Okay, so things are getting back to normal around here and I finally have the time to push forward with the Shindig full steam. Sorry for the neglect over the recent months (building a house is a hectic experience for sure). So here's where we stand:
Date - November 5-7th, 2010
Location - Savannah, GA
Hotel - I will have options for us available soon, but we should be able to get a group rate around $60 per night or so. Location will likely be right off of I-95 just an exit or two away from I-16, so really accessible from the Interstates.
Racing - AutoX is a definite go and we're going to work in conjunction with the local Solo club, utilizing their experience, course design, and equipment. Should be a great time. Drag Racing is gonna happen, but I'm waiting on some rates from the track as to whether or not a half day rental is feasible. If not, we'll just crash a normal test-n-tune night. One downside, the drag strip is a good 45 min drive from the hotel. Working to try and remedy that via alt locations.
Food - Pope is handling this, but I do know that we'll have a low country boil (link) and possibly some BBQ. This will be a "registration-inclusive" meal taking place on Saturday (lunch) most likely. We're trying to avoid catering to reduce cost.
Raffle - We're starting the process of getting some sponsors, but with tough economic times, we're not expecting a miracle. We will have a raffle/giveaway, but the magnitude is still in question. We'd like to have one the size of Nats, but we'll see. More info to come on this, and if you have something you'd like to donate or if you'd like to be a sponsor, contact me or Adam (syO237).
Schedule - Pretty straightforward and similar to Nats. Will have something concrete in the coming months.
Pre-Registration - We were trying to hold off until all costs came in, but we hope to have pre-reg open by July. Crossing fingers.
Trophies - Need someone to grab this and run with it. I dropped the ball on the 2008 trophies and don't want to do that again (BTW, I'll have those at the event to give to the respective winners from.....um.....2 years ago
). We have all the awards classes figured out, just need someone to help organize the production of the actual trophies (homemade or contracted), get costs, and handle their delivery to the event. Anyone? Bueller?
T-Shirts - Pretty sure Tim is gonna take the reins on this in both design and production. Will get with him on final design and cost (so as to better figure the reg cost).
More to come soon.....questions thus far?
