Month: May 2026

This is going to be a short recap.

1.) Results are live here Results

2.) It was wet and kinda gross in the AM during setup, but we made the best of it. The latest round of concrete work allowed us to have a different finish and a few different routes on course. I think it worked out well.

3.) We had 11 Novice, 7 Pro and 5 Nats drivers. There were 35 drivers in open classes. Awesome turnout with the early morning rain (and our cap).

4.) Thank you everyone for coming out! please share photos and videos on our Facebook. Tag @IowaRegionSCCA.

Iowa Region SCCA AutoX #2 2026 @ Hawkeye Downs

We had 65 people enter and compete during the 2nd points event of 2026 hosted at Hawkeye Downs in Cedar Rapids, IA. The weather was a little questionable before runs started but it turned out to be a great day for AutoX. We did 6 runs for the day split into 4 different heats. We did morning and afternoon runs.

Nats Pax Battle, get it done in 3 runs.

The morning brought stiff competition with all classes but especially with the highly contested Nats Pax class! They had 9 drivers, after 1st runs only Ian had a clean run. 2nd runs were no cleaner only Ian was clean after 2 runs! Nats Pax only gets 3 runs to make it count each event, with everyone dirty except Ian going into run 3 everyone was itching to make it happen. When this happens, do you play it safe? do you go for the hero run? It’s a toss up. Skyler and Max both decided to try for hero runs and both ended up dirty! Mike was next in 5th with a clean run of 53.665 (XA 46.197), Zach’s first dirty run was still fast enough for 4th place with 54.295+1 (DST 46.161). Ian was clean all morning and it locked him into a 3rd place finish with a 55.278 (EST 45.051). Ryan and Keegan cleaned up their first two runs and were able to lock down cone free runs. Ryan with a flyer 51.544 (CAMS 43.657) and Keegan with a nearly unfathomable 49.398 (XB 42.432) sitting in first for Nats Pax!! Great driving everyone!
