Okay, Steve does have a point here. It's probably not best to end our summer hiatus with a non-points event.

But, like my first post said... somebody needs to step up and chair September if they want to see a regular event!

I'm perfectly okay with tabling the Gymkhana for a while, it's been on the back burner for 4 years as it is.

Okay, that's cool. I'll need some help with it.

But. :bangwall:

We still need someone to chair September.

I nominate Bill Beers/May Moss/Joe Baker as co-co-co-chairs. I'll co-co-co-co-chair if needed.

Just throwing it out there. I imagine classes start up again around that time, so no one is obligated to accept my nomination.

Oh, enough. I'll chair September. I'll do a right-turning course this time, so everyone can balance out tire wear. :twisted:

Thanks Jamie.

As for the rest of you - Jamie just chaired the last event. This is a great chance for someone to ride his coattails and see how it's done - co-chair , in other words!

So looking forward to SPC in SEPT! Sucked I missed July's event, but I must admit I had more fun than I thought I would up in Iowa. Gotta love family get togethers! Feels like the new rubber is ready to rock, now if I can just drive it right. Seems those slicks I used a handful of times totally ruined my driving!

Steve,

As much as I hate getting up early. I will volunteer to Co-Chair the next event in Brooksville.
Kind of my back yard. One must pay their dues at some point. Time to "have a clue" how to put on a FAST event.

I'll be chairing October at Brooksville. Bill Beers has volunteered to co-chair, but it will be a 2-day autocross weekend, so two co-chairs would be welcome!

I will throw my hat in and co-chair with Jamie if he doesn't already have a co-chair in mind.

Nope, no one in mind. Welcome aboard. We'll start putting serious thought into it in about three weeks.

I will do safety in September and Liz wants to volunteer to do course set up.

Any ideas on an August get together?
