Planning & Preparation Meeting for First Autocross of 20

Post by zoomzoom » Sat Feb 09, 2008 7:41 am

I'm proposing that we have a meeting on Saturday, February 23, as this is one of the few weekend dates where Jonathon is available. The purpose of the meeting will be to plan the 2008 autocrosses, including discussions about how to formally organize the event and staff the various areas of responsibility (see Jim's posting under 'Calling all Drivers').

We could use the conference room at my workplace, as there is plenty of room, along with a large dry erase board that might come in handy. The location is near Scenic and W. Sunshine.

Please post if you would be available on this date, along with a preferred time.

Autocross Planning Meeting on Feb 23

Post by zoomzoom » Sat Feb 09, 2008 2:34 pm

I spoke with JoeHyundai, and we can use the conference room at Springfield Imports (on South Campbell) for our meeting on Saturday the 23rd. The sales staff uses the room over the lunch hour, so Joe suggested that we have the meeting after 1 pm. The lock the doors at 6 pm.

He even suggested the possibility that the dealership might furnish some food and drinks, and then loan us new Porsches for test drives during the afternoon. OK, may the part about the test drives is stretching it a bit.

Chris and Ben are out of town on the 23rd. Jonathon, are you available on Saturday or Sunday, March 1 or 2?

If not, we need to stick with the 23rd. Does anyone besides Jonathon know how to run these events? I'm clueless.

Jim, Matt, Ed, Jim, Scott, and other interested parties, how does the 23rd work for you if Jonathon can't commit to March 1 or 2?

the 1st might be a better idea to. I don't know about the rest of ya but I have a tendency to forget things :s getting shown the computer there will be less sleeping time between then and the race.

I'll be available on the 8th for a second run down if need be.
actualy I'm going to plan on being avalable on the 8th so that if anyone who wants to, I'll be avalable to show the computer to again or answer any questions that might come up.

lets do both the 23rd or the 1st. and the 8th

I can be available for any of those dates. I'm available for most any of these kinds of things. We just need to have someone say,'This is when it is. This is when you will show up." :thumbup:

I'm going to edit the front page to show when we will hold this meeting. Once it is decided I can also send out periodic e-mails to remind people of the upcoming meeting. Hell, if we share phone numbers id even be willing to call everyone on the "phone tree" to remind them to show up. Should I proceed with that?

I make a motion that we plan to meet on March 1st and 8th, per Jonathon's recommendation.

Springfield Imports has generously offered the use of their conference room. I'm proposing a 2:00 pm meeting.

Someone PLEASE second this motion...

I could do 2PM on March 1.

For an out-of-towner, an afternoon would be a good time for me.

I also like 3/1 over 3/8 to give time to extra prepare for the unexpected. Details, equipment failure, etc., etc., etc.

I second. I'll include both dates on the front page. If we decide not to meet the 8th then I will remove it.

Well it'd be nice if it wasn't just Chuck and I. Who else will be able to attend? It's time to step up to the plate!
