Reserve your spot by registering now!]]> March 2009 "RE Rantings" with Steve Demeter http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=153 Solo event is just weeks away and Frank has a great schedule set.   The sanction for the National Rallycross has been applied for.   The WOR Games Committee, under the guidance of Chair Steve Colletti has started the long process of putting the race together.   And Bluegrass is hosting a Trans AM the week before the WOR Games. This will provide an opportunity for any issues that would come up with a new track to be found and fixed before our race.   I just received an e-mail from the Cincy Region PDX committee that the track has been approved for their May PDX. So things are progressing nicely.   Kudos to Jim Hardesty for coming up with the idea of meeting at Champs. There has been grumbling about changing the meeting location for a while and Jim is the first one to actually do something towards that end. A good time was had by all. The March meeting was the largest turn out in many months. Also thanks to Mike Wright for standing out in the cold at the Christopher Club with maps to Champs in case anyone did not get the word.   Please remember that there is no ill will towards the Christopher Club, but simple economics dictated this change. The room at Champs costs the region nothing.   Dave Rudy with help from his lovely wife is continuing work on the awards banquet. Should be a very special event.   Great job to all.  ]]> Tuesday Membership Meeting Moved! http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=152 Champps Restaurant. The start time will continue to be 7:30 p.m. Champps is located about 1 mile east of the Dayton Mall at 7880 Washington Village Drive. Visit our meetings page for an interactive map. Go in the front door and turn left to the party room. The first round of drinks and appetizers are on us.

WOR encourages everyone to attend early and have their evening meal at the restaurant before the meeting begins.

Rick Docken]]> Solo Nationals To Move To Lincoln Nebraska For 09 http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=146
The Solo national championships have experienced tremendous growth, welcoming nearly 1,200 drivers. The event's success has been linked strongly to the central location and hospitality of the Topeka community and excellent facilities offered by both Forbes Field and Heartland Park Topeka. For 2009 however, it was clear that the continued expansion would require a new venue, the SCCA said in a statement.

"The Tire Rack SCCA Solo national championships [have] had a great home in Topeka for 14 years, with the community providing its trademark hospitality to our members and sponsors," said Howard Duncan, SCCA vice president of rally/solo and special programs. "This has allowed us to grow the event to the point where we need a new location to accommodate the ever increasing interest in nationals. The Lincoln Airpark is the best Solo site in the country and will provide us the new home we need to make the championships more accessible to the growing number of SCCA Solo members."

As is traditionally the case, the ProSolo season finale will precede the national championship event at the same site.

The Lincoln Airpark offers 35.6 acres of concrete for course layouts, 5.7 acres of grid space and 16.9 acres of paddock space. In all, the site is more than double the size of the previous venue. Moving to the Lincoln Airpark marks a return to concrete for the both events, after three years on Heartland Park's asphalt Solo pad.

The 2009 Pro Solo finale will take place on Sept. 5-6, followed by the national championships on Sept. 8-11.]]> 2008 WOR Awards Banquet Right Around the Corner! http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=145
As usual, year end awards will be presented for solo and rallycross, as will WOR's set of traditional awards. Please make an effort to attend to receive your award, support those you race with, or just have a blast.

Registration is open to everyone. The SCCA member fee is $25 per person, while the non member fee is $30 per person. This includes admission and a gourmet family style meal. Registrations need to be received by December 5th.

RSVP and make payment to Dan Coughnour, 937-232-0732, 1497 Charleton Mill Rd.,Xenia, Ohio 45385.]]> November Rev Record Posted http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=144 Great Lakes Division Roundtable - Saturday, November 1, 2008 http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=143

Ask any Western Ohio Region member for details and directions about great ways to spend your Sunday before heading home.

Great Lakes Division Roundtable Agenda

If you have the need for a meeting that is not on the schedule please let us know. We can add your group.

All attendees are encouraged to participate in the Town Hall - Open Forum. Anyone may ask a question or offer an opinion. Moderators will conduct the meeting so all who want will have a chance to speak and a few don't dominate.

The 2009 Race Scheduling Meeting is open to anyone interested in attending. However, there can be only one spokesperson per Region - so make that decision before the meeting begins.

The Solo Meeting is an opportunity for all Solo enthusiasts to gather to share information and ideas and to ask questions. WOR Solo Chair will moderate the meeting and Division Administrators will be on hand to answer questions.

If your Region doesn't participate in the Street Survival Program this is the time to learn what it's all about. It is a win, win, win deal. Your Region gets positive publicity, you provide a Community service for teen drivers and you can make a little money. If your Region already participates, please come and share your expertise.

The Race Chairman 101 meeting is presented by John Peterson and is a must for Race Chairs, future Race Chairs and any key race personnel. He will lead you through the steps necessary to run a good race and stay on the good side of the Division and National.

The Region's Open Forum will give Regions a chance to share problems, concerns, solutions and good ideas. We plan to cover membership, activities, finances, communications (including newsletters, web sites and email blasts), and anything else you'd like to bring up.

Rally Cross has four Regions that we know of with a program in place. They would like to get together and would welcome any other Regions who want to learn about Rally Cross so they can join in the fun. How about a Divisional Rally Cross Series?

Workers, we welcome you with open arms. The workers will have an open forum to discuss mutual issues and the room is large enough to break out into specific specialties if you wish.

We are awaiting responses from some before we firm up the moderators or speakers for some of the sessions. We also welcome volunteers if you feel you want to contribute. We have letters out to possible sponsors for our Continental Breakfast and Breaks. Again, we WELCOME any volunteers, so if we didn't contact you please contact us.]]> Third Solo Points Event in the Books! http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=142
As usual, the event started on time, at 10:15 and ran flawlessly. Everyone received four runs in the morning and four runs after a lunch break for a total of eight runs.
Interestingly, the largest class of the day came from E Stock, with eight drivers. Ken Moist led the class all day and finished around two seconds ahead of second place. It seems he's getting that Miata really dialed in.

The bulk of the action, though, was found in D Stock, where the lead switched back and forth all day. Frank Levinson and George Thielen finished a mere two-tenths of a second from one another, while timing and scoring guru Scott Irwin finished third in his BMW.

Most of the Gordon family attended and all raced Bob's 92 Mazda Miata. While Bob has more experience in this car, it was his sons, Andrew and Matt who came out ahead in C Street Prepared. Currently, Bob is getting the last laugh though, as he is currently winning the points race for the year.

Street Modified also was well attended, as the Civic Hatchback crew was out in force. Adam Kolatorowicz came down from OVR and Greg Hall, David McGuigan and Christian Moist also brought their hatchbacks out. Tom Thieman and Doug Brown (who is getting faster by the day) entered Street Modified 2. Tom Thieman had not only the fastest SM time, but the fastest overall time of the day, besting Christian Moist by over two tenths of a second.

Several faces attended this event that we havent seen much of this year. Hector Fontanet entered his new (to us) Ford Focus for a win in D Street Prepared, while the Olivers (Rudy and Matt) brought the Z06 Vette out to take the top two spots in A Street Prepared.

There is one more WOR solo event this year, which is a joint event with Cincy region, hosted by the Cincy region at River Downs on October 5th. This will be the fourth points event and will count towards WOR year end point totals. Participation at three of our four solo points events are mandatory to qualify for year end awards. Additionally, drivers must be a WOR SCCA member. Hope to see you in October!  ]]> From the Activities Desk: September Membership Meeting http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=141 Best Sports car

  • Experience high performance driving on one of America’s most famous road courses
  • You will learn correct driving control from experienced instructors
  • All automobile makes welcome and you don’t have to be a member of our club
  • Classes for beginners through experts

Event Information:
Two-day Drivers Education
The Mid-Ohio Region presents the third annual Driver Education event at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. This is a great opportunity to learn and practice the techniques of high performance driving on the 2.4 mile, 15 turn challenging track known as "the Most Competitive in the U.S."

Student drivers will be teamed-up with Mid-Ohio Region approved instructors. This is an excellent time to learn more about your car and enhance your driving skills

This is not a racing school. It’s an opportunity to drive your car in a fun, safe, learning environment. Best of all, you’ll get to meet and socialize with a wide array of enthusiasts anxious to challenge their skill and knowledge.

Classroom Instruction
Comprehensive classroom sessions cover many of the basic concepts that are the foundation for skilled high performance driving. Topics include car prep, driving position, attitude, vision, weight transfer, tire adhesion and cornering techniques.

On-Track Driving
Students get to drive the track at speed during multiple 20-30 minute sessions with an instructor riding along providing guidance. This opportunity allows students to enhance car control skills by applying and practicing the techniques discussed in class. Run groups are established to allow students to run laps with other drivers of similar experience. Passing is only allowed on designated sections of the course, and under controlled circumstances, making for a very safe environment.  ]]> 2008 GLDiv Rallycross Schedule and Current Standings http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=133

THE NATIONAL VOLUNTEER INCENTIVE PROGRAM was initiated to reward members who volunteer for specific club activities for their participation by reducing the cost of national dues for the member.  Members receive $15.00 off their national dues for volunteering to work 4 days per year, $22.00 for working 6 days and $30.00 for working 8 or more days.  The funding for this program is derived from a fee, charged to the regions, that is based on the participating car count at amateur events.  The only events that count toward this incentive, therefore, are regional and national races and driver schools.
 
When you get your renewal letter you will receive a form that allows you to record your participation days and submit it, along with the payment balance, to the national office.  The program began on January 1 this year so please do not attempt to use any races before that date.  The paper form requires sanction numbers for the events you are submitting and I have emailed that information to all of you in two past postings.  Alternatively you can register on-line and have the correct balance billed to you at the time of your renewal.
 
To register on-line you must log into your personal account on the club website (www.scca.org ).  Near the top of the page are two red tabs, the second labeled “log in”.  Click that and log in if you have an account.  If you do not follow the directions under “Never signed on at SCCA.com?”.  You will need your current membership number to create an account.
 
Once you have an account you can view your licenses, edit your mailing address and email address and, now, register your participation dates.  Since only valid events are listed sanction numbers are not needed.  To register participation after logging in, click ‘My Membership” on the left side of the page.  At the top of the membership page are 3 tabs the third of which is “Volunteer Participation”.  After clicking that tab you will be on a page that lists member information, active participation and participation history.  If you click “add” under active participation you will navigate to a page that will allow you to”
1) Enter a date in the form xx/xx/20xx.
2) Pick a track and event from a list
3) Pick the number of days worked at that event
4) Pick the specialty worked
5) Save the record to your participation history.
 
Believe me, it takes much longer to explain it than it does to do it and everybody I know who has tried it has been successful.  Remember, only club dates count.
 
PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIALTY LICENSE RETENTION
The participation requirements for retaining or upgrading your (F&C) specialty license has not really changed but each and every DA reads and does things a little differently.  It is only fair that you know how I intend to operate.  The day count is set by the national office.  No day count is needed to retain your regional license.  To retain a divisional license you need to volunteer in your specialty at least 6 days every season.  To maintain a national license you need at least 8.  Participation days are credited for national and regional club races, driver schools, time trials, PDX dates and street survival events, training and recruiting events that are on a region’s official schedule, SCCA Pro races but ONLY for the days that the SCCA sanctioned event is on the track, and other events that are promoted by a region and on their official calendar.  For that last category please have your Regional Administrator of Regional Executive contact me.  In these days of high gas prices and aging members I will do what I can to help, within reason.  Remember that the intent of the participation requirements is to encourage your participation in OUR events, ensure proper training and skill maintenance and to provide regions with the necessary specialty workers to staff their events.  All of you who know me will know what comes next; RECIPROCATION.  Any measure of leniency in my interpretation of what counts and what doesn’t for participation credits is going to be balanced against an individual’s application of this principle (hint - if you choose to do a pro event, bike event or vintage event on a date that conflicts with a club event in the division, you will probably NOT get participation credits).  I do almost every club event on the west side of the division.  Ronda does most events on the east side of the division.  Every month we get a list from the national office of the folks whose license renews in 2 months time.  If I haven’t seen you I email it to Ronda.  If she hasn’t then I email the RA or, in the absence of an RA, I will contact you and ask for a resume of your experience for the last season.  As DA I have the ability to continue a license for up to three years if an individual cannot maintain the required participation schedule.  I prefer to use that discretion for folks who have physical, family or financial hardships to contend with.]]> June Rev Record is posted http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=129 Jim Hardesty says "Not so fast" to H.A. nominations http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=128 Steve Demeter Gets Triple H.A. Nomination http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=127 Mr Demeter's first try involved starting the race with a 99% dead battery which resulted in his Formula Continental sputtering to a stop in the vicinity of turn one on the pace lap! His second attempt is for his impressive demonstration of "locking the gate after the horse's done run away," Steve requested that the responding Emergency Services worker, a Mr Dave Howard, please turn off his kill switch as Steve couldn't reach it.

The Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup series is an innovative approach to motorsports – 30 factory-prepared and managed 2009 Jetta TDI clean-diesels will be piloted by talented, up-and-coming drivers, ages 16 to 26. Volkswagen's goal is to find the driver with the most talent and help them break into the world of professional motorsports. The Jetta TDI Cup series is sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Pro Racing Inc.

The concept is as revolutionary as the car, which is powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder TDI, clean diesel engine. The Jetta TDI is lightly modified from spec, featuring race-ready suspension and brakes, and a six-speed double-clutch automatic DSG transmission. Additionally, to highlight its environmental dedication, Volkswagen has partnered with Carbonfund.org to certify the entire race series as carbon free.

"With the Jetta TDI Cup, Volkswagen has created an amazing platform to develop young drivers and expand their knowledge about clean, quiet and powerful diesel technology," said Robert Wildberger, president and CEO, SCCA Pro Racing, Inc. "We look forward to the series in hopes that it will attract more attention to the drivers and advantages of diesel power."

In the end, the winner of the race series will be awarded $100,000 from Volkswagen to aid them in their next steps as a professional racer. An additional $150,000 will be given to the winner if he or she signs a contract with a professional level team within six months of winning the Jetta TDI Cup series.]]> April Rev Record is Posted http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=123 2008 Solo Registration is Open! http://www.worscca.org/racing_news/news.php?story=122 My Auto Events.

The 2008 Solo National Tour kicks off the season, February 23 – 24, in the same spot the 2007 season started, South Georgia Motorsports Park, in Cecil, Ga. Other highlights include the return of Texas Motor Speedway on May 3 – 4, after a six year absence, and the first stop at Atlanta Motor Speedway in a decade, May 24 – 25.

The regular season closes at a brand new venue, Arrowhead Stadium, in Kansas City, Mo., August 30 – 31. The date was strategically chosen to be very near that of The Tire Rack Solo National Championship, September 16 – 19, to enable competitors to leave their cars and trailers in Kansas for the interim.

Before the 2008 ProSolo season officially begins, the South Georgia Motorsports Park will host a test run of the new timing equipment January 26. The ProSolo National Series will then commence March 29 – 30 at El Toro Airfield, in El Toro, Calif. The second round on the calendar is a new venue, that of Newport Airport, in Newport, Ark., April 12 – 13. Seven more events complete the 2008 ProSolo season including the ProSolo Finale at Heartland Park Topeka, September 12 – 13.

ProSolo returns to a point championship format in 2008. Similar to 2006, a competitor’s two best finishes from their first three events will be added to points scored at the ProSolo Finale to determine the National Series Champions.

Online registration for the National Tour event and ProSolo test at South Georgia Motorsports Park will open shortly, registration for the remaining Solo events will open after the SCCA National Convention Feb. 7 – 9.
