If we do this again next year I hope we can get more of the region members to come out and participate in one form or another as it is a great venue and close to home for most of us. Solo has had a great few weeks with event entries at an all-time high and nothing but good reviews from the people that were there. “We need to get more of our region members out to help with these events as they are a lot of fun and a great way to meet the other members” Rally Cross has an event coming up on July 18 and 19 th at the Grain Valley Sand Drags. Please come out and enter and / or help with this and all other events as they are a lot of fun! Bylaws, I want to thank the committee for all their hard work with the draft that was presented to the members at the July General Meeting! I also want to thank the members that came to the meeting and voiced their concerns and ideas that will be taken back to the board. As you may have heard the St. Louis and Southern Illinois regions are asking the National BOD to move from MIDIV to CINDIV. At this time, there is not much to report other than the REs in MIDIV are talking about the upcoming season and what we are going to do if St. Louis and S. Illinois leave or stay to make this a better division. There will be a lot more on this in the upcoming weeks. I would also like to pass on the Region ’s condolences to Jim Wheeler and his family on the passing of big brother Steve Wheeler. See you all at the races! Chris Kern A DAY AT THE TRACK WITH YOUR FRIENDS Article and photos by Doug Patterson Sometimes we go to a Formula 1 grand prix, a MotoGP race weekend, World Endurance Championship event, or a World Rally Championship rally to see the best drivers/riders and machines in the world com- pete at levels that appear to us mere mortals as superhuman. We witness remarkable feats of vehicle con- trol and intestinal fortitude that make us think that surely these are aliens piloting alien technology, and we’re supremely entertained and inspired by this. Sometimes, however, you just want to hang out with your friends at the track, and what you witness is that, on occasion, you see glimpses of that alien-level greatness in the guys and gals you share beers and burgers with at the monthly club meetings. This past weekend, the Kaw Valley Race Group and the Kansas City Region SCCA hosted the eighth round of the SCCA U.S. Ma- jors Tour at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, KS. Long-time readers of Formu- la1Blog.com will remember that the crew at- tended the ill-fated Indy Lights and IndyCar Series race at the Speedway back in 2009, but since then, the facility as expanded and now includes an infield road course. Yes, I know, rovals aren’t always ideal courses, especially from a photographer’s point of view, and this is no exception. This was the only Majors event to be held on a high-banked track. As The #30 Formula Mazda of James Wright and the #5 such, it is a good opportunity to prepare for Formula Continental of Brandon Dixon crossing the Start/Finish line at the Kansas Speedway. this year’s National Runoffs which will be held at the Daytona International Speedway on their roval. It was strange showing up to the Kansas Speed- way and not seeing crowds of fans milling around, looking for autographs, and a media center packed with reporters and photogs try- ing to get their work out to their editors. It was almost like the 2010 IndyCar race. (oh, too soon?) It was pleasant in a way, too. Stepping into the media center to register and seeing not only the Speedway staff, but many of my friends from the club organizing and coordi- nating all the logistics was pretty neat. Once I received my marching orders from our Region- al Executive, Chris Kern, off I went to do my photog thing. David Vincent preparing his #73 Formula 500 machine on Sunday morning. Working the paddock, there’s one thing that was immediately clear. There are a LOT more cars at hand than during a typical IndyCar or Rally America event! There were 104 competitors racing in 31 classes in seven separate race groups. Yes, 31 clas- ses seems a bit excessive to me as well. It could be worse. It could be Solo. It meant that my tagging work became a lot more complex and time con- suming. I’m still tagging photos! It also meant that there was a great diversity of cars on track from the small, non-aero open-wheel cars like the Formula Vee, Formula Ford, and Formula 500 (I want one of those cars!), winged open-wheel cars like For- mula Mazda and Formula Atlantic, prototype-style racers like the Spec Racer Ford (wouldn’t mind one of those either), to GT sports cars like the Cor- vettes and Vipers. Dane Smith in his #21 GT-1 Corvette trying his best to The Kansas Speedway crew were amazing. Nor- find traction with slicks on a very wet race track. mally during a race weekend, the security staff are so stressed out from dealing with the beered up masses that they are usually gruff at best and rude and force- ful at worst. Frankly, I don’t blame them for their attitude. They have to put up with a lot of crap. In the lower stress, more relaxed atmosphere of the Majors event, the security crew were extremely friendly and helpful. The Guest Services Coordinator, Cole Cochran, even help arrange things for me to allow me to drive my car onto the outer rim road so I could do work from the outside of the oval and flag stand. On a day where tem- peratures were in the triple digits, the ability to sit in my air conditioned car in between sessions, and to drive between the outside and infield made my work a LOT easier.

Dear SCCA Media Partners, Welcome to what is truly a new era of the Sports Car Club of America, as the SCCA National Champi- onship Runoffs heads west for the first time in 46 years to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This event, made possible with the help of our friends and partners at Mazda and the Sports Car Rac- ing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), was met with questions at its announcement that have been answered in a big way, with more than 530 drivers on the entry list and a rejunvenaton of the west coast program all season long. While we haven’t been west of the Rockies since River- side International Raceway in 1968, it’s hard to believe it will be that long before we return again. The question on everyone’s mind, even more than usual, is who is going to win? Are there hidden gems on the west coast who may be making their first Runoffs appearance that will make a name for themselves on the national stage, or will the traditional contenders learn a new track quickly enough to hold their titles? My guess is that we’ll see some of each.
