Not involved with them any longer, but you might want to talk to Atlanta Region about doing something in conjunction with the ARRC in November. Not as central a location as others, but one of the top...

And 3.1.1.A.1 from the March 2018 GCR:

1. Conference Events

Points earned in Conference races in Runoffs-eligible classes will count toward Conference Championships
(see 3.7.2),...

I started on a long explanation even though I'm no longer involved in any of this stuff, but instead here's the short answer:

If you don't like this then take it up with your area director. If...

A test day is not mandatory per any Supps I've ever seen, so I took the liberty to modify Brian's statement.

And Greg, I believe most of the membership (drivers, crew, and workers) appreciate my...

To date the special rule has been applied to the CONFERENCE hosting the Runoffs, not the division. For MRLS it was the entire Western Conference (not just SFR or NorPac) that got the extra slots...

Stevan - Granted it poses an issue when you get lapped by the overall leader on the last lap, but if you've been out there for a while, are coming to Start/Finish and see a waving flag, vigorously or...

At the 2013 June Sprints I made it a point to see how Chicago Region did it, and it was all over the place. Some starters held one finger in the air, another pointed downwards with a Day-Glo glove on...

Assuming it's the same person, R. David Jones is a long-time member and former Director from the SWDiv. I know he resigned from the BoD a couple of years ago, but if he's still around someone from...

Local ordinance says "no race engines" from 10-noon on Sunday. While there is no decibel requirement, occasionally a street car will be asked to leave the PDX sessions so while the B-Spec cars are...

I hate to bring actual data into this, but what happened at Road Atlanta this year was distinctly different than what happened at Portland in 2014. At Portland the FB cars qualified and raced with...

No sense in letting logic get in the way of a good rant, but if they REALLY objected to the groupings (which included the same classes they run with a 80% of the Majors races), why did they sign up...

Chalk it up to the "loss of institutional knowledge" that has befallen Topeka since the new president has ascended to the throne. I can't blame Mike for proposing the deal, but others should have...

David - I sent you an email saying I'd help if you can't find anyone else.

Even though I’m no longer involved in SCCA leadership I have still been keeping up with things and thus have been following this thread since Froggie started it. I've stayed out of the discussion...

It is the same device, but after losing two boxes off P1 cars at ACS the rule was changed to require the AiM piece that locks the box in better. Someone argued the original rule covered only the...

Apparently there were technical issues with the website over the weekend. The correct results should be posted sometime today (Monday).

There is plenty of blame to go around and we (SCCA officials) will do an extensive de-brief to develop procedures to help prevent this from happening in the future. We are very aware that we dodged a...

That was the plan all along assuming enough FB (F-1000) cars showed up to warrant it (and 10 certainly warrants it). Same thing at all the other events on the F-1000 schedule where you don't get...

1. Three weekends in each division.
2. MIS did not have a workable date available in 2014, so WMR opted for Grattan.

You didn't ask, but Brainerd is an option for CENDiv but it's even further...

The Northern Conference is made up of GLDiv and CENDiv. We wanted to have three race weekends in each division. Where else in CENDiv would you have a Majors weekend?

Ethan,

Thanks for your comments confirming, at least in part, things I've heard from other sources.

I've heard there were issues with red flags and FCY in most every run group, that some groups on Saturday got only two green flag laps. And yes, I realize that's not unlike the SCCA experience in...

Understood. One result of all this is there's a discussion currently getting started about the whole homologation process and what it's intend to accomplish.

We've got a guy that wants to homologate his 1997 Lola T97/20 in FS for SCCA competition. While we're all confident this design was FIA certified and is perfectly fine for what we do, neither the...

And some the two-stroke owners are equally adamant the four-strokes will make their current cars immediately obsolete, so the real answer falls somewhere in between.

This is not unlike the...

"EVERYONE..." is obviously incorrect. What I should have written was "everyone who has a vested interest in the continued success of this class...".

The immediate reaction was to eliminate the...

I spent most of the last two days researching what happened and crafting the following response to a letter from the pole-sitter asking for an explanation of what happened:

In addition to Atlanta Region being customer-friendly with their payment options, Road Atlanta allows partial test days with the fee pro-rated based on how many sessions are left when you sign up.

From the Majors page of the SCCA website:

http://www.scca.com/events/index.cfm?eid=5405

They (Lone Star Region, Roger Krebs specifically) are still finalizing things but Registration for COTA will be on DLB and they are hoping to have it ready to open on January 15 (as stated above).

Two corrections from what's on SCCA.com:

1. The June Sprints will be a "National and a Half" - four of the eight run groups will get two races while the other four will get two races at the Cat...

If you're in FB count on a 15-minute second qualifying session. The V8 Stock Car guys are the ones that really want the 6-lap races (which also give you a much better chance at getting a clean lap if...

As Coop said, that rule was rescinded last year - anyone with the equivalent of (at least) a Regional license can run any car.

What we ARE going to do this year, however, is enforce the ARRC...

You can return to the paddock, but you have to get permission from a steward (Operating or Chief) and be accompanied by a Pit & Grid worker. The reason (at least during qualifying) is because someone...

This would be an accurate statement regarding non-winged formula cars in SEDiv at least. Participation levels in the CF, F5, (F6), FF, FST, FV group now average less than ten cars per weekend. Car...

Bill,

I'd like to see what you're counting to come up with those numbers. If you look at the spreadsheet(s) totaling the SARRC points on the SEDiv website (www.SEDivRacing.org) there are 31...

I know you're only going by what was presented to you, but I have to question the 75 regional events in SEDiv in 2011. We had 32 races in the 2011 SARRC season, so that means we had even MORE...

Phil can certainly speak for himself, but my understanding after talking to him Monday evening is the BoD wants a better proposal to incorporate 600cc motorcycle engines into F500. i.e. - a version...

Although he hasn't run in a couple of years, Steve Tompkins (tompkins -at- vol -dot- net) of Chattanooga ran an FM at many of the SEDiv hill climbs in the past. He would be able to give you a...

I don't anticipate a split start in Group 3 whether we add FC/CFC or not.

The final decision to move FC/CFC comes from the SOM - I was just trying to gather data from which they can base their...

Here's an e-mail I just sent out:

I’m sending this to all Group 3 drivers and the five (potentially) affected FC/CFC drivers via :bcc.

We currently have 18 cars in Group 3 and 41 cars in...

Live T&S plus Live Audio of the track announcers, Scott Conway & Greg Creamer.

Links will be opened on the Atlanta Region website on Friday, Nov 4.

As Coop wrote, B's are B's and we've eliminated the restriction on Runoffs drivers competing at the ARRC by GRM in the same class (which is why many FB's ran in FS in the past). The ONLY restriction...

Nov 3-6, 2011. Track organized test day Thursday, qualifying Friday, race on Saturday, head home (or stay around to watch the Pro Enterprises races) on Sunday.

Just to clarify, the track-sanctioned test day is on THURSDAY (Nov 3)!

Two 15-minute qualifying sessions on Friday, then the 20-lap (or 40 minute) Championship race is on Saturday. That allows...

This weekend is the first time SCCA has raced at Charlotte since 2006, so an SCCA legal FB has never run there.

Saturday evening is one of our Membership meetings complete with a Cook-Out (and copious amounts of beverages both adult and non-adult) at the Chalet. All event participants and Atlanta Region...

Great story, Coop, but one small correction: Roebling Road in March is/was not the only single National weekend in SEDiv.

Our May 20-22 weekend at Road Atlanta will also be a single race weekend...

And "you" in my comments are directed toward a specific person that makes blanket statements about what "could" and "should" work without producing an example that DOES work! Until you produce a...

Wren,

I'm the Competition Director for Atlanta Region. I develop Supps and Schedule that comply with the GCR and fit the track time available to us to run. I "turn the event over" to the Chief...
