Last I heard we have around 20 or so entries. I have been sort out of the loop this year. I'll see if I can find out anything.

I believe Kirk Knestis with Team Conover (ITB VW) is looking for funded drivers and wants to get a team together so they can come back to Nelsons....
Id check with him.

I got this from the Dorothy Harrington, chief registrar:

Volume 6 Issue 6
June 22, 2009

OK time is getting short. We are no longer taking "Intents to Enter". Now we need entry forms completely fill out and either a check for your balance or full payment if you have not sent in an intent with the $100 deposit. OK, so if you already put your Intent in the mail, we will still take it, but time is getting short and we need to get things under control.

We have add a few more names to our, hopefully growing, list of possible entrants.

Welcome to our new comers. I am sure you will have fun at this event. Remember, it all started here, at Nelson Ledges over 20 years ago.

As you can see there is plenty of room for more. I have a lot of promises so we are looking for YOU. Don't make me start naming names here. OK, so I'm begging. Did I say Hippie Racing ?

Supps and entry are on-line at the Neohio web site. Click this to take you there.
neohio-scca_dot_org
Be sure to read them. As I stated before, nothing really has changed but the entry fee down to $500 and no limit on the number of drivers as long as they are within the number of drivers/crew you are allowed.

If your looking for a ride or a driver for your team, drop me a note here and I will post with the next newsletter.

Also pass the word about the Double Regional to be held on the Sunday after the 12 hour. Registration will be open for the first 40 in each of 6 race group. Your drivers or crew (must be an SCCA licensed driver per the GCR & Supps) can bring their own car (SCCA Teched) for more seat time. Low cost, 2 sanctions numbers, and a really quick races. This will start with a qualifying race first. The grid order will be random draw at registration. The first feature race will be gridded by those results. The second feature race will be grided by the results of the first feature race. As of right now, we are looking at 10 lap races.

The Supps and entry form for that will be posted at dlbracing_dot_com for on-line registration and at the Neohio web site for downloading. Just a note here. Do to the low entry fee, cash or check will only be accepted for either race. There is no on-line registration for the 12 Hour and the supps will only be posted on the Neohio web site.


If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call. 440-933-8420

Boy. that brings back alot of memories. I remember alot of the cars from the '85 and '86 years. In 1985 that was the year that the 944 Turbo was there prior to being released in the US. They were actually european spec cars IIRC. Also in 85 was the peugot station wagon of course we called it the grocery getter

Actually my age is catching up to me it was actually '83 when the factory used sewickley as well of a couple other dealers, bedford and I think motorcars and entered a prototype of what was to be the 944 turbo.
