We are going to take aug. off for a family vacation

Here is my input added.
I noticed that some of the posts had items added, but then they were not carried over to the next posts. so if you look at some responses they added stuff not on this list such as "5) Good support from suppliers ".
I added this one as #18 to this list so if anyone keeps going they should copy this latest post and add to it. and so on and so on.....

I sorted by number of votes and tried to capture some of the missing votes. I had to vote for aroma. I hesitated on giving online registration a vote because I like the live interaction with the staff (if you're pickin’ up what I’m puttin’ down), but then I realized I still have to get my wrist band. Yay! Lastly, no kidding, two drops! People in Michigan with a three month season probably have one drop! On the improvement list, I added punch off cone location for grand backwards and a request for Robin.

The water mister would pose a problem.
1} No plumbing anywhere near the grid.
2} Probably NOT a good idea to be sitting with your kart in a misted area for 10 -20 mins. Believe it or not, those things do put out a lot of moisture. I have made a makeshift one for my pit with a simple garden pump sprayer filled with my ice chest water. Then zip tie the nozzle to a high velocity electric fan. Works Great !

Punch off cones for Grand'e CCW. The board has adressed this for the future.

Podium Awards. GREAT idea ! Would like to work on this for '09
Get the presentation right after post tech. Need to make up a podium back drop banner with LAKC and club sponsor logos. Makes for better photos.

Ribin in the golf kart...think she has enough on her plate.
Perhaps someone can pitch HOOTERS as a club sponsor. Then . . . .

Now that's a plan.....watch the membership numbers double overnight!!!

OK. I'm on it.

Removed items with only one vote, and added status for our improvement list


Wife just step in. Quote "I can't believe you started that list. You're suck a dork." What's up with that? She voted for Aroma bleacher therapy, moving it into pole.
