Race Report

Do you have your car ready for tech inspection? Competition licensed drivers probably know what to do. But did you know you can join us on the Mid-Ohio track with everything from your daily driver to fully equipped race/safety compliant car EVEN if you don’t have anything more than a state issued driver’s license? Well you can. There are several options open to you on our weekend of August 7-9. Need a driver coach? You’re covered. Ready to go it alone? Can do. Want to BE a driver coach? Let’s talk-you’re welcome. Want to ogle fancy cars? They’ll be there too.

Besides being on track there is plenty to do at the track to help Cincinnati Region put on a great event – as much or as little as you want to do. We’ll feed volunteer workers lunch Saturday & Sunday and have a picnic Saturday night with lots Jell-O “desserts”.

The annual meeting of the leaders of the Great Lakes Division is coming up in early March. Some additional details will be worked out there. Look for a registration page at CincySCCA.MotorsportReg.com shortly thereafter. More details will be available soon on the website cincyscca.com.

If you wish to join us at planning and preparation meetings on the second Tuesday each month, let me know and I’ll tell you where to find us.

RoadRally Report

So, what exactly is a Road Rally?

It’s a competition on public roads… sure. But it’s a chance to enjoy the awesome roads the Tri-State has to offer. A chance to mingle at breakfast before setting out and mingle again (and argue about the questions) at the after party. It’s a chance to make new friends. It’s a chance to find your story… to find something you didn’t know was out there, to maybe go off course and have an adventure that you can look back on and laugh about. Just want to drive the roads we find with no competitive component. We’ve got you covered too. Please join us.

Mark these tentative dates on your calendar: April 25, May 30, July 11, August 29, October 3 & November 7. Rally Masters can choose from these dates (or suggest a new date). New Rally Masters are encouraged to join in and bring new roads and ideas to our group. Ample help is available to assist with set-up, so don’t be intimidated.

Visit the cincyscca.com website for more information on Road Rally. Registration pages will be available at CincySCCA.MotorsportReg.com soon. Contact me with questions.
