Not an SCCA event anymore but....this year's edition of the "100 Acre Wood" stage rally is scheduled for FRIDAY/SATURDAY, February 24/25 on the forest roads east and south of Salem, MO. Info at www.100aw.org Headquarters will be the Holiday Inn Express in Salem. Spectator guides will be available th...

"Big Whiskey's" is east of the Republic Rd & Kansas Expressway intersection and our first Meeting there will be Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 7:00 PM.

El Puente is at 1111 E Republic Rd......just west of the Republic Rd/National Ave intersection.

The question is moot because El Puente is El Nomoro (for OMR meetings) from what I've heard. Keep watching the main page for info on OMR's next new meeting location!

Excellent find, Jim. Can anyone - someone with better eyes or a better monitor - read the driver's name on the fender of the black Corvette? And...can one of OMR's Corvette gurus tell me what model year the Black Corvette is?

The December issue of SportsCar landed in my mailbox today. I mention the following because I know a lot of OMR members don't read the magazine cover-to-cover. Coverage of SCCA's National Rallycross Championship at Tulsa in early October starts on pg. 78, and photos of OMR's national champs - Doug L...

Congratulations to Sam, Doug and Bobby. Sam is proving to be quite the all-rounder when it comes to SCCA motorsports and exemplifies the type of sportsman for whom the Club was created many years ago.

Mr. Burkett has discussed the meeting in a letter sent to various interested parties. Here's a link to the letter as pub...

According to the "grapevine," the first week of October finds.....electricity has been restored at MidAmerica Motorplex near Council Bluffs, IA....flood waters are receding and the road course is above water.....cleanup has begun.

The 2011 season's final Mid-Am Championship races (including the Mid-Am "Bonus" race) have been cancelled according to the Nebraska Region race committee. The races were to have been run at Motorsports Park-Hastings (Nebraska) on Oct. 15/16. Very few advance entries and a low worker turnout forced t...

Gregg, et al ..... I'm hearing that the lot at Crowder Truck Driver Training Center still has not solidified enough to support an autocross. IMO, chances of OMR running an event on Oct. 2nd are VERY SLIM. Background for those autocrossers who might have missed some of the details this summer.....the...

News reports in St. Louis suggest the drag strip at the Gateway Intl Raceway complex in Madison, IL will be reactivated next year. Perhaps the oval track and infield road course also will be revived.....
