A BUNCH of additional information, maps, etc. about the Mineral Wells,
Texas, ProSolo is now available at the following URL:

Due to the low number of registered entrants, the SCCA National Office
has WAIVED late fees to try to secure more entries. Don't let the Pro
part the the name (ProSolo) scare you off. Especially with a low entry
count, it looks like the chances of winning or doing well in many
classes is really good at this event.

Now is the time to sign up for this event! I hear many people complain
that there are not enough ProSolo events around the country and
especially not enough in the central part of the country.

Now is your chance to support an event that might not happen next year
if the number of entrants is not high enough this year.

Please take a look at the above URL and see if you can attend this
event. Mineral Wells is a great asphalt site and it usually has great
weather this time of the year. (The forecast for the May 19/20/21weekend
is for sunny skies and warm weather.)

Contact me if you have questions/concerns.

Thanks,

Mineral Wells Marque Club Challenge May 20-21

The SCCA ProSolo Department has created a new program at the Mineral
Wells ProSolo aimed at marque club members who have never
participated in ProSolo events before. Entrants will be given a free SCCA
Trial Membership and a special class will be created so that marque club
members can compete amongst themselves for bragging rights and cash
prizes!

b" For the Mineral Wells event the new Marque Club Challenge class is
open only to competitors new to ProSolo (defined as drivers who have not
run a ProSolo event in the last 5 years).

b" The class is open to any make or model of car that can pass a basic
safety inspection.

b" They will be placed together in an index class based on how their car
would be classed in SCCA Solo classes. If we get enough entries we can
divide the classes by Marque so the BMW's can run against each other, the
Subies can run against each other, etc.

b" Each entrant will be given a free SCCA Trial Membership (valid for 15
days). Within 30 days of the event entrants may apply this Trial
Membership toward a $15 discount on a full SCCA membership.

b" Entrants will pay the standard $85 ProSolo entry fee.

b" After class competition is completed, the top drivers scored by index
will be automatically entered into the Marque Club Challenge, a single-
elimination runoff to determine an overall winner. If there are 4 or fewer
entrants, it will be a 2-car runoff. If there are 5 or more entrants it will
be
a 4-car runoff.

b" The overall winner will receive a free 1-year SCCA membership, a free
ProSolo entry at a future event, and a $75 cash prize from Vorshlag
Motorsports. The Runner-Up will receive a free ProSolo entry to a future
event and $25 cash prize from Vorshlag Motorsports.


How to enter:

b" Pre-entry is required. Entrants must download the ProSolo entry form
from the SCCA website and fax it to the attention of Nancy Downing at
the fax number shown on the form. (Online entries will not be accepted
for this class.)

b" Payment can be made by credit card on the fax form or by bringing a
check to the event.

b" Late fees have been waived for this event. We will accept entries into
the Marque Club Challenge as late as 7:00 Friday evening at the event
site. However, we are asking all competitors to please fax their entries in
to Nancy no later than Wednesday, May 17 if at all possible.

b" Prior to the event drivers should try to familiarize themselves with the
SCCA Solo and ProSolo rules which are available for download from the
SCCA website at tinyurl.com/en4nq

b" Novice instruction in starting procedures and event format will be
available on Friday afternoon and evening at the event.

b" Drivers should bring their own Snell SA 95 or newer helmet as loaners
will not be available at the site.

Wow -- that's a heck of a deal. If you are interested in qualifying for the Finale, this sounds like a great opportunity to get that second event (in addition to Denver).
