Hear Ye Hear Ye Part 2 - 10/22/2006
The final Solo points are up.  Please check to make sure there are no errors for your car.  I know, many of you think I'm as close to perfect as it gets, but I confess to the occasional typo.. but it's the keyboard's fault!

JIM VICTOR FINISHES 13TH AT THE RUN OFFS - 10/17/2006
During the FC race Jim Victor moved up through the field from grid position 19 to cross the finish line at the checker flag in 10th position. Due to an on track incident involving flagging, Victor was penalized 3 positions, so the official results list him in 13th place. No less, congratulations on a fine race season!

Video Wanted... Club Racers Especially! - 10/10/2006
I'm looking for some clips for the banquet.  Digital is preferred, but I can also get stuff off VHS and VHS-C.  I don't really need long clips, just short clips that highlight your car or events you ran.  This isn't limited to 2006, it's for any event you ran over the GRR's past 40 years.  I'd also entertain still photos from club racers if you have no video.  For autocrossers, ahem, Soloists, I could use either old footage or old photos.  If you have good, newer footage and it's digital (DV tape or .avi preferred; .mpg may be accepted), I'd welcome that too.  Email: sshumard at essex1.com to make arrangements.
 

Event 11 Results & Recap - 10/1/2006
Where were you?!?!  We had a modest turnout today and it was a great day to be out.  The weather was perfect.  Jeff Meyer arranged a course you could love or "h8."  Some "L8" apexing was required.  It's a course Dean "F8" would have loved.  How might one best describe the layout of the course...  hmm.   It was like a big figure 9 with the bottom loop closed too.  Like two 0's stacked on top of each other.  Anyhow, check the result and updated season points.  Today was the 10th run event (remember Event was cancelled due to weather), so that means your 3 lowest runs are now dropped.  That really helps some of you that had one last low score dragging you down.   

Social Event - Kart Racing! - 9/26/2006
Our Asst Regional Exec, Paul Gilbert, has arranged for us to go karting at the new 61 Kartway on October 3rd.  Try to arrive by 5:45ish for a 6 o'clock start.  Cost is roughly $40 and payable to the track.  They accept credit cards.  So if you're a member and looking for some real fun on Tuesday night, get your rear up to the 61 Kartway near Welton, IA.  From the Quad Cities, head up Hwy 61 to mile marker 149 and take the next right.  You should see the light standards for the track and some flags from the road.   Please come prepared: The track requires long sleeves, long pants, closed toe shoes, gloves, helmets, neck braces and eye protection. They have loaner helmets and neck braces, the rest you’ll have to bring for yourself. For more information please see: http://www.61kartway.com

Event 10 Results & Recap - 9/17/2006
The weather forecast was threatening, but it turned out to be a nice day.  We squeezed in 5 dry runs for each group and the rain didn't really begin until about 3 seconds after the last car finished.  The results are already up, so dig in!

From the SCCA Headquarters:
At the National Championship Runoffs this year, we are making a special effort to get more SCCA members involved in our club. There are a few programs already in place (the Region Road Trip Challenge for one) that has generated a lot of interest and some friendly competition among Regions.

One program is what we are calling the SCCA VIP Volunteer for a Day program. We will have a daily drawing, beginning Thursday, for two non-licensed SCCA members (Temporary Membership is included) to participate in a specialty of their choice “up close and personal.” The members will select which drawing they want to be part of, so hopefully we will have two winners per specialty per day.  The intent is to bring that person right to the hub of activity and merely be an observer in a position that won’t affect operation of the specialty.  We will also award two SCCA renewals per day (eight total) of those that have entered the drawings. 

You can come to the SCCA Membership Hub beginning Thursday of Runoffs week for details!

Note the standings of our Club Racers in the Sept Newsletter!
In case you missed it, some of our very own are having a great year.  Jim Victor is 1st in Regional Points for FC and 3rd Nationally.  Tony Specht is 3rd in Regional FSCCA points.  Congrats to all of our club racers! 

The September Newsletter is Up - 9/16/2006
Now available for your viewing pleasure!  September 2006 River Ramblings

Event 9 (Labor Day) Results are up! - 9/4/2006
The weather held... mostly.  Since it turned out to be a pretty nice day, and we had a good, fast course, we got out early enough to get the results for event 9 compiled formatted, tallied, converted, sorted and uploaded.  Even the season point are updated. 

Labor Day Solo Event - 8/30/2006
Don't forget, our next Solo is at the Mt. Joy Airport Army Aviation Support Facility north of Davenport on Labor Day!  What better way to celebrate Labor Day than being a corner worker?

Solo 2 Results Updated - 8/20/2006
Events 7 & 8 are up, and the season total is updated as well.  The season points reflect your two lowest events being dropped.  If I erred, which of course is highly unlikely, just send me a nicely written email, one your high school grammar teacher would be impressed with, explaining where my computer went wrong.

Further, if you're not familiar with Soloist, Street Tire or Ladies scoring, there is an index called the Pax/RTP which we use to level out the fields between the classes.  If you are in STS or STX, the index accounts for your street tires, so for soloist points, there is no disadvantage because you are on them.  So either you're beating that stinking C-stock Miata or your not on your own merit! 

The August Newsletter is here! - 8/14/2006
Hot off the press! Read the August 2006 Newsletter here!

Hey Soloists, something stinks! - 8/8/2006
Make sure it's not your feet.  Friendly reminder that you must wear shoes that cover the entirety of both of your feet.  No sort of sandals or pumps may be worn.  By all means though, sport your Chuck Taylors.

Attention Kart Drivers - 8/8/2006
Kart drivers, a reminder you are required to wear long pants, shoes with socks, long sleeved jacket, neck brace, eye protection and a helmet.

See our beloved Regional Executive, Jeff Meyer for details on getting the Great River Region's credentials. 

Stolen Car & Trailer!!! - Updated!!!
By some miracle, the car and trailer were both recovered.  Tony Specht wanted to thank everyone who kept an eye out for him.  This is a good time to remind everyone to make sure they're locking things up as well as possible, and suggest making your no-descript white trailers somewhat more easily identifiable so a thief has a harder time blending in right away.  If you have a lot to protect, there are gps trackers for use on trailers.

Event 5 Results Updated - 6/18/2006
The Solo2 Chair and the Webmaster were able to work double duty to get the results up already, Enjoy!

Update to Solo 2 Supplemental Rules - 5/12/2006
There was a small update to help explain how the PAX/RTP index works.  Why is the index important?  We use the index to award bumped class, ladies class, street tire class and novice class trophies for individual event results.  For the end of the year awards, the index is used to score for Soloist of the Year, Street Tire, and Ladies Class Awards.  Follow the links for more on the PAX/RTP Index and to read our Supplemental Rules.

The RoadRally Department is offering one heck of a deal to United States Road Rally competitors this year.  Each Region (yep, 111 of them) can authorize one USRRC Rally Team per Region for a free Regional entry to this year’s championships in Kansas. There are some great driving roads here, and October is a beautiful time of the year.

Iowa Challenge 2006 - 4/18/2006
The Iowa challenge is back, but it's on August 20th, a date the GRR already has scheduled for a Solo2 points event.  Not sure how this happened as we just recently received this notification and our calendar has been posted for some time.

First Solo II - 3/31/2006
UPDATE - This event was cancelled due to heavy downpours, lightning and the threat of severe weather.  Hope to see everyone out there at Cordova before 10:15!  Be prompt.  Possible afternoon storms, so we'll want to keep moving! 

We Have a New Site!!! - 3/31/2006
Thanks to a couple of members efforts, we have a new site this year.  You may have noticed John Deere isn't on the schedule, but we hope that's just temporary.  In it's place, Corky did some talking and came up with a name and Mike Whitney followed up the discussions and landed us the Iowa National Guard's portion of the Mt. Joy airport.  Thanks to Mike and Corky for the new real estate!  We'll be there July 30 and Sept 4.

New to Autocross and SCCA's Solo II? - 3/26/2006
We've got something for you!  If you've not autocrossed before and are looking for a reason to try, we've got a $5 coupon for you.  Just print it and present it and you'll get $5 off your first SCCA Solo 2 event with the Great River Region.  Learn more about Solo 2 and how it works on our "First Time" page, where you'll also find the coupon!

The Solo II season is upon us!!! - 3/25/2006
There are some significant changes this year.  First, remember that M90 and SA90 helmets are no longer acceptable for SCCA use.  Secondly, in order to break even and keep up with insurance, lot acquisition and sanctioning costs, Solo II events will be $18 for members and $26 for nonmembers.  There will be a discount offer available to first timers.  Stay tuned for more details on that. 

Newsletters back online and newest edition online - 2/21/2006
I'll apologize one more time for the delay.  I had issues with my server that appear to be fixed now.  Our website host only gives us 10mb of space for hosting, so the large files are stored on my home server.  The good news is I'm cheap (free), the bad news is you get what you pay for!   In case you missed it, Dean Fait stepped down as editor due to time constraints and Naomi Swanson picked up from there.  So another big thanks to Dean for years of volunteering for newsletter duty, and thanks to Naomi for carrying on the torch.  So check out the newsletters!  Click the links off to the right!

Tentative Solo II Schedule - 2/21/2006
The tentative Solo II Schedule for the 2006 season is posted.  We were not able to secure the John Deere lot this year due to scheduling conflicts on their end, but they have left the door open to using their lot again in the future.  The Whiteside County Airport has been pleased enough with the way we clean up after ourselves that they're allowing us 3 events there.  This is a good time to remind all that lots are not easy to acquire, so we should be courteous, respectful and on our best behavior at events.

We're Back in Business! - 2/16/2005
Sorry for the delays, but we're up and running again.  Look for newsletters and updated schedules in the next week!!!

Web Server Issues - January
My apologies for the lack of updates.  One of the servers had a minor hiccup.  The newsletters are temporarily offline, but will be back sooner than later, I'll post an update when they're ready to go.  The rest of the website will remain up.

It's fairly quiet around the region this time of year, but I know of at least one ice racer in our ranks.  For everyone else, have fun tire shopping, mod tweaking and the rest.  The Solo II committee will meet soon to start work on the 2006 schedule... something to look forward to, 

Also, the past few years, we've held a social event to tie us over in the winter at the F1 Indoor Karting Track.  Unfortunately, they closed.  So if you have ideas on what you'd like to do, share them with Jeff Meyer!  We eager to have your input!

Finally, if you're using an M90 or RA90 helmet, they're no longer good for use with the SCCA.  Time to upgrade to M95/RA95 or newer!

Congratulations Award Winners!!! - 11/13/2005

I've updated the season totals through event 7, which means both events from the John Deere weekend are included. 

John Deere Event Racers - 8/7/2005
We'd like to thank everyone who came out and joined us for the weekend-long event..  About everyone agreed the courses were quite fun.  With runs hovering around 80 to 90 seconds, it's certainly a good time to be autocrossing.  However, it's a bad time to be a tire!  Hope to see everyone August 21st at Cordova.

Friendly Reminder to Pack Your - 7/29/2005
Not only is water important (at the very minimum, a gallon) but so is motor oil!  I think we've lost two motors this year due to inadvertently running cars low on oil.  Take two minutes to check your oil level and save yourself a couple grand and a lot of headaches.

July 31st Solo II Event is a Go! - 7/20/2005
Great News!  We've received word that the July 31st event at will be held as originally planned.

Friendly Reminder to Solo II Participants!!! - 7/16/2005
It's hot, it's humid, you're standing in a sea of pavement or asphalt, you need to drink lots of water.  One or two small bottles won't cut it in these hotter months.  Be prepared as most sites don't have access to drinks.. 

July 31st Solo II Event Now Tentative - 7/11/2005
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we may lose the use of the John Deere lot on Sunday, July 31.  Saturday's event will still be run.  Unfortunately, some construction work to the area may prevent the lot from being used on Sunday.  We will keep you updated here.  This site will remain updated through the night of July 30th, so stay tuned for details.  If you're at the event on the 30th, we'll let you know then what the status is.  An email to the current Solo II list will also be dispatched.  UPDATE: The event is going to be held as originally planned!!!

Season Points are Now Online!!! - 6/21/2005

Social Event - Should've Been There! - 2/29/04
Paul Gilbert showed everyone a thing or two.  A few guys missed the memo explaining the difference between bumper cars and karts.  And a few more found out they were better off in bigger pony cars than in a 150lb go-kart.  No less, everyone was very complimentary of the Whitneys' hospitality after the race.  There was nearly as much pizza, pop, and desserts as there was bullhockey at the table!   That's a lot!
