Hi Folks,

Despite many rumours of a date change our Solodex 3 competition event will be held on Sunday 22nd May 2011 at the ARC car park.

The event schedule will be as follows:

Registration - 8:00am to 10:00am
Late Registration - 10:01am to 10:15am
Scrutineering - 8:00am to 10:15am
Late Scrutineering - 10:16am to 10:30am
Course Walk Thur - 9:00am to 10:10am
Driver and Marshal briefing - 10:15 to 10:40
Drive Thru - 10:41am to 10:55am
Competition start - 11:00am

Late registration will be at an additional cost of $50.00 and ALL registration will be closed promptly at 10:15am

Also at the briefing we will be assigning marshal for the four run cycles in an effort to have a quicker change over during the event. Another item to be noted is that competitors with street tires must have a minimum thread depth of 2mm on each of their tires and this will be checked during scrutineering.

Also persons interested in renting tents for this event can book by email to carstt@gmail.com or by phone call to Gen at 678-4635. The cost for a 20'x20' is $325.00.

We would like to take this opportunity to request volunteers for marshal duties for this event. Please respond by email to carstt@gmail.com or by posting on this forum or on our facebook Solodex 3 event page.

Event costs are Non Member gate entry $20.00, Non Member Driver Registration $140.00, 2011 Membership Fee $100.00, Driver Registration for Members $120.00. Helmet rental at $45.00 each.

Competitors are reminded that our dress code is in effect and does not allow sleeve-less tops, short pants or open toe shoes or slippers.

At the end for the competition runs we will be having our fun runs once time permits at $25.00 for two runs.

the course should be unbiased against cars older than 30 years. feel free to disadvantage FWD V6 hatchbacks though (as if they ever had an advantage to begin with). :mrgreen:

I fine the cost to expensive. $140 for none members? And they still have to pay $20 to enter the gate?
It should just be $20 to enter and $120 to run.

It should just be $20 to enter and $120 to run.

And who will cover the cost of the timing tent, chair rental, trophies, DJ, security?

I feel they should raise the price, seeing as most volunteer to help out, and at least get some drinks for those poor sweaty bastards.

ORRRRRRRRRRR Yuh could pay yuh membership, getin for FREE, and only pay the 120.

^Nope, loosing the first two events has already put me at at a gross disadvantage this year. Most likely, I will be missing two competition later on in the year due to work as well.

Pete has 1st place in ES overall as far as I am concerned. The fight is for second, and i am sure Abraham with the other swift will have something to say about that as well. Swift FTW!

BTW, I really hope you get that MX sorted out and go back to SS. You seem to only have an obsession with my name since your arival in ES....

It's not obsession, it's just that you are an easy target. 8-)

While you fighting for 2nd place, Anthony and I will be fighting Pete for first place

just so i get this right, spectators have to pay to 'watch' ?

Postby **pete** » May 19th, 2011, 9:07 pm

And they get seating in the shade and toilet facilities as well as food and drink before they run out.

Reyos · Postby **Reyos** » May 19th, 2011, 9:18 pm

^^you have it correct foss...you can look at it that way....or you can look at it as making a small contribution to helping one of the few legal forms of motto sport in Trinidad and Tobago.
i understand that the $20. may sound like a lot, but you may not know that it actually costs quite a bit to make an event happen. Tents, chairs, tables, dj, bathrooms, venue are all rented by CARS so that our competitors and spectators or "watchers" are comfortable....Unfortunately we do not have much sponsors for every event so most of us are usually hoping to just at least break even ....

We at CARS have nothing to hide. Any profit that is made from the events is invested into the club...i.e new equipment (timing system, generator, safety equipment etc)...these investments make the events a little more enjoyable/tolerable for our spectators or "watchers".....plus at the end of the year we contribute a percentage of our profits to a charity (changes every year).
Also at the annual AGM we have a financial report that is circulated...in that report we account for everything....and with book keeping ppl like Gen around, we have receipts for everything.

hope this clears up why we charge the small gate fee for our friends and supporters ....
if you would like to avoid the gate fee, you can sign up to be a member (cost is $100.) ...this allows you to enter the gates free of charge and you also pay $20. less to enter the competition events. Its one of the benefits of being a member of the club...hope this helps
