It's time to kick off the 2011 TireRack Midwest Division Solo Series presented by R&S Racing and Solo Performance Specialties. Ozark Mountain Region SCCA, with help from Reliable Imports & RV, is pleased to present the first round at Crowder College Truck Driving School in Neosho, Missouri. Enjoy May in the Ozarks with 375,000 square feet of grippy, tire-friendly, and unobstructed asphalt. Located just south of Joplin, Missouri, the Crowder College Truck Driving School site is centrally located to the Midwest division, and is an easy four-lane haul from most locations via I-44 and US 71.

Did #43 design the course?

Looks a bit like a Jim Conner to me.

My engine gets back from the machine shop on Monday - and then the mad dash to get the car AutoX ready ensues. See you guys there.

What? No more Monaro Competition?

Say it isn't SO!

(actually, I had a lot of fun this last weekend competing against you, Matt - even with the CP/F-Stock Thunderbird.....)

I had fun as well. I can blame it on the 245s all day long, but to be honest I just don't know how to drive a large, heavy, torquey RWD car. I doubt that it will be its last appearance, though. It might show up in rain events.

If I don't get the Zed done in time, Zach has offered a SM co-drive in the T/A.

Registration closes in two weeks on Wednesday, 5/11/2011.

We have about a dozen OMR members signed up. Anyone else want to attend the biggest event hosted by their region this year?

[Andy]

See you all at the Divisional.

Street Tire Index PAX is now up and everyone should have gotten an email, but in case you check the forums more often than the email address you gave MotorsportReg.com here you go:

To everyone that would like to sign up for the Street Tire PAX index, you now can. All you need to do it login to MotorsportReg.com and go to the Event Dashboard. From there you can select Update/change registration, and select the Street Tire Index from the PAX dropdown. Thanks to all that have signed up already and we are looking forward to seeing you there.

Sooo..... I don't get it.

It was my understanding the ST Pax was wanted at the Regional Level.

Are we going to continue this throughout the season? I've got Hoosiers to run at the MiDiv, but that's all I plan on running them this year.

I can't figure out if we're supposed to pay on-line or not, so I didn't.

You have the option of paying online but it is not required. At this point if you have not sent the payment in the mail yet I would rather you pay at registration.

This is the only event that we are planning on running the ST pax index in.

The Ozark Mountain Region is merely the host for this the first round of the MiDiv Solo Series. So these are both things that we normally don't do at our Regional events, but have been requested for this Divisional Level event.

BTW, we are trying to see how we are for volunteers for Friday, just to see how we are doing, a show of hands who plans on being there would be great. I know that we could we use one more volunteer for Registration, we will need to pack the SWAG bags, set up the registration and tech area, and I am sure that we could always use an extra hand in course setup. So if you are available, any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated.

[Andy]

Matt,
I can be there by about 3:00 to help with course set-up or tech set-up.

[JimR]

Awesome.

Thanks for the reminder, Matt. I posted the downlow on a few spots were an extra hand will be helpful:

I heard that the cars had to be teched on Friday and by apt only on Saturday...is this true?

[The Huff]

Yes, tech is Friday. It should be open by 5pm.

I don't know if I will be there at all Friday but Sara will be down early to help.

Yes a Saturday morning registration/tech is available by appointment (7:30 to 8:30am), but then you would miss out on an opportunity to walk the course, get your swag, put on the required sticker package at a relaxed pace (trust me you have better results when not rushed), and worst of all you will miss out on the great hospitality provided by Reliable Imports.
