STL Club Racing Program News - from the Committee
Program Manager, Bryon Prokopf
Club racing has begun working on the 2011 schedule with Gateway and MiDiv. We hope to have a schedule to release in the coming months. It requires a lot of volunteers to put on our races and we can not begin to list all of those people here, but a giant thank you to everybody who makes our events happen. We are looking for a couple of volunteers to help us fill a couple of vital roles. We are in need of a chief of tech and a food coordinator for the future. If you are interested, please contact Bryon Prokopf at br_prok81@hotmail.com or 618-660-6174 |

STL PDX News - from the committee
Program Manager, Jose Hernandez
All of us have done the burn-out at a red light, or taken that curve at more than the "suggested speed," imagining ourselves as racers while never leaving our street cars. With these events, you don't have to dream anymore! PDX's are about you, the driver. Plenty of seat time, plenty of individual instruction and a ton of driving exercises make up these events held at Gateway Raceway on the 1.6 mile Road Course; both of which is designed to educate you and make you more confident behind the wheel, both on the track and on the street. A Precision Driving Experience (PDX) is an opportunity to work with an instructor and get practice.
A Precision Driving Experience (PDX) is an opportunity to work with an instructor and get practice in car handling and precision driving in your own car on the 1.6-mile road course at Gateway International Raceway. This is a non-competitive, un-timed event. Drivers are grouped by prior experience. For safety, drivers are required to wear a helmet, long sleeve shirt and long pants.

Program Manager, April Schnardthorst.
Event 10 was August 15th and we had 106 drivers including many new people (still!). Our 2nd Test N Tune was August 22nd and we had 40 drivers including some newbies.
We signed up at least two more SCCA members at each event as well.
Our financials will were reviewed at our August SAC meeting which was rescheduled to the third Tuesday instead of the second due to multiple personnel conflicts. We are still on track since the last report to the board and both of our recent events were profitable.
No major deviations from our budget planning assumptions at this time.

2010 Runoffs to be Broadcast Live
|
TOPEKA, Kan. (Aug. 6, 2010) - Sports Car Club of America, Inc. announced today that the 2010 SCCA National Championship Runoffs Presented by Subway will again have all 24 races broadcast live world wide, on the Internet through SpeedcastTV.com.
For the second-straight year, anyone with an Internet connection will be able to catch the drama as the best amateur road racers in North America fight for the coveted National Championship in a one race, winner-take-all event that has often been referred to as the "Olympics" of motorsports. After four days of qualifying, some 650 drivers are expected to fight for Championships in 28 different classes at Road America, Sept. 24-26.
"The feedback from the 2009 event coverage was tremendous and we committed to continue the relationship with Speedcast before the year was out," SCCA VP of Marketing & Communications Eric Prill said. "As a collective group, we're taking our experience and putting it toward improving the overall product and its delivery."
The biggest change will be the expansion to two announce crews. Sports car racing fans will recognize the familiar voices of veteran Runoffs announcers Greg Creamer, Dorsey Schroeder, Jim Tretow and John Bisignano throughout the broadcast. Current Runoffs racer Bart Wolf joins as the fifth member of the broadcast team and will work the booth as an analyst alongside Creamer.
"We're thrilled to have such experienced, knowledgeable and entertaining personalities to call the Runoffs action," Prill said. "Last year, we put a lot of pressure on one announce team to do all 24 races. They rose to that challenge, but with two teams, and the experience these gentlemen bring to the program, we know the 2010 broadcast will be a memorable one."
From a technical standpoint, the broadcasts will move to the Adobe® Flash® format, making it easier than ever for fans to view the action, be it on a PC or Macintosh operating system.
"I'm thrilled to offer the SCCA Runoffs on SpeedcastTV for the second year in a row," Speedcast Productions President Clark Cambern said. "The Runoffs live webcast was our most popular show in 2009, and we've been working hard with our partners at the SCCA to ensure that this year's coverage is even better."
As was the case in 2009, all 24 races will be aired live through SpeedcastTV.com beginning Friday, Sept. 24 and concluding Sunday, Sept. 26. In the weeks following the live broadcasts, each race will be posted to the Speedcast site for free On Demand viewing. Finally, a full DVD set of the races will again be available later in the year.
The 2009 SCCA National Championship Runoffs races are still available at www.speedcasttv.com/scca. That same page will go live with the 2010 event Friday, Sept. 24 at 8:15 a.m. (Central).
