>>Seeking input on your autoxing area.

>Salina Region SCCA, Salina, Ks.
>
>>How long is your season?
>
>April to November -- Usually one event a monthy -- includes the Mirror
Khana
>in June (a 2-day special event with a unique format), usually a 2-day
>Divisional Championship event (in April 2000), usually a 2-day Evolution
>School (formerly McKamey, also April 2000).
>
>>How many events in that season?
>
>Approx 10 including the above.
>
>>What kind of courses are run (technical, open, top speed, etc.)?
>
>We tend to open, faster courses, which our long, narrow site (former
airport
>runway) tends to encourage. I am trying to get some slower, more technical
>courses designed just for the variety.
>
>>What condition is the surface in?
>
>Concrete, generally very good although there are a few breakup areas along
>the edge.
>
>>How many runs can be had at an event, including extra runs?
>
>Typically 4, sometimes 5. Usually fun runs after while results are
compiled.
>
>>What's the typical turnout and how long does the event usually take?
>
>30-50 cars. FCO about 11 am, often done by 3 or 4.
>
>>What caliber of drivers are at the event, any national winners?
>
>Everything from national champions to newbies. Most local drivers are not
>that high on the competitive range, although we have a couple of Nationals
>trophy winners in the Region. We get a lot of visiting drivers from
Wichita,
>Nebraska, Kansas and Kansas City Regions, including a few national champs.
>
>>
>>Feel free to add any questions and answers.
>
>We run our events in just a random scramble. Not by classes, and not by any
>specified class run order. Generally 5-6 heats of 5-8 cars per heat.
>
>>Has this study been done before?
>
>Not that I've responded to.
