Default Let's help out Fall Colors

Ok folks, we've all seen Gridgirls post at the top of this page. I know some of us were upset with how FC was off, then on again. But the folks who put it on didn't do it to disrupt our plans for an event. They were trying to keep something good going when it looked like it was going to end. Anyway, the point is, good intentioned members of the S2Ki community did all they could. Sadly, they are well short of breaking even.

While I expect we will put together a great New England event, I still plan to go to Fall colors in the future and I don't want to see the event die for financial reasons. For that reason, I have decided to support the event and buy a few of the remaining items that they have for sale. Pleas know that even if they sell everything they have for the prices they are asking, they will still fall well short of breaking even. I hope I am not offending or embarrassing anybody by posting this.

If you don't agree with my appeal to help these folks out, I would take it as a personal favor if you did not flame the event or the effort to help them out.

Anyway, they have things to fit any budget. You might want to PM Gridgirl to see what shirt sizes they have left.

Remember folks, what goes around comes around. We will want folks to support our event in the future and good will has no price tag.

Thanks for reading this and considering my request.

Bill

Well, there is a yearly meet called Fall Colors. If you look at the Meets page you will see it has it's own forum. It has gone on for 4 years now and it is the biggest gathering of S2000s in North America. Anyway, it was going to be cancelled and then some folks stepped in and rescued it. You will see a sticky post at the top of this page from Gridgirl. If you read that, you will see they are trying to sell t-shirst and bags and such from the event to try to recoup at least some of the loss.

It is a great yearly event and some of us from Mass usually go every year. I plan to go in the future and I don't want to see it die.

I have nothing against the people or Fall Colors itself... its just way to damn far for me to drive. I'm also not really interested in taking my car to the track, I don't auto-cross it... so really I have no reason to drive that far to mostly sit around. Personally I would be driving like 11+ hours to hang out and watch other run around the track. Even the last Fall Colors I went to I didn't stay for the auto-x, I had a good time but even then that was a long drive...
