[Fot] 2020 KASTNER CUP SECOND CALL / and some updates

[marty]

Now that its November I'll give some updating.  I have had replies to the email below from 30 drivers. That's a good start. 🙂. If you are planning on racing at the Kastner Cup next June and have not replied please do so, or if you know any triumph racers that aren't on the internet thingy please reply on their behalf. This will help greatly with planning, both with my working with SVRA and some internal FOT planning. I don't want to leave anybody out. There was some questions regarding staying at the track in your rigs. I spoke to Mid-Ohio this morning and they said staying in your RV in the paddock was not an issue. There was no mention of any additional cost associated with this.  RV, van, trailer, whose to judge. 🙂. There are no electric hookups in our paddock. The track does have a dump station near the false grid area. Also the porta john sucker folks will be cruising the paddocks and will empty your tanks in the paddock if so desired. If you have a long haul home I received permission for us to park in the grass area up toward the gate if you want to spend the night and head out in the morning. We just have to clear the paved paddocks as they have a track rental Monday morning. That might be a fun Sunday night FOT party to wrap up the weekend festivities.

I was going to wait until after the first of the year to do this but figured that it might be a good idea to start now while people are thinking about it and before your rigs are put away for the winter. I had a meeting earlier in the year with SVRA regarding our paddock spots. We will have our own spot on paved surface.  Open trailers will be required to park in the grass .It will be in the upper paddock but will be "concentrated" as the paved paddocks are not all that expansive. If it rains a bunch like it did this year and the track closes off the grass paddocks things will get cozy. SVRA will work with us and I have agreed to provide them with some counts and space requirements in advance. Hopefully this will make things go smoother once we arrive. So, here is what I need from you if you are planning on attending. 1) name, 2) tow vehicle size, 3) trailer size, 4) awning/canopy size, 5) will you be staying at the track in your rig? 6) would you be interested in having our own FOT dinner Friday evening for around $25 a head?  This is not a commitment to attend on your part but will make the planning process much easier so if you are just thinking you will be there please reply or email me direct at trmarty at hotmail.com. Info will be used to size our paddock and determine how big of tent we will need to rent. The Friday night dinner is just in the investigation stages but I need to know how many people might be interested.  This event is looking to be a pretty big deal so I am hoping to do a bunch of pre-event work with SVRA well in advance so things go smoothly once we arrive.

Thanks,
Marty Sukey
