We are getting down to it now. Our Track Event, Time Trial, Double Regional Race weekend will close out the month of July, 29^th through 31^st, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Registration pages for the Friday activities, the race and for our wonderful volunteers are open at cincyscca.motorsportreg.com.

On Friday, you can take your daily driver, or any other car you can get your hands on, out on course without fear of a speeding ticket. Never done this before? A little apprehensive? We will provide you with a driver coach to help guide you until you are comfortable with running solo. A seasoned veteran? Choose the Advanced Group, which allows you less restrictive passing rules. Have a race prepared car but no competition license? Run on Friday and stay over for a 1-hour bracket race on Saturday afternoon for wheel-to-wheel racing.

The divisional races on Saturday and Sunday count for the Divisional Championship and are qualifying races for the run-offs.

We feed the volunteers lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and dinner on Saturday. It’s your chance to get up close and personal with the cars and drivers or get out on a corner where the action is.

Something for all race and car enthusiasts. Register now and we’ll see you at the track. Questions? Drop us a line at roadrace@cincyscca.com or through the registration pages.

Our date is set for the Cincinnati Region Track Event/Time Trial and Double Divisional Races at Mid-Ohio for 2022. Mark your calendar now for July 29, 30, 31. We’ll have our usual on and off-track activities plus some possible other attractions. The complete Great Lakes Division race calendar will be finalized soon. There will be lots of opportunities to be a part of the action in 2022.

Planning to get on the track in 2022 and get your Competition License? The on-track portion of Driver’s School at Waterford Hills in Michigan is April 23-24.

Join us.

Plans are coming together for our July 30 – August 1 Race weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. We are offering a full menu of regional road racing, as well as an opportunity to put your street legal or solo car on the track. We are expanding into the Time Trial option this year, and there is also an opportunity to participate in a 1-hour wheel to wheel race in your safety prepared car – even if you don’t have a competition license. With the relaxation of Covid restrictions, we expect to be able to provide in car coaches for novices.

We are always looking for volunteers to help with administration and also in the race support specialties, such as flagging, timing and scoring and grid. If driving fast is not your thing, but being around those who are driving fast is, this is your place to be. It’s fun to get up close and personal with the cars and drivers. Expectation is we will be able to have our traditional worker picnic with live entertainment.

Join us.

I am currently volunteering as a worker at a race weekend at GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Michigan. As I’m taking a break from positioning cars on the false grid, I am reminded of the reasons I do this, which in no particular order include the sounds, the smells, the bone rattling vibration of standing next to a big bore car warming up before its session, and being with the friends I’ve made over the years. The excitement of watching a good on track battle, the anticipation before a race and the pure joy on the faces of the racers as they come off track after a good race are additional perks.

You WANT to be there. Trust me on this. There are many ways to do it with Cincy Region. Come to a SOLO (autocross) event or two and get your feet wet. Then put your car-solo prepared or daily driver-on the track at Mid-Ohio for our region’s event July 30-August 1. Come to work. There are lots of places to get behind the scenes and over the fence. Come to race or come to watch. Come to hang with friends and make new ones.

It’s cold and windy here today. And even if there was liquid sunshine dripping on us too, it’s still a better place to be than anywhere else.

“Spring has sprung, the grass has ris’, I wonder where the race cars is?” They’re either getting ready for the 2021 Todd Cholmondeley IT Spec*tacular double divisional race weekend or they’re anxiously awaiting the opportunity to shake off the cobwebs and hit the track. Or they migrated south, where racing has already begun. There are a few races around Great Lakes Division before the Cincy race, but the July 31-August 1 weekend will be the first regional event of the year at Mid-Ohio. The Track Event on July 30th will give non-competition licensed drivers a chance to get their street or solo cars on the track, hopefully for TIMED laps this year. Race Committee meetings have resumed on the second Tuesday of each month. If you would like to be a part of the planning process or have requests for the committee to consider, please respond by message, email, or phone. All are welcome, but you must let us know. The March meeting will be via Zoom at the later starting time of 8PM. Direct questions to the following email or phone number.

I hope you have blocked out July 30-August 1 on your summer calendar to join us at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for our Todd Cholmondeley IT Spec*tacular double divisional race weekend and Track Event. This is an extremely popular event in the Great Lakes Division race world. There are ample opportunities to be involved both on and off the track. Come work and we’ll feed you lunch, and you can come to the Saturday night picnic in the worker campground. Besides good eats there will be special Jell-O desserts. We are looking forward to this year’s event given we had to cancel last year due to Covid.
