Event Details:

Hi CFRA team mates!

For you veterans of CFRA SpeedRing events, THIS IS A NEW EVENT FORMAT!!!  Rick Gaan has arranged for us to run an individual heats competition, as was voted upon by you a while back.  We'll be breaking into at least two groups according to experience, so everyone will have a fairer chance at awards.  We'll also get to run the track backwards part of the time, which equalizes things even more.  I think this format will be a blast!!

Check out the format and agenda description at the bottom of this message for details.

Also, we'll be setting up an after-race pizza dinner right on the SpeedRing premises. 

The price will be:

Karting - $70/person. This will drop to $50 if we can get 40 or more drivers.

Pizza dinner - $10/person. 

PLEASE RSVP TO Joe or Rick TO LET US KNOW:

1. will you attend the karting?

2. will you attend the pizza dinner?

3. if attending dinner, do you have any special dietary requirement? (veggy, etc).

Format

We'd like to try an individual heat-style format this time.  If we get 28 to attend, we'll run 2 groups of 14 drivers - a fast run group and a slower run group.  

The agenda would then be:

  • 3-3:15 - driver check-in
  • 3:30-4 - driver briefing
  • 4-4:15 - Qualifying (14 fastest qualifiers set in Group A, the next 14 in Group B, and so on)
  • 4:15-6pm (if 28 drivers or fewer) � 6:45pm (if we have enough for a Group C)
    • Group A Race - normal direction (20 minutes each race)
    • Group B Race - normal direction
    • Configure track for REVERSE driving
    • Group A Race - REVERSE Direction
    • Group B Race - REVERSE Direction
  • 6 or 6:45pm - Awards (and for once, Andy won't get all the 1st place medals!!!)
  • Pizza and soda dinner in Monte Carlo Room 

  If we get more drivers, we can have 3 groups, and the agenda will be adjusted to accommodate that.
