Some news about Sunday's event and the SCCA Membership/Meet the Candidates meeting...
- The Soccer kids will be there cooking up brats and dogs again. They're set to arrive around 10:00.
- The course was supposed to be pretty close to the Nationals West course, but I think Piper has some other tricks up his sleeve. With our new wireless timing lights there are less restrictions on trailer placement, so he may be trying something completely different.
- The annual SCCA 'meet the candidates' meeting is being held tonight at BoneDaddy's in Grapevine. It's a great chance to eat some good BBQ, meet the folks who are running for the SCCA 'Big Board', and take in the -ahem- sights. Phil Adams is running for the Big Board this year, hopefully joining me and doubling the solo representation if he wins. For those of you that don't know - the Big Board is the BOD for TX Region, and covers everything from Road Race to Rally, and of course Solo. It's a different group than the Solo BOD. There's a new candidate for RE (Tim Evans) as Ralph Siebert will be stepping down, and a few other familiar faces that will be running this year. Festivities begin at 6:30pm. BD's is on the West side of William D Tate just south of 114.
- While I'm on the subject of elections and such, it's now official that the SCCA is requiring membership for participation in any SCCA Solo event for 2008. Before anyone panics, rest assured that I'm working on a plan that will make this as painless and seemless as possible. There will be temporary memberships available, but I'd really like to create an incentive to join that's hard to pass up. Stay tuned for more details as they evolve.
