Happy New Year, All! The 2009 Midiv Solo Schedule is official with all sites now confirmed. The program will take a little different look this year and that information will be presented at the Midiv Convention in March and sent out at that time. There are 3 Midiv Solo Series events sponsored by SPS and RS Racing - Blytheville, AR, Salina, KS & Neosho, MO (just south of Joplin, MO). There is one Midwest Division Solo Championship event sponsored by Tirerack - Lincoln, NE. This event - while held in Lincoln - will truly be a group effort. Experience from around the region will be recruited to fill vital roles for the event. April 18/19 Blytheville SPS/RS Racing Midiv Solo Event 1(Mid-South Region) June 27/28 Salina SPS/RS Racing Midiv Solo Event 2 (Salina Region) July 11/12 Neosho MO SPS/RS Racing Midiv Solo Event 3 (Ozark Mountain Region) August 22/23 Lincoln Tirerack Midwest Division Solo Championship (Nebraska Region) I will begin collecting information from throughout the region to develop a database with contact information and skill sets for region solo chiefs. Not only will this help with the larger events, but will also provide ALL regions with a resource tool for every critical area of a successful solo program. One thing I've heard often is that "XYZ" region does a great job at "123" positions, but no one knows who does what well, how they do it, what are the driving forces are for their success, etc. One dynamic document will help provide that information to Midiv regions. Midiv has a reputation of doing the deal very well. Let's make sure everyone has all the tools to do the deal even better! There is some fine tuning being worked out now on some aspects of the 2009 Midiv program and the results will be shared once finalized. Specific detailed schedules will be posted on www.midivsolo.org but I wanted you to see the overall schedule now. I'm looking forward to a very successful 2009 Midiv Solo program! See you at the Midiv Convention in KC! |
