Sports Car Club of America
Region History

1985

July: Nebraska won the "Challenge" with Des Moines Valley Region. We also had 21 members attend the MiDiv Solo II Runoffs and we had 7 members attend the National Solo II Runoffs.

Summer: Two new NRSCCA members came into the world: Tad Michael Asay (son of Thom and Michelle Asay) and Elizabeth Michelle Anderson (daughter of Mitch and Molly Anderson).

December: The annual banquet was held at the Evergreen Inn.

1986

March: A group of NRSCCA members attended the MiDiv Convention in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

August: The club picnic was held at the "Kart Ranch" at 72nd and Q Streets.

Also August: The MiDiv Solo II Divisionals were held in Topeka, Kansas.

September: NRSCCA sent in a proposal to hold the 1987 Solo II Divisionals. Also in September was "Mac's Midnight Madness" with rallymaster John Bly at the helm.

December: The annual banquet was held at Mr. C's Steak House.

1987

June: Several of our Solo II drivers participated in "Waterloo Days" held in Waterloo, Iowa. This was a closed street solo, complete with working traffic lights which caused a few of the entrants to react by hitting their breaks when the lights turned red, only to hit their fists on the steering wheel when they realized they had just ruined their run.

July: Six Nebraska Region rally teams were running Divisional and National Rallys for points in 1987.

August: NRSCCA hosted the MiDiv Solo II Runoffs at the Lincoln Airport. There were a total of 201 entrants.

September: John Bly again was rallymaster for "Mac's Midnight Madness" Mark XIII.

1988

August: A new procedure was put into place at Solo II events. The entrant must go through Tech first and then go to registration, eliminating problems with cars not knowing their classes or cars that failed to pass Tech.

September: You guessed it! By now, the running of Mac's Midnight Madness was an annual tradition and rallymaster John Bly was once again at the helm. Mac's was a mind-bender of a rally, starting at midnight and ending at breakfast. At four in the morning, the simplest of instructions felt like a trap.

1989

March: Lanny Tejral (long time SCCA member) passed away from cancer. He drove a silver 1983 RX7 and was only in his mid-30's.

April: NRSCCA had a display in the Motor Sports Auto Show.

May: Nebraska Region had 19 members attend Mirror Khana XV (held in Salina, Kansas). Mirror Khana is as much of an annual tradition as Nebraska Region's Mac's Midnight Madness and continues to this day.

Also May: We had a wedding this month: Mark and Donna Ross.

August: Nebraska again won the NRSCCA/DMVR Challenge.

1990

February: It was announced that NRSCCA was, again, going to host the MiDiv Solo Divisionals on August 11-12, 1990

June: MirrorKhana XVI. We had about 27 Nebraska members that attended the event in Salina.

Also June: We added to the annual DMVR/NRSCCA Challenge, a personal wager by the RE that whichever Region lost, the RE got soaked, either in a "dunk tank", with water balloons, or a 5 gallon bucket of ice water. At the Des Moines/Nebraska Challenge, Anita Poss (who initiated the wager) paid the price. Ron Sharp got the honors of drowning the Nebraska Region RE for losing the Challenge, but Bob Woodhouse avenged the Region by helping Ron cool off. Yes, NRSCCA lost the "Challenge" ... but both RE's got wet.

August: We had 227 entrants at the MiDiv Solo Divisionals and over 50 of the drivers were from Nebraska.

November: By November, the Exhaust Notes staff had 11 people. We think this must have been a new record.
