Below are the banner entries, as well as donations that have been made in response to this specific effort.

This does not mean that these are the ONLY people that have been kind enough to help with the Fall Colors 2002 cost overrun. During the event people donated money and continued to do so afterwards (directly to Rick).

Despite everyones generosity the deficit was still quite large. The Banner raffle was started to further the effort to reduce the losses Rick incurred.

I believe that I can speak for Rick and the others who helped with this event by saying that the support that the S2Ki community has shown so far, proves how unique and special this group of people are.

I think we all should be proud of each other. That being said here are the Banner Stats:

Jim

Thanks very much for setting this up

as special thanks to all who have contributed so far!!

thanks
Steve

 

I'm especially appreciative of Jim's efforts and everyone who's purchased raffle tickets and made contributions. I was ready to walk away from ever doing Fall Colors again, but the support now makes me eager to get started on next year's planning.

We'll make the autocross an all-day affair next year and run the clinics at the same site. We'll also charge a separate fee for those who participate in the autox. That way we'll avoid the deficit financing and be sure that everyone gets in lots of runs.

We've contributed the 150 cones we bought (the day before Fall Colors) to the New England club and I understand now that Glenn is raising funds to buy timing equipment. So we hope to be properly equipped next year

Thanks everybody!!!!

 

be sure to keep an eye on the NE fourm for our first annual spring poker run.. hopefully we can raise some $$s for the lights & some decent prizes

Best
Bass

 

This was a community effort. I couldn't have done it without Bass and his enthusiasim. I also received a lot of support from the community organizers.

Jim

 

THANK YOU JIM AND STEVE!!!!

With people like you guys putting this together really makes me proud to be part of this community!

AND... to everyone that has contributed money to help Rick out.... THANK YOU!

And yes... Rick has let the cat out of the bag... I am now going to be purchasing the timing lights... I hope to have them before the Spring Auto-x Event!





Rick... we will be more than ready for next year! I can't wait!


Thank you again to everyone!

 

Rick please check your e-mail!!!!

 

I can't express in words how grateful I am for Jim's and Steve's hard work and all the support given to the banner raffle by our friends. The S2000 community has the best group of people -- generous, down-to-earth, helpful, and unselfish are the first traits that come to mind -- of any enthusiast organization in the world, and I'm proud to be associated with it.

We took a huge hit on Fall Colors 2002 (largely owing to the extra last-minute autox costs), but everybody's support has eased the pain considerably. In the end, since the NE club will soon be set up with its own complete AutoX gear, it will benefit many owners in the Northeast come good weather this spring.

Thanks everybody, and especially Jim and Steve! See you at an AutoX soon, where I hope I will have a chance to do my Lime Rock spin trick on a dry track.
