WSCB - What, Friday alternative suggestions?

[lamaluv]

I think that having options for people to participate in is a great idea. I also think that the key to success for the Bash remains the KISS principle. A list of optional activities for those not wanting to participating in track day or the car show could be provided in the registration packets. Each activity would have a different individual that coordinates the event (Duane already has a very full plate). Also keep in mind that some individuals are already doing side trips on thier own and maybe the "extra" activities don't need to be organized. I know that doing track day, the cruise and the car show kept me very busy. I have done all three Bashes and maybe by next year I'll want to try something new.

Hi folks,

What ever you'all decide, we should put equal WSCB energy into it, just like the other core events. Not everyone wants to do the track-thing and I can dig that. What would be great is to find someone who wants to take charge of this area, plan it with us, and run it. We are building a very strong core team and what will make this event run smooth and efficient is delegating to those who commit their time and truly want to be involved. I think the basic vision Duane has is to make the event better rather than bigger.

However, it would be nice to encourage the option of a Track Day Lunch/BBQ where track day participants and non participants (all wscb participants) have lunch together at the track. This could be part of Friday's alternative program. For example, it would be GREAT to see all WSCB folks in the group shot on the track, like we did this year. Lunch was way too slow again this year and I apologize. I thought the food was great but will make changes for next year. We were having some problems getting the corner workers out first thing which put us behind schedule but we worked it out as best we could. I wanted lunch to be staggered in 20 minute intervals as you came in from your sessions but it didn't work out. Next time it will.

So, there one idea: have all WSCB non-track day members come out for lunch, group pictures, and possibly a few parade laps. I mean after all, these are cobras were driving here and it would be cool to see 200 of them lined up on the track!

I think Morgan's mini seminar idea is great but needs to be Thursday night only and before track. I’d like to see track day activities stay within Thursday & Friday and keep the overall WSBC theme balanced ie, track – social – drive – car show. Morgan, you and I can work on this together and I think it's a great idea. Folks that sign up for the seminar will need to have all tech & reg stuff done ahead of time. Also, Morgan and I will make sure tech inspection runs more smoothly and quickly next year. Sorry again, but I was really short handed Thursday due to the AAA / Nugget event. We couldn't get in to the corral until noon Thursday. Morgan, you were a huge help to me and looking forward to having you on the team!

I agree with Duane that Track Day has become an important and popular component overall and I would love to see everyone out there on Friday for a WSCB-Track Day-Lunch-Celebration-BBQ Ho'Down!!

Good times and talk soon,

John

Ps, Duane, I’d like to call Ericka about next years track lunch and get her involved.

Hey Pete,

Absolutely! This was suppose to happen but didn't. I need Gary B. in the trailer with a good PA system and marking board for morning groups. Also instructor/student groups at the picnic tables with track maps discussing technique, etc. between run sessions.

It was good chatting with you and Brian at breakfast.

Talk soon, John

Ps, did I ever tell you the story about when my friend drove my car??

How about some real entertainment for Friday evening. I mean we see the car stuff all weekend long, why not bring in an entertainer like a comedian. I think in Reno it should not hard to find any kind. And my car was dirty after the drive.....................bikini car wash!
Any questions?
