Re: Points Card Squatting

There is something that they do in Chicago region that I think is really kewl. For the numbers 1-20, they are awarded to the people that are the top 20 in pax for the season. So, like year end class points where we take our best 9 events, we'll take the best 9 events of all competitors and figure o...

As part of the discussion process, it would be good to know just how many numbers are being held by those competing in the minimum number of events.

Re: 2016 Event Dates

We're still in contracting phase, so nothing is set in stone yet. As dates usually do shift around at this point, we're not releasing anything as preliminary. Shouldn't be much longer though.

Paid Flaggers Needed for Red Bull Global Rallycross

Received the following request from Bill Armitage. No flagging experience necessary. There are only two flags (red and yellow, and you'll be told when to fly the red flag) and you will get training beforehand. I am a long time member of SCCA out in the Great Lakes Division. I have been tasked by USA...

something like this... 1,2 1,3 2,3 2,1 3,1 3,2 carts 4,5 4,6 5,6 5,4 6,4 6,5 We do use this format (3*2) when we're lower on headcount. The event will literally stop moving for 20 minutes as we do change-overs. It is so inefficient that we try to get to a 4*2 or a 5*1 as quickly as possible. I have...

Can anyone explain the background or reason for this rule. It allows camber modifications to be made on some cars but not others. And the method of modification seems less than ideal.
It simply allows manufacturer approved methods of adjustment.
