I'll be there as usual, just not sure what class I'm going to run.
If I get my new hood this week, off with the rear swaybar and back to B stock. I've been planning this for a while, MIDIV Neosho speed up my plan. While competitive locally(not so much lately), without FI & hoosiers, my car is outgunned in SM. See you all sunday.

Signed up.

Kart drivers note: the condition of Ducks may prevent construction of a course that is kart-legal. In the off chance that Randy or any other Kart drivers come, please message me in advance.

I keep getting failed message while trying to PM you Jim.
I know it's not a kart, but I was planning to run in FM a 79 Red Devil (no suspension).
Would this present an issue?

I wouldn't think a Formula car would be (necessarily) any more "dangerous" than a standard car - as I understand it, the Kart rule is because there is NO protection against any object-intrusion on a Kart, and MUST have the 75' (min.) clearance.

One thing I just thought of - I need to complete one more "session" with a Licensed SSS to complete my training to get my own license (preferrably the same SSS - Bud Weeks - as I trained under on my first session).

Jeanie also has not had anyone she could Apprentice-with to get her SSS License yet, either.

Any chance Bud will be the SSS for one of the Heats, and Jeanie could follow-around whomever will be the SSS for the other (and do so again before the season is over)?

Our trainer requested that we be Apprenticed to the same person (respectively) for both our training-sessions, as he would like to deal with a max of only two people when deciding whether or not to sign-off on our SSS Licenses (as he's from the Wichita, KS region).

Right, the 75-foot rule only applies to karts. Open-wheeled vehicles, including F440s, are fine per normal course design safety rules.

If more than two people have to sign off on your SSS apprenticeships, so be it. The need for qualified SSS is paramount, even if it causes inconvenience. We are spread thin for key assignments all the time, and any event SSS can sign off on the form for that event. Donna Hill, MiDiv Solo Steward, and Janice Rick, MiDiv SSS, both have met and know many members of OMRSCCA leadership.

We appreciate you two going (way) out of your way to become SSS certified, and we'll make it happen. Jeanie can apprentice with whoever is SSS this weekend.

Dani and I plan to be there. I can be SSS for the 1st heat and run the 2nd heat.

Looks like 31 pre-registered! Seems that in the past, it's been about 1:1 or so pre to walk-up, IIRC.

It's been a few weeks since we've been behind the wheel - and I'm Jonesin' for a fix............

Jeanie I know that I have you in the wrong class but I will fix that before next event.

THANK YOU to all that help so much with the set up and tear down of the trailer, and especially to Bobby Jason who put up a great course today.

I'll say - some may not have liked that second slalom - but I really liked the challenge of trying to get that nose-heavy, pig of a Mustang to zig-zag in such a short distance........

Jeanie and I had a really Good Day - I'd not rather have been anywhere else today. Thank you All for a super-fun time. Double-thanks to Matt, Jim, Bobby, Curtis, (and anyone else I may be leaving-out that worked so hard to make this happen) and especially Bud and Roger for helping Jeanie and I to move-along with our SSS Licenses.

Bobby really stepped up and made this happen. Brought the trailer, then set up a course when I couldn't make it on time.

The condition of the pavement is obviously worse in spots than before, and that's a challenge for safe and enjoyable course design.

However, Brad Eldridge of Ducks Stadium was on hand and talked to some of us. The trucking school has an obligation to certain levels of maintenance, and they need to follow through. Hopefully we'll see a combination of repairs and more selective positioning of driving maneuvers. If not, we'll still want to continue a positive relationship with Ducks and eke out some events as the surface allows.

It's important to understand that it cost more to have the average driveway resealed than what we pay, or can afford to pay, for the use of the stadium lot. Still Duck's management has always bent over backwards, been very responsive to anything we ask or need, and treated OMR SCCA like we were very important to them. Hopefully some repairs, will be made, before our next event there, even if it's less than the complete repaving we all dream about.

I was more concerned about the condition of the Duck's lot before I saw the great course Bobby put together for us. I would have enjoyed it, even if driving a "full" size car. We had good turnout at 50 or so entrants.

What would be great is options.....Anyone with lot ideas, or even better, lot ideas with contact info, please forward them to board@omrscca.org or call me at 417-849-4673.
