Hey Everybody,

I volunteered to organize the Saturday drive to Canepa Design. I'll be contacting them next week to set things up. I am thinking drivers meeting about 9:00 AM Saturday, then hit the road at 9:14. There are some interesting roads that can make up a two hour drive, or anyone can set their GPS to the end point at Canepa and get there in about half the time. We should all be at the shop by 11:00 - 11:30.

Highlights; CA-1 N; CA-156 E; Castroville Blvd; Elkhorn Rd; Main St Castroville,; Freedom Blvd.: White Rd.; CA-1 N; Soquel San Jose Rd.; Summit Rd; CA-17 S; and on to Canepa.

Lunch at Cafe Carlos 6016 Scotts Valley Dr, Scotts Valley, CA. Great Mexican food, generous portions, good value, vegetarian options, lots of parking.

A question to the group... Rich Bontempi was attempting to become somewhat of a signature sponsor and wanted his name on stuff... This has not been recently done. Do we want to open up sponsor t-shirt names and such? I personally think it is too late and that most of our sponsors don't care.


Rich wanted in back in February.
I'm not a fan of sponsors on T shirts and I think since we have artwork for the shirts already we should leave them as is. (although I have seen event shirt where the sponsors are listed on the back with the design on the front)
Maybe there is a segment of the event Rich could sponsor and get his name out there with. Not sure how we would facilitate it but I would like to help any of our sponsors get there names out there so people know about them.

"Tech Sessions brought to you by HPH"
OR
"Saturday's Prime Rib Dinner sponsored by HPH"

I don't know just thinking out loud.

I'm not a fan of leaving our grassroots approach to sponsors. They donate, we give it away and credit them on the site and in the giveaway... I say decline.

I agree that we're pretty much sponsor-free this year. I think if he wants to be like the other companies/vendors, he can donate parts for the raffle.

If he wants to get noticed, the bigger the donations, the more attention he gets.

When I owned my Datsun Roadster I would go to a meet each year where one of the vendors would donate parts to the raffle and then buy up a majority of the raffle tickets and win his parts back. It was hillarious, but sometimes there were just not that many people buying the raffle tickets and the odds were good.

I contacted Harlen, a VP at Laguna Secca, and he has offered to check into getting us a photo op on the track and has offered tix to ALMS and Ferrarri Days at the track. See his posts under the Garage "who wants to go" topic. Do you want me to follow up on these with him or is someone else handling the raffle/prize thing?

Also does Ken Schipper want to work Laguna Secca into the Saturday drive? Ken will you contact Harlen about the track?

I contacted Harlen after he posted. I told him to contact McMark about donations. If we have to, I might be able to get Sierra-Nevada Region to insure us.

I have been referring people to McMark for donations. I am too remote and he has a business address so UPS and the like charge less for shipping.

I picked up some glassware for trophies.

I got one HUGE stein for a 'best of show' award. And I got six other standard pint glasses for other awards. I got some shot glasses too, but I think I'm going to use those myself. I can get more if we need to.

Let's pick the awards categories and I'll etch them into the design.

One thing I still like is ignoring engine. I dislike the Best 4 & Best 6 categories. But I'd like to hear what ya'll think.

And since I'm thinking about WCR. I'm still not sure what to do about the give-away prizes. We don't really have many that I can think of, and the only confirmed goodie is the wooden shift knob Vacca Rabite sent me. I assume Eric has some calipers. I assume Mark has some rubber. Other than that, I don't know of anything else.

I certainly don't think we have enough for the typical everyone gets something scenario. Thoughts?

Mark said in his payment that he is bringing his typical bag of rubber goodies, other than that I dont know of anything.

Should we start asking?

If you want. Honestly, I'm disenchanted with that stuff. Seems like we give away all these parts and more than half of them are not needed/wanted by the recipient.

Okay, here's what I'll probably end up making for awards.

1. Best of show - This is the big mug.
2. Longest drive
3. Best race style
4. Best original style
5. That guy
6. Fastest 914 (based on Sat AX)
7. ???????

Instead of doing that long drawn out drawing of names, lets take the sponsor swag and include it with each Best of category??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I think a couple should be drawing names for the people who have crappy 914s but not crappy enough for the work in progress award
