FOTers

    Last night, Joe circulated a list of tracks and in some cases, specific 
events at tracks that were recommended for consideration FOT 
regional/national gatherings. Steve Benford and Joe Curry will be converting 
the original FOT Survey to a text file and circulating to FOT so it is 
available to those of you without Microsoft excel. Those of you with 
Microsoft Excel can still access both reports at locations setup be Mark.

    The original thought behind this whole effort was to start simple. Select 
one race that FOTers in each geographic region would make a special effort to 
attend during the 2001 season for the simple purpose of gathering and having 
fun. It is really up to the people in that region as to whether they want to 
try to work with event promoter to do anything more (e.g. all Triumph races). 

    From a practical standpoint, I think the selection of the regional 
gatherings is very much a function of someone stepping forward to say they 
will be the "lead" person for a particular race event. If we keep things 
simple, this "lead" persons effort is obtaining race event information, 
distributing race event info to FOT members,  and organizing a spot for FOT 
to gather at the race event. 

    The most feasible events would seem to be those that have historically 
received a good Triumph turnout (e.g. MG-TR Challenge at Button Willow). I 
suggest the simplest approach to move forward is for FOTer to volunteer to be 
"lead" person at specific race events. I suggest that you do that by simply 
sending a message out over fot@auto.team.net. 

    We have no rules here, so if two or more of you want to share 
responsibilities for a certain event, great. Also if someone thinks it is 
feasible to setup an autocross near one of the race events, lets hear from 
you.

    At this point, I assume everyone is aware of our attempts to gather at 
MidOhio in 2002 as a "national". Joe Alexander is the lead person for that 
race event. I have made him aware of the people who have volunteered to help 
setup an autocross at a nearby airport. 

    I have personally reached the limits to which I can spend on this 
particular matter, so the torch needs to be picked up at this point by those 
of you willing to be the lead person at particular events. 

Regards, Cary
