[Fot] To cap this off

Fri Feb 7 19:49:47 MST 2014

No problem.
I have such guidelines.
A 5 page booklet of about 150 tasks.
As they say, 
This is not my first rodeo.
My club and I have recently developed a working format to answer and deal with every possible task for a "race plan".
Makes it easy but these things take lots of time and energy regardless.
This guideline would be suitable to many venues, simply changing club/track specifics... Making it difficult but not impossible to screw up.

I have pondered that myself as I might be foolish enough to try this some day. It would be neat if those that have these under their belts could put together a "to do" list of sorts of things that should be taken care of, things that you would have done different etc.. I would think these events have a bunch in common and it would be beneficial to the uninitiated. Just thinking out loud here :)

>> Quite frankly, I see vir and summit point as the only race in the east mentioned so far. So if you want ANYTHING to happen east of the rockies.... Get a program together and make a pitch. Otherwise the event will (strait from the horse's mouth) travel west. Where it is always warm, beautiful, flowering, paddle board accessible and well... pretty damn nice. Riddled with engine rooms, hot fab shops, bikini's, speedos, wetsuits and surf boards... And more than a few fast Triumphs!
