THSCC will be back at the Old Sanford Airport for "The Big Easy", 2005
Points Autocross #7. The course will be Big, and it will be Easy. Easy to
find, but not to master. We're planning a few special fun fundraising
events at this event to "celebrate" New Orleans and to benefit the victims
of Hurricane Katrina!

"One thing you should remember to do before coming to New Orleans: forget
everything you know. Or at least most of it. Forget the tips and bits of advice that helped mold you into a responsible and productive member of society. Forget how to behave in public. Forget about not putting things off till tomorrow. Forget restraint and modesty. Forget your sense of direction. And your sense of time. This is New Orleans - those things don't apply here." |

Our title sponsor for this event is member Steve Remchak of Apex Contract

dollar-for-dollar all donations generated at our event up to $1000. Steve

check it out! Or go see him at the event for all your flooring needs.
FUNDRAISER - The "Riverboat Casino"
We will have TWO betting tables at the event:
- The "Five Car Stud" table for betting on the top 5 PAX and top 5 RAW winners, and
- The "Open Bet" table, where anything goes -- if you can find someone to bet on ANYTHING that will be decided on at the event, we'll take your money!
Most of the proceeds will go to charity, but there will be money and prizes to be won! So ladies and gentlemen, place your bets! Members see thsccforums.com for details advance betting.
EVENT INFO
Event Chairs Mike Whitney and Rob Harvey along with event GM Jason Mauldin will be your hosts. We will be using a slightly different pits/grid/start layout to try to create a spectator-friendly event, and a remote finish. You WILL get a sticky note at the finish with your time on it if we have to pay someone to do it out of our own pockets. Yes, results are important to us!
