I don’t know about all of you but it was nice to get some seat time again…
I was talking to Bob Roark about a week ago and he was saying that it’s been a long stretch since our last race. “I think I’ve got some withdrawals going on here. I need to get back out and dodge some cones again soon” I know what you mean Bob; I was going through the same thing myself.
The last installment of the NocternoX events will be on Aug. 14 after the Drift School.
Some changes and announcements about the event.
The parking and grid will be on the South side of the event site.
This event will be know as the “two-way” event. Basically the course will be designed to run it both directions. So..the plan is as follows:
1st Session run the course west to east…each driver will get 5 runs.
Short break to alter the directional cones
2nd Session run the course east to west…each driver will get 5 runs.
A drivers best time for each session will count…those two times are added together and the sum is the total time for the event.
So…come out and have some fun trying out the two way event…
See you all there.
Put this little video together while out at the event last night. Pretty much only run group, but still think it shows how much fun can be had at the events!!!!

I know that it is only July, but at the meeting on this coming Tuesday, nominations will be opened till the Sept. membership meeting. That give everyone 2 full months to nominate someone or nominate themselves into the election process for the 2011 BOD.
The positions will be the same….so if you think you can take the time, or know someone that can, to plan and execute 2 or 3 different schedules of events next year; then email any of the board members in the contact section your nominations. It isn’t required to nominate people to all of the positions, you can basically do as you please regarding it. The only real rule to it is that the person you are nominating has to be a current member of the SRRSCCA.
These nominations will be taken till Sept. Then a ballot will be formed and the elections will take place.
The positions are as follows.
Regional Executive
Asst. Regional Executive
Secratary
Treasurer
Editor
3 positions of Activity Directors
So…email one of us your nominations…and we will see you at the meetings.
Thanks.
I’m gonna have the big grill out feeding the Evo people so we might as well put it to good use, show up around 2- bring what you want and I’ll grill it up. I’ll have some stuff on hand, if you want something or are bringing something let me know!
Registration and Tech will open up right at 3, close at 4… drivers meeting will be at 4:35. Depending on Evo the course should be open for walking at 4… if not it will be open after the meeting… either way I want 1st car on course by 5.

As we did last season…the SRRSCCA is providing the opportunity of participating in the Evolution AutoX schools.
Links to the Evolution driving school site
http://www.evoschool.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=163 Evo I registration June 24
http://www.evoschool.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=204 Evo II registration June 25
Cost is $250 per class. You have to have been through the Evo I class before you can participate in Evo II. The instructors are national level champs and drivers, and the instruction and amount of seat time is well worth the price of the classes. There are still slots available so if your interested sign up soon.
The afternoon of the 24th, right after the Evo I class is done…will be the third installment of the NocternoX of the season. Since the Evo School will be going till 4, things will run a little different then normal. Firstly, while the school is going on, we won’t be inside of the gates. So registration and tech will happen outside of the gates. Registration will be set up near the gate opening, and tech will be ran in the parking area somehow. If everyone works together and we have a good amount of people come early to help out with tech and registration, things should be ready to roll once the event site is clear. Once the school is over, course will be built, drivers meeting will hopefully be done, pull in cars, and away we go.
Pre-registration is open and waiting for the 24th autox. For you that seem to be late getting to it, the online registration will be closed on the 22 at around midnight.
Interesting note, the Evo School instructors last year, saw that we were running an event after the school, and were super bummed that they didn’t bring cars to drive. They were super interested in running a “night” event, apparently they are unique to us. This year sounds different. Some of the instructors have indicated that they are bringing their personal cars, to run in the event. So come run with what are referred to as the “big dogs.”
See you all out there…
