    Ozark Mountain Region Father's day event videos

    I took my dad to their event on Sunday.  He's watched 1 event in STL but this is the first one he's actually driven.  He had a good time, went off course a couple times but ended up with 34th of 50 on pax.  I think I ended up 7th.  Anyway, here's some videos of our runs in case anyone was thinking about going to one of their events and wanted to see what the lot/courses were like.  The lot is pretty chewed up in places and lots of uneven seams in the pavement. I caught one in just the right way and it spun me during one run.  The guy who designed this course will be the one designing the MiDiv at Neosho.

    Looks like two drag strips with a loop at the end!  Wish I could've been there.

    Ducks Stadium in Ozark is fortunately not where the divisional will be held, so no worries there. The Crowder Neosho site was designed for 18-wheelers to begin with, and is level and in great shape.

    The Ducks lot had damage repaired over the Winter, so the site was in pretty decent condition for our May event. Here's a video of my May course with MAXQ telemetry from a STU M3:

    Over the course of a month, the trucking school at Ducks added a lot of new ruts. The asphalt was never intended to support repeated trailer parking exercises, which is why the course had to single-track in the back section last weekend. The bad spots tend to stay consistent, so I don't expect problems putting an okay course there in August or October.

    After the July divisional, we'll be back in Neosho for a regional event on September 27th. Unless the turnout is huge, we try to aim for six runs per entrant at our regional events. Good seat time if anyone is in the area.
