For those of you who haven't tried a SCCA and/or a Pro-Solo event before here's a great chance:


Mineral Wells Marque Club Challenge

The SCCA has created a new program at the Mineral Wells ProSolo aimed at marque club members who have never participated in ProSolo events before. Entrants will be given a free SCCA Trial Membership and a special class will be created so that marque club members can compete amongst themselves for bragging rights and cash prizes!

• For the Mineral Wells event the new Marque Club Challenge class is open only to competitors new to ProSolo (defined as drivers who have not run a ProSolo event in the last 5 years).

• The class is open to any make or model of car that can pass a basic safety inspection.

• They will be placed together in an index class based on how their car would be classed in SCCA Solo classes. If we get enough entries we can divide the classes by Marque so the BMW’s can run against each other, the S2000’s can run against each other, etc.

• Each entrant will be given a free SCCA Trial Membership (valid for 15 days). Within 30 days of the event entrants may apply this Trial Membership toward a $15 discount on a full SCCA membership.

• Entrants will pay the standard $85 ProSolo entry fee.

• After class competition is completed, the top drivers scored by index will be automatically entered into the Marque Club Challenge, a single-elimination runoff to determine an overall winner. If there are 4 or fewer entrants, it will be a 2-car runoff. If there are 5 or more entrants it will be a 4-car runoff.

• The overall winner will receive a free 1-year SCCA membership, a free ProSolo entry at a future event, and a $75 cash prize from Vorshlag Motorsports. The Runner-Up will receive a free ProSolo entry to a future event and $25 cash prize from Vorshlag Motorsports.


How to enter:

• Pre-entry is required. Entrants must download the ProSolo entry form and fax it to the attention of Nancy Downing at the fax number shown on the form. (Online entries will not be accepted for this class.)

• Payment can be made by credit card on the fax form or by bringing a check to the event.

• Late fees have been waived for this event. We will accept entries into the Marque Club Challenge as late as 7:00 Friday evening at the event site. However, we are asking all competitors to please fax their entries in to Nancy no later than Wednesday, May 17 if at all possible.

• Prior to the event drivers should try to familiarize themselves with the SCCA Solo and ProSolo rules which area available for download from the SCCA website at tinyurl.com/en4nq. Novice instruction in starting procedures and event format will be available on Friday afternoon and evening at the event.

• Drivers should bring their own Snell SA 95 or newer helmet as loaners will not be available at the site.

• Drivers should try to prepare their own easily legible car numbers and class letters according to section 3.7 of the SCCA Solo Rules, e.g. numbers minimum 8" tall, class letters minimum 4" tall. (The class designation will be "MC") Required decals will be available at the event site free of charge.

Howdy,

Damn, how desperate are they for entrants anyway?

Very.
I wanted to go, but it is the weekend before Peru and OUCH that's a long drive and I'd be a hurting puppy for a while.
