Alright, we need to start finalizing plans for the SECCS NORPAC Subaru Car Corral.
TO DO LIST:
(done!) Matt/Debbie - Talk to Subaru about direct assistance w/ car corral, including handouts for patrons (and SCCA ProRally cars!! 
It would rule, but I'm not holding my breath)
(done!) Matt/Scott - Talk to Atlantis about car corral location
(oops, never happened 
) Scott/Art - Finish the Illustrator business card design, send to printers
(done!) Scott/Matt - Setup SECCS checking account, order more stickers
(done!) Scott/Matt - Create T-Shirt design, find someone to make shirts for the people working in the car corral.
??? - We need a truck (art?) to carry all the stuff, and to be used as a "go-fer" vehicle since all the people at the corral will not be able to drive their cars. (This also means, if your car is in the corral, and you plan to be gone between 7 and 5, you will need to make arrangments for another ride, since I'd like to avoid people coming and going w/ the show cars.)
(done!) - We need a folding table, some folding chairs, a LONG heavy-duty extension cord, a TV/VCR <- table will be provided by the Atlantis, chairs too I assume, right Matt?
(done!) Everyone - pre event car detailing meet! 
<- car detailing will be handled on an individual basis, since no one's got a place big enough to detail a bunch of cars if the weather's bad
I need a list of everyone who's bringing a car to the corral, and who's working. Here's the list so far:
Participant List:
Scott - WRX / working
Matt - STi / working
Art - WRX / working?
Tyson- WRX / working
Debbie-WRX
Dean - WRX?
Mike - STi / working
Sean - RS-T / working?
Jesse - STi / working?
Jim - STi
Work Schedule:
Saturday
Setup Crew (6:30am): Scott, Matt, Mike
7-9am: Scott, Matt, Mike
9-11am: Scott, Matt, Mike
11am-1pm: Scott, Matt
1-3pm: Tyson
3-5pm: Tyson
Clean up Crew (5pm): Scott, Matt
Sunday
Setup Crew (7:30am): Scott, Matt
8-10am: Scott, Matt
10-12noon: Scott, Matt
Clean up Crew (12noon): Scott, Matt
I'd really like Mike and Matt to bring the STi's, Sean and his RS-T, JC's RS (if he's in town w/ the car... but I understand that's a long-ass drive from MI), Tyson and Art's black WRXs, Sergio's WRX (and the EVO's welcome too!
) and Ben's Subaru Movie Theater
, and of course Debbie and Dean's D-Stock cars (Dean, that thing's still in DS right?) Something like that would show a great cross-section of Subaru's performance cars, and give us 9 to 11 cars :shock:. And, If you can show up in race trim, even better!
Some other ideas:
We need a table for the corral, with some SECCS info. If we could grab a TV/VCR or something to show a slideshow of SECCS/SCCA pictures and movies that would RULE. Hey Art, what's the status of the video you and Ben were working on? Can that be included in some sort of looping presentation? Debbie, can your slide-show be converted to VHS? Anyone have one of those TV/VCR things?
We should probably have at least 2 people working the corral at all times, for security, and so someone will be there to answer questions about SECCS/SCCA. The primary purpose of this corral is to get people interested in SCCA Solo2, by demonstrating what a great community there is associated with SCCA and the Reno Region in particular, so it'd be cool to have some people working the corral that can talk shop about AutoX or Subarus in general with the people that come by. Also having two people means no one will be left sitting alone outside if no one's checking out the corral.
That being said, we're going to need to plan dates/times for people to work. I'm not sure if we should do te corral all three days or not. I'm thinking Friday may not be worth it, but I don't know the NORPAC schedule of events. Right now I'm thinking we should do all day Saturday, and like a half day on Sunday.
Another idea, should we open this up to non SECCS people? Nate and Scott over at S-Squared have some sick Subarus, and there's the rest of the Sac contingency like Steve (Kostamojen) and Kevin (BAN SUVS) that would be cool guys to have up for the convention. The only problem with inviting out-of-towners is finding room to put them up for the weekend. Plus I wouldn't feel right having them come up to work a convention w/o somehow helping them out on the admission fees, and I don't think Reno SCCA would do it, so it'd have to come out out SECCS's pockets... and our pockets are currently empty
.
Speaking of entry fee reimbursments: Mike, you'll have to join SCCA if you want to get the NORPAC discount... SCCA dues are like $50 and the discount is $50, so if you do the convention, it's like you're getting your SCCA membership for free. Plus if you AutoX next season with us (and you better!
) you'll make your SCCA membership fees back by going to at least 5 events, since there's a $10/event discount for SCCA members.
Finally, we should plan on a pre-convention meet so we can all detail our cars... I know my car needs a claybar and Zaino treatment in a *bad* way! Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can get 'em all cleaned and waxed. Then we'll just dry/quick detail 'em at the convention if it's raining or something.
