This is at the SCCA National Championship Runoffs being held at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington OH.

We have great entertainment planned for all of you who are able to attend. The E Production race is Saturday afternoon with Kevin Groot and Erik Madsen (Thorshammer) entered in that race.
Plan on staying overnight at the track or a nearby motel so you can attend breakfast the next morning and watch the F Production race right before lunch. I'm entered along with 4 other 914 drivers (non-club members) from across the country. This is gonna be one exciting race!

If you stay all day Sunday you can catch the GT2 race which has the last of our 914 contingent entered, in addition to several other Porsches.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We still need someone to step up and be in charge of food and cooking.
Can anyone nearby provide us with grilles (charcoal or gas)? or do I need to spend some of the Runoffs Tent Fund on grill rental?
Speaking of the Tent Fund, your contribution will help make this work.
Donate to the Runoffs Tent Fund:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're still looking for a "Blog Daddy" who will have the same access as other Media reporters to the race track.
And anyone else who wants to hang out at the track during the week will be put to good use. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
We'll get you through the gate for free if you're working.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are planning to attend the races, post here.
If you can help out please let me know asap.

Chris

I unfortunately cannot commit to being there all week to do the blogging, I just cannot get away from work that much.

I will be happy to lead the effort on dinner Sat night. I can provide a grill (your choice either propane or charcoal) and would be pleased to coordinate the food and cooking.

Sunday is questionable for me though, my schedule may change, which sucks... I really wanted to see you race.

Email me with details and I'll get it going.

That sounds great Todd, I'll email you.
Maybe you can leave the grill through Sunday for us?
I could transport it back to Akron on Monday if necessary.

No Problem, I am still checking on Sunday. It will probably be a last minute decision.

OK people I am in planning mode. I need to know how many people we need to feed Sat and Sun.

Step it up and list your attendees. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I expect to have 4: myself, Mary, Pete and Jared.
Two of my sponsors will be in attendance as well: Jake and Len.
I'd like to get 2 other sponsors to come but the drive is a bit long from CT. Maybe my dad will fly them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Isn't Saturday the "official" Margaritaville thing? Not that I'd go there instead, but we may loose some attendees.

There's some kind of diversion almost every evening at the Runoffs. It's easy to lose one's focus with so much going on.

Sorry Guys I went AWOL from the computer for the long weekend (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Got some good work done on my car though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Go the count so far.

As far as the margarita's go... we can make our own (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

I thought there were more members planning to attend.
I guess they haven't seen this thread yet. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

We need Thorshammer to post a body count for his entourage still.
The other drivers probably won't come here on their own so I'll try to get a count from them by phone.

I'm pretty sure Tom Burdge will have his wife Linda as well as Jake and Len (if they make it) on his crew. He has had one other person with him on occasion.
Steve L. and Les H. usually have only one crew between the two of them. Steve's out of the country right now and I don't have a ph.# for Les, so I can't verify this right now.
I still don't have any contact info for Ray A., but he had 3 guys with him in 2003 at the Runoffs.
Hopefully Mark Hotchkis and David Finch will come to the barbeque. I might even try to talk them into paddocking with us since I heard that Finch isn't competing this year. He'll be there only as crew for Mark.

That makes 13 more.

Guys... below is a copy of a posting I just put up. I am so sorry to do this to everyone. Please let me know if anyone can help.

Chris et all,

I returned this AM from a business trip only to find out my next trip has been moved up. I was supposed to leave next Sunday, which was why I could not commit to breakfast with you all. I now found out that our customer wants us up there Friday morning for a weekend “retreat”. F’in retreat my ASS.

I apologize for my backing out of this. I feel horrible that I am letting everyone down.

If someone else from the area would like to step in and take my place I will still be happy to purchase the food, provide the grill and stove and coolers, and do anything else I can to help prep. I will available Thursday evening to help get everything together.

Whoever can do this PM, email or call my cell at 330-575-0919.

Again racers, I feel terrible about this, I really wanted to be there to cheer everyone on.

Mark,
Is there any way you and your buddies could step up to the cooking responsibilities and take over from Todd if he delivers the food and supplies to the track?
