Howdy guys
The first divisional of 2008 is fast approaching!! Register at www.axwaresystems.com
As well, check out www.swsolo.com for all the latest info, talk a little smack and check out sponsor links!!
Tom Holt and crew have come up with a travelling trophy!
Announcing the Southwest Divisional Solo Series regional participation
trophy. Named the "Come and Take It!" trophy, it will be awarded to the
region that has the highest average points per entry after all four
divisional events. The winning region will get to keep the trophy for the
next year and gloat endlessly that their region is the best in the Southwest
Division.
Each competitor will be awarded points based on their finishing position
(9pts -1st, 6pts -2nd, 4pts - 3rd, 2, 1, 1, 1. The only exception being
uncontested class wins will receive 7 pts). The points for each region will
be averaged over all four events and after the final divisional in Fort
Worth, the winning region will claim the trophy. Each region must average 5
entries per event to be eligible. (So, 20 entries at one event will count)
The "Come and Take It" name comes from the Texas Revolution battle where
Mexico came to reclaim a cannon in the town of Gonzalez, to which the locals
said "Come and take it". After a fair amount of bloodshed the cannon stayed
put and became the source of pride for the Texans. but we figure the
Louisiana regions will have a lot of fun laughing at the Texans if they come
and take it away!
We have built a race tire shod cannon for the trophy and we will have it at
every event this year to stir up interest and should have photos posted in
the next few days.
Also, thanks to Brian and Terry for sponsoring this year's div series!!!!
