I've heard lots of people complain that we have more events on Saturdays than on Sundays... seems like one of those guys ought to step up!

I went ahead and signed up for the March 18 event, I'll just have to rearange my schedule. I personally like it better on Saturdays because if the event runs late, or I have car trouble, I have the time and option to deal with my car on Sunday morning.

I love Saturday events, HPDEs, autocrosses, etc. Gives you a day to relax before going back to work :)

I agree saturday > sunday. Although the doubleheader autox weekends are fun too.

I'm on the serving staff at my church. I'm going to catch hell for missing two Sundays in a row for autoX next month! :evil: (Pun very much intended.)

Just so's all ya'll know, Brooksville has a 2 week advance notice cancellation policy. Which means if we don't have a chair for this event by the end of next week, I'm gonna have to cancel the event. I really, really don't want to do this. :cry: Aside from disappointing the 25 people who have already registerted, a new club cancelling it's third event is not good juju.

It's great that folks have volunteered to fill some of the other positions, but we still need someone to take over the Chair from Muddy...my offer to assist is still good.

Jamie, put me down for cleanup also. I have to stay to pack up the timer so I might as well help pack up the trailer.


Thinking ahead to April, I'll be out of town the weekend we're running. Who will take the timer for that event?

You still need someone to do registration - Billy (and Leo, too) I think, said they are not going to be able to make it.

I think I already said I'm bringing the trailer. Or maybe I'm confused with the novice school. Anyway, consider it said!

I was planning on going, but it turns out we're celebrating Jolene's birthday with the in-laws that weekend, so Bobby & I will probably be a no-show. If anything changes I'll be glad to help out with whatever is left. . .

Dammit, Dan :D

I'm not going either, and I was planning to ask Dan to take the registration box up there.

I'm gonna need to arrange to get the box to someone, somehow... (anyone near St.Pete gonna be at the novice school the week before?)
kickslop - are you going/willing to mind the box?



and by the way, looks like Billy and Leo are going after all, and can do registration.
