Sounds good. I think the position of Event Chair is open for Oct. If you'll take Chair, I'll be your co-Chair.

edit - Never mind. I'm an idiot. It's Nov. that doesn't have a chair yet. I'm not quite ready to chair anything, but wouldn't mind helping out a little more in the next few events. Someone tag me as needed.

Who's chairing this event? Only 4 short weeks away. 8)

[meicalnissyen]

Well, as far as this particular course, you'll have to give me a week or so and I'll get it posted up. In general, I'd just poke around the forums and look at some of the old course maps for an idea.

[WAFlowers]

Go to http://www.wedrivefast.com and check out the tips under "Novice Tips". Of course, that is a misnomer because there are also some advanced driver tips there as well.

After you read that come back here with specific questions and we'll be glad to help.

When you get to the event let people know that you are a relative novice and are looking for advice and suggestions. Unless you happen to bump into another novice you are almost guarenteed (in this club) to find someone who is more than willing to walk you through the course giving you pointers on how to drive it and what to look for (and look out for).

You'll also probably be pointed towards some of the more experienced drivers who act as our club instructors. You can arrange for them to do a ride-along to help guide you through the course and give you pointers on how to improve your driving.

Also try and find a driver or two who look like they know what they are doing. Ask if you can do a ride-along with them. I don't think I've ever heard of someone saying "No". It is an excellent way to get a feel for the course before you run. I've had events where every one of my runs has had a ride-along with people seeming to line up to be passengers. I don't mind and, despite the apparent weight penalty, they have sometimes been my best times.

Welcome to the club!

So here's a quickie note on a couple of the problems I ran into doing this for the first time a few months ago.

-I will be sure the course map is ready and approved well before the event, and that the course is not as tight (it was tooooo tight before)

-Once it is approved, no major changes will be made the day of, last time everyone thought they needed to make their own additions and we ran late. If you want to design a course sign up to chair, if you have input... let me know now... I'm receptive

-We must have people on set up and tear down, and they must show up. It is also helpful if people who aren't signed up to do those jobs pitch in a little, especially at the end of a long hot day. Last time, no one who signed up to set up did it... and everyone tried to run off at the end of the day and skip out on tear down (only one person actually signed up for it and made an effort) Please realize how important this is to your experience and lend a hand, it will make your day better in the long run

Ok... no more preaching... sorry about that. I just want as smooth a day as is possible for us

So... who wants to do what?

The Flowers would be available for trailer transport, however I think it is already covered by the same person who took care of it for September.

Call us your backup I guess.

[Solar]

There's a big dumpster on site that we've used in the passed and as far as I know it's okay to use, so garbage isn't a issue.

I'll do registation.

From what I understand is that Scott was going to keep the trailer at his place and tow it to SPC, and someone else would have to tow it back to Howards. I think Scott ended up taking the trailer back to Howards because he wasn't sure what hurricane Ike would do and didn't want to leave it outside.

So if I'm correct on this, we need someone to tow the trailer, and if I'm wrong, we at least need someone to tow it back to Howards.

Put me down for the other registration spot.

Scott said he would tow the trailer back to Howard's. If the Flowers are available to tow, that would probably be easiest for this event, as they live most conveniently to the trailer - I'd take Bill up on his offer.
