This is your first announcement about an added challange that will take place this October at the MVR Double Regional at Nelson Ledges. Nelson Ledges track facility sits on the border of two divisions of the SCCA, and therefore seems to be a venue that begs for a competitition between the two divisions, The NorthEast Division, and the Great Lakes Division. This year when you race this event you will be automatically entered as a competitor from your division in this head to head battle. There is no extra cost for this event. We just need the points from NE drivers so that we can beat the GL division and have bragging rights for the coming year.
My name is Carl Holbrook, an MVR member, and the representitive for the NE division drivers. The Great Lakes division has a representitive as well, Greg Vandersluis, who shall go down in defeat if we do our job well!
Entry forms are at www.mvrscca.org and the Divisional Shootout rules are at http://www.mvrscca.org/events/2009divisionalshootout.pdf to see how the whole thing will work.
You can contact me with questions at my email address [email protected].
Greg can be contacted at [email protected] if any GL members happens to read the NE section of the Improved Touring website.
Plan on attending. MVR always puts on a great event. I will be adding updates as we get closer to the event.
See you there, Carl #41 ITC Renault Alliance
 
OK gang, let's keep the NE entries coming in so that we can win the first Divisional Shootout at Nelson Ledges!!! I know we are good enough on track, we just need to be strong (in numbers) enough to do it.
See you there,
Carl
 
What Carl said...keep those entries coming in! Only 12 more days till the event! I am heading the Great Lakes Division so if you have any questions...send me a message or send me an email at [email protected]

Should be a good event.
May the best division win!:smilie_pokal:

I thought Ryan was running? Maybe he's tired of Nelson after the Lemons race.

I'm still hoping to come up but work is kicking my *ss. I actually tried to run the race this weekend at MO instead, but I just couldn't make it happen. 55 hour weeks make it hard to prepare. I'm going to try hard though. It's going to be a long winter and I want to bask in the glow of passing Jay until spring.
 
Before I lay my car down for my home division, may I ask what the prize will be? What will be the spoils of this grand undertaking known as the Great Divisional Shootout?
Maybe we should commission the creation of a fine chalice for the winning division. It can be called "The Vandersluis Cup" :D

So who is bringing their snow tires for Saturday. Weather looks pretty bad for Saturday with highs in the mid-30's with a 70% chance of rain and snow showers:blink:

Looks like I might have to bust out the old Falken Azenis:eek:

I'm guessing that if I run my Toyo's that I will be uping the starting pressures at least 3 to 4 lbs.

See everyone there:happy204:

Yeah, kinda like pro racing's Vanderbilt Cup, which dates back to the earliest days of the last century.

Just checked the GCR to see if Sno-Cats are listed under ITR. Damn. Given the weather forecast, I sure could use one....:D
 
Results are in

It was a good fight with many lead changes over the weekend . At the end of racing on Saturday the points spreads was only 4 points, Great Lakes leading 1016 to 1012 for Northeast . Sunday Team Northeast dug themselves a big big hole when 2 of their 3 points earning cars took each other out bringing out an extended red flag. They battled back hard but the hole was just to deep with the number of races left in the day. When the final points were added up Team Great Lakes won the Inaugural Divisional Shootout for the Nelson Ledges Cup with 1976 points over Team Northeast and their 1952 points. Two days of racing with every car entered having an impact on the points and it comes down to only 24 points difference . Just remember that the trophy is up for grabs again next year, Team Great Lakes will have to defend it and Team Northeast has a year to get ready to take it away.
