I got the good news over the weekend from Kevin Coulter that Chicago Region will be offering free camping at EWC Rounds #5 and #6 at Road America. Both tents and motorhomes are welcome. There will be a nominal charge for hookups. This is probably the best solution available for the PGA related hotel room problem. I must admit that I'm not much for camping but, hey, this leaves more budget for beers at Siebkens....
I also heard from Rob Holden at FormulaCar magazine. He is very interested in providing coverage of the series so I agreed to send him race results, points standings, and pictures after all four EWC weekends. If you are going to run the series in 2004, e-mail me your plans and a .jpeg of your car. From your input, I'll write a "2004 EWC Preview" article. Maybe Rob can make some use out of my cheesy copy. Deadline for submissions: March 15.
More contingency award announcements to follow soon.
See you at the Grattan test day....only 88 days and counting.
