Thread: Equipe Rapide Challenge Cup #6, Guns and Hoses benefit. August 24th Lone Star Park

  1. #1

    Default Equipe Rapide Challenge Cup #6, Guns and Hoses benefit. August 24th Lone Star Park

    Equipe Rapide is proud to partner with Guns and Hoses Foundation of North Texas this year for our annual charity benefit. Guns and Hoses Foundation of North Texas offers assistance to the families of fallen policemen and firemen. http://www.gunsandhosesnorthtx.org.
    This year a team of 4 firemen coached by Steve and Sharon Eberlein and a team of 4 policemen coached by Phil Osborne will square off against each other on the autocross course. The team average time will decide the winner. Last year the competition was very close with the police team edging the fire team by only 0.001 seconds. Equipe Rapide will be donating 100% of the net proceeds to Guns and Hoses. We are also taking donations through PayPal using the button on our webpage. For a fun way to raise a little more cash we are offering cone forgiveness for $5 per cone. Prior to your next run you may pay $5 per cone to buy back any downed cone penalties. Competitors are expected to exhibit good sportsmanship and not intentionally take out certain cones to get an advantage which will result in a DNF. We encourage you to attend this event and bring some $5 bills.

    Let's get a good turnout for the annual charity event! Remember, this is the one event where you can legally buy-back cones when you have an otherwise-great run, since the proceeds all go to the charity, Guns and Hoses.
    This will be the last event at the awesome Lone Star Park site for this season, as it is not available once the horse races resume. Its big and fast, and rumor has it that Mark Wortham is designing the course!

    If I can talk my co-worker into working the convention for me on Saturday, I'll be there.

    I noticed that there aren't any STS cars registered. Is that normal?

    I run in X class at ER. The Eberleins will often register at the site in STS if they attend.

    The event is on Sunday. There will be STS cars, I'm sure. We get a fair number of walk up registrations at ER.

    I know the race is on Sunday but I have 1 year old twins & a wife that I promised a "mommy day off" this weekend since she took them out of town last weekend while I wrenched & raced all weekend. If I work the convention Saturday & race on Sunday, I'll be sleeping on the couch Monday-Friday.

    In! The cyclops S2000 will be rocking some new ultra top secret suspension upgrades. Plus, this time we'll make sure and have enough gas in the tank (the S2000 fuel tank/pump doesn't like left hand sweepers apparently).

    I want to thank you all who have already donated to the Guns and Hoses Foundation using the donate button on our website. If you would like to donate cash to the foundation then we have several options for you. 1. Donate via PayPal using the donate button on our website www.equiperapide.com. 2. Donate cash on site "stuff the boot". 3. Register for the event. Your entry fees will be donated. 4. Participate in cone forgiveness during the event. You can buy back cones for $5 each. Remember to bring plenty of $5 bills with you. 5. Donate your Rapide PAX winnings. Over the last few years our competitors have been gracious enough to donate all the Rapide PAX winnings to the charity. We are hoping for a good turnout at the event and your participation will help us write a big check to The Guns and Hoses Foundation of North Texas.

    Thanks,

    My lazy a&& hasn't done anything and the car is so under-prepped. Now that we got all the excuses out of the way...what class would my car be in?

    Thanks OZMDD. Does ER still do the thing where you can buy extra runs/more seat time or am I tripping?

    Assistance required:
    I'm trying to register by going to event calendar, create a new account and when I put in information on the first page, it wipes out the username (S2K_MoZo) and stays on that page without any errors. Any clue as to why? I've also tried s2kmozo and other usernames.

    Update:
    I tried chrome and internet explorer both. No errors in console either. How can I debug this issue?

    At this event, you can buy back cones. Way back when, you could slap that R on the side of your car for your Rapide PAX runs but they got rid of that last year.

    "Way back when". At one time we did have multiple entries per driver and purchase additional runs. We don't do that any more. Everyone gets the same number of runs now.
