SOLO REPORT: Al Hermans
Event #3 was held on June 9. 146 drivers attended. We sold 10 no work options.
Events #4 and #5 (MiDiv) were held on June 29 & 30. Unofficially, there were 126 drivers on Saturday and 137 drivers on Sunday. The number of drivers who came both days has not yet been determined.
Registration is open for Event #6 on July 28. 26 entries so far. That same weekend on Saturday we are hosting a Starting Line school. Info and registration can be found here: https://www.scca.com/pages/starting-line-autocross-school
The next MiDiv solo event is August 3 & 4 in Lincoln, NE. Registration can be found at https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/r-s-sps-midwest-divisional-solo-championship-lincoln-Air-park-scca-nebraska-231677.
The MiDiv series is sponsored by SPS and R&S Racing.
We invested in some new radios as the number of functioning older ones was at a critical level as far as having one for all of the stations and other staff. They are partially compatible with the old units so we may have to return them in exchange for more compatible units.
Registration for Solo Nationals opened on June 25 at 3:00 PM CST. After 90 minutes, it was sold out. We are once again partnering with KS Region on a tent and joint paddock space. Greg Reno is the coordinator for this and interest in a paddock space with the group should be emailed to him at greno@sunflower.com.
Street Survival is also coming up on August 17. As usual, we are looking for coaches and volunteers to help out. If you know any students who might be interested, have them check out www.streetsurvival.org.
KVRG REPORT: Chris Kern
There was an event at Ozarks last month. Next year they would look at a different date (July) so as not to be close to June Sprints.
Next event is Bassakwards at Hallett on July 13-14.
Ed Nicholson, Chris Kern and Bob Henson are the KVRG appointees from KCR.
RALLY CROSS REPORT: Niles Davis
The last rallycross was at Ray Rocks. 14 attended Saturday, 10 Sunday.
The next event is July 14 at I-35 Speedway.
Max requested $300 to donate to Un-Naturally Aspirated for the March charity event. He made a motion. Josh seconded. Discussion: Jessica noted we saved 50% as it was a charity event so the net cost is $97. Vote was unanimous.
Paula RE accepted a $210 anonymous donation to the rallycross group. It was greatly appreciated by the whole club.
