Race With Us

Below are the main talking points of the May event Committee meeting. This weeks meeting was fairly short due to our cancelled event so it should be a pretty quick read. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Juan Johnson at his contact info listed on the Contact Us Page.

Date: 4/28/18 @ 4:00pm

• Course Setup
  • Discussed setting up the course the morning of the event Saturday from 8am-12:30am. We plan to utilize area near the radio tower.
  • Need to pick up cones from the storage locker at Gateway Motorsports Park.
  • We still do not have access to new trailer or the bus.
• Discuss classing with a few competitors.
  • Trophy Truck needs to be switched to Open from Modified Rear wheel drive due to rules explicitly stating that the door much actually function as per Section 3.2-E-#-D-page17 of the RallyX Official Rulebook
    • “Doors, hoods, trunk lids, sunroofs, hatchbacks, etc., need not function as
      originally designed; however, the driver door and passenger doors (if a
      passenger seat is present) must maintain sufficient functionality to allow
      safe ingress/egress” 
  • Discussed possibility of “rock crawler truck” entering. The truck does not fit any current classes due to it’d V8 motor and as a result, does not qualify for any of our current classes which makes it a safety concern.
  • Dan Kuhn has been notified that his car has been changed from stock to modified front wheel drive due to the cowl on his hood as per Sec. 3.2-C-4-a-page 11 of the RallyX Official Rulebook
    • “Examples of non-allowed modifications that
      provide a performance advantage include larger radiators to
      reduce engine temperatures, oil catch cans to reduce oil in the
      intake system, vents/scoops to improve cooling or intake airflow,
      additional ducting to improve engine or brake cooling.”
• For night event we need:
  • Reflective vests and Glow sticks- Need to ask Steve if we have these already
  • Lighting for paddock and registration areas
• Need to announce Committee meetings for the remainder of the season and add them to our website
  • These meetings will be added to Facebook and as soon as the Web committee comes to a decision about a universal calendar, we will put the calendar on all SCCA sites.
• Moving meetings to a new location
  • We will need to discuss at a later date where more members are present.
• Scheduling Work Day
  • May 6th at 7:30am at the same location as our events. See http://rallyx.stlscca.org/schedule/ for exact location.
• During night portion will not have course workers on course. Will need to discuss this in drivers meeting.
• Helmet tracking sheet has been made for events to track borrowing helmets.
• Discussed the fact that Decisions about club equipment outside of SCCA events need to be approved by the board.
  • If equipment is loaned out the SCCA’s name must not be used by that event.
