Reserving 2008 Car #'s

[DaveITB1]

#1. Does anyone have the date for the opening of the car number reservation to the 2008 racing season?

#2. Is Kristen Shepard still the contact person for this?

#3. If so, does someone have her email address?

I remember that the reservation time was sometime in November.


Thanks.

This note was on the NARRC webpage:



2008 NARRC Reserved Numbers - A Note from Kristen
Dear Drivers,
I will be doing the NARRC numbers again this year. ONLY e-mails will be taken for requests. NO phone calls, thank you. I have a new e-mail address for NARRC number requests only.... [email protected]. Requests may begin on November 1st. If you send an e-mail to any previous e-mail addresses or prior to November 1st I will not be honoring it, so please take note of the change. I have been told the groupings will be done at the mini-convention the first weekend of November. Once I receive those groupings I will start assigning the numbers. If you reserved a number last year, you have until the first of the year to reserve it otherwise its first come, first serve.

Thank you, Kristen Sheppard

Smarty said that you were sitting at home in your 'cowboy pajamas', when you should have been at the Pumpkin for the enduro this weekend. We were all there...where the hell were YOU ???

You don't get no numbers if you don't show up and race.

[DaveITB1]

First of all, Jonathan, it was my "Spaceman Spiff" pajamas. :P

2nd of all, why are you bringing the hate? I invited you to the Hoosier trailer for a couple of cold ones at WGI and you were too busy to come all the way to the end of the garages to grace us with your presence. Excuse me.

Lastly, I was playing on a big Tonka toy in my backyard, bringing some propane lines to "Man Land", aka "The Cave" aka "My Barn".


I had to let Smarty get some seat time since he only got 0.3 miles during the practice session at Watkins.


Sorry I missed you out there. I'll have to buy you a beer in '08.


Peace Out !!

[attachmentid=1181]You really expect me to be able to walk the length of the garage AND remember what I intended to do when I started at the far end ??? You have any idea how many hard hits to the head I've had ???

We can have a "Battle of the Backhoes". Must be the "racer burrowing before hibernation" gene kicking in. New storage barn for all the crap I usually leave out in the woods is going up now.

(It looks like I can add a pix file attachment, but HTH do I do it ? Did the 'browse & add attachment' thing, but no pix shows up - ???)

[lateapex911]

And I always thought you were one of the brighter guys that posted here!

1 - Browse: find the pic in your files. Make sure its small, not huge filesize -wise
2 - click "add this attachment"
3 - I clicked "Add into post" in the grey box detailing the file that appears after step 2.
4- "Submit"
and you should get the thumbnail, like mine, but undoubtedly less appealing

Most issues are improper file types (Jpegs always safe) or excessive size. If you have posted lots of pics before, go to your control panel and check and mange your global attachments to make sure you haven't used all of your alloted space on the IT.com server.


If you have hosting capabilities, you can also use the Http formatting and host the attachment yourself, which frees you from the space restrictions.

"Man Land"

I had to make it big enough so that the wife doesn't have to look at all my "car stuff" when she walks out the door in the morning. Comfortably sleeps 6 (cars).[attachmentid=1179][attachmentid=1179]


John,

The next invite I give you will include a note pinned to your brawny chest with what I said so that you can make that long walk to see us.........

Perhaps you should start wearing your helmet around the paddock to reduce your boo-boos to the ole' noodle.

[JohnRW]

Ah...the "too big" problem. Common around here. Fixed...pix of Hoe attached.

Nice Man-Land. Like the doors and the "board & batten" siding...X-zachery what I'm doing here, too. Main shop here is off in the woods, to the left... currently hidden behind a bunch of '60's-era Chevy trucks. "Oh the humanity"....

Smarty in his ALF pjs, you in a set of POWER RANGER ones (with the feet of course), huddled around a small propane heater in the front of the Hoosier trailer trying to keep out the fall chill, surrounded by empty pizza boxes and empty bottles of PBR, you gaze into............its too terrible to even type!!!
John didn't WANT to remember where he was supposed to go.


The garage looks good, send me a pic around Feb 1st

Nice hoe John, looks sharp.

Smart of you to get an invisible one so your wife can't find out!

Just to revive an old thread, has anyone heard back from Kristen? I've sent three emails over the past two months but received no reply or acknowledgments.

She has just started sending out confirmations for run groups she has done. Remember, she couldn't do anything until she got word of the NARRC-agreed groupings.

[gran racing]

O.k. Cool. I sent two e-mails out and wasn't sure she got either of them with SPAM filters. This might help for next year - set-up a sub e-mail address for this with an auto reply message. Just a thought.

That is a good idea.

[7racing]

"This might help for next year - set-up a sub e-mail address for this with an auto reply message. Just a thought."

That is basically how last years email address got porked by Yahoo. There were so many replies that Yahoo decided it was spam.

Google seems better, but we will see how that works this year. As Andy said, she just started the process this week, so you should hear something soon. Don't fret....it's not even January yet and you really don't need a number until the first race.....in April.

[rhygin]

hmmmm.... I will check my spam folder. I did two emails as well and we shall see!

happy holidays!

[DaveITB1]

Just got word back on my # for 2008.

Thanks Kristen.
She said she has 200+ emails to go through..........

Happy New Year Everyone !! :snow_cool:
