IT’S OFFICIAL! WE HAVE A SOLO SERIES IN THE GREAT LAKES DIVISION!
After a couple of months of meetings and phone calls, we are pleased to announce that the Great Lakes Division has a Solo series!
The Series schedule is as follows:
May 16-17Â Â Â Ohio Valley Region at OSU
June 6-7Â Â Â Â Â Â South Bend Region at Grissom
June 28Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Northwestern Ohio Region at Toledo Express
July 18-19Â Â Â Â Detroit Region/Saginaw Valley Region at Oscoda
August 8-9Â Â Â Great Lakes Divisional Championship at Grissom
The sponsors for the Series will be SoloPerformance.com, AXWare, Mid-Atlantic Motorsports and The Tire Rack.
The soloseries.org website will be sporting some changes to it as well in the near future. Make sure that you check out that site.
The committee for the series is comprised of the following competitors:
Velma Boreen – Divisional Solo Steward
Marlene Obenour – Division Solo Steward and Bulletin Editor
Don and Steve Elzinga – Website Administrators
Kim Bollinger – Schedule
Travis Robuck – Pointskeeper
Andy Bell – Regional Liaison
Grayden Obenour – Rules Enforcer
One of the biggest changes that is taking place for 2009 is that points will be given for each day of competition. This will allow a competitor to come to just one day of a two day event and potentially get more than just 20 points, which is the amount that they would have received previously. For event trophy purposes, the two day events will still be combined time events.
The Series has the backing of the SCCA National office so the hope is that all of the Regions in Great Lakes Division will encourage their members to attend at least one of the events and have so much fun that they will come to more of them. The step after that is getting people to attend The Great Lakes Division Solo Championship or a National Tour and then making the trip to Lincoln, Nebraska for the Solo National Championship event in September!
The Regions that are hosting events in 2009 have proven track records and the competitors know that they will be participating in a quality event when they attend one of the Series events.
Any questions – check the soloseries.org website and the contact information for those on the committee will be there. Feel free to contact anyone on the committee. They are there to help.
