Michael, what is the difference between a Championship Tour and a Match Tour

[SE3P]

Championship Tour is the regular National Tour. 3 runs Saturday, 3 Sunday, fastest run each day combined...

A Match Tour is what the Evolution Super Shootout was last year. You have your 4 competition(class) runs on Saturday to determine the winner for that class. Sunday you have the Last chance qualifer and the super shootout of 64 competitors , to compete for the top spot.

[srduck]

Wait.... so the Match Tour is the new name for the Evo Shootout? So the idea of putting shootouts in places that don't have tours (Charlotte/Atlanta) is now just gone, eh? And our closest National Tour event isn't really a National Tour anymore?

I'm confused

[integra55]

yeah, the only one within 8 hrs isn't even a national tour event

Once we turned over control to the SCCA , Jr asked for 12 venues , he received only 3 , the rest were Howards choices .... They do however pay SCCA contingencies for Saturday class rounds AND Evolution Contingencies for the LCQ and Shootout rounds.

[srduck]

Well at least I can cross Dixie off my to-do list for the year now and save the 14 hour round trip!

[z3elda]

None for me, Thanks.

[mrbill]

Wish there was at least 1 NT event in the Charlotte/Atlanta area...I ran the National Tour in 2010 at Atlanta and had a blast. Tough , and not very comfortable, to drive 8+ hours one way to an event.

[SE3P]

Wilmington is concrete and only a 7 hour drive from Charlotte. There having a Match tour there in April, and a real "Championship" tour there in August. I plan on attending both.

[integra55]

according to Google maps it's 9 hrs for me ... I ain'ta gunna go ...

Before you get your hopes up, refer back to the post over there..... something like "I won't believe it until the FAA and insurance paperwork is signed and done."

Duckles, let's pick a car and go to Dixie. Maybe a couple others.

[ball80]

I would like to co drive with someone who has a national tour set car. Anyone up for a side kick? Fixing to buy a 4 runner so I can help tow if we have trailer

[drum3]

I might could be talked into a co-driver for Biscuit , depending on how committed someone was

You sure you want to let Travis "Spin Cycle" Ball run on your Hoosiers?" ;D

[drum3]

"How committed" means" how many Hoosiers" is he willing to bring to the table.

I would need a signed contract and a down payment in advance. And any flat spotted tires will have to be replaced immediately.

So maybe an additional set of wheels and once he flat spots them , he gets to run the flat spotted tires and I switch to the 2nd set
