Dinner & Refreshments

[JHaydon]

Anyone have any details on the "Dinner & Refreshments - Road America Center" on the schedule? Cost, whos is invited, etc?

Hi John,
EVERYONE is invited, all FF drivers, crew, hanger-on, groupies, especially groupies, past-present-future competitors, everyone.
I am creating a flyer to be distributed at Registration and by courier RThursday-Friday-Saturday outlining the various functions with the Saturday Party first and foremost in line.
Not a fancy dress up-sit down dinner but lots of food and drink, video entertainment, people you've heard of but never met face to face, guys who raced against each other 20-30-40 years ago who haven't seen each other since, it is going to be a great evening.
Likely some sort of short unscripted program of off the cuff remarks and introductions.
The cost ?
Through the generosity of several benefactors, who will be recognized that evening, the cost to the competitor is nothing.
Anyone wanting to contribute certainly won't be turned down, we don't actually have the entire budget committed to, but no tickets, no price of admission, just get there, the large Pavillion in the center of the main paddock [RA scotched the RA Center for our use last weekend] and enjoy.
Next question is generally when , let's say 6:30 until all the food and beer is gone, that work for everyone ?

The Saturday evening program will be minimal but will include the following:

(1) Presentation of FF40th Over/Under contest award "prize" to Matt King whose winning guess ("220, 221...whatever it takes") is destined for immortality.

(2) Presentation of the grand door prize: a custom helmet paint job from Seven 1 Design aka Mike Kolthoff. The winner's name is in a sealed envelope in my helmet bag.

Don't forget to stop by my trailer to pick up your FF40th door prize...I've got over 100 valuable (priceless?) goodies to give away.
