[Kcup] SVRA. Mid-Ohio

[Shawn Frank]

A Mid Ohio mid day race may alleviate any misunderstanding like we had at Buttonwillow. I have heard about the conversation in scoring and timing just before they called the race. Kas had said that it was the worst race in KCup history due to the early checkered, which was completely disheartening to me to hear that from him.
He said that he personally heard them say "It will take at least 15 minutes to get them running again. I'm tired, let's just call the race." He also told me not to quote him on the subject. The early race ending made me mad a little, as they took NO consideration in the fact that some came from Canada and all around the US. They didn't come for a 6 lap race. Maybe they were under the assumption  that everyone was local? Also, I was shorted the opportunity to take at least another 1000 photos. I had plans to mix up my shooting style a little. Good thing I waited on that and got good shots first. Regardless, it was a disappointment for all.
A mid day Mid Ohio race would definitely avoid another situation like that, although the fault was whomever was in charge of scoring and timing and NOT VARA...

We usually have the Kastner Cup at the end of the day on Saturday.
SVRA schedules it SATURDAY AFTER LUNCH.

My preference is not to disrupt the format that SVRA has laid out. In fact, Saturday after lunch may have its advantages.
More likely to be on schedule.More spectators on hand.Less rush to get to dinner or out of the track.Ad nauseum.
It won’t be so rushed for some of us, when we determine the outcomes.
I like it.
I’d still like to get a copy of the weekend schedule, for reference. Anyone have a copy?
Thanks, Rick Parent.

 Hi Joe,
Yes Alex told me he spoke to someone about next year, no worries there.
The Feature races are generally the first race after lunch on Saturday with a fan walk during lunch preceding the race.

 Rick,

I was going to join SVRA, but I don’t race anymore, and the spectator thing doesn’t look like a fit.

I’ll have Sean join. 

I need the typical weekend schedule for SVRA Mid- Ohio. I looked for a link for this, but didn’t find it.


The reason being; we usually arrange to run the Kastner Cup on Saturday afternoon.

I will need to know if this is possible.

Who should I be talking to?

Marty Sukey did work with someone on Paddock Placement. “Alex”?  

Thanks,



Joe Alexander
