For those new to the lists and the sport. A few rules have
changed, but the spirit carries on.

Subject: Whatza DTN?
DTN stands for "Driver to Nationals." A few years back, Matt
Murray
suggested, half jokingly that we all chip in and send Phil Ethier
to Kansas
for the Solo II Nationals. Phil had been a good doobie for a
long time on
Team.Net and had never been to Nationals. We collected around
$800, he
went, and drove Roger Johnson's Corvette.
Someone, I think Phil, came up with the idea of making this a
yearly thing.
So next year, we collected mony and sent Mark Bradakis (man, hope
I spelt
it correctly!), and the next year we did it again, send me, Paul
Czarnecki,
and I drove Paul Brown's GS Knife.
Who qualifies?
To be DTN several things should be true:
1) The person must be a long time member of Team.Net and have
been useful
on Team.Net.
2) The person must _never_ have competed in the Solo II
Nationals and will
probably never go.
3) The person should have demonstrated, over the years, a
willingness to
help out their region or regions (or club or whatever) at a local
level.
How do we pick the DTN? Well, the previous year's DTN handles
it, but t
always done in approximately the same way. This year I'm opening
nominations now, June 15th, I'll keep them open until July 1. I
will then
publish the list of nominees, and open the voting. Voting will
take 2
weeks. Then I'll publish the winner!
