For the 2014 RDC Illgen Enduro Tag-teams and Single Car teams will NOT be competing against one another.  For each of the classes, there will be a winner in Tag Team, and a winner in Single Car Teams. There has been concern that the Tag-Teams get an advantage by going out with a fresh car, fresh tires, and a full load of fuel without need of a pit stop. So until we get the bugs worked out for next year, we thought we would not have the Tag-Teams and Single Car Teams compete against one another.

The 55th annual RDC Enduro is coming up November 9th. As of today, only three drivers have entered, and it is in danger of being cancelled. If you have been holding off sending in your entry, please do it as soon as possible. The Region has decided to wait to see if entries come up and then make a final decision on October 27th. Should the race be cancelled (for the first time in 55 seasons) please be assured you will be refunded the entry fee and you may also ask to have your RDC dues refunded if your membership was tendered as part of the Enduro. Please log on the MSR and send your entry in NOW and lets see if we can keep this tradition alive.  

The RDC Scholarship Application period for the Spring 2015 Drivers School is now open. Check out the tab at left for information.

The Racing Drivers Club has yielded to the inexorable forced march into the 21st century. Henceforth,  you will not have to leave your desk (or Starbucks couch) to join. If you are an active racer in the San Francisco SCCA, you will already have an account. And not to put a lot of pressure on you but you cannot run the RDC (5 hour!) Enduro this November at Thunderhill unless you are a member and it is still $35 until June; It goes up after that.

If you are a Worker, married to a racer, know one, might like to know one, or just someone who thinks Northern California Club Racing is cool and you would like t be involved, it is FREE, as in F..R..E..E.  It is now simple to register by going to The  http://sfrscca.motorsportreg.com/ and creating an account. It is really simple, and – did we mention this? it if free.

November 8th – 9th at Thunderhill. Start thinking about forming your Enduro team now for the best track time bargain in racing.

Barry Hilton! The RDC Board is pleased to award the 2014 Drivers School Scholarship to Barry. Each year, the RDC sponsors a deserving Region member by supplying a car and covering tuition at the Region’s Drivers School, and this is always our most difficult (but fun) announcement of the year. See you at Thunderhill this Spring, Barry.

The 2014 San Francisco Region schedule has been finalized and next spring’s Drivers School date is February 21st – 23rd. It is time for you to get your sedentary friends off the couch and into a race car for the best learn-to-race bargain in motorsports. Three days, and you walk off with an SCCA Novice Competition license (which by entering and completing a single Double Regional) will became a full fledged SCCA Regional Competition license.  So download the School entry form, rent a race car, start buying your personal safety gear. And say goodbye to the couch.

It is that time again. The Racing Drivers’ Club Scholarship is open for applications. The scholarship pays full tuition, the cost of a racecar rental, fuel, tires and support during the school.  Scholarship winners need only arrange for their own personal safety gear (driver’s suit, helmet, gloves, shoes, etc), lodging and meals while at the three-day school. See the tab left for details.

We have made some minor revisions (by popular demand) to the 2013 Enduro Supplemental Regulations. Please review changes to RULE 24  that talks about tag-team entries, and RULE 30 that revises the maximum time a driver in one team can can drive. Rule 41 is just procedural for leaving the track during the race. Check them out at the link at left.
