has anyone else had trouble getting onto the myautoevents site? I haven't been able to get onto that site for a couple weeks now.

Yes, we discussed it earlier in this thread. It comes and goes.

Steve came up with a devious little course for us, here it is:

Is the turnaround random ?

Random?

It is what it is.

going into the turnaround am I first going past the green or orange cone ??

Green first. I guess I should have put an arrow on the map.

Course looks good to me and no one should get lost. Maybe call this one the "hangover"?

Will go well with the Cuban dryfoot sandwiches and cookies. No Jerky is always a good thing:)

Please leave it optional

Steve never intended for it to be optional, and to do so would take away one of the most challenging elements IMO.

The map has been fixed to avoid further confusion.

Nothing to be sorry about. If you hadn't pointed it out and I hadn't fixed it, it would surely have been a problem on event day. Good to go now!

Trash Talk.

When placing our order for 5th food today and enjoying the Daily Special with my wife.

I asked and we can dispose of our event trash next Saturday in their dumpster on the South side of the Masaryktown Cafe on Rt41.

Their regular sitdown meals are totally awesome and so cheap I cannot believe it.
They didn't even charge for a soda and a coffee = yeesh. We are hooked. Too bad they aren't open on Sundays.

Any of you needing supper on the way home should give this place a try.

Working up the Run/Work list for next weekend. (next year?)

Just wanted to point out something for all of you who may be wondering "how come I never get the work assignment that I ask for?"

Here's a count of the most-requested positions:
Starter - 9 Requests (we only need 3)
Grid - 13 Requests (we need a maximum of 6)
Timing - 15 Requests (we need 6)

That's 37 requests for 15 positions. And of those 15 positions, 6 of them have to be filled by folks on the "disabled" list who are physically unable to work course for various reason. (and that number is a bit lower than usual this time) And a few more of them are limited to the most qualified and trained people. That leaves no more than maybe 5-7 of the coveted timing/grid/start positions up for grabs at the typical event.

I know most everybody understands this, I just like to put out a reminder from time to time. It's nothing personal... we just can't give EVERYONE an "easy" work assignment. About 45 of the 65 entrants at this event will have to work the course. Odds are, you'll be one of them.

You will find that there's not alot of competition for the Chair and Co-Chair positions which is one of the easiest jobs of all other than getting up a little earlier. Hint....hint.

And you get PAID $30 to be the Chair / Co-chair!

AND THAT WhatsamattaUall? Thanks for bringing that up ED.

Yep. Event chairs get an event credit.

Are we good here?

Yep. Friday dropoff is fine.

Think it's going to be an S-Drive kinda day Sat. Wish my new tires had made it in. My old ones have way too little tread to drive up to B-ville in the rain.
