    Arkansas ProSolo Joins Tour Event Weekend, Texas ProSolo Cancelled

    TOPEKA, Kan. (April 20, 2007) -- Despite the strong interest and high entry levels at Tire Rack® SCCA National Solo events in virtually every part of the country, the central United States remains a challenge for schedule expansion. Low pre-event entries at the Arkansas and Texas ProSolos have prompted SCCA to reschedule one event and cancel the other altogether.

    The Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo scheduled for Walnut Ridge, Ark. on May 5-6, which was to be the inaugural event using the new single course format, is being merged with the April 29-30 Walnut Ridge National Tour. This Tour will have all the heats merged into one day, with drivers taking their traditional six runs over two courses on Saturday. Drivers then will have the opportunity on Sunday to try the new single course format ProSolo event. Although drivers will be able to enter both events for the cost of only the Tour, there will be two separate events with all the respective trophies and contingency awards.

    The May 26-27 Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo scheduled for Mineral Wells, Texas has been cancelled. Because of this, the Memorial Day weekend is being considered for a National Tour event in another part of the country. Those already entered in the Texas ProSolo may request a refund or have their entry transferred to another National Solo event.

    “The improved event efficiencies that our National Solo Field Staff have been able to implement allows us the ability to do this unique two-for-one weekend that will give exceptional value to the SCCA entrants,” SCCA VP of Rally and Solo Howard Duncan said. “The 2007 Tire Rack SCCA National Solo season, particularly the ProSolo program, was designed to be a year of testing new ideas and this is definitely a new concept in events that the entrants should find highly entertaining and rewarding.”

    The entrants of all three events (Walnut Ridge Tour, Walnut Ridge ProSolo, Mineral Wells ProSolo) will be sent an e-mail describing the administrative details of this schedule change.

    While this really sucks, I'm almost tempted to make the drive for what will be an action-packed 2 for 1 weekend of 6 runs on Saturday and a full Pro on Sunday.
