Does anyone know the schedule and what it takes to run the divisionals. I am going to try to race some this year if I get back from Iraq.

what are the requirements to participate, and how do you sign up?

Mark McCrary · Post by **Mark McCrary** » Thu Jan 27, 2005 9:54 pm

Well first you must be a regional champ and trophy at a national event.

Just kidding.
Nothing is required just sign up. Pre-register when it is open. I am sure it will be up when it opens. They are a lot of fun. Great competition and it give you the basic of what a National event feels like. You should look at going to the National events in Atlanta too.

How many races do you have to attend to count in the year end points. Just trying to plan my year.

Karl Rickert has said that they hope to make it best 3 out of 5.

Oh yeah, WRT the requirements, you must be a member of SCCA, nothing else.

Glad to hear you are planning to do the series. I think this is a good way to step up to the next level of competition. I'm hoping to make the Atlanta, Nashville, and Va. Beach events. I would LOVE for the fifth event to be South Carolina.

Or LMU?

Yeh! Let's have a Divisional. That would be a great opportunity for our region.

I would like to see that but I do not think it would be able to have one there. Its still too small for that. We would have to use both upper and lower lot and I still don't think it would work.

I agree with Mark M, LMU could be our best site, but is not big enough for a divisional. BTW, the 'black lake' in SC is 980,000 sq. ft. vs. 238,262 sq. ft for LMU.

Yeah but I guarantee there isn't another site that will be hosting a divisional with that kind of pavement, either. Nashville is hosting one. Is Nashville bigger than LMU?

Years ago, Chattanooga hosted one at a High School.
