August, 2010 RE Report
First, I would like to thank all of the workers that helped out at the Brumos 250 in July. I still have a “to do” list from that event that includes making sure that next time all of the golf carts are fully charged and operational. Also, being brand new to the RE job, I failed to get refreshments for the Saturday Social. I promise that WILL NOT happen again. And I still have some gas cards to distribute – I couldn’t catch everyone before they left so if I still owe you a gas card please get in touch with me so that I can be sure you get yours.
In mid-July, the annual Southeast Division schedule meeting took place in Atlanta. We were able to resolve our schedule conflict with Florida Region and keep the January Double National at Sebring on the schedule. Sebring will be on the weekend of January 7-9 2011 and Homestead will follow one week later. We plan to co-promote the two January Double Nationals with Florida Region and we’re still looking for a catchy title to call the races – “the Palm Tree Quad Nationals”??? If there is anyone out there with marketing skills that wants to volunteer, we have a job for you – contact me if you’re interested.
We are also working on organizing a Florida Endurance Championship series with Florida Region. The idea is to include our CFR enduros along with Florida Region’s enduros into a single statewide points championship. I would really like to hear from our enduro drivers on this – let me know how interested you are in the concept and pass along any ideas you may have on how to make the series more fun for you.
It’s been a busy two months since I took over the RE position and I’ve sure had to learn a lot in a hurry. In all the turmoil, I may have failed to follow up on an idea or suggestion from one of you. So if I haven’t closed the loop with any one, please don’t hesitate to remind me.
Thanks for all your support.
