I'm wondering if we should have asked for more than 1600sf since we're not going to be on the pavement.

Well, Mary did ask me how many cars and trailers you wanted to park in the area adjacent to the 40x40 tent, so I understand that they expect you to park the cars, car haulers, etc. in the same general area. That's why she wants to know the 914club sponsored racers, so when you come in to the track the grounds crew will direct you to the area of our own little paddock. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Let me know as soon as possible so the names go on the 914club list. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

Sir Andy: Was there a meeting with Victory Lane Magazine? It would be great to have some sponsorship to add some $$$ to the support of our racers. It is quite possible that 6 or 7 914s could be in the running at the nationals. When was the last time anybody saw that many 914s in top level racing? Time has come for everyone who wants to get on board to step up and make this happen. Please give us a status report. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)

Preacher Man: put in a prayer that when Sir Andy returns from his time away, he gives us good news about Victory Lane magazine and they put up some serious $$$. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I was at MO last week and met with Mary Weir, We are #1 for the upper paved paddock, but the space is only 20X40 This I believe is too small. However, We are provided 20x40 for our gear each in the supps. I did see the prime real estate she is discussing for us, it is high on the hill and close to the Bathrooms/showers, pre grid and will not flood. She was very nice.
An updated list of racers that have qualified: EP Madsen, Go Groot GO! FP Foley, Hotchkiss, Burdge, Handley Go Ed Go! GT2 Limbert These people are in. We are still needing this to happen. I am going to contact Pano, Excellence and Grassroots motorsports for a potential story on the Runoffs and the prescence of the 914 club and 914's at MO. This would help up get some more attention. Remember, the pen IS mightier than the sword. We need a solid commitment for: Cook, Bring cooking stuff and be willing to feed hungry racers. We will buy the food. Blogger, Photos, you will need to apply for a press pass from MO, this will need to be done quickly. This person should use the 914 Club.com as it's affiliation. This will get you press both access in the tower and a pass to use their high speed i net access. This is clearly a sweet position as it has access to everywhere, on track for photos, etc. Chris and I will be carrying on board cameras, and I am trying to get a small camera for different viewpoints to be mounted on the car. Support: Umbrella girls for the grid, with 914 club body paint, oh sorry, I was dreaming for a second, and no not you Brad, YUCK! Someone to start a paypal account and handle the money dispersement. This could be really momentous. If you were able to attend Lime Rock Park, You would have seen 2 914's leading the race, 1 FP Winner, and overall 5 914's on the track at the same time. A 914 set the fastest time of the race for this group, and three of us carried 914World.com decals from Seanery. We only have 2 months to get this stuff together. Lets get going.

Another 914 I think is qualified is in Texas, Ray Anderson. I met him at the 2003 Runoffs and I will be contacting him about being a part of the group.
I also know that Mark Hotchkis will not be paddocking with us because his crew is with David Finch. I am sure he will like to be a part of any celebrations we have though. So, by my count, we already have 6 914s who will be under our banner, 2 more hopefuls and ninth 914 at the event racing for a podium in FP. I will couble check with my tent supplier this week. It looks like four 20x20 tents will be appropriate, with enough space around them for up to 8 tow rigs in the paddock. We need to tell Mary Weir the names of all drivers in our entourage. I want my crew guy, Pete to handle hauling the tents in my pickup truck as well as be there for set-up and break down. I'm not sure yet how I will put him up for the nine days though. MId-Ohio allows camping but not in the paddock. Their camping area is on the other side of the back straight. |

Its time to get this program fired up!
By my latest count we should have 7 914s under our banner at the Runoffs. I don't think Ed Givler has enough points to qualify and we have to wait until this weekend to see how Kevin Groot does at Grattan. The rest of us are secure in our points standings. I will also contact David Finch to see if he is interested in paddocking close to us. That would put all 8 914s in one place at Mid-Ohio for the Championships. William, you need to contact me about supplying Mary Weir with driver names and tow rig spaces. Sir Andy, you need to arrange a Paypal donate button. Pastor David, will you be available to cook one evening late in the week (like Thursday, Friday or Saturday)? Everybody else, start counting pennies and mark your calendars. E Prod race is late afternoon Saturday Sept 24. F Prod race is Sept 25 right before lunch. Everyone is welcome to visit during the week if you can't make it for the party or the races. |

Thanks Andy, We're up and running. It looks like the party/barbeque may take place Saturday evening, and for all you spectators who stay overnight to see both the EP and FP races we will have breakfast for you Sunday morning as well! This is starting to sound real good!

Chris,
I can't believe I just saw this thread... I must have my head up my (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) If you still need volunteers to cook or run shine or whatever post it here. I'll be happy to pitch in. I am checking the schedule to see when I can make it over there. Also do we need more dough? As far as getting in...what do we need to do? Do we need tickets? I'm gonna call Doug H and see if he wants to go. |

We can definitely use volunteers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) Anyone who wants to help out can be put on the crew list of one of the competitors. Entry for three crew for each driver is included in their entry fee. Additional crew is $40 for the entire week. General admission, OTOH, is $40 per day if I'm not mistaken. Things volunteers can do include: run errands, get food, observing during on-track sessions, car prep assistance, take pictures, blogging, etc. I have a detailed schedule of all on-track sessions.
