[s-cars] S-CAR Nationals Cancelled... but wait, there is more !

[Frederic L'Huillier]

Hi,

This is very very sad to read such an email. I know as one of the two
persons who organize the french Audi Nationals how much work and passion are
required to make such event happen. This is very unfortunate. Darin, you
have my complete support in this difficult time. I can only hope next year
will be a success and hope one day to be able to attend it.

Regards,
Frederic

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry to say that the life support plug has been pulled on the
2002 Nationals event.  I tried to save it but it clearly was not
happening.  A phone discussion with Jimmy Pribble this morning
basically cemented the thought that it was time to give it up and try
to minimize the losses.  I made an agreement with the hotel in order
to bail out of my contract with them for the weekend and limit my
loss.  I really hate giving up on something that I have been working
on but I think this is the best outcome.  For those of you who have
already registered, you have already received refunds if you did so
via PayPal.  I'll be sending refund checks out tomorrow to those of
you who paid via check.  If you have made hotel reservations at the
Marriot please let me know so I can get those refunded for you as
well.

What now?  Well, the grand event is off but that is not to say that
there won't be an S-CAR event in Minneapolis that weekend.  THE SHOW
MUST GO ON.  I'm working on putting together an S-Festival which will
be held at Anderson Motorsport in Chanhassen, Minnesota on Saturday,
August 31st.  All you need to do in order to attend this event is
RSVP me with your vehicle type and head count and show up on
Saturday!  Donations will be accepted at the door for both the event
costs and the Children's Cancer Research Fund.

DATE:  Saturday, August 31st.
PLACE:  Anderson Motorsport, 7700 Quattro Drive, Chanhassen, MN
TIME:  9:30 AM - ??
EVENTS:
- People's choice car show with class winners.  (UrS4, UrS6, new S4,
post '96
Audi general class, pre '96 Audi general class, etc.)
- Picnic style lunch...  we'll have the grill going with brats,
burgers, etc.
- Paintless dent removal services on hand
- Leather reconditioning services  on hand
- Clear bra installations
- And a technical session concerning brakes (and possibly other
topics)

Yes, the Nationals are dead.  The S-Fest Saturday lives on however.
Just let me know if you plan on attending the Saturday gathering.
