All-


I am a little behind on my emails but have been hard at work ironing out the 
final details for this weekend.  Plus it's always a wonder how work related 
drama and chaos as drawn to race weekends like magnets making it that much more 
challenging to try to play weekend warrior racer.  But I digress...


First off I have had a few people ask me if they can bring anything for the 
hospitality area.  I should have thought of this sooner but I was thinking it 
would be great if anyone that partakes in such libations would bring a sample 
of their favorite local beer so that the selections would be a bit more 
eclectic and representative of our group that just what I am bringing.  As far 
as food, Friday evening Beady Eye Racing will be putting on their wine and 
cheese spread in the FOT paddock.  VSCDA is also providing pizza in the 
Blackhawk pavilion.  Saturday night VSCDA is hosting a dinner at 6:30.  Each 
driver gets a ticket for that dinner but crew/guests needed tickets purchased 
(this was in the event registration).   Tickets can also be purchased at 
registration.


Next - Registration:  Registration opens at 4 p.m. on Thursday.  There are 175 
cars pre-registered for this event so there will be lines.  Please be patient.  
Nobody will be allowed through the gates to enter the paddock before that time. 
 I will have handouts at registration that are specifically for the FOT group 
and will contain information pertinent only to us.


FOT Paddock: When you cross the track and enter the Paddock, the FOT paddock 
will be to the left inside of turn 6A.  There will be signs indicating this.  I 
along with some helpers will have green construction vests on to make us easier 
to spot.  We'll be running around the paddock so grab us if you have questions 
on where or how to park.  Also - my cell number is 847-452-2246.  Call me 
throughout the weekend if you need help.  Paddock spaces are not marked off or 
reserved.  You can set up anywhere in the designated area.  There are limited 
power hookups available.  They are all at the same spot which will be next to 
the hospitality tent so be sure you have long extension cords if you are going 
to try to grab one.


T Shirts:  As was discussed on the list several weeks ago, every driver in the 
Kastner Cup receives an Event T-Shirt from VSCDA as part of the entry which 
features the Kastner Cup artwork.   Drivers - you will get your shirt at 
registration.  All others that were ordered through me I will be picking up and 
will need to separate / distribute.  I will try to have those available by the 
gathering Friday night.


General Schedule:  You will receive final schedules at registration and I will 
have all Triumph - related times posted in the FOT paddock.  In general, here 
is how the weekend will progress:

Thursday:  Registration/Tech open at 4 pm followed by paddock move in


Friday:  Registration / Tech open at 7 am

               All Triumph Practice at 10:05 and 1:00

               Kastner Cup Qualifying at 1:00  - best lap will set starting 
position for the Kastner Cup

               Kastner Cup Group Photo at 4:30 - staged photo on track

               Beady Eye Racing Wine/Cheese 5:00  - Please attend for special 
announcements


Saturday:  am: Qualifying sessions with normal race groups

                    pm:  Sprint races with normal race groups

                15th Annual Kastner Cup at 5:10

                Awards and Celebration in the FOT paddock immediately following 
the Kastner Cup


Sunday:  Sprint races with normal race groups



Camping:  Free and available pretty much anywhere you see grass


Pets:  Ok but must be leashed


Access to Track:  Once you are checked in you have 24 hour access to the 
facility


Finally - thanks!


I want to thank all of you making the trip to Blackhawk Farms.  This is a great 
little track that is perfect for small prod cars.  More importantly it's home 
to a group of us on FOT that cut our teeth at this track and we are all  
excited to share it with you.  I hope all of you have a successful weekend on 
track but just as importantly I hope it's a memorable experience at the track 
as well.  Thanks too to those of you that donated some funds to help bring all 
of this together.  For a club that's not a club we seem to be pretty damn good 
and making things happen.  Thanks finally to Kas and Peggy for supporting a 
group of busted knuckle racers that have rallied around what Kas made happen 
back in an era of racing that I wish I had been around to experience.  Through 
vintage racing and groups like FOT, it seems time travel is possible even if 
it's only for a spell.


Travel Safely Everyone!
