Is there a schedule posted anywhere for this event?
Quick update for everyone on the upcoming day at Brainerd International Raceway. I've spoken to some of you on some further details but wanted to make sure that everyone is comfortable with what is going to happen on Monday.
Schedule:
First thing on the schedule is check-in/registration. We will start checking everyone in at 7:30am so please be there at least by 7:30 and probably a few minutes earlier. The track should be open at 7:00 am.
Driver's meeting is at 8:00 am and will go for 1 hour. Gary Curtis is running the driver's meeting and may release the more experienced people @ 8:30 and continue with further information for beginners. Everyone MUST attend the driver's meeting.
For the morning, there will be 30 minute sessions alternating between 2 groups. One group will have beginners and some others that are less experienced or maybe just don't care what group they run in. The other group will be more experienced drivers. Rules are the same for both groups and will be strictly enforced. This of course is for everyone's safety. This is NOT a race.
Early on in the afternoon, we will have a very brief driver's meeting to answer any questions/concerns. If all is going well, we will open the track up and you will be able to run whenever you & your car are ready.
Lunch:
The Donnybrooke group is providing lunch for their group only (they also pay more than you are for the day). If you would like to join them for lunch, a meal can be purchased for $15.00. I apologize that I am a bit late in letting everyone know about this. Please let me know by today if you would like a lunch and I'll arrange it with Donnybrooke. They will probably have a few extra lunches so even if you don't let me know, they may have one for you.
Otherwise there is a restaurant right outside the gate and I suspect that a lot of folks from our group will go and have lunch there or another nearby restaurant.
The drive up:
Some of us will be going up on Sunday afternoon or evening. If you are interested in tagging along with a group of us on the drive up, please let me know and we will work something out.
If you drive up on Sunday, it would be great if we could all get together for dinner that evening. There is a Famous Dave's restaurant right in front of the hotel and would be a good place to meet. Please contact me if you are interested and we will arrange for that.
Camping:
If you plan on camping, please get in touch with me. There was apparently a misunderstanding and some things have changed. I will do whatever I can to work this out, I just really need to know who is planning on camping and we will talk about it.
Hotel:
If you signed up after my last email regarding the hotel, please know that we have a group rate through Donnybrooke at the "Lodge at Brainerd Lakes". The rate should be $82 if you tell them that you are with the Donnybrooke group.
I've probably forgotten something else. Please feel free to call me on my cell if you have any questions.
See you at the track!

Keith, will I see you at Larry's on Saturday? Maybe we can discuss the trip there. I really want to go some time next week, because I start my new job the week after, and won't be able to take time off for a while.
