OMRSCCA SOLO Event #5
Sunday, Aug 24th, 2014
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 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 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.

Looking for one or two (max) helpers for set up.

Won't be confirmed until we get closer but figure on early - mid afternoon Saturday the 23rd. Maybe ~2pm-ish.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend on Sunday because of RXSS duty at a KC RallyCross. However, I should be able to help with setup on Saturday afternoon if we have access to the lot.

Jim, you rock.

I'll probably haul my car up there on Saturday as well (why not?).

Therefore, you get to test run the course for me in 96 ESP.

Just don't wad it up. I'll need it in Nebraska the following week. :wink:

Thanks for the help gentleman. I appreciate it.

Justin says we can get on the site at 2pm Saturday so that is what time I'll be there.

Results have been posted.

Korry, JimR, and John P. thank you guys for setting up such a nice course, it was a lot of fun and just seemed to flow well. We had several new faces out there and I am sure they don't even know how spoiled they were to have a layout that is clean, uncluttered, and challenging, Mr. Berger is a master at this.

Also wanted to thank the Sara, G. McNabb, the Heislers, J. Mulkey, J. Powell, Tim Datema, D. Wilson, and others that continually show up well before registration opens to help drag out all of the other stuff that helps to put the events on. Lots of hands make light work and w/o your help Justin and I would probably be worn out before the events ever started.
