With an increase in power output to 435 kW (591 hp), optimised gear shift times and the new AMG RIDE CONTROL Performance suspension, the GT evolution of the gullwing model is ready for this weekend's Formula 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX.
Car driver Bernd Mayländer is particularly pleased with his 'company car': "The SLS AMG GT is the best Safety Car I have driven!"
The job of the Official F1™ Safety Car is, as always, to help ensure maximum safety for the F1™ field is maintained in extreme situations. As soon as Race Control considers that the safe progress of the race may be impeded, it sends the Safety Car out onto the track.
Poor weather conditions or accidents are the main reasons for its deployment. The new SLS AMG GT differs from the previous SLS AMG in terms of its increased driving dynamics, even better on-track performance and also new design features.
SLS AMG GT Official F1™ Safety Car in standard production guise
In keeping with the philosophy of Mercedes-AMG, the Safety Car does without technical modifications or retrofitted lightweight design measures as far as possible. The SLS AMG GT's outstanding driving dynamics come courtesy of its thoroughbred sports car heritage.
The AMG 6.3-litre V8 front mid-engine, with a maximum output of 591 hp and 650 Nm of peak torque, is also the series-production version, as are the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission with optimised shift times, the newly developed AMG RIDE CONTROL Performance suspension, the AMG high-performance ceramic composite brake system and the weight-reduced AMG 10-spoke forged light-alloy wheels painted in matt black with a high-sheen finish.
The one exception is the specially developed rear silencer, which also featured in the SLS AMG Official F1™ Safety Car and generates an even more sensational V8 soundtrack to thrill Formula 1™ fans watching at the circuit and at home alike. The SLS AMG GT races from 0 to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds, and reaches 124 mph after just 11.2 seconds.
Visually, the SLS AMG GT can be distinguished from the SLS AMG by its darkened headlamps and tail lamps and the addition of "GT" to the AMG badge on the right-hand side of the boot lid amongst other things.

These pillows looks good, but are for decoration only, not good for everday use, and are not the size advertised which was the reason i got them, they are advertised as 20x20 and they are 18x18
I bought these for a windowseat where I have 3 cinnamon pillows and 2 geometric similar to the Empress. All the other pillows are a true 20x20, so these are disappointing in their size (18x18). But designwise they look lovely with my 2 geometrics, and with the cinnamon pillows, although they are of lesser quality than the others. The pillow forms are inexpensive types. I would prefer a sturdier form and some piping around the pillows, and of course I would definitely have liked the pillows to be the size that I ordered!.
Exactly what I ordered, very nice. arrived in a timely manner
It is a very nice pillow. A little smaller than I expected. Its a bit pricey but I like it.
These pillows are just what I was looking for, very traditional & matched my leather sofa perfectly. I would luv 2 more but they're 2/$74 but if it's the look you want they are very well made & worth it.
This product is one of my better buys. I searched many stores to find the "just right" pillow for my living room.
The colors were absolutely true to life and the pillows are stunning. I have a lot of rust in my oriental rugs and the rust in these pillows matches perfectly. I am SO pleased with this order. Thank you for a great match!!
These pillows are pretty and i love the style and color. However they read darker arnd heavier than expected. I used them with a lighter color/fabric on my couch and they look great.
The pillows are fantastic. We have them on a burgundy leather sofa and love seat, they look stunning! The quality is great, the covers will zip off for dry cleaning. The filling is some type of poly blend, but can be easily replaced or upgraded if needed down the road to something better like down. I would recommend these pillows.
Although the reddish color of the pillow was warmer than I thought, the photo is true to its color. It's a elegantly beautiful and comfortable pillow.

ElasticUtils is a Python library for building and executing Elasticsearch searches.
Turns out I haven't announced an ElasticUtils release since August 2012. Why? Partially because up until now, I always had deep-seated problems with ElasticUtils and wasn't excited about announcing yet another version with things I disliked in it.
I feel really good about v0.7 for a variety of reasons. Let me tell you some of them:
We switched from pyes to pyelasticsearch. I'm really happy with this.
There was a monumental effort to fix sharp edges in the API, generalize bits that needed generalizing, improve the quality of the software, improve the test suite, improve the docs, ...
Doing a git diff --stat tells me:
65 files changed, 6164 insertions(+), 2716 deletions(-)
That's a lot of change for a small project like this.
If you're using ElasticUtils, I highly encourage you to update to v0.7. We're using it on Input and Support already.

If you have any questions, let us know! We hang out on #elasticutils on irc.mozilla.org.
I just finished up an overhaul of ElasticUtils and then an overhaul of the search infrastructure for support.mozilla.org. During that period of time, I thought about extending the ElasticUtils documentation to include things I discovered while working on these projects. Then I decided that this information is temporal---it's probably good now, but might not be in a year. Maintaining it in the ElasticUtils docs seemed like more work than it was worth.
Thus I decided to write a series of blog posts.
This one covers indexing. Later ones will cover mappings, searching and other things.
It's also long, rambling and contains code. The rest is after the break.
ElasticUtils is a Python library for building and executing ElasticSearch searches.
I was only at the sprints for a single day. Rob and I spent some time working on elasticutils. Several good things came out of that:
Someone on IRC asked whe the next version of elasticutils will go out. I have no schedule right now, but I think it's important to let the code get used by projects that don't mind being bleeding edge and bake for a bit. The code in master tip right now is 0.7.dev and the big change since 0.6 is that we switched from pyes to pyelasticsearch. That's a big change---the more baking it does, the better.
Having said that, a release depends mostly on how much free time I have in the near future. I'm about to lose all free time for a bit, so my guess is that we won't see a 0.7 release until this summer unless there's a compelling reason to push one out.
In the meantime, I'm actively maintaining the v0.5 and v0.6 branches. I'd like to stop maintaining the v0.5 branch, but need to get Mozillians and AMO off of it first.
If you have any questions, let us know! We hang out on #elasticutils on irc.mozilla.org.
ElasticUtils is a Python library for building and executing ElasticSearch searches.
I released v0.4 a couple of days ago. This release adds new functionality, fixes some issues, adds more tests, and includes improved documentation.
On top of that, we removed the requirement for Django and moved the Django-aiding components into elasticutils.contrib.django. I personally like this because it makes it much easier to write test scripts to see how things react.
For the complete list of what's new, What's new in Version 0.4.
If you have any questions, let us know! We hang out on #elasticutils on irc.mozilla.org.
A few months ago, I "took over" maintenance of elasticutils. We use it in SUMO as the API for building search queries with elasticsearch.
One of the first things I did was spend some time figuring out whether we should keep working on elasticutils at all. django-haystack also provides a django-ish API for working with elasticsearch. Why have two libraries that at a high level do the same thing?
The thing is that they're not exactly the same. django-haystack is really great and supports a variety of backends for search, elasticsearch being one of them. Right now, it only has support for elasticsearch in 2.0 which is in either an alpha or beta state now (their web-site could use some updates). However, because it supports a bunch of backends, it only supports functionality that works across all of them.
elasticutils, on the other hand, is elasticsearch-specific. As elasticsearch adds functionality, we can, too. That's the compelling reason to keep working on this library. However, django-haystack has some awesome ideas that we'd like to implement in elasticutils, too. This will fix some sharp edges in elasticutils, but also make it much easier for projects to switch from one to the other.
Currently, elasticutils only handles the query side of things. django-haystack handles that, but also has an API for defining mappings, indexing, and all the other things you need with a search system.
Thus, Rob Hudson and I are going to embrace and extend elasticutils to:
One of the things users of a library need is for the library to be a mature project with releases, tagged version, documentation, tests, stability, reliability, reproduceability, communication, community and all that. Thus, I'm also going to spend some time to turn this into a real project. Towards that end, I created #elasticutils on irc.mozilla.org where we'll talk dirty elasticutils stuff. If we end up with more people pitching in, we'll create a mailing list. But for now, IRC will do.
My next step is to spend a little time cleaning up what's in the master branch, then tag and release a baseline version.
After that, I'm going to spend time identifying, thinking about and merging in the divergent functionality in the various branches while Rob works on continuing his imperative mapping work.
I think in a couple of months, we'll be in a better place and that'll make it easier for Mozilla projects and anyone else who wants to use elasticutils to use and contribute to it.
If you're a user of elasticutils, please come hang out with us! Let us know how we can better help you.

Make sure and get Fantasy Alarm's award winning 2013 Fantasy Baseball iPhone App!
Vegas may not have been as hopping as we thought it would be (where was everyone?), but that doesn't mean that it wasn't as much fun as I was expecting. I participated in a baseball draft for the FSTA, networked at the conference, and talked shop with some of the best minds in the business. I also got the chance to spend some time with the brain trust of Fantasy Alarm, and without naming names, I can tell you that these are some quality people folks. You are in good hands if you have Fantasy Alarm bookmarked as a daily read. Now that my sucking up is at an end, though let's face it I'm nothing if not someone who understands the value of self promotion passing along accolades when needed, let's get down to the baseball analysis.

Alice Cooper
Welcome 2 My Nightmare
Alice Cooper's last album, 2008's Along Came A Spider, was his highest-charting record since the 1991 release of Hey Stoopid. A concept album about a serial killer, Spider also marked Coop's return to the theatrical after he'd re-embraced his earlier garage-tinted hard rock with The Eyes Of Alice Cooper and Dirty Diamonds. So in the interest of striking while the commercial iron was hot, this newest album was originally slated as a sequel to Spider's storyline, but then along came a producer.
Now, to be fair, it wasn't just any producer. It was the producer, a legend and the sonic architect of Cooper's best records – Bob Ezrin produced Alice Cooper's records from the time Alice Cooper was a band until the time Alice the man embraced New Wave in the early 1980s. (Ezrin also produced The Wall and Kiss' Destroyer, in case you're keeping track.) This producer apparently wasn't interested in a sequel to Along Came A Spider and proposed instead a sequel to Cooper's first post-band album, 1975's Welcome To My Nightmare, the record that is routinely cited as Alice's finest solo release. And then, to add fuel to the fire of my anticipation, Cooper invited the surviving members of the original Alice Cooper band to participate in three of the songs – the first time they've recorded together since 1973. (Cooper band lead guitarist Glen Buxton passed away in 1997.)
So, to be fair again, the idea of an experienced artist once again on an upswing re-uniting with the producer who facilitated that artist's creative and commercial peak is a no-brainer. Add to that the band that made them both famous, and it's a shoe-in for a major event. But reunions can also smell a bit of desperation, and revisiting your biggest success some thirty-five years later lends itself to a worrisome lack of new ideas and the potential that you'll never live up to your own greatness. Because there's also this pesky little fact: In music as in film, rarely do sequels equal the original, let alone improve upon it, especially when so much time elapses between the pieces.
So knowing all this, I went into Welcome 2 with mixed emotions, and I came out the same way. As much as I wanted this to be the success that a Cooper-Ezrin-Bruce-Dunaway-Smith combination should be, I can't help but wonder what that sequel to Spider would've sounded like with Ezrin at the helm because most of Welcome 2 does exactly what Cooper always says he does: plays up to my greatest fears. Only this time, that's not entirely a good thing.
Cooper himself compares the album-opening epic semi-ballad "I Am Made Of You" to "Hello Hooray," the similarly paced tune that begins Billion Dollar Babies, and in some ways, it's a very good comparison. Except that "Hello Hooray" doesn't feature Cher / T-Pain-esque auto-tuned vocals, and even if it had, that would've been thirty years too early instead of five years too late. The Coop has flirted with pop before – his better-than-people-think early-80s records were more in line with The Cars than with hard rock, and his late-80s comeback came on a crest of Desmond Child-penned pop-metal tunes. But in Welcome 2's most egregious stumbles, his pop tendencies, however tongue-in-cheek they may be, overcome his rock sensibilities. Between the auto-tune and the Ke$ha guest appearance in the dance-y "What Baby Wants" sits the flat-out embarrassing rapping in "Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever." In the album's storyline, Cooper uses disco / dance-pop as a particular punishment in Hell (a perfectly valid concept that he initially explored on 1976's Alice Cooper Goes To Hell), but he seems to forget that, even as he's telling us about the punishment of listening to crap dance music, he's making us listen to crap dance music, except with some heavier guitars. I get that it's sarcasm, a joke, and Cooper has always had a great sense of humor, but a bad song is a bad song, even in jest.
But there is an upside, and it's a little over half of the album. While the failures are glaring, the successes are a bit subtler, if only because they're more in line with what Cooper does when he's at his best. "I'll Bite Your Face Off," one of the three tunes recorded with the Bruce-Dunaway-Smith section, is a straight-ahead garage-y hard rocker, and it's easy to see why it was chosen as the first single. The moody "When Hell Comes Home" (which also features the original band) rides a truly creepy arrangement and details the protagonist's life with an abusive alcoholic father, and it's the finest track on hand. The twisted music-hall oompah of "Last Man On Earth" is almost Tom Waits-ish, and Cooper pulls it off admirably, while "Something To Remember Me By" is a ballad in the style of his late-70s successes "Only Women Bleed" and "I Never Cry." ("Something" is a hold-out from that era – it wasn't recorded when it was written because Cooper apparently couldn't sing it. He fares well here, but it's not his finest vocal moment.)
So as much of Welcome 2 works as doesn't, but what doesn't work is awful, and unfortunately it's the most prominent and memorable part of the record. Cooper's theatricality has long been his most defining feature, and the original Welcome To My Nightmare is his most theatrical moment – it's a campy near-Broadway play filtered through Hammer horror, but it also works as a rock record, largely because it features some of Alice's best tunes of the era. Welcome 2 simply can't compete with that record's quality, and in its scattershot embracing of everything from country to surf-rock, it succumbs to its own theatrics and falters.
Tethering your latest record to your greatest is always a gamble, and when it comes down to it, the team of Cooper-plus-band-plus-Ezrin can do much, much better than this, and if it needs one at all, Welcome To My Nightmare deserves a better sequel, too. To make a positive of it: Welcome 2's best moments are those that re-unite the man with the band, and here's hoping that, if nothing else comes of this, that the five of them (including Ezrin) can keep their working relationship good enough to explore that chemistry further. Just remember to leave the disco on the dance-floor next time.

Childhood is fun. Of course, when we are children, we think that there is some greater significance in being an adult. Then we become adults…and we become nostalgic for our childhood days, friends, and activities. The truth is that growing up sucks big time. No one tells you why being an adult is so difficult. But at the risk of sounding simplistic I see one big difference between adulthood and childhood: a well-honed ability to conceal our deeper emotions and hide our true selves. Getting to this state is a grueling process. We slam our fingers in the emotional "doors" of life at home, school, work and church until we figure out that it's not safe to be emotionally available to others…or at least not on a deep level. Girls become superficial and guys become "commitmentphobic." And then we make a big life decision. Not the big ones you are thinking of though this one impacts all the others. We decide to share only 10% of who we are with others. Why only 10%? Because those are the only parts of us we can control in public. And the other 90% turns into anxiety, concealed rage, depression, and addiction.
Depressing, huh? Yep.
God never designed us to live this way. He thinks you're okay. But part of adulthood is conceding to the fact that others don't think you are. They criticize, judge, and manipulate to prove this to you. Sadly, Jesus bled out on a cross to show you the exact opposite. Could that be true? It's a risk to believe something so radical. I came across this quote in Dallas Willard's book, The Divine Conspiracy. He describes mature spirituality in a way that seems foreign to what we encounter daily:
Interestingly, 'growing up' is largely a matter of learning to hide our spirit behind our face, eyes, and language so that we can evade and manage to achieve what we want and avoid what we fear. By contrast, the child's face is a constant epiphany because it doesn't yet know how to do this. It cannot manage its face. This is also true of adults in moments of great feeling–which is one reason why feeling is both greatly treasured and greatly feared. Those who have attained considerable spiritual stature are frequently noted for their 'childlikeness.' What this really means is that they do not use their face and body to hide their spiritual reality. In their body they are genuinely present to those around them. That is a great spiritual attainment or gift."
There's no need to be afraid of who we truly are. If you haven't made a New Year's Resolution yet, here's one to consider. Refuse to grow up. Refuse to hide the best of who you are from others. Be childlike…so much so that your emotional and spiritual states shine through your body and facial expressions. Say "no thanks" to intimidation, social pressure, and shame…and just be you.

Petre Inspirescu mixes fabric 68
MickawroteThu, 14 Mar 2013@Stitch: I can tell you didn't give the mix a good listen, because this mix isn't mixed in a studio application but mixed with DJ gear (either turntables or CD tabletops etc.). You can tell by a few transitions where you can hear beatmatching corrections. The mixing is actually very good for me, very subtle.
StitchwroteWed, 27 Feb 2013Since when basic fading between tracks is a Mix ?! I like Inspirescu's music but Fabric series are supposed to be something definitely different than this kind of 'sound set-up'. Like for the music, dislike for the...mix (?).

This evening I have been trying to render a sphere and add colour. Using Idrawgirls tutorial on warm and cold colours. link at bottom.
I think my three weakest areas are
1) control of edges; sharp / blurry for focus / depth.
2) Adding colour to greyscale, this is really difficult and need more tutorials before I can really attempt to understand it.
3) Achieving visual depth / perspective using values.
To be honest I should probably just give up totally. I know I will never be as good as I want and the things I see in my head will probably never be realised, but I am here now and the only way to improve is to work my arse off from now, til... forever. So i will just see how good I can get, thanks for all your patience and help (who am I even talking to? lol)...whatever, too tired, try again tomorrow \o/

When I hear the phrase "Digital Stills and Motion Camera" (DSMC), I usually think of stills as being Full Frame 35mm Film, and I usually think of motion-pictures as being S35. Since FF35 can envelope S35 and 16mm, B4, etc, I think of DSMC as FF35.
The announcement by Red Digital Cinema to release Scarlet DSMC's in 2/3" and S35 is great, as is the announcement to release Epic S35's -and I'm not criticizing; however, I'm wondering if what really makes "obsolescence obsolete," with respect to a DSMC, is only the FF35.
Although there seems to be pools of manifested interest isolated around each of these smaller sensor sizes, I wonder if what filmmakers want most is an FF35 sized sensor, which could use any of their lenses from FF35 on down to B4, as the base DSMC, with the option to upgrade their base DSMC with a module (ASIC) that would grant them the processing power for higher framerates, datarates, and higher resolution (Epic size it).
From my own studies in ASIC design, I've come to respect anyone up to the task, so if RED has deemed such an idea impractical, then I'm sure they know best. I do however think that if they were to only focus on designing one sensor size, it could save them a lot of effort and money. If it wasn't practical to modularly separate the extra processing power (ASIC), RED could even just sell the Epic FF35 (at the 2/3" price) and allow users to purchase, or even rent (temporarily unlock) extra processing power (via expiring firmware updates), and thereby RED could dominate not only sales of professional cinematography tools (because everyone would buy one [or more]), but control rental in that respect also (because everyone would have bought one and rentals would go through RED without hardware transactions). While some may wince at the idea of giving Epic FF35's away at the price of a 2/3" Scarlet (with the Epic sized framerates, datarates, and resolution locked out), when it comes to research and development, it's often said that the first ASIC cost one-hundred million to make, and the second one cost less than a buck. The latter idea would clearly have its own set of issues (firmware hacks, etc), which is why the former would appear better (Epic Size ASIC Module).
I don't expect this to make any waves over at RED as I'm sure they'll do what they think is best; however, I am interested to hear from Redusers on whether this is what they really want, or if the currently proposed smaller sensor sizes happen to be what they really want, why? The floor is yours-

Michigan Senate committee to consider 3 gun-related bills, including 'Firearms Freedom Act'
The Republican-led Michigan Senate Judiciary Committee plans to meet this week to consider three gun-related bills introduced in the first week of the state's legislative session.
Gun purchases and licensing information would become confidential under a Senate bill to be taken up Wednesday. Information would be available only to law enforcement and would be exempt from Freedom Information Act requests.
This bill comes after a New York newspaper published the names and address of local gun owners.
The committee will also take up the "Michigan Firearms Freedom Act." The bill would exempt Michigan-made guns and ammunition from federal regulations.
Another bill to be addressed Wednesday would make state law consistent with federal law and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regulations regarding who can sell firearms.

As you can all tell I am totally stoked and excited! I have learned the meaning of personal commitment! I have learned how strong I really am! I learned about healing and wholeness! I learned how wonderfully well the body heals from years of phood abuse and toxic overload given the proper methods: juice and resting the colon and of course lots of rest!
I will be posting a blog later on this week regarding my journey the last 6 months to healing my body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
Right now I am adjusting to eating solid food and it's a real trip! LOL I'll post more about this in tomorrow's blog.
I want to give a shout out to my friend and mentor in the 811rv lifestyle and so much more: ROSALIE ESTHER. She is on this site and also on the site that I was kicked off of because of discussing 811rv on a raw food team! LOL She has been my solice, my friend, my companion on this long journey to healing. She is a vast resource of knowledge about health and healing. I dearly admire her own passage to health and feel she is an ace in anyone's arsenal against disease. THANK YOU ROSALIEE!!
I also want to acknowledge all my buddies on Spark People. They were avid supporters of not only my juice feast journey but also of my discussing 811. Thank you all! You kept me going in times of trouble and doubt. There were many days when I would have thrown in the towel and because of you all I didn't!!
Some of you here have been supporting me and I thank you very much. Switching at the end of a long journey was a little troublesome but manageable. Thank you for not criticizing my choice of a fast.
Now the fun begins for me and that is my transition week eating once again towards 100 days of 80/10/10 by the book. I will miss my V6 green drink and my garlic. Everything else is gone from my healthy eating lfrv program already. I am overt fat free and loving it. That will continue to be part of my program during the next 100 days.
Thanks for reading and commenting on my blogs. Your support does help and inspire me to greater heights.
I would like your permission to post your blog on Spark.
You are truly amazing and my inspiration on this LFRV lifestyle. Congratulations on your 90 days and I'm looking forward to the next 100! :)
Congrats! Best wishes.

It's ok, I figured out how Gimp works, and if difficult, I think it'sone of the best, so I'm ok, thanks, anyways.
I tried to make Mantracker.
This makes me want to trek across the Canadian Wilds in a black trenchcoat or whatever.
Nice! Kind of makes me thing of Mother/Earthbound in some aspects. And yet different.
Point is, I like it. ^^
Point is, I like it. ^^
Yeah, I got (read: copied) my style from Mother 3 when I first started spriting. I think at this point I've grown enough for it to not be a complete ripoff anymore though.
This is as good as i get, what am i doing wrong?
I can't seem to get precise enough, and when i oversize the pixel, i don't quite see what i'm doing.
It's a good start. My advice to you. Start small. Do 16 x 16 sprites and work your way up. Familiarise yourself with the small and the large becomes easy.
This is as good as i get, what am i doing wrong?
I can't seem to get precise enough, and when i oversize the pixel, i don't quite see what i'm doing.
Protip: Don't use the MS Paint spraypaint tool. I'm not actually sure if you did or not, but trust me--avoid looking like you did as well.
(as awesome as the spraypaint tool is...)
uhh.. don't save as a jpeg ever when doing pixel work (use png). surprised no one mentioned this yet.
i'll remember that, this said, i just tried it, it didn't make much difference. If it looks blurred, that's just my doing! (though i'm sure on a large scale it does make a difference).
Well if you resaved it as .png then yeah not going to do anything. You need to save it as a lossless format to start with.
I didn't, I used Gimp.
... Yeah I realized that later. Don't let anyone tell you that MS Paint isn't the best way to make pixel art though.
(that's a lie).
I can try Paint, i have Windows (xp) on another partition, too many viruses, so i only go on the internet on my actual partition, which is Linux (sort of a drag to go back and forth but worth it!), surprised though, Paint is considered like shit by Linux and Gimp users! (or did i get you ?)
Paint can be used to pixel, it has all the tools you need. But layer-based editors are the best, and Gimp happens to be free. Paint is also slower to use since its not spriter(pixeler w/e)-friendly on account of minimum tools and features. As a result it takes much longer to learn and use Paint with the same efficiency as, say, Gimp.
ok, thanks for the clear explanation, i'll stick with Gimp then. (I'll give Paint a try though, to see.)

On the heels of the announcement naming BFGoodrich® Tires the Official Street Tire of Sports Car Club of America in 2011, the two companies announced the formation of the new BFGoodrich Tires SCCA Super Tour — bringing some of the feel and prestige of the SCCA National Championship Runoffs to key events across the country.
As part of the Super Tour, SCCA and BFGoodrich Tires will embark on a number of marketing, promotional and ceremonial initiatives to elevate the stature of the select events, making them the "can't miss" events within a Conference.
"With the support of our new partner BFGoodrich Tires, we are able to create something that has been missing within the Club Racing program – a defined top-level collection of events not unlike the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Tour," SCCA President & CEO Jeff Dahnert said. "We're now able to provide many of the things found at the Runoffs – Victory circle celebrations, Live Timing & Scoring and lap notes, special victory lap celebrations, door prizes, parties and more — at some of the top events across the country."
Unlike the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Tour, in which a travelling operations staff conducts the events separate from the Regional and Divisional schedules, the SCCA Super Tour will be a cooperative effort between SCCA's National office and the host Regions. The Regions will continue to run all event operations, while the National organization will provide additional marketing, PR, promotional and ceremonial support.
In 2013, six events will make up the BFGoodrich Tires SCCA Super Tour, with at least one per Majors Conference.
2013 BFGoodrich Tires Super Tour Events
Sebring Super Tour: January 4-6, Sebring International Raceway
Western Super Tour: Jan. 25-27, Auto Club Speedway
Texas Super Tour: March 8-10, Circuit of the Americas
VIRginia Super Tour: April 19-21, VIRginia International Raceway
Mid-Ohio Super Tour: May 30-June 1, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course
