Hahaha! True Comedy gold! Nice work ...


As far as the Michelins go, that includes Falken tires, as they are a Michelin product...I'll be on Bridgestones as well, along with Ferrari, Minardi and Jordan ;) .

Would some 'No Michelin' stickers be a popular choice?:P

I've heard run groups won't be set until Wednesday.

As someone who was going to help on clean-up crew, I would say your chances of being out early are slim & none. :( Unless you wanna swap?

edit: n/m, the thing you're helping Kyp with is during the event right?

I am going to walk the course then go home in protest!

Plan to be there all day as run/work groups wil most likley be stagered instead of our normal sequential.

I think some of these would be good...

tysonK 2005-06-20 10:30 PM

I think a great picture would be the Michelin man tripping over an F1 car.

Kevin M 2005-06-21 01:04 AM

How about the Michelin man rolling down a banked turn.

Oh, and I too will be benefitting from the Bridgestone recce of the new course. :D

NevadaSTi 2005-06-23 04:02 PM

No passengers?

MattR 2005-06-23 04:50 PM

Looks like Street tire Runs 2 works 4...ghey.

I don't think so - but that's an interesting question related to novice class. If I can reach the event chair, I'll ask.

You can try my job - get there at 6, to have the course set up by 7am course walking. Work 3 shifts that I am not running. Then stay late Sat. to set up the course for Sunday; get to the Little Waldorf after all the beer has been drunk. dranken. Whatever.

Being chief doesn't mean you have to do all the work, just make sure it gets done...

How about us in T&S... The run groups aren't set for late arrivals, so we can't set heats in the SW until Sat after 8AM. Don't know if we are doing grid, or somebody else is, but the car numbers are not right for some single and 2 driver cars, so needless to say, there will be many last minute changes and additions.

Oh, and I run first, and Scott has never been in charge of a divisional before and then he runs second while I'm still in impound...

I'm not saying we are worse off than you, only sympathizing/sharing your pain.

Fun Fun Fun...

MattR 2005-06-23 09:31 PM

Debbie, what time would you like me to show up in the morning to help set up? Sounds like close to 6 would work...I will have to focus my time on setup, not takedown, as I can;t stay late either day, but just say when and I will be there early.

Pat R. 2005-06-23 09:54 PM

I would say 6:00 or 6:30 is pretty close. It will take more time to set up the course than tear it down so it's better to have the help in the morning vs. the afternoon.

Since the sweeper car has a DVD player it would be a nice touch if someone brought their copy of this year's Monaco F1 race to watch while we're chilling in the AC between picking up audit sheets.:)

dknv 2005-06-23 10:48 PM

Hey guys, I wasn't meaning to complain. Being involved actually gives me energy (until I run out of it ;) ).

Matt - I should have qualified that work outline by saying I know you know what's it's like - you have been an event chairman, and it's that plus more. (Most people don't see what all is behind the scenes, and has to get done even days & weeks before race day.)

Yeah, Dean, I'm sorry but you & Scott are having to do extra work too -- besides what would normally be your assigned work shift. Part of the role of being a T&S chief I guess - but I understand, having to be there early, stay late, deal with the last-minute stress; miss the socials (& beer) can get old fast.

Everyone who pitches in to do more than what's expected: you are soooooooo appreciated.

Kevin M 2005-06-24 01:15 AM

Man, I feel a lot less bad about having to get up at 6 both days to help Pat Housel. :lol: Debbie, if there's anything else I can do to help on saturday, let me know. Sunday I may be forced to skip out early b/c of work. :(

OH Snaps!

MikeSTI 2005-06-24 12:37 PM

do to unexpected events I can't come play this weekend :(

I still want to help out, if possible. I can be out there Sat. morning at 6:00 to help set up or whatever needs to be done. I need to head out by 7:45am to get to the Airport and pick up my wife. I will talk with her and I'm sure I could come back out in the afternoon to watch a little and help with the the tear down.

I know I said I would be out there but life sucks sometimes :lol:

just let me know if I can still help out :) and I'll be there!!

Dean 2005-06-24 12:58 PM

Mike, you could probably still run if you want. Street tire is the second group, and works 4th, so as long as you get registered tonight or tomorrow AM, and can get back from the airport by about 10 or so, you should be OK.

dknv 2005-06-24 08:40 PM

Course setup begins at 6:00am, the course is open for walking from 7-8am, registration & tech are open 7-8am, and there is a driver's meeting scheduled for 8:30am.

Luckily the tanker that was sitting at the end of the course has been hauled away. At least we don't have to re-map the course through there, whew.
