2010NASSM- ROAD CAPTAIN Master List

Which is why I have left every weekend open from now on to sight-train anyone interested in coming to the event area. I most certainly appreciate the efforts of all involved here to create a tool that many can use and by no means am trying to dissuade anyone from continuing this research. I think it is a most noble effort Given that I also want any readers to be aware of the following Owning a GPS is NOT a criteria for being an RC or attending a run. Being able to download GPS information will be an option- It was never going to be and never will be mandatory.

We can't rely on memory or cognitive ability...last night I put the cat in the fridge and threw my beer out the back door.

Exactly! It's not like him to throw a beer out and waste it!!! Wasting a beer is alcohol abuse!!!

[Darkwing]

Don't worry. When I got up in the morning and went to the door to let the cat in I saw the beers on the lawn and retrieved them and put them in the fridge.......Frisky is really pizzed at me though.

Oh good! I was worried you were dumping out the beers. But you were just putting them outside over night to cool. Good thinking!!! You're saving energy!!!

OK...some interim information

61 cars registered and the RUNS are starting to fill up.

One big issue to be addressed is this

SATURDAY....

due to the Closing Banquet...car show etc...only 2 categories of runs
are being set up for Saturday ...both reasonably short ones
SHORT STACK (2 hrs)
START OF SPRING (3- 3.5 hrs)

all to be completed by about 1 pm

so far 6 entries for Short Stack...but 20 for SOS
we have scheduled 4 run times for each.

Short Stack does not seem to be a problem...we should have
about 20 cars for the 4 runs....maybe even reduce it to 3 runs

SOS....at 20 registered right now....this "could" extrapolate much higher......
but because we are holding to 4 runs ....the 32 spots are going to fill up and be closed quicker that any of the other runs/days

Problem is ...Only 3 people have signed up for Road Captains for Saturday's SOS...

SO I REALLY NEED SOMEONE TO STEP UP AND CLAIM SPOT #4

I'll worry about the rest much farther down the road

So...how about a volunteer ???

[druid-2]

Bringing this back to the forefront.

Our prediction was accurate and Saturday is full.

We need a couple more people to step up and volunteer for Short Stack on Saturday so we can add a couple runs.

If no one steps up we will either increase the number per group...or close it down and disappoint people.

WHO IS GOING TO STEP UP AND HELP US MAKE THIS NATION EVENT A SUCCESS??

Well we don't want disappointed people, so let me know if you need me.

[druid-2]

you got it

[pjsquire]

I am currently signed up to RC Thu & Friday but does not look like I am as popular as I thought...

If it works better I could RC a Saturday run if allowed to join another RC's group for Thu or Fri.

Not certain this helps but from best I can tell from the current roster it may...

Regards.

[druid-2]

we do not understand why Saturday is full and the other 2 days still have a lot of open capacity.

Your help is appreciated and if we do consider adding additional runs on Saturday we will ask you first.

Mike

Feel free to adjust my schedule for the short stack or SOS runs on Friday or Saturday. I prefer to RC on just one day, but if it helps I can lead a run on both days.

[druid-2]

got it DW

druid-2 : we do not understand why Saturday is full and the other 2 days still have a lot of open capacity.

There are probably a number of people arriving on Friday, making Saturday the only day they have available. Combine that with less run capacity on Saturday, and you have a mis-match.
