Keep your eyes open for the next Fastrack, around 6/20. For, as they say, "the rest of the story."

From Fastrack:
"Ozment presented an overview for determining the next venues for the Runoffs. The BoD supported a change in business
model for SCCA to rent the track as opposed to a promoter model. This allows more frequent venue changes, and better control
of the schedule. The BoD supports an annual move of Runoffs and a West Coast visit every 3-4 years. The BoD recognizes
that this is a substantial change in the current Runoffs model, both operationally and financially. All of the above has been made
public in previous BoD minutes and SCCA announcements. Club Racing was tasked with analyzing options and making a
recommendation for Runoffs tracks in next few years.
MOTION:
To approve staff’s recommendation to move the Runoffs annually with the locations for the next 3 years
approved. Details will be published in a forthcoming press release. Lewis/Kephart. PASSED Unanimous 12-0
(Wannarka absent)"
I guess we will have to wait for the specifics.

Just read the RE message in the Wheel. The date is not set but will be somewhere between 9/22 to 10/12. Preferences are to be given for SF Region drivers for regional events.

So by preferences, you mean you guys know the track? I know that already. I thought you meant there was some sort of preferential treatment for SF Region drivers. Doesn't look like thats the case. |

The preference wasn't for the Runoff, but the regional races. They expect drivers from around the country will try to enter for experience, before the Runoff. Right now there doesn't seem to be the normal week before practice sessions. I suspect classes like spec miata will be nearly impossible to enter and SRF will be greatly limited.
