IMPORTANT NOTICE

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME - Sunday March 14th!

Just a friendly reminder that this Sunday (March 14, 2010) is Daylight Saving Time, so remember to set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed Saturday night, or you will be late for our 2nd Solo Championship.  The event will be held at Cohen Stadium, starting at 8am with the drivers meeting at 10am.

As always, we need volunteers to help set up the course in the morning and after the event we will need volunteers to take down the course.

Come and join the fun and excitement of the day!

Notes for 2010 SCCA Solo and Drift Rules PDF Print E-mail
We wanted to give everyone a heads up to some safety issues that have occurred in the past and that will be checked during tech inspection rigorously during events this year.
 
  • All vehicles must have all the bodywork in place (bumpers, doors, etc.) and attached safely (dzus fasteners, bolts, screws,etc.) no plastic zip ties at all.
  • All vehicles must have proper vehicle insurance (the only exception to this requirement is that if the vehicle is not registered for the street (it of course can't be driven to Cohen on the street if it isn't) and/or is a "True Trailer Queen" RACECAR).
  • Third, we will be following SCCA's 2010 sound limits at all our solo and drift events for this year at Cohen.  The SCCA limit is at 100 dBs.  Currently this will be the respected limit.  We are considering lowering the limit to 98 dBs as the SCCA sound limit in the rulebooks is for an airport site, while we have people living right across the street from us at Cohen Stadium.  As an example: Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA has a 93 db sound limit.  All vehicles must have quiet mufflers and/or resonators in place at all times, including turbocharged vehicles.  The lowering of the limit will be discussed during our February Members meeting which is at Jaxon's on the West Side the first Monday of every month at 6:30pm.
  • We will be checking all safety belts, aftermarket seats and their installations according to the current SCCA GCR and/or Solo rulebook. 
 
2010 Solo and Drift Seasons posted! PDF Print E-mail

The 2010 Season has been finalized and published.  Please note all of these events are subject to change or cancellation.  While we do not generally attempt to cancel events, sometimes weather conditions may require us to cancel the event.

Events posted include a total of 15 solo events (A total of 6 being 2 day events with a Fast Five Runoffs, Divisional Championship, and the Solo Shootout). 

Posted events also include 5 Drift events.  We hope to see more drifters turn out to events this season, we have scheduled 5 drift events ahead of time and plan on holding all of them.  Please attempt to pre-register for these events, and make as many as possible.

In order to be eligible for year-end points that competitors need to be:

  • a current SCCA member (they do not need to be a Pan Am Member)
  • must compete in at least six (6) events
  • A SCCA competitor (member) may count up to ten (10) events towards their "year-end" tally before they have to start dropping any additional event scores. 
  • In the event of a tie, the competitor with highest scores from their first five consecutive event scores will be declared the Year-End Champion!
 
2009 Season Comes to an End PDF Print E-mail

With the Solo Shootout on October 31st/November 1st the PanAm SCCA season comes to a close.  We would like to thank all of those who have participated in events, and in the members meetings. We especially would like to thank all of those members who have given so generously of their time in helping make this region function; everyone on the board, all the chairs, and all the members who came out and helped work the track.

With the season ending we will also have the usual "End of the Year Awards Dinner", it will be held on January 9th, 2010 to beat the usual Christmas chaos.  The location for the event has yet to be decided but it will be posted here once it is confirmed.

The 2009 season saw the beginnings of our new Drift program, while the last Drift event was not attended at levels we would like; we understand that the uncertanty of more drift events caused problems with some drifters.  Well in the 2010 season we are planning on having several drift events, hopefully those will have more drivers attending, so stay tuned for that.  Remember, your continued support by registering early, and attending the drift events will make them continue to happen.
