2009 SOLO II Event Listing

[magilson]

I've updated our Autocross Calendar with 2009's Events with the information I've found so far.

If you guys find inaccuracies with other regions please let me know. As the OMR board develops our season of course we will update that as well.

Our first event, March 22nd, will be held at Crowder. The May 24th event will be held at Duck's because the Acura Legend Club will be hosting their 2009 NALM event in Branson, MO. The July 11/12 Divisional will be held at Crowder.

The rest of the season is up for grabs. However, the BOD concluded (at the December Board meeting) that three events would be held at the Crowder location and the rest at Duck's Stadium. That's not to say that decision couldn't be changed, but Crowder has thus far agreed to three events; one being our Divisional two-day event. anything beyond that would involve additional discussions.

Requirements

Safe, Working Car
Most passenger cars and 2WD light trucks in good running order are allowed. SUVs, 4x4's, minivans, tall/narrow vehicles, and other rollover-prone vehicles are obviously a bad idea and cannot compete. Before registration, all cars are checked for loose wheel bearings, steering wheel play, and anything unsafe for autocross conditions. Make sure your battery is held tightly in place, the throttle return works, the brakes function, and that nothing is leaking. Note: Adequate mufflers are required. Ducks Stadium borders a residential neighborhood, and excessively loud cars are one way to make us lose our site.

Driver's Licenses, Minors, and Waivers

All persons entering the site will be required to sign a Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement (SCCA form MS-1).

Everyone under age 18 on site must have a Minor Wavier (SCCA form MS-2A) on file with OMR, competing or not.

All event participants except those in the Junior Driver program must have a valid driver's license on site and must present it at registration or any other time requested. A valid driver's license is required to run. Drivers under 18 with only a driver's permit (rather than a full license) must abide by the laws of the issuing state. If the permit requires an adult passenger, he or she must be a parent or guardian unless given signed permission by the parent/guardian and prior approval of the Solo Safety Steward.

Also, everyone under age 18 on site must have a Minor Wavier (SCCA form MS-2A) on file with OMR, competing or not. For competing minors, both parents or guardians must sign the wavier once every calendar year. All parent/legal guardian signatures must be witnessed by an adult SCCA member. OMR SCCA requires that any form completed off-site must be signed and witnessed in the presence of a Notary. Children under 12 or minors only spectating are not allowed in "hot" areas such as course and grid, and must have one parent or guardian sign a Minor Wavier on a per-event basis.

Show up on time
You want to have time to prepare your car, tech, register, and walk the course. Lateness makes the day longer for everyone, so get to registration before it closes, or you won't be able to run.

Children and Pets
Children under twelve and pets cannot be in the grid, on course, or near the start/finish areas. All minors on site must have their parent or guardian sign a minor wavier.

Children no younger than 12 years old may ride along with event participant who's vehicle passed tech inspection so long as the parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have signed the appropriate paperwork and an approved helmet and seatbelt are worn at all times while in the vehicle.

Helmets
A helmet must be worn during runs; the club has loaner helmets available. If you want to bring your own helmet (most eventually do), it must be Snell "M" (motorcycle), "SA" (automobile racing), or "K" (kart) rated (or SFI). "DOT" alone is insufficient, and the SCCA requires the 1995 rating as minimum for Snell M and SA helmets. Only helmets carrying one of the following certifications are allowed:

Snell M95, SA95, K98, M2000, SA2000, M2005, SA/K2005
SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A, 41.2A

Our first event, March 22nd, will be held at Crowder.

It is in Neosho, South of Joplin on 71. I am sure magilson will probably get instructions and a map up on the website soon though, but until then:
