Trophy Race in District 1??????

[T.S.Davis]

Mike, would it be on the pond that the 2006 nats were held? That would not be a good venue for you Ray. Beautiful location and a great pond but rough driving situation. I was standing on a tree root to gain some elevation.

we will be building a drivers stand for the event

Generators, canopies, bbq grills, lakeside parking...any of those a problem? Security at the site overnight for people leaving trailers, canopies, etc...? Porta-crapper? Floating clock for the course? Entry fee?

Generators, canopies, grills, trailers, parking, no problem. There will most likely be no camping. I Have to check with town as to leaving trailers and having security there. Hotels are w/in 5-10 minutes of lakesite. Porta potty is there, there is also plenty of shopping and food close by. We prob will not have a floating clock as we don't have one but i will look in to it, but i will have electronic scoring of some type. I am still in the planning stages but entry fees will be on par with most other trophy type races, will be looking for sponsorships also. I have to have a meeting with my club members, but I allready have the approval of a majority of our members. I have to check our district schedule with Gas and Nitro so we don't have any conflicts, as a lot of our FE racers also race Gas and Nitro. As long as I get a good date that has no conflicts it looks like this race will happen. Prob trophies for 1-3 all classes, a team championship and a HP trophy but I will work all that out w/in the next month or so. Wow just realized that sept is only 6 months away!!!! well looks like interest is pretty good so far I'll keep updating info as I plan more.

[HOTWATER]

Nice...thanks for that info as i'm sure other racers have some of those questions....

Maybe Steven or Jim (Southriverrc) would offer sponsorship or raffle donations...??

[Chilli]

Maybe they will attend...

[HOTWATER]

....and Doug (Rum Runner Hobbies)....

[madmikepags]

Doug and Jim are members of our club a lot lnger than I have been, I believe Doug and his dad started it. I race w Doug all the time. They will be there. I'm friends with Steve too so I'll look into what he might b able to do. But im a bit away from that yet, I need to secure a date and lake site first and foremost and then go from there.

[HOTWATER]

I knew Doug was D. 1 was not sure about Jim....good deal!

....Keep us posted...

Thanks,

I am tentatively looking at sept 13-15th as race dates, let me know what everyone thinks for these dates?

[HOTWATER]

Sounds good...no races in D.12 that month....

[tjcast]

That would prob eliminate us Michigan guys as we have a club race on the 15th.

[T.S.Davis]

and I SO want to make this trip.

[tjcast]

So do I! But the problem is that those of us in Mich that would make this trip are the ones that would be running our club race.
