Come out and join NEOHIO SCCA for our "Son of Spook-tacular" Quad Regional October 20-21, 2012 at Nelson Ledges Road Course. Yes..quad means FOUR races in ONE weekend. You did the math correctly!!

Races will be 15 and 20 laps each day...LOTS of track time!


CASH PRIZES to be awarded for top finishing competitors in our 20 lap PURSUIT RACE!! :023:

This will be part of the Great Lakes Division Championship Series..this will make ALL the difference in the point standings. Championships can be WON or LOST this very weekend! :blink:

SUPER SWEEP AWARD goes to any driver that wins all FOUR races:smilie_pokal:

Would you like to be on pole position for your class? I mean who wouldnt?! Get your paid entry to the registrar FIRST for the grid for Race 1 on Saturday!

Supps and registration can be found on the NEOHIO SCCA website by visiting www.neohio-scca.org. For online entries visit www.motorsportreg.com (online registration will be open shortly) :024:

Hope to see you all there!!

I'm really looking forward to this event. Last year was a blast and I was just 1 win away from a sweep!

The pursuit race will be cool. We'll probably have 5 or more ITC cars starting within a few seconds of each other.

DO IT! I'm seriously considering converting to and running ITC next season. :023:

I really like the new schedule for the quad race and the pursuit race is a nice plus.

A lot of drivers liked this format last year so we will continue with the same format. We increased the race length per request and inputs from last year. SO bring all your tires, we're going to burn thru em before winter!!:D

Wahoo, I'm on the pole.

I also had to use the direct link, searching in the calendar didn't show the event, I wonder if it takes a day or two before it appears in the calendar?

Thanks for the link!!! 'IN' for ITA. :)

Actually considering this, but not looking forward to a 6 hour drive.....
And it better not snow.

You can warm up at the heated brewpub 15 minutes away. Stay away from the raspberry wheat though. Yuk.

Id make you sleep outside :D

Im "IN" for ITA as well, looks like Ill be starting 3rd right next to Matt Downing :) Its on!!

Entries are looking strong with still over a month to go before the race weekend! Already four cars signed up for the persuit race. Keep those entries coming in! Promises to be a very fun event and your LAST CHANCE to race before the snow balls fly! So hide your wife and hide your kids! We're going racin boys!:p

Is there a track day or test-n-tune on the Friday before (like last year)? Figure I should drive the track in the Civic since the last time my car was on that track was 1999 and it was in SS trim. :o

Would like the day to try some changes to the shocks, bars and tire pressures to see what I can get to work. I'm guessing those 1000# springs are going to beat me to death...

Matt - Nelson Ledges usually always hosts a non-sanctioned SCCA test day prior to race weekend.:023:

There is a test&tune / fun day scheduled for Friday Oct 19.
They split the cars into test&tune race cars in one group and fun day cars in the other.
You can do the full day or just a half day.

You should take video so we can sit around the fire Friday night making fun of your lines and drinking beer.

Matt - you need to make sure you drink plenty of "liquid" Saturday night to make sure you are good and "hydrated" for Sunday's race :D:p

Okay lets look at the current Improved Touring registration numbers so far with still over a month to go before registration closes!:

ITR: 0
ITS: 1
ITA: 4
ITB: 3
ITC: 5

Just a quick update here:

16 class poles have already been set! GT1, GT2, ITR, ITS, ITA, ITB, ITC, SM, EP, HP, SPU, STL, STU, DSR, SR and FV.

Will you be the next to snatch a pole position for this event?! Get your paid entry in and you will be!

Looks like we finally have an ITS entrant, Mark Keefer in his Mazda RX-7. Fast car, faster driver.

Where are you ITE drivers? Come out for a great event!!

More updates to follow as the days count down to the Son of Spook-tacular quad regional at Nelson Ledges Road Course!

Hey everyone! Just a quick update:

12 persuit race entries so far. That is going to be a fun race to watch (and even better to run!, hint hint :D)

Lets see the Improved Touring entries thus far with a little less than a month to go before the races:

ITE: 0
ITR: 1
ITS: 2
ITA: 4
ITB: 3
ITC: 6

*And I just noted the slower the classes, the more entries! ITC guys are a blast to watch! So much fun

Hope to see you all there! And as always, if you have any questions/concerns dont hesitate to post on here or email me: [email protected]

Another update here guys:
15 entries for the persuit race including everything from an ITC car to a GT-1. NOW THAT should be good!

Lets take another look at the entries thus far:

ITE: 0
ITR: 1
ITS: 2
ITA: 6
ITB: 4
ITC: 6

*Looks like a tie with ITA and ITC for most class entries. Where are you the loud and proud ITE guys?! You going to let it be a four cylinder show down?!:shrug: Get those entries in! :D

What's the plan for letting the ITC cars go for the pursuit race? Line us up 4 wide and we all go at the same time?

You will start 4 wide on the pit lane. We give you the "go" and you start. Remember only 3 cars wide can fit under the bridge at pit out so I hope you get a good jump! LOL!:blink:

Still just a tentative for me - will be a late decision if I can bump the ITA count any higher.

Does the track sell infield passes for spectators. I was going to be in the area on that Saturday and wanted to check out the event. I've never been to Nelson Ledges.

I run in ITA up here in the Northeast and would like to check out IT racing in another region.

Thanks
Abhi

Guys, I wont be able to make the Spook-tacular after all. We sold our house in INDY and are moving back to the Charlotte NC area. The sale come quicker than I had imagined! I will really miss the Great Lakes Div racers I got to know over the last few years! You are all great racers who are always willing to help when needed and I will miss racing with all you guys.:(

I do plan on racing in SAARC next year but really hope/want to return for some events when possible.

Good luck and take care!

Gary

Good luck Gary, take care yourself.

Steve,

You going to make it?? I still don't see you on the entry list. Down to 5 ITA cars... I'm sure your car would do great at Nelson. If you come - I'll get you that bolt back! Thanks for the use of it. It did GREAT as a temp solution for several years. :blink:

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the track! What a great way to end the season!!! Sorry you won't be there Gary - was looking forward to running with you. Good luck on your new 'home'. Hope to see you at some Mid-Ohio race down the road!!

Steve Linn come on out to Nelsons! I agree with Matt your twin cam Nissan would be GREAT. Nelson is a power track by far. I think you will do very well there. Only a few more days guys!

ITE: 3
ITR: 1
ITS: 4
ITA: 5
ITB: 5
ITC: 8


LETS DO THIS! :026:

Out.... :(

Docs in ITR BMW Greg Peluso ITS RX7 and Bill Cowards 1.6 SM Saturday only for all three guys!

Currently need 6 more Spec Miatas so they can get their own run group!

I have enough body work to fix this winter, don't need more! :rolleyes:

Bummer man... My mother asked if you were going to be there - for some strange reason she thinks you are a nice guy. She asked if my 'friend from Indy' was coming to the Nelson race. :)

No bolt return for you yet then... I'll save it when I pull it off and make sure you get it back. Or maybe I should hold onto it for the next time I have that issue and need a repair! It has worked great for many years!
