IROCC/NRC Speed Weekend 2011 - Carpet Edition - discusion thread

Blake · January 10, 2011, 02:28:57 AM

Some random thoughts before bed:

1) Jody, the race will run again next year; no question about that. Look for a bigger venue, and a shift to Nanaimo next year. The race will be co-hosted again, but it's time to give NRC a chance to sleep in their own beds. Can you make it home next year, or will you have to wait until 2013 or so?

2) HUGE thanks to Tonia Leronowich for taking control of the computer and race announcing for 75% of the races. It was SO nice having all the extra horsepower on the administration side!

3) Equally huge thanks to Mick and MattM for putting together the excellent (and useful) trophies/pit-boards. I have already received Text-messages from some of the Vancouver guys saying how much they liked the idea.

4) Bruce and NRC raised over $800 through the two raffles! That is unbelievable! Thank you Bruce for contributing your XRay, and NRC for contributing the 18R! All proceeds went to Luc and his family!

5) Mick and Don raised another $300 through the sales of the Lucas Survivor Exile dekel sheets! Awesome!

6) Thanks JohnB for organizing the pizza order. After getting up at 5AM on Saturday, I was VERY hungry at noon!

7) Big thanks to Nick Newroth who called more than his fair-share of races.

8 ) On a personal note, big thanks to Thomas who helped me pit three cars! Couldn't have kept them all going without the assistance.

9) 116 total entries, 62 individual racers!

10) Congrats to RobF for putting his car DIRECTLY into the show for both 12th-Scale AND WorldGT! The two biggest classes!

11) Thanks to Neil for volunteering for corner marshalling, table pickup/drop, track repair, and anything else that needed doing.

12) Thanks to Mick for organizing the Tech Committe and keeping Tech running smooth all weekend.

13) Nice pics J-Roc. That was some fancy looking hardware you were shooting with... looked like Gord out there.

I almost forgot!

Big thanks to John Bowker and LA Tanning for donating $200 cash to cover the dekel sheets in every racer's T-Shirt package.

Thanks John!

I missed out. Bigtime. Is there any t-shirts, stickers left over I can buy next weekend? And Mick is it possible to get one of those pitboards? I will be happy to pay you for it.

Ive missed bot speed weekends since joining this club. Nothing is going to stop me from going to the Time Zone race!!

Good day!

I would like to thank Shaye and Cherie for there help in getting the trophies finnished, good job!

Neil.

Good point Neil - I forgot about them too! Shaye helps us out two or three time a year with the trophy "process" and we'd be in trouble without her efforts!
