Ozark Mountain Region SCCA

The lincoln "spring nationals" was last weekend, and included both a pro solo and a national tour. because it's on the same pavement as the nationals, this memorial day event always has an excellent turnout of past national champs and contenders. ...and in the contender category, our own Mark Foley ...

hey, the figure 8 was cool. don't know what happened to you ...guys.

no soup for me. sorry i blew the contest.

please pre-register if you're planning to attend, if we don't get 10 by 8pm tonite we'll cancel the event.

c'mon you guys, let's get dirty.

(actually muddy this time around, but don't let that stop you)

...in the same issue, doug largent appears on page 58, small pic below the sidebar. or at least 2/3 of doug's car, and almost all of doug's head.

we get a lot of press down here in the ozarks.

we can't run the event without at least 10 people. if you plan to participate sunday please pre-register. we'll be missing a couple of our regulars, it seems, so we may be short to run the event.

Sunday 2/4 or so? Sounds like fun may join you in the mustang if its not just too damn cold

i want to come too. tho i expect to be embarrassed either way. lot of work wasted if too little, lot of power wasted if too much. really tough to use much more than 6:1 power/weight effectively.

shane let me add my belated welcome. just a thought, you might want to drive the wife's car instead, if you can't stand losing to her. my 00 996 c4 is geared too low in first, too high in second, and corresponding to the too high, doesn't have a lot of grunt til 4000 rpm or so. also quite pushy, you...

link to some pics of the event. let me know if you see one you want, i have higher resolution. some of these by Tim & Jenny Datema, thanks you guys. apologies to those poorly represented. some one report if the link doesn't work? http://www.flickr.com/photos/stanbellofclever/sets/72157632042697827/
