2019's Season Has Begun

by Melissa Mauro
 

With losing our two main venues, this season is anything by typical.  And, with that, we’ve had our first 2 points events, held by the NEPA Region at Pocono Raceway this past weekend.  We had a little over 30 Susquehanna members come and represent the Region and enjoy the competition. Pocono’s track allows us much higher speeds with much longer run times.  The runs were an average of 75 seconds - which made for a lot of fun practice for all of us in attendance. Keep an eye out for the results to be posted online, as soon as they are available. 

I’d like to personally thank Chris Haydu, Dave Walter, Adam Koback, and the rest of the NEPA Region for letting us share in the fun.  They have a great region and put on some amazingly fun events.  Without their generosity, our season would be cut in half - so I am extremely grateful for them allowing us to join in their fun!

Since these points events count in both of the Regions - make sure to check out their events as well.  We will be running again with them in September, so I hope we have a good turnout of members in a few months.

We’ll be finalizing some items with the upcoming events at Spooky Nook soon, so look out for the registrations to be open soon.

Dirt Bowl 2019

by Nick Landis
 

Now that rallycross #3 is done, wrapped up and put in the books I think we can all agree that we don’t like that DRY of an event.  We had a total of 43 competitors including our friends to the south from the DC Region. We had 5 runs in the morning session and 4 more in the afternoon session.  Everyone seemed to be enjoying the bigger course this time and it held up well considering. We did have a few problem areas that we will properly deal with before the next event in September.  Sadly, we had a few vehicles that didn’t hold up nearly as well, but that is racing.

We have a 2 month break before the next event at the Farm Show venue on August 10th, so we can all clean the dust out of our vehicles, and air filters, and enjoy the downtime before jumping back at it.  Registration is currently open for the next event and be sure to look for the event on Facebook so that you can share it with all your friends and family.  I look forward to seeing all of you out in the dirt.

Street Survival Needs Coaches!

by Melissa Mauro
 

Susquehanna's second Tire Rack Street Survival is less than a month away, happening on Saturday, July 20.  I'm putting a call out for help.

If you’re interested and able to coach this year’s event, please use the sign up form below so I have your information.  If you weren’t a coach at the last event, and you’re interested to coach this year, please click the link below to become a coach!  It only takes about 45 minutes to get certified. Please make sure you email me a copy of your certificate when you send it to Tim Beechuk at Street Survival.

The “survival” of this event relies on all of the volunteers and coaches, so I NEED YOUR HELP!  Feel free to contact me on Facebook or by email at streetsurvival@scca-susq.com
