Car loudness:

Thank you all for keeping your car quiet on the day. We did have a meter on site and no one really went over to much.

Championship Standings:

I need some time to sort these out, but I will post soon.

Workers:

I can never thank you enough for coming out and helping, you really make the day happen. THANK YOU! (and I am sure the $40 helps   )

RALLYCROSS CONCERNS:

I have a few:

First off, at the drivers meeting I said that I wanted to get for sure 6 runs, and it would be up to you if you wanted 7.

7 Runs is only possible with support of YOU! You have to be lined up ready to go, cameras on, belts done up, windows up, helmets on and in gear when the car in front of you starts their run!  It is not hard to do this, there are numbers on your cars and we run in order. PLEASE PLEASE try and be on time for your run.

Secondly, I have heard that there was someone riding on the back of a car going from the service area to the track. And guess what? They fell off and hurt themselves. Lets not be idiots, this sport is dangerous enough so lets try and keep as safe as possible.

Rule Changes:

Some new rules / Sub Reqs will be in place for September and going forward:

• Competitors have to run their run within 3 cars numbers of their start order or will be classed as a DNS and will not get that turn. Unless, if work is needed on the car and the driver/crew notifies HQ/Scorer (person running laptop) and then you will get up to 10 places to get started.
• DNF notification now has to be given to HQ/Scorer (Person running laptop). If you are pulling out of the event please let the person running the laptop know so that we can keep track of who is still running.
• Anyone seen riding on a car and not in it will have that car disqualified. No questions.
• Timing Equipment: Finish timing equipment is classed as part of the stop box and will be included in the 1 minute penalty if hit.

I understand that these might sound harsh. Rules and safety items are in place to keep events smoothly and with no one getting hurt. If you want events like these to stay alive, we have to stay alive. Simple.

Timing Equipment:

We rented this from RSO after their very costly purchase. I believe it really helped out from a organizers perspective. But I would love to hear what you thought?


Thank you
James

Be afraid class 1, be very afraid!

Looks to me like a little green Hyundai that I might have seen a few times.

Spent most of yesterday working on the course - put 35 tons of stone and limestone screenings into the corners. It's in the best shape now that it has ever been.

There is a bit of rain in the forecast - no problem - it will improve the track, not hurt it - no dust and the surface will be tougher.

Excellent day of RallyCross - amazing weather, 35 entries, good competition. Bummer to those who had mechanical issues, especially some so early on. Thanks to all the volunteers for doing a great job. Three more people trained on the electronic timing system.
