The 2008 Sediv Solo Series will see a return to the traditional series format with a 5 National Championship format events. After the experimental “Super Regional” year in 2007 it became clear that the largest attraction to the SEDIV series is the prestige, competition and quality of events that the Championship format lends itself to. For 2008 the series goal is very simple: The best events, on the best sites with the best courses that we can possibly achieve.

With a primary goal of event excellence, the secondary goals of the series are to dramatically improve communication and to keep things extremely simple. The series will return to “best 3 out of 5” scoring. The only significant change from years past is that event points will be based on percentages scores. Simply, the winner of each class will receive 100 points, while the rest of the drivers in the class will receive points based on the margin to the winner.

I am very excited about the potential of the 2008 series, but it will only be as strong as the participation. This is our series, and based on the information I have received, this is the format that we want. I am asking regions to help work with the series by making adjustments to their schedules to facilitate SEDIV participation. I am asking you, the membership to help give this series the legs it needs. The foundation of Divisional competition is the measuring stick of top-level competition. It is the first place aspiring drivers can go to see how they measure up. For this series to succeed, we need both the aspiring drivers and the drivers that set the standard.

Thank you,
