Here is what I learned at the Divisional meetings at Jekyll Island over the weekend.
The SCCA has put into place a program to give greater emphasis on the Divisional Series. For 2009 they are recognizing a Triple Crown Champion who wins their class in their Division, in the East or West Championship and at Nationals. The stars will have to be aligned for 6 days in your favor. There are perks beyond being the first to ever score it but that will be announced at the SCCA Convention at the end of the month.
Robert Lewis is our Southeast Division Solo Steward for 2009. He has put on great events as the Dixie Solo Chair and is getting plans together for this season. Robert is placing an emphasis on concrete sites. He has a tentative plan for 3 events. The first two are an either or and the last is the championship for double points.
April 24/25 in Norfolk, VA at the LCAC Facility on Little Creek Naval Base. Josh and I ran a Divisional there in 2005 and it's cool. Huge Landing Craft Air Cushioned (LCAC) vehicles normally park on the concrete and it has to be smooth and clean. A magnificent view of Chesapeake Bay is to the North. We should hear soon if the Navy approves the request.
May 16/17 will be somewhere in central Florida. Again, Robert is attempting to get a concrete site.
The Championship event will be either in Marianna, FL, Dothan, AL or Cecil, GA at the end of July or August. The site negotiation is underway. We will be notified as the plans are completed. Stay tuned.
