Good Job Jerry thanks for posting. I have a few questions.

Does the June 8-10 event with the grand am race qualify for regional points this year?

On the events where they have a National and Regional race on the same weekend, can they come up with a discounted rate on the regional if you sign up for the national? you would get more participation on the regional and it would be affordable to do. Last year in July it was a pretty big hit to do both if you wanted to.

Frank,

Currently, the June IT/SM Shootout at Mid-Ohio is not part of the Regional Championship Series. You might contact your region (OVR) to give them your opinion.

As for the combined Regional/Nationals, the pricing structure is entirely up to the hosting region. A lot of things go into the pricing and each region determines what they want for their event. When I look at events I want to run, I look at entry cost per track time, but that has to be tempered for the various tracks. Not suprising, the better/more popular tracks cost more to rent. But like you, I thought there was some disparity between regional and national costs at certain events last year, and would have welcomed a combined discount, especially when track time was shared between both.

Jerry is the driver school in May just a driver school or is there a double regional with it?

As AJ said, it is just a Double Drivers School. It is listed as Friday, Saturday, Sunday, but I don't know the actual schedule. Dayle Frame (frameh at msu dot edu) is the Lead Instructor, and he might have a better idea of the specific agenda. But I do know that he is looking for volunteer instructors for the school. A great way to give back to our sport.

Glad to see the Grand Am weekend will be for regional points. We had a good turnout last year when we were racing for no points. That was one of the most fun weekends i have ever raced. It was clean and I was competitive.

It was a blast to see so many fans in the stands, funny no one wanted my autograph.

It was a lot of fun running with Grand Am last year. For 2012, OVR decided to eliminate the restricted regional race from the OVR/Cincy Double National the week before in order to make life easier for everyone. While the schedule and invited classes have not been set by OVR, I would find it hard to believe that it will not be Improved Touring and Spec Miata. Making the Shootout one of the Champ Series races will mean that more GLD racers will participate, so watch for the entry form and don't procrastinate. There will probably only be 66 cars allowed. Additionally, along with the Rolex Daytona Prototypes and GT cars, the schedule calls for Continental Tire Challenge (GS & ST), Trans Am, and the Playboy MX-5 Cup. The Shootout is currently scheduled for a 30 minute session Friday afternoon, 20 minutes on Saturday, and three 30 minute sessions on Sunday. Schedule is still not official, so everything is subject to change.

Frank, did you miss the autograph session at noon on Saturday last year? The babes were hot!
