I know it pretty early and everyone is focused on things at Watkins Glen then Road America but Registration opened today for the final race of the Hoosier Series in St Louis today. It's never too early to check out the track map and begin the prep work. Remember Chuck & I have lots of experience here!!!! LOL

Thanks Butch and Barb,

Lunch sounds great! Unfortunately I can't bring much to the occasion since Delta Airways has their restrictions. However, lets call this the tailgating lunch and I'll bring the Jimmy Buffet music.

See everyone there.

Bill I think we'll definitely have a few more cars especially if the race group situation is resolved.

[csingletary01]

We are moving to Grp 2 and Grp 2 is moving to Grp 4. So bring on more cars

[sracing]

The current points are posted at http://formula-first.org . While the FFDA winner is already determined, there are many point ties and possible position changes that can be decided at Gateway.

Also we have LOTS of "door prizes" to be awarded. (Courtesy of SR). Well over $1000 in some very usable items. You must be present to win.

(and I will be there with Katy for lunch, Butch)

[teamclark]

So with Gateway having a Kart track within the racetrack is it time for the 1st Annual FFDA Crew Challenge....no drivers allowed!!

This could be the chance for some of the hard working crew to show their stuff....

Anyone in?

[rave motorsports]

We are in for two crew! Sounds great Linda is up for it and guys this lady can drive. Can you say side bets?

[Jim Nash]

Now Deanne will be really bummed she can't make the trip. My money is on Traci Clark!

Jim

[rave motorsports]

Let's just do this. The Nuveau Autosport Crew Kart Challenge. We will put up $150.00 purse. $75.00 to win,$50.00 2nd, $25.00 3rd. Robert is our Chief Steward, if Bonow makes it he's the starter!

[dd46637]

My money's on Matt Seim.

[Doug FST 5]

Team RGU will have the normal excess crew. 5 guys plus about 4 family members. Let me know what i should bring.


Doug FST 5

[rightturntiger]

Butch - I'll be there but it is quite likely to be just me. Sadly, I'll have no crew to donate to the karting challenge either.

Matt Gordon

[SamF]

Butch, We will be our normal 3 or 4, We may actually get Rick to join us again.

Ted is ready for the Kart Challenge!

[teamclark]

So it sounds like we have some takers - Thanks Bill for the generous sponsorship!!

As a rough plan we would do this Saturday afternoon, after our race session, now that it looks like we would be Group 2, before the end of racing (ie before the Whiskey comes out at the RGU Pits.....)

So calling all particpants, who do we have stepping up to the challenge - note you can have as many crew members as you want enter - drivers are responsible for their crews kart rental ;-)

Note: Drivers are excluded, if you have entered a race this season then no dice (sorry Bill) - not that we can't have a separate Driver's Challenge.......

The current entry list is
Rave Motorsports - Linda
Rave Motorsports - ??
Team Farmiga - Ted
TeamClark - Tracy

To be confirmed (let us know if your in, so we can book some track time...)
RGU - Matt, Randy, Craig, Jaime, Robert (the sliver fox)?
Campbell Motorsport - Larry?
Win Smith Racing - Win, Jeremy?

Anyone else??

[csingletary01]

Team CASCO Motorsports does not have a crew member that can race in challenge. We will sponsor and up and coming crew member racer. Accepting applicants from another team, Give me your best pitch for a sponsored challenge drive. Join Team CASCO for the Challenge

I am considering.

[rave motorsports]

Our second crew member kart racer will be Dr Kim Cochrane. She is my brothers wife and looking seriously at being an FST driver next season. It might not hurt that she is a neurologist either. It's been said a time or two that a few of us need our heads examined!

[rgu]

I received official word from the registrar that we are now group two.

Very welcome news.

Shane and I went by the old Kart concession at the Glen. Karts are no more which is sad but we can still do them at Gateway!

We once paid the kart kid at the concession $25 to move the governor rod to the highest setting. Maybe this will work in STL. Old age and treachery.......

[Doug FST 5]

I've contacted most of the normal RGU crew and they are all "in". Add to the list:

Robert Guhde
Matt Seim (past karting experience and he weighs 115 lbs. hmm...)
Randy Hensler (didn't actually hear from him but there's no way he'd miss out)
Jamie Allen
Craig Quick

[rightturntiger]

As it turns out, Jaygo Racing will have an entrant in the crew go-karting challenge. My buddy Chris Davis (who helps me out a ton with the car here in KY) is going to be able to make it to the track that weekend so we'll have two for lunch and one for karting.

He is already stated that he will win the challenge for Jaygo Racing, even if it's the only thing we win all year.

Matt Gordon

[csingletary01]

The seat is open to you Jim

[teamclark]

Well this is going to be fun, our list of particpants for the crew challenge is growing.. I'm so excited I am even going to organsie some trophies.....

The current entry list is
Rave Motorsports - Linda
Rave Motorsports - Kim
Team Farmiga - Ted
TeamClark - Tracy
RGU - Randy
RGU - Robert (The Silver Fox)

RGU - Craig
RGU - Jaime
Jaygo - Chris

To be confirmed (let us know if your in...)
SR Racing - Jim Schings
Campbell Motorsport - Larry?
Win Smith Racing - Win, Jeremy?

[Stirling 306]

Hey guys, Team McSherry will be there for lunch at least 4 maybe 6.

I'm still working on an entry for the crew challenge, trying to talk my wife into it, we'll see. What a great idea guys should be a blast to watch!

Thanks for your hospitality Butch!

Phil

[csingletary01]

Butch we will have two for Lunch. Thanks for doing this

[dblevins]

Butch,thanks for the invite,I'll be there with one other.

[butch deer]

What kind of camping amenities are available at Gateway? Any electric hook ups? Dump Station?
Butch

[csingletary01]

On my 3 races this year the only electrical hookups I found were in the garages. They don't have a shower facility at present and I have not seen a dump station. Lots of nice level paved paddock space for Motorhomes and Trailers.

[csingletary01]

Sheila Burkett will represent Team CASCO in the Go-cart Challenge.

Do we have a tenative time for the race?
