We all talked about autocross. I like that or a track day. Here are some ideas to think about:
OPTION 1 We were invited to participate in the 2005 Scottish festival in Columbus. I believe the date is the 2nd Saturday of September. They said we could probably use some of the fairgrounds for autocross. I asked my friend Jim, who some of you met Friday, what he thought of the space. He said it was rough and tight. We also will have no fall colors yet. Plan on SMOG's event to be in August, so we may be stacked on them as well. OPTION 2 I discussed sharing the rental of Putnam Park with Pro Driver's Group the 1st Friday of October next year. They would be willing to share the day with us. The track can supply insurance. After the track day we could move down to Columbus. OPTION 3 Keep it the same weekend as we've been using. We can also get the track possibly the Friday of the event. I need to contact the track this week and discuss price, options, etc... Other things to consider: Sunday-Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum (possible slow lap, maybe) All day Poker Run - really put some miles in what else can you think of? |

I like option 2 & 3. Either one would be nice.

oooh, track time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spank.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
A second option, and quite a bit closer to Columbus, is IRP's road course. I know it is not quite as nice as PPRC, but it might be less expensive, and if something does happen to break, you are on the west side of Indy instead out in the middle of nowhere. I've also heard that there is a facility near Columbus that has frequent AX sessions. I will make inquiries and report back... |

As far as track time goes, we can make the run groups whatever we like, for example:
Group 1: Experienced DE drivers & Racers (need no instruction) Group 2: Done a couple (need some instruction) Group 3: Green as the grass (need full instruction) We would need to provide instruction, both On-Track and Classroom. We may be able to bribe some area instructors with their own run group and no fees, etc... |

QUOTE(seanery @ Nov 1 2004, 04:06 PM) We may be able to bribe some area instructors with their own run group and no fees, etc... There was discussion this past weekend about CIRPCA offering more than 2 DE events in a season. Perhaps we can pair up, and reserve spots for 914Club members. Then we have a ready pool of instructors, and can easily fill up a grid b/c PCA's network will announce this across the country... |

Geoff,
you shoulda hung around, we usually go have dinner after Sunday finishes. We went to Hog Heaven in Plainfield for BBQ. There was/is gonna be more discussion about running a 3rd DE. Jim said it was very tough to get enough instructors that late in the year. Lots of guys were out of tires, etc...and didn't want to buy more that late in the year. I'm pushing for it to happen again. Who knows what will happen. Tentatively, Chris is holding the weekend of the 21st for CIR. |

I'm sorry I missed dinner Sunday, nobody said anything to me about it...
No worries though, I was dead tired and still had a long drive to get home. Maybe there will be more talk of this next weekend. |

Okey Dokey,
We doing another day at Doug's this year? I'll call Whiteland Raceway Park to inquire about their availability if you guys want to pursue that. Their website indicates that they charge $100 a person in groups of 8 if we rent them out ahead of time which includes an indeterminate practice session, 3 qualifying heats and a feature for each group of 8....
Has anyone contacted the hotel we used last year? Any concerns/complaints from last year? Friday - Report in Saturday - Poker Run....maybe ending at Whiteland Raceway Park? - Lunch/awards/ at Whiteland Raceway or at the same park we used last year. (I really liked the park.) - Texas Hold'em tourney that evening. Sunday - Fun Run and good byes |

No complaints from us, that was a great place. I like the idea of the race park, do you think price might be a problem for people? I'm ok with it, but then again I love to race (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)
The park we were at last year was nice, like to see it when its dry (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Does the track have a place for lunch? |

We could probably use the staging area to gather if need be. I imagine they have a big tent or something, but I'll ask tomorrow. Their parking lot seemed to be a decent size as I remember it last time.
Do you think any of our fundraising would be able to supplement the racing? |

Here's a start: Let me know what else needs to be changed.
Registration Form I have it forwarding to Garold, Sean and me for now as that's what I did last year, but I can add anyone else who would like to monitor registrations. |
