IRDC Racing Official

And that's how you do it when it's go time at the IRDC POKER RUN.

03/23/2023

Sometimes, even with the best preparation and intentions, you drive down to Pre-grid and at the one minute whistle, the car won’t start. You could say the same thing happened with the First Annual IRDC Meet and Greet/Banquet. With all the best intentions, we hoped to gather as many racers and friends as possible and have a pre-season kick-off party with gifts and awards. Sadly, the transmission fell out, and we couldn’t get out of pre-grid.

In all seriousness, there are just too many competing events once spring starts and it made no sense to the board to spend vital club money on an event when less than 10% of our members were available to attend.

SO… For anyone who had signed up, you’re money has been refunded. And now to totally mess with your heads.

“Will the event be rescheduled?” YES!

“For when” you ask? “Same exact time place.”

“Did I hear that right?” That is right! If you were planning to attend, attend anyway. Just do it for free now. (And we humbly apologize for any confusion.)

This event has developed a serious case of the casuals. We have cancelled the vendor, and we will be BBQ’ing Hotdogs and Hamburgers. There will be libations, but feel free to bring something if you’re tastes are overly cultured.

We have opened this even up to Dobson Stuttgart VIP customers and AVANTS members who have a desire to go racing. This will be a party with a touch of marketing, to show people how cool we are. It’s sort of like a combined practice/qualifying session.

As I said the first time, if you want to see your friends, drool on some exquisite German Sports cars, meet Dominic Dobson, eat a burger and drink a beers, and hopefully talk to any future racers who are on the fence, please come down Saturday and hang out with us. Or even bring your neighbor who is always telling you how fast their Volvo is.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!

FREE - Anyone interested in some IRDC and Conference history? I have the hood from Ron Johnson’s VW rabbit that needs a new home. I would hate for it to go to the scrapyard. It would make a good wall art for a garage. Let me know if interested. Located in Shoreline, WA

What does everyone think about the new Chicane at the Ridge?!

Who’s excited about the new chicane at The Ridge?! Having walked it this past weekend we know it will be a great addition to this track.

How many seconds do you think this will add to lap times?

Now is the time for rule changes. Conference is one of the only organization that allows the members to submit rule changes and govern themselves when they race. If you wish to submit a rule change go to the Conference website and under Reference scroll down to rules and there are 2 forms to use one in PDF and the other to print off and write in your rule change. Please consult the Conference rule book Section 1A for the process of submission of rule changes. We are a little behind the schedule as called out in the rule book and do not want our rule changes to be deleted as happened last year due to late submission.

Our friends down at Cascade Sports Car Club hosted the Dash for Kids race this past weekend as part of the ICSCC Championship. It was a very hot weekend down in Portland with 100 degree temperatures. Drivers and workers did their best to keep themselves cool. Some great racing took place and we enjoyed seeing many of our IRDC Members hitting the track all weekend!

Thanks Doug Berger for capturing some great shots for us to share! - Dbpics.com
