Are we allowed to advertise?

[gtfour77]

Are we allowed to advertise?

Yes, there is an option on the Sanction App. to choose "Advertised Non-Spectator Event" There is a whole section on this in the Rule book and I followed it to a T....and it was approved through the SCCA.

[Mike1357]

Sweet, I'll be at this one!

[MR2Boy]

Do to Work I won't be At the Elkins Event Like I wanted However I'll be there for the Benefit Event for Sure

[lilred]

Awesome flier Marteen!

Pat and I are planning on attending\racing this event ............ finally!

Marteen, is it ok if I make a few copies for Pats shop???

[SeanB]

So whats in store at the benefit event?

A 40-45 second course, I promise it will be the simplest course you'll ever see.

6 timed runs for competition purposes.

A top 8 based on PAX (or 16 depending on entrants) shootout at the end of the event. If PAX times are close enough the shootout will be done by drivers in their own cars, or if there is a large discrepancy there might be a control car that everyone has to run. The top 3 drivers at the end of the shootout will get prizes.

The seeding will be done as follows:

A) 1st vs 8th
B) 2nd vs 7th
C) 3rd vs 6th
D) 4th vs 5th

I) Winner of A) vs Winner of B)
II) Winner of C) vs Winner of D)

Winner of I) vs Winner of II) determines overall winner
Loser of I) vs Loser of II) determines third place

Looks llike RHS Project Graduation '09 Committee will have a few volunteers at the high school during our benefit event. Here is a quote from an email I received today.
"My committee will be selling sausage & bisquits in the morning; a variety of drinks throughout the day; hotdogs, baked goods, chips, etc. all afternoon.
as I mentioned in our phone conversation, I have added your group's info on our proj. grad. website; you can view it at: www.rhsprojectgraduation2009.weebly.com"

So looks like we'll be having breakfast at the school instead of Tudor's... :partay: This is yet another way we can help RHS. Thank you in advance for your support.

[Jason V]

MMMMM Biscuts are yummy.. See everyone there!!

[SeanB]

Who the heck is this John Tavolacci character registered in CSP in a Honda CRX?

[SeanB]

5 days to go... if you haven't registered please do so.

[MR2Boy]

[gtfour77]

Good to hear that Joey, we need new drivers! :f1:

The weather looks to be great so hopefully this will be a great event, please spread the word. If anyone needs flyers just let me know and I can email you a copy or will deliver it personally.

[MR2Boy]

Anybody interested in having a codriver for this event? I'd kinda like to give the Heart of Gold a rest after 4 events in three weekends!

You could always drive everyone's favorite redhead.

[ShortysTRM]

I'm also hoping for a co-drive if someone doesn't mind. I don't expect a response on here so that everyone else bums a drive...

I'd love to bring the Grand Am out again, but it has no insurance/inspection at the moment...If I kill the Subaru, I'm screwed. I can't afford to go without or to fix it.

[MR2Boy]

Okay yesterday I was able to Place some of the fliers at several Locations. City Tire and Auto Repair (Both Locations) Southside Auto Care South - Williamson NAPA Auto Parts - S-Williamson And Advanced Auto - S-Williamson These Are placed where they are very easy to see. I Hope it gets some Interest started

Thank you Joey! Your help is appreciated! If anyone else needs any information please let me know. Anyone who is willing to help, please come as early as you can, we will start the course setup at 7:15am Sunday and will need all the help we can get. We will need extra people to help with separating different areas (concessions, grid, spectator areas) with caution tapes and banners (flags on string)... How about this....you'll receive a nice T-Shirt if you show up before 7:45am and help... :f1:

Just a quick reminder again, folks from project graduation 2009 will be serving breakfast (and lunch later) for us so come early and hungry... :partay:

[MR2Boy]

Count Me in I'll be up to Help with Setup

[Crispy]

A 40-45 second course, I promise it will be the simplest course you'll ever see.


I cannot wait for my first SWVRSCCA event! Whats this 45sec easy track about?

[SeanB]

No sea of cones
No guessing games

Course map...

[lmcgrew]

[SeanB]

sorry
totally tasteless..but i could not resist..
LOL

lets be careful out there !!!

[MR2Boy]

Nice Course Setup

[SeanB]

I am working on having a dry erase board to write down times on, will make for a better bench racing environment.

[gtfour77]

Ouch, that is tasteless Mike! :fight:
Are you coming out to play with us this Sunday? We need you to bring another money maker machine!!! :partay:

[gtfour77]

Good idea Sean, we wanted to start using the boards again last time... And thanks for the radios Jon! Anything else we're forgetting? We have flour, marking chalk....CHris M. will be there helping with grid. (we'll have a standing grid btw...no more "creeping lines") We should have enough people for three run groups including time auditor (manually writing times down), two grid people, starter, announcer etc... Cathy brought bunch of post it notes so we'll have another person handing out times. (we'll eventually have a printer for this)..

Anything else? Suggestions? Concerns? Course looks excellent Sean!

Edit1: Also, we'll have plenty of pictures and video from this event, make sure to wash your car and smile heavily when you run! :f1:

Could you possibly suggest to them that there are a few vegeterians in the the club. Stuff to make Cheese sandwiches would be nice and perhaps Cream Cheese and Bagels for morning. I'm sure others would buy these things, too.
I remember when the band boosters @ P'burg had concessions, I felt bad because there was only a couple of things I could buy. I think I remember eventually just giving them some money to make up for the price of a couple of hotdogs or whatever they were having.
Anyway, no need to do anything special just for me. Just throwing it out there as some suggestions/ additions to the menu that don't cost much in materials or to make.:biggrin:

I will mention this to Mysti, didn't realize there was so much meat involved ...heh

What if we aren't running a car and our smiles are covered with full face helmets? Believe me, we'll be smiling, but you won't see it on course. :f1:

I'll paint you a face in photoshop then! :biggrin: Does that mean you're getting the crazy mobile? Or you already have it????

[SeanB]

Each corner should have a designated kart pusher.

Like this, see? Easy... By the way, G-Forces make your teeth yellow and uneven, you kart people should slow down to save your teeth! :partay:

[Jason V]

for some reason Nates kart gets more traction at riverside than the high grip surface at elkins... so less pushers should be needed... of course by saying this I am sure to spin and stall sometime on sunday... BTW now that I am starting to tune the carb and setup on my kart I am having even more fun!! See yall early am sunday... hoping for 3 karts!!

Wow, all the fender cars are being pushed further and further down the FTD line each event seems like... Pretty soon everyone is going to get a kart and we'll be back to normal again....:partay: lol On a more serious note, it's great to see people getting new toys, enjoying them and going faster! Keep it up SWVR! :f1:

Yeah, now you know how the rest of us feel, Marteen (and Robbie and Brad and . . .). :tongue:

[administerturbo]

for the record i didn't stall or spin out on course at riverside in october (the first time i drove it).

i had a combination of problems at elkins. looking forward to sunday. weather looks so nice!

i should be able to do tech or at least most of it.

[lmcgrew]

sean have about 6 foot piece of wall talkers dry eraser board wallcovering. if you have something to put it on like plywood or sheetrock we can have a good erase board.

[SeanB]

Luke... could we lean it up on the side of the trailer?

Btw... I will not be there, work has come up. Gotta work Saturday and possibly Sunday. I don't want to be that guy and have to leave early.

[SentraWV]

So much for my ride!

You're welcome to drive the Porsche, Bro. Didn't offer earlier 'cuz I wasn't 100% sure I'd make it. Looks good now, though.
