Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras - View Single Post - Wendover ProSolo, August 19-20

Bump:

Last weekend at Denver, SCCA Solo GM Cindy Jansen asked us what we could do to get Reno competitors to come out for remaining National events on the west coast, which include:

Packwood ProSolo August 5/6, Packwood Washington
Packwood National Tour August 12/13, Packwood Washington
Wendover ProSolo August 19/20, Wendover UT

I told her Reno in general wasn't a traveling bunch, and higher gas prices this year was another factor that keeps people away - but that I'd ask around. With that in mind, I wanted to check again & see if there's any interest from this group on any of these events. Mark and I will be taking my car up to the Packwood ProSolo, and his car to Wendover ProSolo. We're skipping the Tour, although those events are an excellent competitive opportunity as well.

For drivers new to ProSolo, SCCA sponsors a 'Quick Start' program, led by Ann and Andy Hollis, and Bob Tunnell. Ann and Andy are Evolution Driving school instructors and all of them are SCCA national champions. You'd learn alot from any of them. These start on Friday before the Pros, so you would want to arrive by midafternoon Friday to take advantage of it.

Packwood is about 11 hours driving time with gas stops. It is a gorgeous location, near Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier, the most beautiful autox spot I have ever been to. It's remote as well, there are very few amenities in the town of Packwood so you can't plan to 'pick it up at Walmart' - you have to come prepared.

Wendover is a 5-6 hour drive from Reno, with 1-2 gas stops. 3 Peppermill properties and a few smaller casino/hotels are on the NV side of the state line, and a few motels on Utah side of the state line.

Who else is game?
