Some of today's most talented drivers emerge from the sport of autocross. Takata Time Attack's own James Elterman is a product of the St. Louis Region's SCCA Solo program where he honed his skill before progressing to road course events. To promote the development of future local talent, James has coordinated the sponsorship of the St. Louis Region's Index Championship by Takata. The Takata Index Championship is a season long battle across all Solo racing classes to determine the top driver in the region. A photo contest was recently conducted to promote the championship in which both the car owner and photographer were the recipient of a Takata Time Attack T-Shirt. The winners of the contest were Geoff Sneddon and Greg Havener. In the photo below, Greg is 3 wheeling his Honda CRX while sporting the Takata Index Championship logo in the rear. To view all of the submissions, follow this link to the official St. Louis Region SCCA Forums.

Congratulations Geoff Sneddon and Greg Havener!
With only one event in the St. Louis Region Solo series remaining, there is a tight battle at the top of the Takata Index Championship. The top 5 with one event remaining are below. The point leader after the final event will be the recipient of a Takata Multi Point Harness!
