2005 ROTB (Running of The Bulls)

New 02/07/2005

To all:
I am changing the location of this year's Running of the Bulls. Two things factored into this:

1) Low attendance due to the longer drive;
2) Track issues in IA with pricing and length of time we'd have the track.

Initially, it was set in IA so that some members from the West Coast could attend. After reviewing attendees, or possible attendees, it was apparent that only two people from the WC would be attending, and one wasn't sure. Makes more sense to me to hold it at a location that more people will be willing to attend.

I'm not sure what information was already put out other than on the TCCA, but if there's any, it will need to be changed.

Our new location is tentatively Gingerman Raceway. I know you're all familiar with it, so I won't go into details. I'm trying to keep the date the same, June 23rd.

Tentative track event pricing is $150. If lunch is desired at the track we'll be offering that for $10 additional.

I've attached a Word document that outlines our tentative plans. I say tentative because I haven't heard back from Gingerman yet. I see that the date is available so it shouldn't be a problem.

Also, while I have your attention, I'll be needing instructors for the course. Anyone interested? I can offer a free pat on the back for your time. :)

Thanks for reading, and please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Bob Gervais

This event will most likely run into the evening hours, weather permitting. The park it’s held at is right on a beach, so there’s sure to be impromptu beach combing, etc.
