As Event Chair for this event:

RESULTS for the Feb 16th event will be posted.

BTW lunch was delishious.

Thanks to everyone for their usual happy participation and great help in making this event A SUCCESS.

Wow! What an event. Seems like only yesterday was registration. Thanks to Brian and Doug for all their work. Hope pics are up soon!

[Greg]

I almost didn't make it.

The last two spots went early this morning, the event is full!

For those who didn't get in, two things:

1. If you're not on the Notification Email List, you should be. (and, obviously, you should act on that email quickly... and if you can't accept that there may be the occasional error in that email, DON'T subscribe, just shut the hell up and be among the people who didn't get in ) How to subscribe? Look on the home page of the club website. Plain as day. Been there for a year or more.

2. The only way to get into this event at this point is to Watch The Entry List. When there's a cancel, grab it before someone else does. We don't keep a waiting list, there's just no way to do it with this system.

In some ways, I feel bad that our registration situation has come to this. But, on the other hand, it's better than having 100 people show up at the gate and only being allowed to let 70 in. Or at SPC, to plan for 70-75 people and have 100 show up. Pre-registration is good.

We now return you to Doug's alternate reality.

just shut the hell up

There was no error in the email this time. I will admit I was one of the ones that clicked on the email link and didnt actually read the fact that it said REGISTRATION OPENS TOMORROW.

Registration for the February 16th FAST autocross at Brooksville opens TOMORROW. Our group of "regulars" seems to be continually growing, so be sure to get registered early!

As for the lunch... Doug, can we get a few pizzas with those fantastic cubans on top?

I try to not do the same thing twice in a row (I've never done pizza's before) but future Saturday events when they are open will certainly use that option again. Nothing to stop anyone from grabbing one on the way home or sitting down for a real meal. Always glad when people enjoy the lunch.

Meh, there was a minor error in the message subject. I simply edited the subject of last month's email. Changed "January" to "February", didn't realize until after it was sent that the subject said that registration was "open" when, in fact, it wasn't for another 6-8 hours. But, it still got the point across. People got registered. Or, most people did. Didn't stop a couple people from emailing me about it and Jeremy from politely telling the world about it on the forum. But, as you said, the email itself was clear and correct for those who bothered to read it.

Registration trivia:
5 Guests
65 Drivers
12 Novices
6 First-Timers
16 Timing Work Requests
12 Grid Work Requests
8 Starter Work Requests
8 Setup/Tech Work Requests

If anyone's going to cancel, please let Mario and Ed know. They're on the outside looking in. With sad, puppy dog eyes.

I've lived with Basset Hounds almost my whole life...I see sad, puppy dog eyes every day. No longer has any effect

Just out of curiousity...how many requests to work timing came from novices (usually under the mistaken impression that timing's an easy job because you're sitting down).

[buddy bodean]

Timing is the only job i havent done.

[TheBeak]

Got myself in, thanks for the email! (I really do appreciate this feature)

Also, one of the new guys is a friend of mine - and he is horribly mis-classed. Hopefully there wont be an issue re classing him on event day. (?)

Otherwise I'm thrilled to come out and play with you guys again. It will be my first time at the airport (though I work about 100 yards from the event area). I hope to run a little better than last time. I got around to swapping in my new clutch shortly after the last event I ran (by the events end, I could barely change gears, the clutch wouldn't fully disengage...)

anyway... cars running great (knock on wood) and I cant wait for the event!

I have another friend that would like to run (couldn't get him to answer his phone yesterday....) but he missed the registration. Ill keep an eye on the registration list to see if he cant sneak in a spot...

[Loren]

I can take a look when I get home, but I think almost all of the novices leave work preference blank.

I ran a SCCA Sebring event last weekend with about 50 drivers. Four years ago they had over 75 for a similar event. SCCA is gone from the west coast of Florida. You must be doing something right.

If you tell me who he is and where he should be classed, I can fix it. OR... he can log in and edit his own entry anytime until pre-registration closes.

Either way, it's a little easier to fix before the event than waiting until event day.

I also missed registration as I was out of town till the 16th and I was distracted. So please message Mario or myself if a slot opens up as I believe Greg said he got in.

Pretty much what was bothering me about impotent people getting locked out. Ed you are very Impotent!!

Not to worry. You can have my spot as Chair Whore if your Trailer Whore position gets screwed so the event can actually "occur". Lunch is covered and I hear there might be an event the following day at Brooksville for my "fix":)

OH. I should mention any time you want to take care of LUNCH feel free to volunteer. It is not a WORKER assignment tho'. I volunteered because I got sick of the Papa John's Pizza which gives me heartburn and gas. AND you have to have a great credit rating as you will end up fronting the cash to keep the IRS happy if you get off site inventive to avoid Papa John
