2014 Sunbelt Tour

For Xmas, make sure you ask for permission to enter the 2014 Sunbelt Natl Tour in College Station. We need 200 entries so bring a friend, buy a codrive or sell your soul! I have already handled the "lunch on site" issue by contracting Chef Cao's Lunch Truck for BOTH days. Paddock and course location will be similar to 2011 and the course will be designed by Vivek Goel(potential 2014 natl course designer). Tour tshirts will be available this year on a preorder basis. Watch for it around February!

We want you here in 2014! What will it take?

Leilane and I plan to be there.

March 29th-30th

I plan on being there.

Planning on it!

Yep!

Only 25 days until this event!

In 22 days online registration closes. After March 24 , 2014, 12pm CDT all entries must be faxed or emailed to the National office. At that point, the registration fee zips to $138.00!

This might seem like a long time but the SCCA National Office wants to see entries up far before these dates. If you want these National Solo events to keep returning to the Texas area they MUST be attended well in 2014! PLEASE, don't wait until the last minute to register!!

In other words get yourself registered! Great event, great site and if we don't make the numbers we might not get another one.... rant mode off.

Looking for passage to the site and back from Dallas. Anyone have room for a stow away?

Considering this is 20min from me, I think I'll be there :burnrubr:

Heads Up, Autocrossers! The following is a note from our SCCA SOWDIV Solo Development Coordinator, Todd Farris:

I'm going to have an open seat for this event. PM me if interested!

I was thinking about taking the 2011 M3 but I could not get the right size wheels in time for the event. I looked at BSP but there are no entries.

You could try SM or SSM possibly?

Anyone on the East-side of the Metromess going to be trailering down to the Tour and have some extra room to transport some tires on the return trip? I'm buying some tires from another attendee who can deliver them, but I won't be able to fit them in the mini to bring them home. I'm willing to kick-in some gas money if you can bring them back to Dallas and let me come grab them with my truck once we are back. TIA

Check with neff

Thx, will do.

I can probably transport them, or at least a couple. We are winding down on the thrash to get ready, the car should get back on the ground tonight, so it's looking pretty good.

OK, thx. Might only be two, but I'll let you know.

For those who didn't attend, YOU MISSED OUT!!! With the combination of huge courses and awesome surfaces, I think this was the most fun I've had at a non-Lincoln event. Speeds were very high and the course had fantastic flow, yet had parts that were visually challenging.

Courses looked fun. Nice driving and congrats on the win.

You and the VW had a nice battle. Now bring it and all your other friends to the MW Pro.

I saw Eric Hyman with his camera a lot...anyone else taking photos at the event?
