"Ready, Set, GONE!!!"


ACCO Opening weekend has come and gone.
Saturday April 19th was cool and calm, Sunday April 20th, Cold and White
Sunday was the first point event of the year and Kyle Schmidt (SM 49.431) lead the pack by a full second in Raw Time .
Connor Neal (KART FJA 2- 120.000) was the only entry to run in the middle of a Central Oregon White Out. Yes, ACCO hed its first Snow Event, about a half hour of snow right after the lunch break. Steve Wynne (DS 41.314) finshed the day with top PAX (DS 41.314).

All categories will run both morning and afternoon, you will get 3 run per session.
If you take your 3 runs in the morning group and you are satisfied with your time you can leave or stay and run 3 in the afternoon group for a total of 6 runs.
You can run in the afternoon group for 3 runs.
All runs will count toward points. Your best time of the day will be counted for points.
The groupings may be modified during the course of the year if the ACCO determines a change is appropriate. Please post any question you have in the forum.
