Go get 'em!

[Alizarin]

I'll be in Atlanta that weekend for the robotics nationals

That said, Howard has the timing equipment. I will get with Charles to get him the laptop (hopefully both of them) should somebody want to use the timing software while there.

[kickslop]

Nothing to talk up until we have registration open.

EDIT: Looks like someone opened it!

I'll be there, and since I live about 10 minutes away I can help out a lot earlier in the morning compared to a Brooksville event. I'm still a little green when it comes to how things run, so don't anyone hesitate to tell me what needs to be done. I guess I'm a #2 personality that can be quickly changed to a #3.

[Dave-ROR]

registered awhile ago, but may be at Sebring instead, not sure yet. Registered just in case.

It was posted on S2Ki awhile ago as well :thumbup:

Hopefully I'll make it, and if so, I'll help in the morning, etc.

[Jamie]

I ask that just as some people did for last week's event, if you know you won't make it -- even if the night before -- either delete your entry or send a note to wedrivefaster@yahoo.com.

[Native]

posted to eastsiders and floridagerman, too.

[Dave-ROR]

OK Sebring plans cancelled, I'll be there.

I can make it at 7 to help setup and all that fun stuff

[Jamie]

Unfortunately, it's looking like I won't...we have a training weekend forecast for the 14th and 15th. I'm waiting until next week to pull my entry, but chances of a change are slim.

[Native]

Work is noble, but...bummer.

[kickslop]

We've yet to hear from Dan that he's even remembering he's the chair for this...

~19 days away

Dan?

Dan?

You act like that's a problem?

[Native]

I checked with Dan a week or so ago, and he was aware and still planning to chair.

He takes a bit of a laid-back approach to things, if you didn't already figure it out.

I'll send him an email and let him know people are asking about him

[d_rasp]

Huh? Whut? Somebody say my name? I'm here. . .

Here's what I need: a Co-Chair.

I'm still going back 'n' forth on if I want a fresh design, or pick something proven from 2 or 3 years back. Anybody know how we're doing on soda/chalk? I know we need batteries for the radios, unless someone else already took care of that @ the last event.

My Mom & Dad are coming down for this event from IN. My Dad is a motorsports nut, but has never participated in anything. This will be a first event for both of 'em. I'm pumped. I'm really hoping to find a co-chair who can let me play host to them & do ride-alongs, etc. If there are any veterans out there who haven't chaired, or co-chaired in a while, this would be a great time to jump in. I'll have everything planned out, just need a hand with the execution!

Also, shout out if you want dibs on one of the "special" work positions.

What does a co-chair do exactly?

[Dave-ROR]

I'll do course setup, or tech if you need that more.

[d_rasp]

What does a co-chair do exactly?

The co-chair is the chairperson's wingman. Lots of times, they'll be in charge of getting supplies before the event, going to get lunch, etc. It also helps a person learn the ropes, or feel more comfortable jumping into chairing a first event.

For this event, I'm hoping someone can help me keep the day moving smoothly so I don't have to ignore muh folks.

Thanks Dave.
