Erik: good to hear Mid-Ohio called back. The guy I have been trying to reach is Bill (not Bob) Khan. His number is 419 884-4000 ex 3034. I don't want to pester them with multiple calls, so unless you tell me otherwise I will let you call him back. You can reach me in my office today at 978 921-2929. Thanks, William Harris (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

guys, brad has been kind of unobtainium since he moved to San Diego last monday ...
i'll try to get him on the phone today and see where he's at with the "magazine support" ... if that doesn't pan out, we'll have to bootstrap it ourselves! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) Andy |

Erik, Chris and the other Racers: I have calls in to Adam Fisher at Mid Ohio re space in the paddock. I will post here when I know more - just rest assured this is being attended to. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I have good news regarding tents. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
The rental company near my shop will rent to me very cheap. It just means we have to erect them ourselves. I think I can get a 20x20 for $200 for the entire time, and a 20x40 for $400. If I'm wrong it would be double that, but its still way cheaper than what William found from companies local to Mid-Ohio. Additionally the same company has a 20x20 frame style tent with no interior poles that they want to sell for $350. Tents like that sell for a couple grand. One thing we have to check out with the Mid-Ohio people is regarding tent stakes/tie-downs. I'm guessing that no stakes can be driven into the asphalt, so lots of concrete blocks or something else heavy will be in order. |

Current status: William has left several messages with the appropriate person at Mid-Ohio, who has not returned his calls yet. I have access to enough tents (20x40, 20x20) to cover any size group of cars we accumulate. Price is quite reasonable but we have to set them up ourselves. |

Update: after speaking with several people at Mid-Ohio, I finally was passed on to Mary Weiss, who is the person who gives out space on the paved paddock area for the event. We are now "on the list" for space on the upper paddock. This does not confirm that we have the space because there are two issues to be resolved. One: SCCA must first confirm that tech will be set up on the lower paddock area (where it has been for the last two years) and Mid-Ohio must get confirmation from vendors (who set up in the upper paddock area) as to who is actually coming and how much space they need. Mary says she will do everything possible to give us a 40x40 space, but the vendors come first. So, I will not get an "official" confirmation of the space until the end of June. Will let everyone know when I get the final nod. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

I just went back and reread Chris' first post in this thread. He stated that the idea was to get space in the lower paddock. The upper paddock is not paved and is further away from the action. |

There is a lower and upper paved paddock area. After that come the unpaved paddock and overflow areas. The upper paved area is just fine with me. We would be close to all the essential services, and best of all, we would not have to drive on dirt/gravel with our slicks. |

Yes, the upper paddock area we are "on the list" for is paved. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Update 6/22: spoke with Mary Wier today at Mid-Ohio. We are still on the list for the upper paddock, but Mary went ahead and told me that based on the long standing reservations, unless someone drops out, there will be no space for anyone "on the [waiting] list" on the paved paddock. After a quick phone call to Racer Chris, I accepted her offer to reserve immediately a 40x40 space on the grass. So, the 914club has a 40x40 space definitely reserved on the grass, and if space opens up on the pavement, we can move there. So, now the questions becomes: what will be club be doing to promote/use this space. ALL RACERS GOING TO MID-OHIO should contact me with their name and class so that the track folks will know to park you in the 914club paddock. Talk to you all soon.

Good job, guys!!! This coming together nicely.
I can't say for sure I'll be racing, but I'm sure trying to. As you know we have to finish in the top 10 in our region to qualify. I'm currently in 10th place (not including last weekend's points) and I have 2 more races to go. So, if I'm racing, I'll be in E-production, but I haven't signed up yet. |
