OMRSCCA SOLO Event #3
Sunday, May 3rd, 2015
Crowder Truck Driving School
Neosho, Missouri [Map]


Register Online!
[Click for online registration powered by MotorsportReg]
Additional MotorsportReg instructions and details here. Please pre-register online to save time on the day of the event.

Event Information Car Numbers and Classes
Car Numbers are exclusive for this season, meaning only one person is allowed to run a number during the entire year no matter what class you are in (e.g. Car number 10 John Doe in SS, you would not be able to use 10 even if you ran a different class). During pre-registration, if a number is not shown when it is time to choose, then it is already in use this year.

Amenities
There are gas stations, WalMart, and fast food on Highway 59 about a mile North of the intersection of MO-D. There is no air available at the site, so prepare accordingly. Our friends at the Crowder College Trucking School usually grill lunch on-site at modest cost.

Directions from Springfield
Take I-44 to US 71 South, and exit at Highway 60 Neosho/Seneca. Go East to the light at US 59/71B (WalMart will be on your right). Turn right to go South on 59, and follow the signs for Crowder College and Highway MO-D. Turn left onto MO-D, and it will take you straight to Crowder College. Once you reach the stop sign at the entrance of Crowder, turn right onto Doniphan and head towards the windmill. Turn left onto National Guard Drive just past the windmill, and follow the SCCA signs and cones to the site.

Run / Work
Typically, half of the classes run in one heat, while other other half help work the event. Then we switch after lunch. Work assignments will be balanced to ensure even work coverage for all stations in all heats. If you show up late to the event or late to your work assignment, you may not be allowed to participate.

If we have over 80 entrants, we will go to a three-heat format:
  • Work heat 1 / Drive heat 3
  • Work heat 2 / Drive heat 1
  • Work heat 3 / Drive heat 2
Crowder College has asked us to sign a waiver at every event in addition to the normal SCCA waiver. If you have access to a printer, please print and fill out a copy in advance so you don't have to stand around filling one out at the gate to the site.

It was a good weather, good course, good organization, good people kind of day. Thanks again to all the folks who do the nuts and bolts of putting this together and making it work....Matt, Justin, Scott, Jim, and whoever I left out.

It was also a windy, grit in the eyes, pollen up the nose, challenging course.....a "crap, I can't believe I overdrove that corner again" kind of day. The people were still good.

Congrats to Opie and to Sam....both went very fast. Scott had a breakthrough run yesterday with his new setup. I've never seen that car corner that well before....well done! Gregg had a good run and looked super smooth. Brad H. from Claremore snuck (sic) into the top 5 PAX. C Street was interesting because Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma were all represented. (Oklahoma won)

Opie said it best in describing the course when he said you spend a lot of time in a skidpad. It also took a lot of discipline to hold your line when you think you can stand on the gas. I think the course favored cars with good balance. That means to me probably a rear-driver with good rubber. It also means my setup is not right yet....too much push in sweepers. New tires will help but there is always something more to learn.

Bud
