WELCOME TO NWORSCCA.COM

The February meeting will be at Tony Packo's Downtown. February 2nd (Groundhog Day) @ 6:30 PM
7 South Superior Street
Toledo, OH

The Great Lakes Division of the SCCA is going to have a Solo Spring Training on Saturday, March 20th in Indianapolis.

This will be a great opportunity for friends to get together and swap stories about solo - what they did on their car over the winter - events they plan to run - and possibly make some new friends!

There are a variety of seminars that will be offered and for most of the folks in GLDiv, they can come in on Saturday morning and we'll be finished by 4:30 so they can get home that same evening.

The NWOR Official Website, www.nworscca.com is long overdue for a tune-up. The software used to maintain the site reached the end of its life cycle last July.

The website belongs to all of the members and friends of NWOR, therefore, your input would greatly help the redesign of the new site.

What features of the old site did you like? What features didn’t you like? What would you like to see in the new site?

Also, we need some language to tell prospective members what the NWOR is all about. What does it mean to be a NWOR member?

What is Solo all about?

Any and all submissions would be greatly appreciated, but we would prefer that you respond within a couple of weeks.

Please reply to webmaster@nworscca.com

Thank you for your support !

Effective immediately, there has been a change to the event registration policy.

In order to speed things up at future Solo Events (including this Sunday's on 5/31) pre-registration at MyAutoEvents.com is highly recommended.

There will be an extra $5 fee for those who choose not to pre-register. Also, the walk-up registration line will be closed 1/2 hour earlier than the pre-registered line. This will be strictly enforced.

Just a reminder that there is an option to pre-register, but not pre-pay, with no additional fees.

The new rate structure is as follows:

Pre-registered Members - $20

Pre-registered Non-members - $35

Walk-up Members - $25

Walk-up Non-members - $40

We hope you understand our reasons for doing this, and apologize if it causes any inconveniences.
