Hey Murph !
I think it's a great idea !
Find out who's attending the Runoffs and look for the best person - one that
speaks well and looks good cleaned up - to represent the class ! If there's
someone you know heading to the Runoffs that you know can do a good job
representing the F5 gang, ask 'em if you can nominate them for this
important opportunity !
Some special considerations for us to consider regarding our spokesperson
might include the following :
They should be a driver ! - With a good grasp of the "jargon" and
how things work - whatever
"airtime" - if any - we
get will be short and fleeting ! Someone with a low
"stress" level will not
be able to "deal" with both the Race and
the Interview !
Not be a manufacturer ! - Which one do we select and who's nose will
get out of joint ?
We don't need any sword
fights that'll linger on after the Runoffs !
Having one of each Marque
on display with their drivers pointing out each
manufacturers special
features might work well - if time's available !
If your nominee sez OK - send their name in on our web list and let us
start taking a look at our nominees ! How do we select one ? The SCCA is
comprised of 8 regions - we should select 1 person ( a driver ?? ) from each
region to cast their vote to be our spokesman !
The same 8 make the final decision regarding the "Talking Points" ! ( we'll
have to make sure all know what
the term - "talking points" mean ! We could end up with some nice long
epistle's !
In the mean time start a thread where all can offer their suggestions for
the "Talking Points" we'll use,
figure out what "points" will best serve us and give it a go !
I think the F5 group will eventually have to grab the "Bull" by the horns
and do it themselves - is there anybody else going to do it for us ??
Ray Croc, the McDonald's hamburgler guy, was being interviewed one time and
asked what he attributed his success to ? He replied - " I took a
disorganized business and organized it "
Not a bad idea - it might work for us !

excellent idea. All for it but having spent 4 years in US Navy I learned
never to volunteer.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: With the Runoffs coming up and how historically
the commentators have
screwed up the description of our class, I would like to propose that we
put
together a printed list of "talking points" about our class. Once we have
gathered
them together, then we select a person to be the class rep who will then
contact the TV crew and review the list with them. The goal being that the
commentators will really hit the nail on the head when they talk about our
cars
during our race. Hopefully, this will make our class a little bit more
attractive to the racing public.
I hope that this is helpful.
