Hey Autocrossers! The 2011 ProSolo in Mineral Wells is just around the corner. ProSolo events haven’t had very good attendance over the past years in Texas. In fact, the last ProSolo scheduled in Texas had to be canceled due to poor registration numbers. Looking at the recent entry numbers, the 2011 event is starting to have the same problem. As most of you know, Texas Region & Houston Region are already offering a $30 rebate program for 1st time National Tour and/or ProSolo entrants to members in each of our respective regions. This rebate program hasn’t seemed to spark enough interest for the ProSolo event & we need to do something about it! We want to see the ProSolo program succeed in Texas & return!! Several of you have spoken to me about having the two National events back to back in Texas & have cited this as a reason for not attending the Mineral Wells ProSolo. So, Texas Region SCCA is announcing another incentive never offered by any other region in the past. As a way to encourage entries for the Mineral Wells ProSolo, Texas Region is offering a $30 rebate to folks that attend both the Houston National Tour & the Mineral Wells ProSolo. Doesn’t matter what region you belong to, as long as you are a current SCCA member! It’s this simple; if you enter BOTH of these events, you’ll receive a $30 Texas Region SCCA rebate. The rebate may be applied only to Texas Region regional event entries or merchandise (such as the Texas ProSolo t-shirts, $15 per shirt). If you are interested in taking advantage of this rebate program, please follow these steps: 1. Register for both the National Tour and ProSolo events as you normally would (rebate money cannot be applied to either the National Tour and/or ProSolo event registration fees). 2. Once you have completed the National Tour and ProSolo registration process, please notify the Texas Region Solo Registrar, Matt Lucas at solorx7@verizon.net . He will verify your registration. Once verified, you will be notified that a rebate credit has been applied to the Texas Region MotorsportReg event registration service for redemption. If you would like to use the $30 rebate for the event t-shirt purchase, follow this link after you receive rebate credit. (Please purchase your t-shirts before March 16th to assure that we have enough shirts in production.) http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.advert/uidEvent/12B752FF-CFD0-BFCD-95ABD9A9FC340C42 Or if you would like to attend a future Texas Region regional event, simply go to our calendar page in MotorsportReg and register for an event: www.texasregionsolo.motorsportreg.com **As an added incentive for entrants registered in both the Texas events, the National Office is offering $10 in free Practice Start Coupons for the ProSolo Friday afternoon practice start session. Why is Texas Region offering this rebate program? Simple, WE WANT THE ProSolo TO SUCCEED & RETURN TO TEXAS! If the 2011 event doesn’t attend well, there’s a good chance the ProSolo series will not return to Texas! Help us keep the ProSolo Series in Texas!! Please note: The 1st time entrant rebate program is separate from this program. Entrants can’t participate in both rebate programs.
