3 2011 Calendar of Events Please note that these dates are tentative and subject to change. Not all sites have been confirmed yet. Date Type Location Points Activities Description 11/20/11 Rallycross Jim Wood Field Y Y Rallycross 12/01/11 BoG 344 N. 115th St. N/A N/A Bog Meeting 01/21/12 End of Year Awards Karen s Fireside N/A N/A End of Year Awards Banquet As always, check before you travel. All the latest information is available at NRSCCA.COM ReMarks We ve got a couple of year end awards that the Board votes on based on nominations from the membership. It s time to get those nominations in. Here is what we re considering: The first award we need nominations for is the Woody Dunn Outstanding Contribution to the Region. This is presented to a member of the Nebraska Region who has, quite literally, has done something outstanding for the region. This isn t normally presented to an officer of the club, or Board member for doing their job, unless extenuating circumstances warrant it. This has been awarded in the past for accomplishments such as securing a new site or rebuilding equipment for example. This is the Region s highest award. It is not always awarded, even if nominations are presented. The other award that needs nominations is the Outstanding Regional Worker Cup. This is awarded to a member who has exhibited an excellent work ethic for the region. This award usually goes to a person who is always going the extra mile for the region at events. There have been a number of times that it has been awarded to a person who shows up to help at events, but doesn t compete in the events. Nominations for both of these awards need to be received by the Board either by snail mail to the club office (address on the inside cover of this newsletter) or by to info@nrscca.com. Nominations must be received by the November Board meeting, which has been postponed until December 1 st this year due to the holidays. Make sure you check the points in this issue and online. Our season wraps up with the last rallycross this coming weekend and we will be starting the process or ordering year end awards based on these points. The intent is to reduce the number of weekends that drivers and officials have to travel to a race while keeping the number of races. With this next schedule, everyone gets the same number of races in The other benefit to this is you won t have to travel outside of the division to run a double national or double regional weekend. This should also create bigger fields in each class, both regionally and nationally since there are fewer race weekends to attend. Hopefully, this will help both our entry and official counts in The 2012 schedule will be posted online in our forums, and on the web site as soon as it s approved. Also on the 2012 schedule is a divisional driver school weekend at Heartland Park Topeka on May 5/6. This will be a double driver school, double regional, PDX, and Vintage race. All the race groups in the division will be supporting this event both financially and with officials. I urge all drivers and officials to make the trip to this event and support this weekend as we re all in this together. Don t forget to put the banquet on your schedule. This year the plan is to offer online registration and payment as well as phone registration for the event. The cost looks like it will be $22.00 per person if you preregister and pay, or $25.00 per person at the door. We will still be sending out invitations for the event to the membership. Guests can attend as well so don t hesitate to bring someone that isn t a member. Enough rambling for now. We ll see you at the Banquet! For those of you who didn t make the club racing meeting on November 15 th, here are some of the things we re going to talk about. The 2012 club racing schedule is nearly approved by the MiDiv Exec Committee (the RE s of the MiDiv Regions). Most of the racing regions have opted for double rational, double national, IT Tour weekend for Notice I said weekend, as in singular. Each race group/track is hosting a single weekend this year. The exception of St. Louis Region, who has decided to stay with the Regional/National/IT format, and have two weekends as they start back up again after losing Gateway in Yours, for the sport.
