The Land O’ Lakes Region of the Sports Car Club of America regrets to announce that the Jack Pine Sprints Double Regional Race scheduled for August 8th and 9th at Brainerd International Raceway is cancelled for this year. The efforts of the region, SCCA and BIR track management have been great but we have not yet made enough progress to hold an SCCA Club Racing event in 2009. We look forward to having SCCA Club Racing return to BIR in 2010 and are working towards making that a reality. The cancellation was a difficult decision to make but everyone involved realized it was necessary. I am confident that LoL will make it back to BIR and when we do, it will be the best possible experience for everyone. I have confirmed with Brainerd that we will be having a Track Work weekend on Aug 8-9 instead. There will be rustic camping (e.g. no hookups) for those that want to come up Friday to get an early start on Saturday. We'll work all day Saturday and then relax on Saturday night. We'll do some more work on Sunday morning but will look to clear out before the mass influx of the drag contingent. The work will be bolting tires for tire barriers, building corner platforms etc. There are lots of things that need to be done, some large but many smaller items as well. We will also need to start working on the race date for 2010. We will need to have a race chair and committee in place by September this year. The calendaring process will take place in early August so the date could potentially be set before the end of summer. We have some other positions filled but we need many more volunteers for essential committee positions. Please contact me if you are willing to help. Please also RSVP to me if you can attend the cleanup day. Mary Mary Utecht Regional Executive Land O’ Lakes Region SCCA Email: [email protected] Web: www.scca-lol.org
