Laguna is next... details
Registration for the March 7-8 event with HMSA is open, you can use the link here to register. Note that you can just put a car number in the member number box, just anything will be fine.
We will be sharing more as the event draws closer, but for now, put the following on your list. The awards party and dinner will be held Saturday evening, starting at 6pm sharp at Revival Road, about 5 min drive from the track. Thanks to Martin Lauber, Revival Road and series supporters.
Friday night, there is the traditional, informal get together at Abalonetti's on Fisherman's wharf. The management asks that you pair up (2's or 4's) to keep the bill from being crazy difficult to figure out. We will book a reservation for about 40 or so, they can handle more if needed.
If you are bringing kids down, let us know if you want babysitting help. We can arrange for a couple of cool teenagers to wrangle little hikes adventures and entertainment if you need a break.
Masters, register if you are 60 or over on or before Friday, let us know and I will register you with Jim Cody our scorekeeper.
Given how big and intense/expensive last year was, we expect this year to be a bit more moderate in terms of attendance. That said, we still expect around 30 cars, so bring your best pack racing self to the event!
2020 Awards, cash and more
The end of season awards list is getting a little longer, and as usual there will be Historic, Club, Masters, Series MVP, Rookie of the Year, Best Formula Ford and Most Improved car awards. There will be an additional driving award to be announced at Laguna.
The other big news, and more details to follow.. is the Ironman/Ironwoman Award. One of our drivers is sponsoring a $1000 cash prize to the driver(s) that complete the most laps throughout the season. So this rewards grit, consistency, great car prep, and super clean driving and it will take running every event, no DNFs and running every available session. More on this soon.
Cheaper Tires
Roger Kraus has negotiated a small price drop on the Avons. So all in, the tires will be about 6% less this year than last, and he will again giving us 3 sets of tires to give away during the season. So in a world where everything gets more expensive, this is a small but nice bit of good news.
T-Shirts
Several of you did not get the large or extra large T-shirt at the Charity Challenge. It has been a nightmare re-ordering, long story, but I hope to have your shirts at Laguna.
And finally... modern Fords and Swifts
Reminder to all of you who have a modern Formula Ford/Swift. You can run them on treaded tires at the Thunderhill CSRG event in May and the Sonoma SCCA event in June. There will be a special Modern Fords award at each of those events if we get over 5 cars... any questions, let us know.
