Solo Report

If you are like me, the warmer weather we have had at times this winter has really made me want the race season to be here already.  Alas, then days like today (31 Jan) or this coming Friday happen where the high might reach a balmy 29 degs with real feel temps in the low 20s, let alone actual lows in the teens!  That makes me wonder why I am a member of the Cincy Region versus the Central Florida Region!  The simple answer to that is the people, the friendships I have, but still…  Along that line, the year-end banquet is this coming Sat where we will award the Region and Solo trophies and cheer on friends.   If you are receiving a trophy and cannot make it for whatever reason, perhaps one of your friends can pick up your trophy – please contact someone if you can.  MotorsportReg | racing, track day, HPDE, autocross, sport bike, karting & motocross events

Solo Committee

  • We will be having a solo meeting in Feb hopefully in order to start getting ready for the season.  If you want to help be a part of the team who helps organize our fantastic events, please let me know.

Solo Report

What a great year, thank you everyone! Happy New Year!

Not going to make a big summary, I’ve had plenty of long Solo reports throughout the year, you don’t need another one…. Just want to simply say I am very thankful for not only the fantastic solo committee who make our events some of the best run events in the whole country, but also all the competitors and family who play your part too! Can’t tell you how many people I have told about our hobby, sport, & region; but it always comes down to the people – the racing is fun, but it’s all about the friends and racing family.
