Salem stuff for this weekend. . .
Few odds and ends:
1) Does anyone want to cover the novice walk through?
2) All help setting up the course is welcomed the morning of the event on sunday.
3) Clocks spring an hour ahead on sunday! Don't forget it!!!
4) Last, and most certainly not least, where are we going to do milk and cookies??? I liked the place we went to last time right up the street but if someone's got another suggestion i'm game.
Edit: Pole added for milk and cookies. Other suggestions will be added if needed.

For the Salem event I chaired last November we went to Mac n' Bobs for milk & cookies. Phone is 540-389-5999.
I'm covering waivers for Mick Seal while he does SSS training, but otherwise I'll help where i can.
If you've ordered dash placques I can pick them up if you want - let me know when they'd be ready.

Ray S. is going to doing Safety Steward Training, with 122 preregistered we could probably use some more help at registration. What is going to be the cutoff for this event? Looks like the walk in registration wait list will have to start immediately. Any volunteers?

Yeah, well make that 128 as of this morning. I'm going to cut it off at 130. I'll be there to get you going and help deal with any problems. Steve will need at least two other people to help.MR2 KIX wrote:Ray S. is going to doing Safety Steward Training, with 122 preregistered we could probably use some more help at registration.

Why Cap the registration we have shown that we have no problems handling 4 runs with 125 drivers... Don't forget we have an extra hour of daylight Sunday as well.. Seems like the more entries we have the more possible profit the club can put in the bank!!! There is no reason we can't make the drivers meeting earlier and start running at 10:30!!

I agree we could possibly handle more people if everything goes exactly right, but when is the last time that happened? Walk ups and late registration would be a nightmare if we dont have a definitive limit or time that we stop taking entries (Which should be earlier IMHO). This was evident at the last event, we barely got everyone registered and teched before start time. All I can say is thank goodness for Pre-registration.
No offense to anyone in the club, but we rarely start the first car off at 11:00. Everyone that is helping with the setup in the morning is doing their best to make this happen, but sometimes in trying to accomadate everyone, we get pushed back. I, and many others I suspect, only get to walk the course twice or less because our work assignments are so hurried right up until the start of the event. I imagine the manual entry of late arrivals on the computer is no picnic either. I think we need to leave some room for problems such as lights, timing, course safety, and registration/data entry issues.
If we continue to get 100+ numbers at events, maybe we should look at more help on the front end. Waivers, Tech, Registration, Data Entry and such. Also combine this with earlier cutoff times between registration/tech and drivers meeting. Anyone coming to participate should be more than capable of arriving, signing in, and having their car teched by 10:00. This would leave a little more room for anything that may come up.
All of this is just my opinion and I am sure we could start another thread on this topic.
See ya Sunday

Hey guys,
Some of the local Subaru folks are getting together tonight at Buffalo Wild Wings out at Valley View for wings and to watch the Australian F1 race on the big screens. It'd be great if any of the autocross crew for this weekend would be interested in combining forces for a wing-a-thon starting around 8pm.
I know several of the competitors this weekend (MR2 KIX! Imprezivblue!) will be joining us anyway, but hopefully this will open it up to the rest of the crew.
I'm heading over to the event site now to see if there's anyone around, I'll be sure and mention it to everyone I see... See you guys later, and of course for M&C on Sunday.
