Season Ender Countdown!

We're counting down the days for the 2024 season ender. Event #9 for NWOR will be on October 13th at Owens Center for Emergency Preparedness. This event will decide Class winners, Index winners, and PAX champions! Before we get to all of that let's take a look at results for event #7, #8, and NWOR's presence at the 2024 Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals!

Event #7 and Event #8

Event #7 was a fun and super fast course at the Toledo Express Airport! The event took place about 1 week before the 2024 Tire Rack Solo Nationals so it was a great practice run beforehand. Event #8 was the final event at the airport for this season. We are so grateful to the Eugene F Kranz Toledo Express Airport for letting us use the site and being able to run a majority of our season there! Now the final showdown for the 2024 NWOR Season is right around the corner.

All the incredible photos taken at event #7 by Brian Martin! Thanks Brian!!!

Chris and Chris Fun Event

On July 13th we hosted a Fun Event in honor of Chris Bolt and Chris Pruett. After a final calculation of the event, we were able to donate $750 to the American Diabetes Association in honor of Chris Bolt and $750 to a memorial fund for an annual award at the SCCA Solo Nationals in honor of Chris Pruett. Thank you to everyone who donated to these charities!

And the 2024 Dick Berger Perseverance Award winner is . . . Robert Chrismas!

The Dick Berger Perseverance Award recognizes someone each year who is undaunted by limited success over many National Championship events, but keeps coming back to enjoy the camaraderie, community, and hopes for a trophy in competition. Our very own Robert Chrismas was honored with this award at Solo Nationals this year! Read the article below to learn more. From everyone in the Northwestern Ohio Region - Congratulations Robert!
