Event #9, Charity Event

November 11, 2018

This year our charity event will be the VETMotorsports. There are 2.8 million post-9/11 combat veterans in the U.S. Today, 22 of them will take their own lives every day. The mission of VETMotorsports is to stem this plague by involving at-risk veterans to experience the same rush of adrenaline, teamwork and close friendships that we enjoy. With your help we can show veterans another path and direction to enjoy time with others.

The SCCA Foundation and regional SCCA clubs have partnered with VETMotorsports to get these veterans to our Solo events. 100% of our donations will go to lodging, rental cars, food and other expenses to bring veteran men and women to our events.

Funds raised will go to support our veterans who wish to join us. If you’d like to make a further donation, we’ll also collect money at the drivers’ meeting and encourage you to visit VETMotorsports.org to learn more. Thank you in advance for your support!

This will also be the weigh in for the Ditch the Spare Tire weight loss competition during the off season. Yes, that means over the holidays!!! Make sure you weigh in if you want to participate. You could win a year of entries for next year.

Texas Region SCCA Solo

1 week ago

Continuing the year-end analysis from yesterday, let’s take a look at the rest of the classes:

Street Touring S – Brandon Dan is in a good spot with a 3 point lead over Jerrett Jan. Jan can steal the season victory with a win at the last event, and Dan finishing 4th or worse. That combination hasn’t happened yet this year, but Dan did finish 4th at event #2, behind Jan and a couple of ringers who only showed once. 3rd place will go to James Schwan, and Michael Holzmann and Leilane Jan will round out the trophy spots.

Street Touring X – Brandon ‘Slater Tots’ Slater will be your 2018 STX Champ – no one can catch him. 2nd through 5th are a little more volatile, though. Currently Sam Graff has the best shot at 2nd, with Miles Furlong 4 points behind Graff. Miles could steal 2nd by winning the event and Graff finishing 5th or worse. It’s a long shot, but anything goes in this class. David Powers will likely finish 4th, but he could snag 3rd from Furlong by finishing 3 positions ahead of him. Let’s not forget Geran Rose, who can secure the final trophy spot with a solid finish of 5th or better, depending on who wins.

Street Touring R – David Smart has this one locked, with wins in every event he attended. Skip Abadie will take 2nd, and Nicholas Engels will round out the trophies in 3rd. Mathematically this one can’t change.

Street Touring U – Galen Smith will definitely be the champ, having won 6 out of the 8 events this year. Stuart and Doug Maxcy will finish 2nd and 3rd respectively if they make it to the last event. They both have only 4 events so far this year.

Street Touring H – Brian Henderson in his Focus ST is the only STH competitor with enough events to qualify for the year-end championship. He will definitely bet he winner.

Street Modified – The AWD rally cars are taking home all the trophies in SM. Brent Billue won three events in his STI Scooby Doo, and he’ll also take home the 2018 championship. Kevin Abbott (Evo VIII) has a 3 point lead over Drew Waller for 2nd and 3rd. Waller will need to finish 4 spots ahead of Abbott to steal 2nd. We haven’t seen Chris Ledbetter or Henry Lin drive in the last 3 events, but if they show they will both be eligible for 4th and 5th place trophies. Who takes which one will depend on their positions in the last event.

Super Street Modified – Paul Carmichael takes this one pulling away from the rest of the field. Randy Freeman can claim second place, but he needs to be at the last event to meet the minimum event requirement.

B Street Prepared and BSP Ladies – The husband and wife team of Norm and Janet Glowicz will win both of these classes. We love seeing couples competing, and that’s no exception with these two. A special shout out to Norm for sponsoring the year end tire giveaway – without him it wouldn’t be possible!

C Street Prepared – Here’s another husband and wife team that we love! Steve and Sharon Eberlein both compete in the open CSP class, and they will finish in 1st and 2nd.

Super Street R – Scott Lason and his Viper take this one. We remember when this was one of the larger classes locally and nationally… those were the days. Vipers, Corvettes and Porsches, oh my.

CAM-C – Camaros and Mustangs galore in CAM-C, with James Hill’s 1LE Camaro likely to finish at the top this year. He’s got an 8 point lead over Alex Tambert and his Mustang. It’s a long shot, but Tambert can take the victory with a win and a no-show by Hill. Hill has made every event this year, so depending on your gambling bent he will definitely be there, or he’s due to miss one. Paul Forwerck (Mustang) is in good shape for the 3rd spot, then Tim Boesche (Mustang) and his son-in-law Ryan Ayuso (Camaro) will be fighting it out for 4th and 5th.

X Prepared – Andy Franco has won every event in his big black Corvette but one, and he will be your XP champ.

D Prepared – Our TX Region Regional Executive wins this one, driving the Eberlein CSP Miata.

E Prepared – Brian Freeman hasn’t been to an event in a little while, but he’s already got enough points to be your 2018 EP Champ.

F Prepared – Jack and Georgia Brown have been to nearly every event together in their aero intensive E36 coupe. They will take 1st and 2nd respectively.

D Modified – Mark Gillett has the hang of autocrossing from the right seat in his Birkin/Lotus 7 replica. We’ll make him enter the stage from the opposite side of everyone else to collect his first place trophy.

F Modified – Phil Penner and Gary Kramar share the Zink F500, but Phil runs in FM and Gary in X. That opens up the opportunity for both to trophy. Phil will be the FM champ this year. Keep reading to see how Gary did.

Novice – Newcomers Ethan Wiseley and Carey Ritchey will be duking it out at the last event for Novice class bragging rights. Wiseley has the lead in total points, but when you look at the drops Ritchey is only one point back. They each have 2 wins this year, so anything goes on Nov 11th. Jason Altman will finish in 3rd, and Anthony Carinci Jr will be 4th. This one will be fun to watch!

X Pro – Cameron Goode finished 2nd at Nationals in H Street, and for 2018 he will win TX Region X Class. Paul Kurtz and Brad McCann are separated by 1 point for 2nd. McCann had car trouble at a recent event, and if he gets it fixed in time the battle for 2nd will be epic. Your B Street National Champion Jeremy Foley can claim 4th place overall with a 4th place or higher finish, but he needs to be there to make the 5 event minimum.

W (Women’s PAX) – Your novice coordinator Ann Bergin has a 6 point lead over Bonnie Belknap. Bonnie can steal it from Ann with a win and Ann finishing 7th or worse. While possible, it’s an unlikely scenario because the largest number of competitors in this class has been 5 so far this year, but you never know. Elizabeth Flowers has 3rd locked up. … See MoreSee Less

I should codrive with Brandon Dan for the final event.

I should have entered in STR at my event. Didn’t realize he was undefeated 😁. (What were doing in that silver car of yours all year, Armstrong? )

If you guys didn’t run at the Bus Lot so much I’d have more than 4 events so far 😛

The last event of the season is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to assess the 2018 Championship Points standings. Grab a cup of coffee or an adult beverage and settle down for a brief read of how the season is shaping up. Here is a quick reminder of how the points work:

– The best 7 of 9 events count, must have minimum 5 events
– To be eligible for a trophy, you must have 50% of the points of 1st place
– 9 points for 1st place, 7 for second, then they decline by one point per position. Minimum is 1 point
– Tiebreakers are decided by bribes to Gary Kramar. OK, that last part isn’t true… or is it?

Street Classes

Super Street – there have only been 4 competitors all year, and only one has enough events to qualify for a trophy. Your 2018 SS winner will definitely be Chris Craig in his gorgeous VooDoo Blue Cayman S. Chris won every single event and frequently finishes in the top 25 PAX, so don’t harass him about not having a lot of competition.

A Street – the battle of the Corvettes has 4 competitors eligible for trophies, with Tom Bergeron (C6 Z06) out front. Robert Jones (C5 Z06) can claim the title if he wins the last event and Bergeron doesn’t show, but that’s the only scenario that shakes this one up at the top. Charles Cram (C5 Z06) can steal second place from Jones with a win and Jones finishing in 4th or worse. Brad Flack (C6 Z06) will do no worse than 4th. Keep an eye on Rob Stewart (C6) for next year – he started in AS late this year, but has been improving his finishing positions and is consistently at the events.

B Street – Track junkie Chris Wheelock is the only BS competitor that has a chance at a trophy, and he has to make it to the last event to meet the 5 event requirement. He’s won every event he’s entered, so if he shows on Nov 11th he will be your 2018 BS champ.

C Street – there are a couple of interesting scenarios for the Miatae of CS. Sam Mauro is in 1st with a 3 point cushion, just ahead of Lorin Stolz. Mauro has won 3 events and Stolz 2, but there are some wild cards that could really mix this one up. To snatch first place, Stolz needs a win and for Mauro to finish in 3rd or worse. Arturo Alarcon won one event, but hasn’t been back to compete since event #4. Alarcon will take the 3rd place trophy if he makes it to the last event. Kenny Baker has a CS Miata as well… so if Baker and Alarcon show up and place ahead of Stolz and Mauro the standings will stay as they are.

D Street – the 2 event drops play a big role in D Street. At first glance, it looks like Kevin Garpne is out front by 3 points, but when you factor in the drops Jeffrey Walker-Medina is ahead of Garpne by 2. To lock up first, Garpne needs to win event #9 (he won event #4 on the bus lot) with Walker-Medina in 3rd or lower. Walker-Medina didn’t make the last 2 events, so we’ll see if his schedule is more open in November. 3rd through 5th places are a complete toss-up and will be decided at the last event. Eric Key, Sam Daniels and Brian Brooks are all within a point of each other, with Daniels having a one point advantage over the other two. Brooks needs to show to make the 5 event minimum, and has a win and 2 second places finishes among the 4 events he’s made this year. If he shows he has a great shot at taking over 3rd. Key has been to every event this year so he will most likely be there, trying to get his first finish in the top 3.

E Street – 7 (!) trophies are on the line in ES. With 8 events completed, ES has had 5 different first place winners. Grant Watkins (3), Matt Lucas (2), along with Mick Harrison, David Anderson and Greg Olsen (1 each) have all seen the P1 spot this year. Grant Watkins will likely be your 2018 ES champion, but if he doesn’t make it to the last event Mick Harrison can win the season with a finishing position of 3rd place or higher. In the unlikely event that both Harrison and Watkins don’t make it, Matt Lucas can steal 2nd place by finishing 3rd or higher, and that would then open the door for Mark Wortham to become the 6th different first place finisher. Harrison hasn’t missed an event all year, so our money is on him locking up the 2nd place spot, but 3rd through 6th are up for grabs and will be decided at the last event. Buck Entriken can claim the 7th place annual trophy by finishing in 2nd at event #9, no matter what the other guys do. He’ll need some help to make the points minimum if both Watkins and Harrison show.

F Street – The class known for years as the Pony car class is being dominated in TX Region by German iron. Roger Waggoner (E9x M3) has an 8 point lead heading into the last event, with Larry Waterman (E46 M3) in second. Waterman can win the season with a victory in the final event and Waggoner not able to attend, but that’s the only way for that to work mathematically. Colin Clarke can make 3rd place eligible for an annual trophy with a 4th place or better finish, but he needs to make it to the last event to meet the 5 event minimum.

F Street Ladies – Alicia Waterman will be your 2018 FSL champion, with victories in every event she attended.

G Street – Focus (Foci?) STs are the car of choice here, with all trophy positions being filled by Ford’s hot hatch. Tim Bergin can’t be beat and will be your 2018 GS champ. Phil Osborne could mathematically beat Walter Del Rio for second place, but it would require Walter to miss the last event, and Phil to win that same event. It’s all possible, so keep an eye on GS in November.

H Street – Charles Fleming has a 5 point lead over Xavier Wagenknecht – both in Fiesta STs. Ray Cheslock has enough points to make a 3rd place trophy possible if he makes it to the last event, but we haven’t seen Cheslock since event #6. Fleming has a 1st gen RX-7 that he’s just dying to autocross. If he brings that out for the last event and Wagenknecht stays in HS this one could shake up. Of note from event #8 – top PAX of the day came from H street. Congrats to Laura Harbour in her ’06 Civic.

Solo Spec Coupe – The inaugural year of SSC will be go down in the records books as being won by Taylor Burnidge. Locally this class hasn’t seen too much action, but nationally it is a huge success. Watch for it to grow in the coming years.

That’s all for today. Check back tomorrow for coverage of the Street Touring and Street Modified classes. … See MoreSee Less

Good summation! Yes, I want to bring the RX-7 to the last event, but not at the expense of losing the H Street championship! Check my math, but I think I have enough points to win: At present, I have 64 points; with one drop of 7 points, I have 57. If I do bring the RX-7, I’ll score "0" points in HS for the event, so my total with the second drop (0) remains at 57.

Xavier has 51 points and with one "0" to drop, his current total remains at 51. If he wins in November, add 9 points, for a total of 60; he still has to drop another low score, so he can drop a "6", which brings his final total to 54. So, my 57 wins, if my math is correct; I hope that’s right ’cause I really want to see if the RX-7 will be competitive!

You are correct… somehow we screwed that one up. Charles Fleming is the H Street champ for 2018!

Arturo Alarcon

Oh snap! Looks like I’ll have to make a comeback to get a sweet trophy.
