SOLO REPORT: (Al Hermans)
The 2021 KCR Solo season started late but picked up steam as we went along. Our first event was not until late May but we were still able to have 10 events and a test and tune by using both days of weekends, except for one. We attracted a total of 766 entries for an average of just over 76 people per event. The largest event was 104 drivers. We anticipate a more traditional schedule for 2022 but may make use of a couple of two event weekends to help save money on sanction fees.
On the down side, the national office eliminated the JDP program in October leaving several local junior drivers and parents with fewer options for driving their carts after more than a year of uncertainty.
On the divisional level, 10 events (5 weekends) were held, 6 of which were at new locations or where we have not been for a while. Class trophies for KCR members should arrive shortly and will be distributed at the banquet.
Nationally, the Champ tour and Pro-solo schedules have just been released.
MEMBERSHIP REPORT: (Paula Diehl)
Reported a current membership of 566. We had 122 new members for the year.
KVRG REPORT: (Chris Kern)
Please watch the calendar for track night, and need numbers for CRF event.
Mike we had two events. Last majors made money and the regional did not and we were within $1 for
RALLYCROSS ANNUAL REPORT (Niles Davis)
The Rallycross program had a good year all in all but not without some turbulence.
We lost our third site at Riverside this year, due to the city selling off the land we raced on.
We had the midseason stepping down of two of our RAC board members. Resulting in others having to step up and fill the void left by these members.
However there were plenty of bright spots.
Our Riverside Rip divisional event brought out some great competition from around the Midwest, and this event went incredibly well, setting us up with a good relationship with surrounding competitors. I feel that when we have another divisional event, the turnout will be even better as we have established the KCRX program as a competent and well respected one.
We averaged over 30 drivers per event for the year and had our best turnout I can remember to date with our Event #13.
We are hoping to carry this momentum into next year and continue to grow our program!
