    It's time again for the Car Craft Summer Nationals held at the Minnesota State Fair grounds. The LOL region SCCA will be running the auto-x and launch box events. The auto-x gets bigger and bigger each year and we expect to see even more participants this year. Volunteers are needed for both the auto-x and launch box. Many of you have helped in the past. If you want to see cool cars in action, rather than sitting by the curb, this is a great way. Below is a schedule and positions for volunteers:

    Friday July 22nd
    9:00am - 11:00am course design and set up
    11:00am - 5:00pm auto-x and launch box (30 minute break for lunch)

    Saturday July 23rd
    11:00am - 4:00pm auto-x and launch box (30 minute break for lunch)

    Sunday July 24th
    9:30am - 12:30pm auto-x and launch box
    12:30pm - 1:30pm clean up

    Positions:
    Tech Inspection - inspect cars for safety (there are no performance rules!)
    Cone Marshal - run for hit cones and place them back
    Starter - waves cars to the start line
    Timing and Scoring - run the timing system for the auto-x
    Launch Box - run the radar gun system for the launch box

    When we are done each day, you're able to stay on grounds to see the show.


    Please send all questions to [email protected] or call me at 612-741-3668.


    Volunteers are encouraged to bring out a car and make use of the auto-x course!

    Hope you have a good turn-out. It's too bad this is on the same weekend they tried rescheduling the now cancelled rally-x. :(

    SCCA-LOL is now offering $10 gift certificates usable for any SCCA-LOL event, good for a calendar year, for those that volunteer.
    FYI, the club actually makes a tiny bit of $ on this event, which is how the club was able to pay for the timing system used at our rally-x events.
