I got the following email yesterday:

Reno Region SCCA members and friends,

This is just a reminder that our Solo season will be back in action this coming weekend, Sept. 22-23, out at Derby Airfield near Lovelock. It'll be Rounds 14 and 15 of our Championship Series, and after this only two more Solo Championship events will remain this year (Rounds 16 and 17, Oct. 6-7 at Stead).

It's easy to get to Derby Field; simply head east on I-80, take Exit 93 and follow the signs to the airport. It's just 80 miles from Reno/Sparks, within commuting distance (by Los Angeles standards, anyway!), or you can make a weekend of it. Camping is permitted at the airfield (there's a restroom available), or you can stay in Lovelock, about 15 minutes from the event site. Many of us stay at Sturgeon's Hotel & Casino (775-273-2971) , and they have rooms available at a special SCCA rate. Our event chairmen, Randy Jones and Jim Uchytil, are also putting together a Saturday night spaghetti dinner at the airport. If you're thinking of joining us for dinner, please give Randy an e-mail at randy.jones@ firstiertpa. com, if you haven't already done so.

One more reminder: our published run groups will not apply to the Lovelock events. We're asking all entrants to plan on being at the site all day both days. That's because we expect a smaller turnout than for our Stead events, which means we need flexibility in setting up our run groups and work assignments. We appreciate everyone's understanding.

Watch for an e-mail coming soon containing more information about the Sept. 29th Fall Tour!

See you at the Lovelock events.

Jim Gandy
Regional Executive

Should I try to be there at 8:30 for Tech and to walk the course?
