Just a quick update on last night?s meeting.
It was nice to see another new face, excuse the pun, in the crowd as Don New came to find out what we were all up to. What Don found was another spirited meeting bursting with passion, ideas, agreements and disagreements. A typical meeting on Wednesday is spent having all the team leaders discuss their weekly progress and then discussing ideas on how to solve the next big issue on hand. Promoting a kart race is a lot like construction, its problem solving at its highest levels. Someone once told me, ?there is a solution to every problem, and if you do not have the solution, then you are the problem?. God I miss that guy.
Anyway, my primary responsibility is track safety and corner workers. My biggest problem today is not having enough flags, and too many corner workers! Who would have thunk it? We are going to have two classes for our corner workers just before the event, and we have a full fleet of rescue vehicles at this time. Things are pretty well in safety land.
Let?s just hope that Doug and AJ have too many track set-up and tear down folks, Scott has too many major sponsors, Drew has too many VIP?s to announce to, Jay has too many pre-registered races to pit, the hotel does not have enough rooms?These are the type of problems we are looking forward to solving. All in all, we are moving very fast with this race and the calendar seems to be racing by at F1 speeds.
When you see the pre-registration form hit the GGP site you may want to jump fast and procure a pit and hotel rooms before you end up in one of the many cattle pens. This race is going to be something special in just its first year. Rumor has it we will have 13+ entries from our friends in Utah. Those guy?s are scary fast! Plus, we are already looking at adding another ? mile of STREET to the 2nd Annual GGP. How is that for a teaser?
Thanks again to Duff and Craig for the on-site marketing efforts they are working on at CNS. We all would like to thank all of the efforts put forth by everyone who has attended our meetings, and I look forward to seeing new faces at the meetings to come.
