an uphill battle, since there's already some serious talent and a few decently prepared cars. I am going to try for the Nebraska Challenge, though!

Sorry - I didn't get back and clarify this: Jan Gerber explained to me that THIS particular "Trifecta" was merely a social event. The track has dirty-round races on Friday, and for $20 you pick the winner of each of the three "Header Races", and win $2000.

Ha, I thought you were talking about the proposed Solo-like triple crown that I can't recall where mentioned. Maybe the RallyCross section in an old FasTrack?

Congratulations to OMR's own Jim Rowland, for taking the SCCA Rallycross MiDiv/National Challenge Championship in Prepared FWD!

Jim was leading the PF pack by nearly 9-seconds after Saturday's Heats, and extended that lead to nearly 14-seconds over 2nd-Place by the end of the event on Sunday.

It was a Massacre..... (but incredibly fun to watch and participate!)

If you see him at one of our events, be certain to extend your compliments for a job Well Done!

Jim posted a total time of 687.434 sec. with his Nissan Sentra SE-R.

Scott finished Third in the same class (Prepared/Front Wheel Drive) at 709.387, and wife, Jeanie, placed Fifth at 815.596.

The Creech family competed in a Hyundai Veloster...not to be confused with a Yugo Velociraptor or, for that matter, a Borgward Piranhaconda.

I actually held-onto 2nd through Day 1 - but Bob had a bit more determination (and I believe a bit-more disregard for the car) than I did on Day 2. Plus, I drove like a total Idiot.....

Then, there was the Heat where everybody was neck-and-neck:

"What'd you get this run?"

"I got a 44.2-somethin"

"Wow! Me Too! Hey man, how'd YOU do?"

"44.286, but it felt slower than that"

"Waaaaaitaminnit here......."
