Good afternoon,

I wanted to give you all a bit of an update.

I've learned a lot about course design in the past few weeks and I hope you
will like what I've put together.  There is a lot of work that goes into
these events, and the good news is that if this is well received I am in a
great spot to know how to do it again in the future with a lot less initial
effort.  It promises to be fun for spectators as well since the site has
some fine viewing / photo op locations.

There are a few things we need for our setup and I hope someone can step up
with the items we need.  There are also a few nice to have's listed
afterward.

First off, most of our drivers indicated they don't have a helmet and want
to borrow one.  If you can get your own, please do.  If you have helmets
you can bring, for others, please do.

   - Sawhorses as a moveable barrier--I am bringing 2, I need 2 more.

   - Shade awnings, including some weights to hold the legs.  We can't
   stake them to the pavement . . . need at least 1 for timing, and a couple
   others would be nice for participants / spectators.  I have some old brake
   drums / rotors that could be placed around and tied to legs for 1 tent.

   - Orange Safety vests for course workers.  I have 1, need 3 or 4.
   - A folding table and a few folding or camp chairs for registration (I'm
   bringing mine for timing.)
   - Anyone have a roll of caution tape or similar?
   - Several large fire extinguishers (just in case, need for insurance
   reasons)
   - Spill cleanup material (not that your Corvair is going to leak, but
   again just in case)
   - Easel to hold a whiteboard that serves as scoreboard.
   - Blue painter's masking tape and/ or white shoe polish for numbers
   - Trash barrel and bags.

There are a few optional things that would be nice, since it is an early
morning start to potentially a hot outdoor morning:

   - Couple boxes of donuts or other goodies
   - Coffee in thermos containers (no power available, so no coffee pots.
   - Cups, creamer, sugar
   - Table to put it all on
   - Large (full) drinking water jugs, stack of cups.
   - Sunscreen
   - Box of tissues

Please write me back ASAP if you can provide any of the above.  Watch for
other messages as we bring the preparations to a close this week.

Thanks,
Rob
