Dixie SCCA to hold July 19th Solo Event at Spence Field in Moultrie, Georgia

One of the many challenges of hosting an SCCA solo event is first locating and securing a suitable site for the venue. Dixie Region is fortunate to have one of the finest Solo event sites in the southeast to call home, the nearly 11 acre asphalt parking lot at South Georgia Motorsports Park located just north of Valdosta, Georgia. "While we are lucky to have such a terrific Solo site at South Georgia Motorsports Park, we are always on the lookout for new sites to include on our schedule", explains Bryan Batchelor, Dixie Region Solo Chairman. According to longtime Dixie member J.K. Jackson, "Back in the 1970s we held events at the FSU stadium parking lot, then moved to Tallahassee Community College in the 80s, the Tallahassee airport terminal parking lot throughout the 90s, then Bainbridge, Ga. Commodore Decatur Industrial Park starting in 2001 until we relocated to SGMP a few years ago."

Bryan Batchelor negotiated the use of the Spence Field airport with the Moultrie City Commission. Spence Field was constructed as a military training base during WWII and was closed shortly after the war ended. Today the City of Moultrie owns Spence Field known to locals as the location of the Sunbelt Agricultural Expo and Moultrie Automotive Swap Meet. The all concrete surface at Spence Field provides over 7 acres of course track. Spence Field will not replace our SGMP venue rather be an alternate location and allows Dixie to expand its Solo event schedule. The first event at Spence Field will be held on July 19, 2009.

Solo Safety and Kart Stewards Needed

Dixie Region is seeking volunteers for Safety Stewards and Kart Stewards to work during Dixie sanctioned events. A Safety Steward helps plan and oversee the safety aspect of Solo events. They must understand and execute the regulations under which SCCA operates its events. Safety Stewards are responsible for spectator control and course design review. Solo events can not happen without a Safety Steward present. New Safety Stewards must attend a training seminar and act as deputy Safety Steward at two (2) Solo events. Contact Dixie Regional Executive Mike Lollar (850-459-5159) for more information and to sign up for the training seminar to be scheduled soon.
