[Kcup] Kastner Cup 2013 Events

Thu Mar 28 06:59:48 MDT 2013

Thanks Mike,

Kas understands the courtesy of a driver, but doesn't need it. But I think it would be good to have someone help him to be at the right place at the right time....maybe a schedule sheet or something.

We plan to come in early and secure an area as best we can coming back from the building.

The ROAD AMERICA charges on the 36 stall garage seems quite reasonable, especially with electricity. I suspect this something new and the price will go up rapidly.

OVERCREW: We have a lot of folks coming in on Friday, if not sooner, and ideally we will all be able to gather together. Having them as overcrew makes them part of the group and I was hoping this would be a benefit to VSCDA.   We might discuss this by phone. 

We have a lot of clubs standing by for information....we will want to get it right. Having costs and details on the activities will be good. More later,

Joe,

    I will change it to the 11th year. Having someone to take Kas around is meant to be a courtesy for him. It is easier for most guests, but you guys almost have your own traveling road show. We can work out the details once the weekend gets here.I will send it off to Kas, I think I have his email somewhere. Maybe I should let you negotiate with RA for me! Once you know what you are going to do let me know your plans. Are you planning on all the Triumph people paddocking close to the building?I will have to figure out how to make that happen. A question and answer format is fine. What ever is easier for Kas. We will make the over crew  thing work. Normal over crew was $35 last year with RA getting $40 if you get tickets in advance. Over crew includes the Friday night meal and free beer(limited). RA is increasing my dinner costs this year by 19%. If I can not get them down I may have to increase our over crew admission. The question is if Triumph people are coming as over crew are they going to want the meal or get something from track vendors before the car show starts. I can figure a package cost either way.

 Mike, 

Notes: 

It is the 11th Annual Kastner Cup, not the 10th.....minor point. 

Kas & Peg would prefer to pilot their own GOLF CAR, but I still think it is a good idea to have someone on hand to direct them where they need be. 

Kas will likely start with Q & A format, at the dinner, and then he gets into it with out getting lengthy. 

I am negotiating with R.A. on the use of the LESTER building. Unless you see a pitfall with that, it is looking pretty good. They have agreed to install 110 outlets, which makes this a tipping point. 

I'd like for us to find an easy way to deal with OVERCREW, without drawing attention. I am thinking like a VSCDA member here. 

I'll try to take care of the overseas guys in some manner, as a courtesy and recognition of their efforts. May be you could supply Saturday Dinner tickets or something. 

At your service.......

Joe, 

   I would like to get the invitation off to Kas to start. Are you good with it. I have put a preliminary proposal together on costs, but I'm thinking I may put together a couple of options.  With respect to drivers from outside of the country, we have had people from England, Germany, Mexico and Austrailia in the past and we have never comped an entry for coming from outside the USA. I'm not sure what you want to use the tent for but I did get some costs for different sizes. Do you have an idea of how big a tent you want?

  Mike, John, 

Can you provide the costs: 

TOURING ON SAT/SUN 
OLD COURSE RE-ENACTMENT 
DINNER ON SATURDAY NIGHT....NON VSCDA 
COST OF OVERCREW.....and what it includes. 

Before I release any information, I will review with you and John. 

I'd like to discuss administration of OVERCREW to maximize VSCDA $$ with minimum exposure. 

I think we are going to have a lot of folks coming in on FRIDAY for the full weekend. 

Regards,

Hi Joe, 

   I attached the email that I am going to send to Kas. I thought I would run it past you first. Any questions let me know. 

Thanks 
Mike

Mike,  here is our KCUP shirt.....it honors the late great MIKE BELFER, longtime TR racer from MEQUON, WI.  His son, Steve did the artwork and should be driving Mike's old TR3. Mike's wife used to sing the NATIONAL ANTHEM at Road America. 

There's a lot of content and substance to our KCUP SERIES. 

the 2013 version of the Kastner Cup shirts is now ready to order. If you go to the FOT website http://fot-racing.com/feature/2013roadam/shirt.htmyou can gaze upon Steve Belfers artistry. The shirts will have the artwork as seen on the web site on the front and we will once again have the competitors names and car info on the backs of the shirts.
