2010 Land O' Lakes Region SCCA Jack Pine Sprints

This club racing event was the first for Land O' Lakes Region SCCA in 10 years at Brainerd International Raceway (BIR).  Great effort and time was had by all who attended.  Arrived and helped setup on Friday morning and worked in TS through Sunday.  Some 105 competitors mostly from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and as far away as eastern, southern and western states were on hand to drive BIR's new 2.5 mile competition road course.  It was topped off by a nice dinner party for volunteers, competitors, family and friends.

2010 June Sprints SCCA Races - Road America, WI

Another picture perfect day for the SCCA national race at Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI.  First time I volunteered and worked inside the hallowed walls of R/A's race control building for Timing and Scoring  (TS) on Friday.  There were over 440 entries in 10 race groups.  Augie Pabst was event Grand Marshal for the 55th annual Chicago Region SCCA June Sprints.  TS is a fun group of people to work with in race control.  There was a dinner party for workers that evening with good food and company.  The rolling hills of Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine area is the place to be if you like road racing.  This four mile long road racing circuit with 14 turns is guaranteed to grab you!  Race Results

Car Craft Summer Nationals Autocross

Car Craft Summer Nationals, QA1 Autocross was staffed by Land O' Lakes SCCA volunteers.  It took place at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul on July 17-19, 2009.  I'm wearing the blue shirt and was one of three cone marshals from first run to last on Friday.  This autocross event at the CC Summer Nationals is quickly growing in popularity.

Who's the dude in the blue shirt acting as if he's a course marshal?
