Hello fellow racers and friends. Really quick. Thank you. Thank you for coming out when it’s hot and racing and thank you for everyone who helped make the tough decision. Thank you for speaking up when you knew things were too hot and weren’t getting cooler. For everyone who said something there were 5 who didn’t. I feel we made the right call.
On a cooler note, results are live on our results tab and here.
Little Longer, oh my goodness it was hot. Me, being me I wore my normal autox outfit which apparently was too much clothing. Although I’ve had worse.

Guess what? I forgot to do an event #4 recap on here, but we did film one on Trackless Racing Club’s youtube. I believe it’s ready for upload… once it’s done I’ll put it here. Until then.
Results from event #4 can be found on the results page here
The event went smooth and the course was similar to our earlier Hawkeye Tech event with some slight tweaks, it’s a super fun layout and the event runs nice and smooth. We’re hinting at doing something different for the next Hawkeye Tech event. I’ll make a post about it soon.
Notable battles.
XB – 9 drivers. Bill taking first place in the Penguin Garage GR Corolla with a flying 30.851. 2nd Place was Mike in the Turbo Miata with a 32.312. 3rd and final trophy spot in class was Brett in the BRZ tS with a 32.509.

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.
Here’s a recap video.
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.
Results are live here – Results
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!
Iowa Region SCCA Event 1 2026 Hawkeye Tech
The Battle of the wind and cold
First off it was freezing this past weekend. Literally, there was frost on the ground when I left my house to drive to Hawkeye Tech. It didn’t warm up much till we finished the trophy presentation after the event was over.
During the morning runs things happened and I’ll update this with more info.
During heat 2 of the morning sessions more things happened. It was a little warmer but not alot.
3rd and 4th heat we had competition, more on that later.
Final after clean up and everything we distributed the year end (2025) trophies. They are awesome!
10 Events for Iowa Region SCCA AutoX
Complete Schedule found here
Iowa Region SCCA descended onto Hawkeye Tech for two days of autox action. Day 1 on Saturday was a test n tune. We had about 20 drivers who completed 400 runs all together. We started driving at 11am and finished at 4pm. The course had some fun technical elements but was fast, good mix of both.
Test N Tune and Points events run two different courses for each day, sometimes we just reverse the course for day 2 but this time we completely revamped the course for the points event on Sunday.
With 39 drivers check in for the points event we got 7 runs before everyone decided it was too darn hot to continue. haha.
The battle for Top Pax was spicy as always. Andrew in the Tesla, Emery in the Civic, Keegan in the Lotus and Jeremy in the DMod were trading spots all day, with the warming afternoon conditions we were curious if the temps were going to slow people down but most people picked up time.
Top Pax battle ended up with the Tesla in 4th with a 27.112, The civic in 3rd with a 26.976, The Lotus in 2nd with a 26.954, and first place on their last run Jeremy in Dmod with a 26.855!
Next event is Sunday August 17th at Hawkeye Downs. Will you be ready?
