Great American Solo Series Press Release

March 2007

The sun is shining and the 2007 solo season is right around the corner!

In 2006, the CenDiv Solo Championship Series celebrated its 21st anniversary. The CenDiv Solo Championship Series was the longest running solo series ever in the country!

In 2007, the CenDiv Solo Championship Series has a new look and is sporting a new name. This year the most successful solo series will address the needs of soloists in both Area 4 and Area 5 . the two areas that comprise the Great Lakes Division and Central Division. The series is now called .The Great American Solo Series., (GASS) with the eight events being hosted by local clubs. These eight events will run SCCA classes and be put on throughout the Great Lakes Division and CenDiv. To qualify for year end awards, a competitor must run a minimum of three events and their best five events are the ones that will count towards the year end championship. The series continues with the same premise that was held at its inception in 1985 . to provide autocrossers in the Midwest the opportunity to run quality events during the summer in preparation for the National Championship event in the fall.

For 2007, the Great American Solo Series will have one major sponsor, SoloPerformance.Com, and three associate sponsors, MidAtlantic Motorsport, MyAutoEvents.com and WCM Ultralite. Without sponsor support, it would be very difficult to offer a division-wide series at no additional cost to the competitors.

The schedule is as follows:

May 26-27       Lexington, KY
June 9-10       Springfield, IL
July 14-15      Oscoda, MI
July 28-29      Dayton, OH
August 11-12    Milwaukee, WI
August 18-19    Peru, IN
September 2     Joliet, IL
September 9     Flint, MI

The summer promises to be a busy one so come and join the fun!
