  I'll also throw this out there for everyone. I hope the weather
holds out and you have a perfect weekend for racing.   
   Blackhawk is a great facility, they have done a ton of improvements
to the paddock roads and infrastructure.   
   However, if it does raineither the day before or during the event
the paddock becomes a nightmare in several places. If you feel your
rig is stuck. Don't try to get out on your own. Wait it out and
they'll have you out at the end of the within 5 minutes. If you try
and get yourself out it'll take 30. Walk every area of the paddock
before you drive in. If it feels mushy try and avoid it. I got my rv
stuck a few weekends ago. Not fun, but I actually got to watch some
racing

	Afternoon all! We are less than four weeks away from the 15th Annual
Kastner Cup at Blackhawk Farms. As of this morning we have 30 Triumphs
that have registered. It's going to be a super competitive field and I
lsuspect that we should end up north of 35 cars in the field. For
those that haven't registered yet I wanted to let you know that
VSCDA's early bird pricing ends next Monday 5/29 so the event entry
will go up $50 after that date. The link to online entry is:

	The preliminary schedule is also out. There has been some confusion
on this so I'll try to summarize as best as I can.  

	On Thursday registration and tech open at 4 p.m. As of this time I
cannot promise that it will open earlier or that anyone will be able
to set up in the paddock before that. There is a private rental that
day and for insurance purposes we can't be in the track area until
they are done for the day. One item of note for those that have not
been there before - Blackhawk's infield requires crossing the track to
enter so ingress/egress is only possible between timed sessions on
track. Keep that in mind over the course of the weekend.  

	 On Friday, the Triumphs will run in their own group - designated
Group F on the schedule. So all Triumphs will run two practice
sessions together and then a Qualifying session together in the
afternoon on Friday. That qualifying session will set the grid for the
Kastner Cup the following day. Friday night in the FOT Hospitality
tent there will be a wine and cheese gathering featuring the cars of
Beady Eye Racing along with several important announcements. You won't
want to miss it.  

	On Saturday morning, the Triumphs will be rolled into their normal
production groups. All 4 cylinder Group 2 cars will likely roll into
Race Group C. All 6 cylinder Group 8 cars will likely roll into Race
Group D (I say likely because VSCDA is reserving the right to adjust
this based on entry mix). On Saturday morning you will qualify with
these groups. That Qualifying session will set you up for the Sprint
races to follow later that morning and early afternoon. The Kastner
Cup will begin just after 5 p.m. on Saturday with awards immediately
following in the FOT hospitality tent. 

	On Sunday you will run with your race Group (C or D) for your feature
race. The link to the preliminary schedule is:

	 I know this is a lot of information but I will send truncated (only
containing info pertinent to our groups) schedules as we get closer
and VSCDA finalizes group assignments. Also, there will be handouts
for FOT members at registration with all the info you'll need for the
weekend. The FOT tent will also be a great resource throughout the
weekend. The tent will include: 

 	* FOT hospitality area
 	* FOT service area for any racer in need of covered, lit, communal
automotive triage (compressed air, tools, jacks, etc. available)
 	* Track maps and spotters guides
 	* Kastner Cup videos & in car video fresh from this event and
archived from others. 

	Things are really coming together for a great event. There are still
some items/areas that I could use some help with. I will be meeting
with the VSCDA race chair and track management this weekend and will
follow up with some specific requests in the near future. Thanks to
all that have registered and/or donated to the cause to date. You are
helping to make this a memorable event.  

	More soon - thanks!
