WMR Majors @ Grattan 8/23, 8/24

[Dayle Frame]

Registration is now open for the WMR "Majors at Grattan" which will be held on 8/23, 8/24 (wmr-scca.motorsportreg.com). This is the last Major for the Northern Conference so the Awards Banquet will be held on Saturday evening.

The schedule looks like this:

Saturday:
25 minute Qualifying Sessions
20 lap/25 minute Sprint Races
Sunday:
10 minute E-Practices
25 lap/45 minute Feature Races

A lot of good reasons to come out:
-Conference Championships and bragging rights among your colleagues will be on the line.
-If you haven't raced here before, its an awesome race track that is very challenging.
-The track was repaved a couple of years ago and is VERY smooth. Track records will fall....it might as well be you doing it.
-The bathrooms, showers and concession stand kitchen have been completely rebuilt for this season.
-We have, BY FAR, the best track dinner Saturday night and that's included in the entry fee.

Five entries so far folks.....not a bad opening bid. There was an OK field at GMan a couple of weeks ago but we know we can do better.

There's lotsa reasons to come out to this one:

1. Let's be honest.....Grattan is more fun to drive than GMan.
2. Bragging rights and Conference championships are on the line.
3. HUGE award ceremony and BBQ dinner on Saturday night (free with entry).
4. Last Major at Grattan?
5. No event at Waterford so WHRRI folks can come on over.

I could go on, but why? You know you wanna come tho this one so just do it.

Due to a lack of entries in SRF (group 5) and DOT (group 6), we are revising the schedule. We will be combining these two groups, re-ordering the run order (so SM and STL do not run back-to-back) and adding a practice session for all groups. Here are the changes:

1. Group 5 (SRF) will be combined with group 6 (STU, STL, T3, T4). Each group only has eight entries as of this writing.
2. The combined group will now be group 6. Big formula and the sports racers will be group 5.
3. We will shorten the qualifying session from 25 to 20 minutes.
4. We will add a 15 minute UNTIMED practice session.
5. Sunday's schedule remains unchanged. Two e-prac sessions followed by the six feature races.

Note that this allows for more track time for the folks who signed up early.

Registration is still open and can be found here: wmr-scca.motorsportreg.com
