Alright, need some info, sounds like a dumb ? but I'm confident anyone on here is willing to help. Need to know what races are available for sst45 and sst60 classes in missouri, arkasas, tennessee, kentucky, illinois, iowa or kansas. basicly states that touch missouri. Thanks in advance everyone appreciate any info.

Your best bet would be to go into the apba site, itll have a map to show what region# your at then look at the events there.

APR has a race scheduled for Nashville that would run SST60 and the OPC nationals are in Kankakee, Illinois. APR also has a race in Peoria, but it is SST-120 only.

You can check the APBA website as already suggested, and it'll give you an idea of the schedule. A lot of the races don't get put up on there right away, so you may want to look at the schedule on the individual series and club websites.

If you want to race SST60 and you want to start in a relaxed environment, I would recommend racing with the Twin City club up around Minneapolis. It's not terribly far from you and they have enough boats now to make it fun. And it's cheap to go do.

If you want to race SST60 and you want to start out with some great competition, then go race the APR SuperLeague series. There's a bit more travel involved, but sometimes that's most of the fun. Plus, they pay tow money and that helps cut some of the expenses.

If you want to race SST45, then I don't know what to tell you. I'm not sure where they are racing these days. I'd guess they have a race or two in Illinois and some in Michigan. I'm sure one of those guys will pop in and clue you in on the SST45 events.

Thanks a lot, never have had any info on 45 or 60 racing, kinda gettin started, would like to get to some races and wach a few and then like to get a boat and start competin in a few years, thanks a lot guys, really appreciate it.

By all means, try to attend some APR races. If you let one of us know that you're going, we can watch out for you and make sure you get signed into the pits and what not. That way you can get a good look at what's going on.

Don't feel bad about asking for help from anyone. It seems that everyone out there cares enough about the sport to help each other out.

What kind of boats do you have? Are they new or proven race winners? Good luck with everything and take in all you can from fellow racers.
