Sounds like you're rolling along pretty well, Mike.

I would recommend emailing it to El Presidente Steve, Ron, and maybe CC it to Loren.

[chokeasphyxia]

I'll help Ryan with tech again.

Mike, you are rockin' !!

Ron (Rcroft) volunteered to do safety, so send it to him. He'll work you through the revisions.

Since you've gone ahead and got the course started, looks like this is gonna be your event. As I've offered before, I walk you through it (as your co-chair/assistant), at least as much as you feel you want.

If you haven't already, you might wanna take a look at the Event Chair Guide on the website:

A lot of folks have made your job pretty easy already by volunteering for key positions, but check the guide - there's a reasonably comprehensive list of what you'll need to take care of. Any questions, pm or email me.

Did anyone take note of how much soda and water were left?
Brian K. is taking care of our radio shortage. I'll take care of our fire extinguisher shortage.

You mentioned the trailer - make sure you've got confirmation from Bill Flowers (WAFlowers) that he's available to tow...

[Jamie]

IIRC, Rob Edwards still has one he took to recharge...haven't seen him register yet, but you might check w/ him to see if he's coming.

I'll do the work assignments like usual. Plan on us doing registration the same way as last time...just a roster to check payment against. We'll have to keep some blank forms handy for anyone registering at the event, unless Kenny's bringing the laptop early enough to sit at registration and poke in data.

[Native]

I thought Rob did that a long time ago - I'll check with him and make sure.

...and I won't plan on printing reg. sheets this time!

[Alizarin]

I'm close enough to the site that I can show up early to bring the laptop.

Its not like its an hour away or anything

[bama_rebel2000]

i am trying my best to make this a sucessful event however i have never done this before. is there anything ivhave overlooked. please help bama_rebel2000 (mike)

So far so good, Mike, looks like the course will need a bit more work, though.

Trailer: contact WAFlowers via PM or email - he's usually the one who tows it. He knows the routine, all you need to do is confirm with him that he can. It's possible that he'll see these posts and pipe up, but contact him anyway.

Power: SPC has power - no need to fool with the generator. Kenny will take care of batteries for the computer.

Other stuff: check the event chair guide: http://wedrivefast.com/EventChairmanGuide.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It's all in there.

We've got a solid 4 weeks before the event - things are in about as good a shape as they could be. Read the Chair Guide, work on the course, get the trailer towing established, and all is good. Remember, as Event Chair, you only need to organize and delegate....


FWIW, I was on MAE earlier, and registration is already half-full. Gonna be a good crowd! Don't anyone wait too long to sign up...

Just back from vacation and catching up on posts.

AFAIK I'll be available to tow. However I've had a wild and unpredictable series of business trips recently that could start again. If it happens I'll give as much notice as possible.

[bama_rebel2000]

Funny, I thought I sent a blank map, oh well, glad you liked it! Someone make sure it isn't last months!!

haha - Mike, look at the post above your last one, by WAFLowers 8)

how many bottles fo water and drinks do we have on hand.

A good question. If I recall, there was very little left - you probably want to line up someone or two folks to get 10 cases. There was not too much soda left either - will need that , too.

i wil order the pizzas on the 20th of july. steve is there anything i am forgeting.

Ordering ahead is good - check with me before you do to confirm how much, please. As for what else you might be forgetting, um, at this point, I think you are ok. What you might do is go through the posts in this thread, and get a list of who has volunteered for what, check it against the Event Chair guide, and see what's missing...
I took a quick look, and you'll want someone to help Muddy with registration - SPC has some extra forms that have to be filled out, and filled out correctly, and it's too much for one person to do alone. You don't have enough setup help, nor folks committed to staying at the end to help clean up and reset the police course.

Again, it's all good. You're right on top of things...



As an unrelated note, Mark's not coming, and Dave's driving an Integra...hmmm

I'll likely be driving the S, and registered with the S. The integra could use a wheel bearing and a few replacement studs.. they haven't broke yet but they are due.....

Unless I can run a pocket bike

Definitely err on the generous side for water. Plan on 4-6 bags of ice as well.

I'm working on the course -- will have something by week's end.

[Native]

oh yeah, ice...in fact, last month we picked up more ice at lunch - carried us through the rest of the day nicely - it stinks to run out of ice/cold drinks at 2pm.

Dave, thanks for posting on the s2k forum!

[WAFlowers]

No, I refuse to post on this site and you can't make me do it.

Oh, you got me to post, you sneaky person you!

(Yes, I plan to haul the trailer to/from the site.)
