I'm guessing we're passing on this for 2003.

If we do it, it has all gotta be fast.

Any nominations?

Matt Murray

Here's a write up on what happens from '99 and the Evolution
list. Add it where it says Team.net:


I am now accepting Driver to Nationals nominations!  Nominations
will be
open for 2 weeks, at which point I will start collecting votes.

DTN stands for "Driver to Nationals."  A few years back, Matt
Murray
suggested, half jokingly that we all chip in and send Phil Ethier
to Kansas
for the Solo II Nationals.  Phil had been a good doobie for a
long time on
Team.Net and had never been to Nationals.  We collected around
$800, he
went, and drove Roger Johnson's Corvette.

Someone, I think Phil, came up with the idea of making this a
yearly thing.
So next year, we collected mony and sent Mark Bradakis (man, hope
I spelt
it correctly!), and the next year we did it again, send me, Paul
Czarnecki,
and I drove Paul Brown's GS Knife.

Who qualifies?

To be DTN several things should be true:

1) The person must be a long time member of Team.Net and have
been useful
on Team.Net.
2) The person must _never_  have competed in the Solo II
Nationals and will
probably never go.
3) The person should have demonstrated, over the years, a
willingness to
help out their region or regions (or club or whatever) at a local
level.

How do we pick the DTN?  Well, the previous year's DTN handles
it, but t
always done in approximately the same way.  This year I'm opening
nominations now, June 15th, I'll keep them open until July 1.  I
will then
publish the list of nominees, and open the voting.  Voting will
take 2
weeks.  Then I'll publish the winner!

How do I nominate someone?  Feel free to nominate someone on
Team.Net,
extolling their virtues and lack of bad habits.  That gets the
disussions
going.  But if you want it to count (and I'm going to have to be
a real
stickler here, sorry, I just get too much email.)  Nominations
must be made
via email to __________ (that's me) and NOT cc'd to Team.Net.
This way they'll get filtered into my right mailbox.  You should
then copy
the text of you nomination and send it off to Team.Net so that
everyone can
discuss the nominee in excrutiating detail.

How do I vote?  Well, don't until July 1, please.  But you do it
in the
same way.  Email me at _________ and NOT cc'd to Team.Net.
Same reasons apply.  This will make it much easier to track
things.  (I
hope...)
