SEDiv Solo2 competitors,
It grieves me to report that we must cancel the 2nd event of the 2001
Evolution Performance Driving School SEDiv Solo2 Championship Series
scheduled July 21 & 22 at McDill AFB in Tampa, FL. A new commander came in
several months ago and ceased all autocross activities at the McDill base. I
am solely to blame for the situation as the Central Florida Region didn't
want to use the McDill site because of it's volatility, but I insisted.
Lately it looked like we were going to work through the issue with the new
commander, but time is running out, we are not making progress on re-gaining
access to the scheduled site, and we do not have an alternate site to use on
such short notice. Hence, the cancellation.
I know this is an inconvenience to many of you who made special plans and
arrengements so you could attend this event, but I especially want to
apologize to Frank Edwards and the rest of the CFR Solo2 program coordinators
who worked so diligently to pull everything together for the event, only to
see their efforts go to waste.
At this point I do not have a plan of action in place to address the
cancellation accept to say that I will make every effort to find a
replacement event in the Florida area if possible . However, due to the
lateness of the season, and the present schedule of other events &
activities, it looks like it will be another post-Nationals time frame before
we could fit in the replacement event. I'll see what we can come up with and
let you know.
So the next event of the Evolution SEDiv Solo2 Series will be held Aug. 25-26
at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry, GA. This event is a definite
happening. The SEDiv event will be part of the annual Georgia Motorfest
show. In addition to the standard SEDiv Solo2 fare of free, on-site
Evolution-sponsored lunch socials for both days and the Edwards & Edwards
Consulting (the SEDiv Solo2 website provider and manager) SEDiv Rookie
Challenge Series, we will also be featuring the exciting, new Evolution Team
Challenge concept event.
Thanks to excellent sponsorship from both Kumho Tires & Evolution, the Team
Challenge event should produce a large, deep payout to rival anything else in
the solo2 community. Entry into the Team Challenge portion of the event
includes a free practice session from 9 AM - 3 PM on the Friday Aug. 24. For
more information please go to the Official E&EC SEDiv Solo2 Website located

Thanks for all your support, patience, and understanding.
