FYI:
SCCA Convention moves to a new date. The new date will conflict, I
think, with Super Bowl Sunday, our traditional season opener.-jk
2005 SCCA NATIONAL CONVENTION DATES REVISED
TOPEKA, Kan. (May 7, 2004) -- Sports Car Club of America, Inc. announced
today revised dates for the 2005 SCCA Annual National Convention, moving
the event to Jan. 27-30, 2005.
The 2005 Convention will be held at the Westin Crown Center Hotel in
downtown Kansas City, Mo. The date was changed to the final weekend of
January in order to conflict with as few industry events as possible.
Another change will be the schedule of the event, including a later
overall start time on Thursday, Jan. 27. The event will be kicked-off
with the annual Leadership Luncheon at noon. Additionally, the "Secrets
of Speed" seminars have been moved to Sunday, Jan. 30 to avoid Saturday
seminar scheduling conflicts.
"After receiving considerable feedback regarding the last several
Conventions, we believe that moving the initial start time from Thursday
morning to Thursday afternoon will help cut costs for many members,"
SCCA VP of Program Development Howard Duncan said. "While some
individuals will still travel on Wednesday, many members can use
Thursday morning to travel, thus removing one night of hotel expense."
Highlighting the 2005 Convention will be the induction of the inaugural
SCCA Hall of Fame class Jan. 29 at the annual banquet. Also, even more
safety information will be provided and discussed as a follow-up to last
year's eye-popping safety symposium, which assembled many of the world's
leading motorsports safety experts.
Look for more information about the 2005 SCCA National Convention to be
released throughout the year.
