[Fot] To cap this off

FOT

We have a website.

FOT-racing.com.

It is sponsored by Mordy Dunst and Maintained by Henry Frye.

I believe it is up to date.

Additionally, Bobby the Pawn Star is CVAR event chair with Bob Kramer taking
care of us as FOT Chair. This is going to be an outstanding event with many
interesting people in attendance.

Barry Munson is making the long tow from Canada.
So is Dave Hogye, from the San Francisco area.  That will be a treat to see
his TR3!

There will also be some of the who's who in racing as guests, in addition to
several of the Brits.

We will be nicely ensconced in the Eagle Canyon garages....something that was
quite magical at Road America.

I believe Ed Barnard will be doing an open house, as well.

Entry fees will be modest and track time will abound.

CVAR is also a great host.

It's really about the People, as it has always been.

list, but people forget - "Now what was the host hotel for the xxx race".
When Kramer and I arranged Hallett in 2006, I did the website and local stuff,
while he interfaced with CVAR. Organizing did not require a major effort for
either of us.

Morgan 3-wheeler gathering at last year's Put-in-Bay races and it was a lot
easier to just tell everyone up front to go to the website for registration
forms, hotel information, maps, etc. and that there will be an FAQ which will
be added to as new questions have arisen.  Dress it up with a few pictures and
links to the track, local accommodations and attractions, Google Maps, etc.
You could put an entry list there too and make sure everyone knows that the
website is the bulletin board for event information.  It won't keep people
from contacting you and you will still have to contact some folks about this
and that but I think my website (created by simply adding a few pages to our
existing farm website) cut down our workload a bit.  Make sure the event
organizers include a link to your website in all of their communications about
that race weekend and elicit their feedback on the information you're putting
on the website -- you might find that the track owners or the race club
already has a website with a lot of this information on it.

East which is not the midwest nor the middle west. A National puller by
Kastner's request for this event should be a race chair from the east.

Get a program together and make a pitch. Otherwise the event will (strait from
the horse's mouth) travel west.  Where it is always warm, beautiful,
flowering, paddle board accessible and well... pretty damn nice. Riddled with
engine rooms, hot fab shops, bikini's, speedos, wetsuits and surf boards...
And more than a few fast Triumphs!
