Land O’ Lakes Region - Results of Jack Pine Sprints

2011 Jack Pine Sprints - was hosted by Land O' Lakes Region SCCA at Brainerd Int'l Raceway, MN on July 9-10, 2011.

Race Results

Over 72 entrants in 6 groups competed in this regional event, which included vintage race cars. There was also an "Australian Pursuit" trophy dash for all closed-wheel cars. Each driver was given a handicap based on their best time for this 7 lap race, which took place at the end of day Saturday. Faster cars started from the back, giving every one a chance to cross finish line at same time. A few more laps were needed for the dash on BIR's 2.5 mile road course. It was different and very interesting to watch.

Brainerd International Raceway - Paddock Map

Map work I did for Land O' Lakes Region SCCA. This is the competition paddock area for BIR's 2.5 mile competition road course at Brainerd Int'l Raceway.  I starting with part of an existing track map and added some access roads, technical areas and buildings.

It shows competitors and race officials the locations of parking, information, tech inspection, scales, false grid (car line-up), pit areas, and post-race impound for race cars. All areas necessary for the function of SCCA club racing.  (By Stacy Scharch)

IIRA Ice Race - Madison Lake, MN

Round 4, International Ice Racing Association on Madison Lake, MN,  February 12-13, 2011.  This was the perspective from my corner while working flagging and communications.  The cars really do get this close. Mark Utecht's Impreza #83 (below) won Sunday's Enduro. These cars run on studded wheels and grip lake ice as good or better than on dry pavement, so there are some G-forces felt.  Drivers slide through turns at a slip angle of 30 degrees or more, often with wheel hang on inside rear. The course was over a mile in length with several left and right hand turns.  I was able to snag a ride in one of Mayhem Racing's Subaru Imprezas, identical to one featured below.
