    Classing

    Seriously, the Rulebook is always the best place to start. Look at Stock (but in this case you already know you’re not), then go to each of the other Categories of increasing allowed modifications.

    Look for a Category that does not exclude what you have added.

    Then search the list of cars grouped for each category.

    As you do this, you quickly begin to see what modifications are allowed where. 

    Any Decision On 2022 Fall Season Event Format

    Yes. I found this in the published minutes available on this site. Some discussion there. This was decided last March.

    There will be 6 run groups. 4 competition and 2 time only. Each will have a max of 38 drivers. So the spots for comp runs are the same as we have now, plus two more run groups for time only. You work one group for each group you run. Usually it’s a/c, b/d and e/f. If you do not elect to do time only you can leave after you work and run for the comp runs. If you stay for time only you run and work one more time. 
     

    Our region has done all of our events for almost 20 years this way. We only switched to the half day events to get around COVID event size limits in 2020. 

     

    Along with four timed runs for scoring, TO’s will usually have four runs too, time allowing.

    If some of you ever wonder where you can get this info, just research the list of events on the SCCA Solo Page: https://www.scca.com/pages/championship-tour

    There's the whole list. Each past event has compete results ("Official Class Results"). Pax info and more provided.

    And here is the actual results drawn from the this event Page: https://cdn.connectsites.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/063/364/Full Class Results Final.pdf?1657491101

    Can be fun to see what cars are winning your Class Nationally with the best drivers.

    May 22nd Event Registration Open - Musselman

    in Tucson Autocross

    Posted

    Frustrated. All of the Tucson hotels even around Cortaro have doubled their prices this weekend ($150’ish). The hotel nearest Musselman was always pricey, but it’s gone insane at $260/night.😳

    Guess we’ll have to drive down that morning. Getting too old for this.

    Big doings in or around Tucson this weekend?🤨

    I agree with this assessment. At the highest levels of competition amongst those cars considered to be THE cars to have for the class, might be cause for concern.

    Most of us do not have that car, nor are our cars prepared to a National level. Did you spend $10,000 on your shocks, and are they double-adjustable for example?

    No?

    I’d buy a reasonably priced aftermarket cat and call it a day.👌

    And……

    The master plan, which a quick review of the drawing will illustrate, sits directly atop the existing Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park 1/4-mile dragstrip, the neighboring Firebird Lake, the various road courses, and all associated property. The master plan, already approved by the Gila River Indian Community, is intended to include a large-scale sports and entertainment district, hotels, a wellness center, an event center, an outdoor amphitheater music entertainment venue, sports facilities, outdoor recreation and parks, restaurants, retail, and an office park. The development will also include a larger-capacity stadium for the Phoenix Rising Football Club.

    “This expansion furthers our vision to provide additional economic development opportunities for Wild Horse Pass, GRIC, and the Greater Metropolitan Phoenix area,” said Donald Antone, Chairman of the WHPDA Board of Directors.

    “The new development plan will create exceptional entertainment and lifestyle experiences, new jobs for community members, and will evolve our culture and legacy,” said David White, WHPDA General Manager.

    Wild Horse Pass officials are reportedly suggesting the development could take upwards of 10 years to bring to fruition, providing a little extra life for the 37-year-old Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park. Reliable sources have told Dragzine that members of the tribe have openly discussed the possibility of rebuilding the track elsewhere on its expanse of protected land should the development go through.

    Reporting the Passing of Autocrosser Mike Rogers

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Mike Rogers was an avid autocrosser of many years and owned his fair share of fun cars.  From New Mexico, to here, to California, and then back home to us here.

    March 1st he succumbed to an unknown condition only discovered while being treated for a recent fall. He fully expected to heal his cracked ribs within a few months, and be back in action with us then. But fate intervened.

    You may have known him for his enthusiastic flogging of his current blue Civic Si in H Street, he was a student and champion of our sport, always willing to discuss technique and strategy with other old timers as well as any newbies. Previously he enjoyed driving and competing in his Miata and before that an RSX.

    He was a gentleman, enthusiast, and as kind and caring of an individual as one could ever meet. A real asset to our community. A clear case of life just not being fair.

    His wife Chris shared that should anyone care to donate to St. Vincent de Paul in his name, that would be great. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated.

    A short memorial for all friends of Mike will be held Wednesday April 6th at 2:00pm, at the Prince of Peace Church in Sun City West……14818 W. Deer Valley Drive. Any cards could be sent to Chris Rogers, 12414 W Morning Dove Drive, Sun City West, AZ 85375-1936.

    Thank you all.
