Re: SCCA 2012 Road Rallies November 10 and 11th

UPDATE!!! From Rich, the Rallymeister:
"Rally entries have been stable. 23 firm plus 5 tentative for Saturday. 10 firm for Sunday. I would say that anyone planning to attend should contact me (rbireta@gmail.com) to confirm that there is space available."

Be there or be square! :)

UPDATE! Nineteen (19) spots for Saturday have been taken so only 11 remain.
To register, simply email Rich Bireta and tell him which day you'll attend. You'll pay at the Rally.
I'm waiting to hear about Sunday's signup.
Don't miss out.

Re: Kansas Speedway Road Course

Reason #1. Cost. I checked into renting Heartland Park earlier this year and the price was thousands up on thousands of dollars. I can't imagine Kansas Speedway being any cheaper.

Who knows, maybe K.S. will have a touring club group like H.P. does.

Re: Eureka Springs Ark.

I don't know what free time you will have but if you have a chance, shoot over to Bentonville and tour the Crystal Bridges Art Museum. Although the art is phemonenal, it is worth the trip just to see the building itself.
