Subject: CORSA 2012: Things we need to do #3
> Hi Everybody. here's the third in the "TWNTD" series.
> 1. Let me know who is coming to the Feb 18th meeting in CT. So far, I've
> only heard from Ray B. and John & Ginny. We need a pizza count!
> 2. Need to finalize the schedule. I'm receving pressure from Corsa to
> submit it for publication. I will send out the final draft early next
> week. Please review it and send me comments. Please, please, please do
> not release it to anyone not on the convention task force.
> 3. We need to beat the bushes for tech sessions.So far the only one we
> have is the car detailing as coordianted by the Bay State guys. If you or
> some one in your club could put on a tech session let me know Possible
> topics are head deflashing, brake installtion or carb rebuild.
> 4. The trophy situation needs to be finalized. Our plan right now is as
> follows
> a. Unless other wise noted by specific event; we will use wooden plaques
> as the base for most awards. First place awards will use wooden plaques
> that are larger than those used for 2nd and so n awrds.
> b. Valve Cover Races--we will use powder coated valve covers with stick on
> small plaques. My orginal idea was to also use a dash plaque but Vair
> valve covers have that raised area and our dash plaque which is portrait
> oriented will not fit. The Corvair Ranch is doanting 15 valve
> covers--probably more than we need--and I have a local guy who is donating
> the powder coating. Peter, looks like th evalve covers will need two or
> thtee small stick on plaques. As per CORSA policy all awrds must contain
> the following information: "CORSA International Convention", and the
> location and date. In additon, the valve covers need to indicate that
> they are awrds for the vave cover races and the positon of the entrant;
> i.e. 1st, 2nd or more. (See the below CORSA Trophy Policy for the
> requirements based on number of entries.)
> c. Car Display--A decsion needs to be made soon about our plan. We have
> discussed humorous awards; standard first, second, third awards;and things
> like People's Choice, "The Car I want to Drive to my High School Reunion"
> and other public particaption awards. (Bill Cohen--you and I need to meet
> soon to discuss.) If we use the humorous awards, Bill Cohen is
> responsible with help from Tim Schwartz to get them amde. If we use
> standard 1st, 2nd, etc then Peter is responsible to obtain the awards and
> small stick on plaques. We will attach a dash plaque to all awrds except
> the valve cover ones.
> d. Model Cars-- I would like to come up with a unique type of award for
> the Model Car judging but so far no brain flash. If we can't come up with
> an ideas such as the valve covers then we need to use the standard wooden
> palque. If we end up using the stand ones then the requirements above msut
> be used regarding information. Peter is responsible for the standard ones
> but if we have a great idea about t=unique ones then Tim Schwartz get the
> job.
> e. Concours- The Cocours awards are different. A Gold, Silver and Bronze
> scheme is used. Our requirement is to provide the wooden plaques (sized
> as above) the dash plaques, stick on plaqueswith the information as above
> and a separate plaque indicating the color of awards. this small plaque
> needs to contain the winner's name and score.Peter needs to coordinate
> closely with Ken Shiftner to get the information. Ken has found an
> engraving shop that will do the name, etc stuff immediately as we supply
> it.
> f. Rally--Again we will use the standard wooden plaque system as described
> above. Bob Scheidel is responsible for providing the results to both Ken
> Shiftner and Peter. Ken will get the indivual name plates made at th
> elocal shop. Peter will provide the wooden plaques, dash plaques
> (provided to him) and the small plaque giving the entrant position.
> g. Autocross--Again the standard wooden plaques as above. Also need the
> winners' names and times. Autocross bunch--Ray Z., Ken K. and John E. are
> responsible for getting results to Peter and Ken Shiftner.
> I know this maybe a little confusing. If anyone is unsure of the plan
> call me so we can go over it. We will review this at the Feb 18th
> meeting.
> 4. Cindy Hughes has volunteered to solicit goodies for the registration
> packets and also (I hope) door prizes. She is looking for any and all
> leads. Please contact here through the group list with any inforamtion
> you might have.
> 5. Other news--Stafford Springs is locked up as the site of our
> autocross. Great strides made in getting entertainment for the
> convnetion. A DJ at the clam bake and Kareoke outside the Hospitality
> Room Wednesday evening. Also have a four member folk group for the Ice
> Cream social. I'll being the their demo CD to the meeting if someone will
> volunteer to bring a TV and DVD player.
> 6. New Guy-- Rob Workman of NJACE is now on board as the outdoor vendor
> honcho.
> 7. Games for Friday.--We have a whole bunch of ideas for activities for
> Friday. Locked in are the back seat driver contest, the slow drags and
> the teeter totter. Other potential games are creeper races,fan belt toss
> and cylinder barrel skee ball. We despartely need volunteers to run some
> of these games. We are also in great need of an overall games guy. Don't
> be shy. (John Ryall--you talked to me about go-cart race. I need details
> ASAP.)
> Well, that's it for now. My fingers hurt. How's my spelling?
