SCCA race at MO on GrandAm weekend

[RacerBill]

Through the workers network, it was announced that Ohio Valley Region will be holding a restriced regional in conjunction with the Grand-Am race at Mid-Ohio Sept 16-18. It will be a one race group event for ITS, A, B C, and SM(R). No word on the event schedule.

That is AWESOME!! Most likely the coolest IT event this year! I am so jealous that I cannot go!

No ITR? Bumming - would have been worth the tow...

 

[CRallo]

Wow!! Very cool!

Mmmmmm... is it worth skipping IT Fest and doing that instead tho?

And what is the entry fee gonna be like on a weekend like that?!

And the TV equipment is already there, so...

And the TV equipment is already there, so...

....the TV people will be taking a break then.

....the TV people will be taking a break then.

Ofcourse they will be. Cmon, they dont want to see any IT racing...

Fixed that for ya.

Adding SM and not allowing ITR? Not enough cars to fill a session with just IT cars?

 

[Knestis]

No ITR seems like an oversight rather than a decision...

Great Lakes Division points event?

Wow, paddock will be packed! Where will they put us "non-pro" drivers? Out in the field up the hill? I think we all need to paddock together in a group out and away from the unknown

The bigger the field the better!!!

The details of the event will be posted once they are all final. I'm not sure when that will be, but I know it is being worked on right now. Thanks.

They don't like us at Mid Ohio...I know they don't like me there.

Great Lakes Division points event?...

I'm pretty sure the answer is No. The official communication will have all the details.

I'm pretty sure the answer is No. The official communication will have all the details.

Thanks Matt

By the way, are your headlights working?

 

[downingracing]

Thanks Matt

By the way, are your headlights working?

That is about the only thing working... I've made 0 progress on the car. With no plans to make any progress anytime soon... So....... I'm sure I'll get 'something' together for this year. I've still got the SM/ITA Miata, so I can always jump in that. No clue what 2011 will bring, but I'm sure I'll have a great time with whatever I do.

 

[tom91ita]

my biggest fear is a wait list. i think with SM involved, we will likely hit the car limit for the track (65?).

split qualifying (like the ARRC 15 minutes and 15 minutes) and split strart might be worthwhile....

cudos to everyone helping make this happen.

 

[downingracing]

I believe the 10% overage would allow for 66 cars on track if that is granted. The classes are not set yet - this event is still in the planning phase. It is on the schedule now, so hopefully more info will come soon!

We (OVR) will post more information once it is set. Thanks!

I've asked, and it isn't an oversight.

Agreed.
