Ozark Mountain Region SCCA

It's OMRSCCA election season, and I suspect everyone just received a ballot for the open positions on the OMR Board of Directors. You might have noticed my name - Jim Rowland - is one of your choices this time, so let me make a brief introduction for those who do not know me. I joined the SCCA in 19...

That was Herbie after he got mixed up in drugs.

The Four States Vette club is all right in my book. Most marque clubs do not go for track/autocross stuff, or help in the capacity you guys have. Neosho is an hour from Springfield, and a drivable distance from NWA, KS, Tulsa, etc. If that site is pretty open, it could be a winner for some OMR event...

Here in Neosho at Crowder College they have truck driving school with a very large lot with looks like new pavement. This lot is on the back side or the eastside of the college.(Lacled Ave&Lewis Drive) Maybe bigger than the ducks, but it is very flat. (500ftx1000ft possibly) Maybe the Corvette Club...

Now is the time to start the dialogue with the Fairgrounds. Ducks Stadium has a couple of issues, one with a nonchalant manager who tends to double-book events without checking. The other is rental to a trucking school that is destroying the surface in the back part of the lot. The back section of t...

Good jerb!

Even if we can't get this site, or at least not right away, I think we made a lot of progress towards next year.

Is everybody still on board for Saturday around 6ish?

I'll see y'all there.

This is another good Schumi vid, shown as a tribute at the annual FIA drivers' gala:

It's set to the theme from Casino Royale, appropriately enough.

I was browsing Craigslist, and I knew it when saw those. That's hilarious. So here's the chance to be the FIFTH owner of those Azenis.



There's history in those tires. Nostalgia.

Someone is selling what appears to be 14" Azenis 215's on NA-gen Miata wheels.

Not a bad deal, but what I'm wondering is if these are Ed's old tires, and therefore my old tires.

Excellent five-minute examination of why Michael Schumacher was so fast:

The second half is a little dry, but technical and very interesting.

Sundays aren't so great for people who have to work on Monday hung over, or at least on the tired side.

I would like to be there. Any weekend not by a holiday should be fine.

Supposedly we'll have another one in November.

Or head to Tulsa November 3rd and 4th if you can't wait.

There's a guy named Robert Moore in OKC who autocrosses a Vee. He might be up at the NEOkla autocross in Tulsa on November 3rd and 4th. It seems like the cost of entry is low and they're light enough to pull behind anything with a hitch. They also look pretty fickle from some I've seen run in past y...
