this event is sponsored by K+N filters and Mequiars car wax. If you wax your car before an event it will clean up easier and will look better if you get your picture in Sportscar magazine or Grassroots motorsports magazine, they both covered our last natinal event, and posted pictures of many cars. And some guys even made it onto the SCCA calender. [MAY was the month]
K+N obviously makes your car go faster and we all want that, and gives you a way to clean and re-clean your airfilter instead of buying new ones all the time.

our hotel and base is going to be
the Ramada Inn
2314 Hillsboro Blvd
US 41 & I-24
Manchester, TN 37355 US

Mention SCCA when you make your reservation to get the discount. Cost is $50 per room for 1 or 2 people if you have more than that in one room talk to 'NISH' or nancy and see what they will charge you.
This includes an executive continental breakfast each morning.

They have a beautiful breakfast buffet area that we are going to use saturday night for eating, drinking and socializing. there will be a large bucket with ice if you need a place to keep beer cold, food will be delivered from nearby 'Wingers' they deliver for free and we'll call in orders periodically through out the evening and have them delivered. Their web site is

oh and there is a pool just off of the breakfast area, no glass by the pool, but you are welcome to take a dip, as long as you are wearing a bathing suit. [i guess in the past they had trouble with beer drinking and skinny dipping]

There will not be online registration, but i will start another thread of "I'm coming and driving XXXX car in XXXX class" you don't have to post there to enter the event, but it will give everybody a better idea of how many are coming and in which specific class, so please post there.

I will need HELP, setting up this event.
I will be out at the site, friday august 28th at noon.
Anybody who can help friday that would be greatly appreciated.
I will Also need help putting on the event. please post if you can help fri, sat, sun or any combination of those days.

Of course I can help the entire weekend, including Friday.

ok the door prizes are starting to accumulate.
i have some stuff from Grassroots motorsports.
i have LOTS of stuff from meguiars.
enough for prizes AND every participant will get a gift bag with some stuff from meguiars...clean off road cars!!!! i like that concept!!!
a valuable prize from K+N [anybody need an intake???]
i am in the process of getting some stuff from Amsoil.

{yea there is a video in here somewhere that could be a hit on you tube....a bunch of guys, waxing their Dirty cars at a rallycross}

Hey, I'm new here and am interested in doing some rallycross' with you folks. Im thinking about driving out from Knoxville with a buddy on Friday night and staying Saturday and Sunday. I'd like to volunteer to help so I could see how the show is ran. Who do I need to talk to? -matt

This is great!

You can either PM Randy (jr4jc) or me.

At some point on Friday, we will be setting things up, so if you get there early enough to help us with that also, that'd be awesome. If not, thats cool.

The 'official' hotel is listed above, and that's where Randy and a few others will be Friday and Saturday night.

This blog has the location googlemapped:

My buddy and I both have worked a couple stage rallys so I imagine this shouldnt be too bad. I'll get rooms reserved tomm! COUNT US IN!

thanks for coming and helping, we should be to manchester by noon to 1pm friday august 28th, i have to pick up several things along the way that morning. find us either at the hotel- probably won't be there but 10 minutes to sign in and drop off a couple things.
or at JOHN ROBERTS TOYOTA the owner of our site--and where the bus is kept
or the field directly behind home depot, and adjacent to john roberts toyota
but we sure can use the help!!!

it looks like it ISN'T going to be blistering HOT like august usually is.

our last event which was in mid july was about 79 degrees overcast with a gentle breeze, could we have a repeat!!!!!

EVERYBODY sign up for "i am coming, driving XXXX in class XXX" forum, that gives me an idea how many trophy's to get.
if nobody signs up in a particular class then i won't have a trophy made up for that class.
WILL YOU STILL GET ONE????
yea but i'll have to go back and have it made, then ship it to you.
this means more expense to me and my club ;(
this means NO trophy to recieve and hold up at the event for pics.
this means a wait till you get your trophy and when you do you will be alone and your dog will look at you funny as you hold it up bragging to him of how you 'appreciate the admiration and respect of everybody present to day' as you shake is hand and smile
it won't be the same if you get my drift.
