OMRSCCA SOLO Event #2
Sunday, April 20th, 2014
Crowder Truck Driving School
Neosho, Missouri [Map]


Register Online!
[Click for online registration powered by MotorsportReg]
Additional MotorsportReg instructions and details here. Please pre-register online to save time on the day of the event.

Event Information Car Numbers and Classes
Car Numbers are exclusive for this 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 STC, you would not be able to use 76 even if you ran a different class). During pre-registration, if a number is not shown when it is time to choose, 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. Our friends at the Crowder College Trucking School usually grill lunch on-site at modest cost.

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 onto National Guard Drive just past the windmill, and follow the SCCA signs and cones to the site.

Run / Work
Typically, half of the classes run in one heat, while other other half help work the event. Then we switch after lunch. Work assignments will be balanced to ensure even work coverage for all stations in all heats. If you show up late to the event or late to your work assignment, you may not be allowed to participate.

If we have over 80 entrants, we will go to a three-heat format:
  • Work heat 1 / Drive heat 3
  • Work heat 2 / Drive heat 1
  • Work heat 3 / Drive heat 2
Crowder College has asked us to sign a waiver at every event in addition to the normal SCCA waiver. If you have access to a printer, please print and fill out a copy in advance so you don't have to stand around filling one out at the gate to the site.

I've got the course for this one.

Can I get a volunteer to help me set up Saturday afternoon (4/19)?

I need 1 - 2 people max.

Thanks.

Fun event. Great weather, and a healthy turnout. Thanks to everyone who participated, especially those who lent a hand with setup and other jobs.

The only black eye (figuratively, luckily) was a timing trailer chair failure during the second heat. Stuntman Stan survived thanks to excellent tuck-and-roll skills. Chair blackbox analysis is inconclusive on whether it was operator error or mechanical failure. I suspect the offending chairs will be retired shortly in favor of sturdier seating options.

I took a few pictures of the second heat, plus this morning. I'll try to share those here and on Facebook in the near future.

Thanks to the crew for all their hard work and Korry Berger for the course design. I had fun, placed dead last in my class and need to work on my driving.

Thanks everyone for a really nice event. A lovely spring day autocrossing....what could be better.

I like the way the heats are being run. It allows everyone to have a shot at the best conditions and gives a better accounting who is running better in any given class.

Korry, congrats and thanks for doing the course. It was nice to have some speed. The course allowed everyone to put their foot in it. Of course, some of us get less when we do put our foot in it. Ha! The results show that of the top 10 in PAX, all but two cars (Sam's and mine) were either V8s or turbos. Power definitely helped on this one but that's OK....it will all equal out over time.

Mark Foley, too bad about that cone on your final run.

Thanks again Matt for the great way you do the results.

I'm just surprised I had any runs where I didn't hit any cones. What a fun course. Thanks, guys!
