| The April 30th autocross in Sanford, The Second Annual "Never
Give Up" Autocross -- Slalomania II, will continue the
tradition set at last year's successful event. A portion of
the proceeds of this event, including the entry fee, will go
to the V Foundation (http://www.jimmyv.org) to help fight cancer.
Everyone in attendance will get their four runs in as usual
for season points and event trophies will be awarded before
the Main Event. Afterwards, the real fun begins.
We're going to have a bracket race, limited to 32 entries.
The cost of entry into this bracket race is a minimum $25
donation to the V Foundation; we would appreciate that checks
be made out to THSCC so that the we can deliver your donation
on the club's behalf. Unfortunately, please don't pay via
Paypal because they deduct a fee for this that would adversely
affect our donation and would complicate things.
Competitors will be allowed one run to help dial their car
in (in addition to the previous runs driven earlier). After
this, competitors will put their dial in on their car. The
dial in is *real* time, not PAX time by the way. Drivers will
be paired up at check-in in the morning, so you all have the
chance to start the smacktalk early on. If you have a preferred
pairing, let that be known either here on the board or when
you pay.
The rules are simple: Break out and go home. DNF means a
breakout. The closest driver to their dial in stays and moves
up the ladder. We're also not allowing "cheating"
by setting a two minute dial in and letting you park the car
on course with stopwatch in hand either. (If both drivers
in the pair break out, the closest to their dial-in advances.)
It's all about consistency, anyone can win. And the winner
gets both a fancy trophy and the right to talk smack for the
next year, not to mention seven extra runs for twenty-five
bucks. Currently Mike Whitney owns the exclusive bragging
rights.
Afterwards, time permitting, fun runs will proceed as usual.
There will also be a 50/50 raffle to benefit the V Foundation,
tickets will be $5 each, maximum five tickets per person.
These tickets will be sold during registration, see me in
front of the bus. In fairness to everyone, the winner of this
raffle will be announced just before the bracket race if you're
not participating in that and want to head on home.
Lunch will be served on site courtesy of Christine Allen.
Don't forget to bring extra cash and your check books
for donations! See you there!
