Runoffs Updates

The schedule for the 2016 SCCA Runoffs has been released. I will have four qualifying sessions on Monday (9/19) through Thursday (9/22) at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The Touring 4 race is scheduled for 5:10pm on Friday (9/23) and will be 40 minutes or 23 laps - whichever comes first.

I will post live timing info as we get closer to the event. I need one more race weekend on the SCCA US Majors Tour to qualify for the Runoffs. More details on that later!

Also released is the paddock map which shows just how many parking spots is needed to house the SCCA's biggest club racing event. I've heard rumors that this may be the biggest entry count in the history of the Runoffs....we shall see. When the reservation system opens up later this month, I will hopefully be getting a paved spot - need to be quick on the mouse click I think. Grass is fine until it rains...

The draft test day schedule has also been released by the SCCA. Damn, the first two days are expensive! I don't have nearly enough vacation/dough to make that happen but will likely run the Sunday session to get dialed in before the quali session on Monday the 19th.

Update to 2015 Racing Schedule

It's mainly SCCA National Solo events so far. Hopefully I will be adding some track related events later in the year after I get some equipment sold.

Yaw Moment Racing 2013 Schedule

Here is the link to my full schedule: http://yawmomentracing.blogspot.com/p/2012-racing-schedule.html

This year, my Dad and I are competing once again in E Street Prepared with the National SCCA Solo Series. I will be competing for the SCCA ProSolo National Championship with the following events:

APR 13-14: SCCA Mineral Wells ProSolo in Mineral Wells, TX

MAY 24-25: SCCA SpringNationals ProSolo in Lincoln, NE

AUG 31 - SEP 1: SCCA ProSolo Finale in Lincoln, NE

The ProSolo points championship takes points from three events, so I am cutting it close by only running three events. It's all my schedule will allow so I will have to make them count. 

The SCCA Solo Nationals are once again in Lincoln, NE after Labor Day (September 2nd - 6th) where we will be competing for the ESP National Championship. The SpringNationals Championship Tour over Memorial Day should be a good warm-up for the big dance. We kick the National Solo season off with the Texas Championship Tour in College Station, TX later this month. We will also be trying a new style event this year with the Match Tour (think Evo shootout from previous years) event in Mineral Wells, TX. The bracket shootout on Sunday of the Match Tour should be an exciting change from the average event....if you do well I guess! I will also be competing for a local club points championship with the Equipe Rapide Sports Car Club. I am running in the PAX based X(Pro) class against a few other National Champions so the competition should be tough. 

My karting schedule for the year is TBD. The West Texas Karting Association's schedule is up in the air at this point, but I plan to run 5-6 local races this year. I need to get back in the shifter! It's been too long.

2013 SCCA Solo Schedules

First off, here is the SCCA's 2013 Solo Series video preview:

My Dad and I are gearing up for another year of fierce SCCA competition in E Street Prepared with the trusty Camaro. I will also be racing the shifter kart when I have free weekends in 2013 and may be running a ChumpCar race with co-workers in the Fall. Look for a season preview for Yaw Moment Racing soon. 

Here is the SCCA Solo Series Schedule:

SCCA Championship Tour Schedule

SCCA Match Tour (see definition below)

SCCA ProSolo Championship

Here is the SCCA website definition of a Match Tour (sounds like fun!):

Match Tours are the latest addition to the Tire Rack SCCA National Solo Series. These events are three events in one package. The event starts off with a Saturday four run Autocross, then a two run Last Chance Qualifier on Sunday morning, followed by the final show down coming together in Evolution Super Shootout. The Shootout format allows the forty-eight fastest drivers to mix with the top four ladies, as well as twelve random drawn drivers in a four ladder tournament to see who can take home the big prize.

The top 32 qualifiers and Top 8 ladies are determined from the events overall PAX results, and are then locked into their positions for the Sunday Super Shootout. Once those drivers are locked in to the Shootout, the rest of the competitors get a second chance in the Last Chance Qualifier. Following the LCQ the top 16 are brought into the Super Shootout bringing the total number to 56. The remaining 8 Super Shootout positions will be from a random drawing of any that have not made the top 56 spots, bringing the total to 64. With the field complete, the 64 competitors are plugged into a bracket system and run against one another until only one remains.

On the karting side, I learned a lot and had fun racing my shifter kart in the Southwest Regional Cup but travelling for 5 regional kart races was tough on my vacation from work and my wallet. I decided to get back to basics (cheap, easy fun) with karting this year and run local events with the West Texas Karting Association in Midland, TX. My focus for 2012 is the National SCCA events in the Camaro, but I do not want to give up wheel-to-wheel racing so running only local club races in the kart allows me to do both. Stuart, Joe, and I can travel up to Midland and back to San Angelo in one day which makes the racing travel much easier. I am looking forward to my 5 WTKA race events during the Summer/Fall.
