Who all from the Mississippi Region is planning on running some national tour events in 2008? I am planning to run at least 3 national tour events plus nationals in Topeka and I hope to see a few familiar MS Region faces at events (other than Drew and Brian...They are kinda ugly anyway)...First one on the list is just around the corner in Georgia...Feb. 23, 2008 is the Dixie National Tour event at South Georgia Motorsports Park...

just think we could room together. that way my pretty face will be the first thing you see when you wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Oh, and as long as circumstances don't dictate otherwise I'll go to both GA tours and the one in TX. Also, the double cross challenge is supposed to be in May in Atlanta. I highly recommend that people attend this event as it is a blast and the Atlanta region puts on a great event.

Delta guy, but I live in MS.  I havn't seen the scheduel yet, but I think I am going to go to the GA event.

OK,  I'm slow.  Where did you find the 2008 schedule, as I could not find it on the SCCA website anywhere under SOLO.

By the way did I tell anyone about my new LOTUS?

I haven't followed the thread much, but I assume (hope) the national office will post something official soon.

Wish I could drive as fast as my car really is.

Lotus???

I didn't say I had a Lotus! I just asked if I TOLD anyone I had a Lotus!  So I guess I didn't.

BTW, I do have a 2005 Land Rover LR3, a 2002 BMW 525, a 2001 BMW 325cic (Black/Black 5 speed), a 2003 BMW X5, and a 2000 Range Rover all for sale. 

And yes I did officially get my dealer's license going.  So I just bought some inventory to sell!! 

Spread the word, and I pay nice referral fees.

yeah, mississippi really is pretty good for getting to most nat tours and pro solos save teh ones in new england and the west coast.

Drew, I can't believe that she doesn't understand. my condolences.

What are the requirements/procedures for obtaining a ProSolo license? Does anyone know? I couldn't find it on the main scca website unless I am just missing it...

I did a quick search in the ProSolo section of sccaforums.com, and from the results, I think you just pay money to get one.  It didn't sound like it involves any sort of skills test.  Also, if you just go to one event each year, you don't even have to get a license.

Contact Nancy Downing at SCCA. ndowning@scca.com Manager - Solo Events. If she can't answer your question, no one can.

Good luck to Brian, Drew, Chris, Matthew, and anyone else headed for the Dixie Tour this weekend.  Stay safe and represent our region well!

I'll try but I can guarantee nothing from the other three bums ;)

My goal is to not stall embarrassingly in front of the trailer... Other than that, just going to have fun and try something new.

NT was a whole nuther level of serious when I went to Houston last year.
