Cordova Sept 21st, Updated Info. Options

[Mike]

Okay here is the deal:

1. We will need to be at the track between 11:30 to 12:00 at the latest. I would suggest to join the caravan that I am starting. But just in case I will give instruction on how to get to Cordova even though I have never been. Trust me I did my research I hope! For instructions please see the bottom of the post.

2. The Money issue: WE do not want the money to be turned in early to DSMCentral via in person or over the web. Sorry if this makes it hard for you to go but it is the easiest that we can come up with. The entry fee will be $50.00 at the door PER CAR! Note** spectators get in free!!! If you don't have your 50 bucks you better look for a friend to loan you the cash. We will not accept anything but cash at this time but it may change. We will keep you posted.

3. Food - The concession stands and race gas pumps will be open for all to take part in. These things aren't exactly cheap, so I would suggest eating before you get there or bring a cooler and food. My caravan will be eating somewhere along the way. I would also suggest to bring lots of water. (Edited by MAC)

4. Help will be needed!! We will need people to help us make this as smooth as possible so maybe we can have a 2nd annual SCDC. This is what we will need:

• Money collector at gate - no view of the racing there
• Video recorder - someone with a camera to get all the action
• Time slip tally - Someone to review the posted times and rank them for trophies.

Please do not hesitate and sign up today if you or someone you know will be willing to take score

5. Driving directions - from Peoria take 74 towards Galesburg and stay on this till you reach near the Quad Cities. 74 will turn into 80 for a short time after you pass the 280 exit. Go about 10-15 miles till you reach Illinois Route 84. Take Route 84 north for about 15 miles and to your right you will see Cordova. Here is a map of the general area of Cordova Drag:



My cell # is 314-221-9579 if you get lost or have any questions, it "should" work there so you can call me.

I will be heading out at about 9am from Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino so I can eat lunch and make up time if we have a car break down. God forbid if this happens.

Thanks

It's time for another meeting to tie up our remaining loose ends before the Drag Challenge in two weeks.

I propose that we meet up this Wednesday at about 6PM at Applebees in East Peoria again.

I have sent in the $200 deposit.
Nate has ordered the trophies.
Spy, Jbone and others have passed around flyers and word to locals.
Mike has formed the Caravan.
Cordova will be keeping track of all time slips (Usually by car number or the last four digits of your soc. sec. number.)

Now we still need some one to take entry money on the day of the race, a person to video tape the entire event, and someone to help tally the time slips and keep track of the racers for trophies.

Let me know who can make it. I NEED at least the following people to show up, so let me know if this schedule will not work.
