OMRSCCA SOLO Event #3
Sunday, May 19th, 2013
Crowder Truck Driving School
Neosho, Missouri [Map]


THIS EVENT WILL BE AT A NEW LOT ADJACENT TO THE SKIDPAD LOT THAT WE USED TO RUN ON.

This Skipad Lot is not available for events.

Register Online!
[Click for online registration powered by MotorsportReg]
Note: 2013 events will use online registration via MotorsportReg. Additional registration instructions here.

Event Information Car Numbers and Classes
Car Numbers are exclusive for the 2013 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 76 Matt L in STC, you would not be able to use 76 even if you ran a different class). During pre-registration if a # is not shown when it is time to pick your car # 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. We anticipate making lunch available on-site.

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 just past the windmill, and follow the SCCA signs and cones to the site.

Run / Work
If we have over 80 entrants, we will go to a three-heat format based on a first-come, first-served basis:

Work heat 1 / Drive heat 3
Work heat 2 / Drive heat 1
Work heat 3 / Drive heat 2


Work assignments will be balanced to ensure even work coverage for all stations in all heats. If you show up at the last minute, your choice may be full. If you show up late, you will not be able to participate at all!

See you there!

Unless confirmed otherwise, this will be the "junior" lot at Crowder we used last year. However, Justin got word that FEMA is clearing the "big" lot steadily. There is an outside shot at having it back in May.

Just a clutch... amongst other things.

My oil pump decided to take a dump. Anyone have any interesting co-drive offers if I can't get the new pump on in time?

I'll drive the turbo Subaru if need be but just wondering if anyone wanted to offer a seat 8)

Yep, clutch was getting a bit soft so I'm swapping in a new trans. :wink:

Actually I had a transmission builder in Texas clone me an M29 last year (even has a '93 case) and I'm just now getting around to installing it.

Then there's also that 5lb muffler I'm trying to figure out how to hang before ordering.....

FWIW after weighing the Magnaflow exhaust I just removed, that muffler should save me ~35lbs. I might be able to just get under 3300lbs with a full tank.

Korry, Hope to see you soon out on course. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the bigger lot at Crowder is available soon or you may not be using much of that new trans.

I'm out for this one.

For some reason the new trans still hasn't crawled up there and installed itself. The clutch was good about getting itself taken care of though.

If only I could get those new motor mounts to develop the same initiative...

Hey now, I got under your stoopid tractor-axled flame-mobile and got one of them bolted up...

Get that trans in there!!

At the very least I think you should man up and bring your new daily. If not for brushing the rust off, I'm sure it'd be at least worth watching Mark and Opie see you get out of that car :lol:

Thanks Tummi. The car doesn't have much done. Lowering springs, rear adjustable control arms and i've got the poly bushings also. You're welcome to ride along anytime.

Rad, Stan and I will do course design this Sunday.
