With the looming expenses Bob will face we have come up with a great idea

We will be running a benefit track day at PMP on Saturday Nov. 17th.

Minimum Donation to Bob's fund

$100.00 for a full track day
$75.00 for a half track day

**this is the first weekend day availible**

In case of bad weather Ene has penciled us in for two make up dates. Those dates are Nov 18th and Nov 24th

Earlene and Jay at PMP have graciously offer the use of the track at no cost to us to help raise money for Bob...so a big thank you to them

Myself, Mark Schellinger, Jim Wilson and Scott Rybarik will be on hand to donate our time for anyone needing a class, however the minimum donation if you need the class will be $150.00

So mark your calenders and see you there!

Questions please PM me

None of know what the weather will bring but the track will be there, a lot of your friends will be there and let's rock the place for Bob.

Thanks to each of you,
Ene

I just received this email from Earlene....YOU COULD WIN FREE PRACTICE FOR THE 08 SEASON!

By the way dear friend. On the November 17 day, I want to sweeten the pot for Bob. There will be a drawing. The only way anyone can win is:

1. Must have paid their track fee to you.
2. Must be present to win.

Win what, you say ?????????????????

2 Free, Full track days, per month from May-September. So that is 10 free full track days to one rider. One name will be chosen, One winner. Value $750.00.

If you want to post it on the sites, go for it. I just want to help Bob however I can.

Joe and Ralph, I received approval from the board on my proposal to use the MRA equipment, ie: radios, flags, crash cart, extinguishers, etc for this event. I will bring the MRA truck down to the track and help Marshal/corner work along with Michelle and Autumn.

Hope this helps. I know Bob would do any of this, for any of us.

I'd love to do this! Praying the weather holds out for this one, I may bring a first time PMP friend down to donate/participate. Will there be a safety class for him? He;s experienced, but rules are rules ( and a good one at that). Thanks for the grand prize to "sweeten the POT" , Earlene! Wish bob was healthy and there was no need for this. Look forward to seeing some old friends during the winter break.
Cant wait for next year.
get well soon, Spidee.
Cheers,

Dave, yes there is a class for him. Contact Joe or Mark to set that up in advance or maybe they can do it when you guys arrive. But I would call ahead IMO. Dingle

Big thanks Tim (and Michelle/Autumn)! Now I know why my PM asking if we could use flags and stuff was being ignored. ;) :lol:

We had a good news day on Bob, but I will let Joe make the post about that.

ok we have 20+ people coming down for Bob's track day.

Please check out the csc thread for the details

***Important****

A few changes have been made to the line up and day's festivities

Tammy Schellinger (Team Vamar boss lady), Kris Hillman and Krissy Bash have volenteered to bring hamburgers, hotdogs and other assorted food and drinks for all the track day people. They will be selling the food with 100% going to help Boob errr Bob

I am currently working on having a couple of top local racers on hand to help out anyone that wants it. They will be charging $40 per twently minute session, with all of the money going to Bob....this is an awesome way to learn how to improve on you skillz ( or Jim's Mad Skillz)! And before anybody gets too excited, I have reserved two of the sessions for ME! These sessions will be on a first come first serve basis, with sign ups at the track. Right now Mark Schellinger has been committed (by Tammy) to be providing this service. I will let everyone know when I get commitments from a few others

In terms of the Newb class I have gotten a few questions as to how to sign up. Please post in this thread and hopefully a mod can edit the list so it is on one page. I need to know with as much notice as possible how many new track day riders will be in attendance so that I can have the appropriate number of insturctors. I like to have my student to teacher ratio as small as possible.

And by the way saw Bob today...he is doing very well

I posted in the CSC thread that im definately in. Also, a good friend of mine who used to be a track day guy is going to come down and take the certification class on my 600. Let me know what info you need to get him signed up.

I received conformation from Go Fast today that they will have a promotions crew on hand to pass out free Go Fast Energy Drinks. They will also be having a raffle only availible to attendees and volunteers for free Go Fast shirts, hats and stuff...

So it really looks like this day is shaping up to be a great time and will provide some need help to Bob

We will also have a few AMA pro riders on hand (Mark Schellinger and Brad Hendry). They will be selling short session of help to any rider that would like it.

Vanmar Racing/Michelin Tires will be offering tire support and XBAM will be provide massages

PMP has offered to raffle of 10 free trackdays (for the summer of 2008 to one lucky winner)

Earlene(ENE) is working on a group hotel rate and should be getting back to me today or tomorrow.

So....this is going to be a great event. Hope to see everyone there!
