Gainesville track date April 19, 2003

Engineer Ed · #1 (**permalink**) 01-20-2003, 05:42 AM

OK guys, here we go once again. I put down the deposit last Friday to reserve the track.
April 19, 2003.

The word is out on the Gainesville raceway and spots will fill up quickly.
We are only opening up 20 spots this time with two alternates.
We will have a stand-by list for anyone signing up after the first 20 deposits have been received. If we have anyone cancel the waiting list will apply.
Only if we have someone to fill your position will you have your deposit returned.

Every time we have been to Gainesville, the battle of attrition is lost by at least one driver.
Due to this unfortunate occurrence, we have drivers drop out of the test and tune session.
If this happens, the alternate drivers will have the opportunity to drive their cars in the open position. Depending on the time of day, the alternate driver can refund the other driver a portion of his track cost. We think this will ease the pain of the driver’s misfortune.

Alternate drivers will be responsible for helping us work the track until a position opens.

Remember to send in your check immediately for the April 19th date. We will only reserve your position once your check is received.
Please be sure to inspect your brake system as we will change the track layout for the next event.
The NHRA is concerned with the speeds at which we have been running and we may have to make the track more challenging and add in more chicanes.

Send your $50.00 deposit check to:
(made out to)DSCC
DSCC 3668 Misty Woods Circle, Pace FL 32571

Hotel information:
Ramada Limited: (800) 717-3279

If we still have positions open 3 weeks prior to the event we will open it up to all cars.

Ed
My list has
Ed Kamptner (FFR)
Jim Pomroy (Mustang)
Lori Pomroy (03 Cobra)
Chester Littlefield
Dave Niblett

did Tom Jones pay you or did I forget to write him down? He may have paid cash.

I hope we can run earlier than before so we can get eight hours plus one hour for break/lunch.

Tom gave me the $50.00.

I've gotten $150.00 of the $200 the club owes me.
No problem... there is no rush.

My list now has:

1. Ed Kamptner (FFR)
2. Jim Pomroy (Mustang)
3. Lori Pomroy (03 Cobra)
4. Chester Littlefield-backdraft
5. Dave Niblett-Unique
6. Tom Jones-FFR
7. Ruble Moore-Hunter

That leaves 13 spots before we start the standby list.

I am reserving a spot for Joe Smith as he set up the last event and had to back out up front because of his wife.

Frank,
Hey buddy I hate to be the bearer of bad news but:
We dont open the event up to "non-Cobra's" until three weeks prior to the event.
Cobra owners have the first shot at filling the 20 positions.

Sorry for the un-pleasant news but that is our policy.
If we still have openings 3 weeks out, your boys are first on the list.
Jim Pomroy and Lori have been to every pervious event and were originally Cobra owners. This earned them the exemption clause in the policy.

Again, I'm sorry.

Ed just wants a "grudge" match. He's told me several times that "it's not the car it's the driver". Seems his car was the problem Saturday.

Who else besides me and Ed have been to all of these?

If there is enough interest, we could always organize on for March 1st too.

Please contact me about your travel plans to Gainsville. Maybe we can form a Saffari with all the So. Fla. guys.
Anyhow it's my 1st trip and I don't want to get lost.
