VCRA “BULLETIN BOARD”

February, 2012

THE REALLY SAVY RALLY FOLKS ALREADY HAVE THEIR ENTRIES IN..… for the “All Stars For Autism” charity rally scheduled for May 2-6 in Rogers, AR. You can check the “Entrant List” to see who’s already secured their preferred starting position by getting their entry in early. A reminder to those of you that are waiting ….. the date your entry arrives at the VCRA office determines your initial starting position. It’s the first event of the year, so don’t delay....get your entry in now!!!

MAKE YOUR HOTEL RESERVATIONS…as early as possible to assure the room type you would like. VCRA has a certain number of rooms blocked at the preferred price of $99.00 for VCRA racers and support crews. Check the “Hotel Information” for details.

ONE RULES DIFFERENCE OF NOTE FOR VCRA REGIONAL EVENTS…concerning the time to pick up instructions. At VCRA regional events, instructions will be issued exactly 45 minutes prior to your official start time. You will receive this “event supplement” at applicable VCRA regional registrations. We are making this exception in light of the fact that we do not make available the roller board instructions.

OUR DEAR FRIENDS PAT & PAT BROTHERS …www.2pats.com…are still in the exploration phase of streamlining an Autism Charity Program to couple VCRA efforts with the 2012 Greatrace. We will keep you posted as to the progress of this program. Your support is truly appreciated.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RALLY SPEEDOMETER….we wish we could help. We have not been successful in locating any used units in recent weeks. We already have a waiting list should we locate any units. The good news is….Timewise has new units available now. Look in our classifieds section for order details.

APRIL 20-21, 2012 IN BRANSON,MO…is the date for the spring Branson Collector Car Auction. www.bransonauction.com It’s a couple of weeks before the rally, so you got plenty of time to attend a great classic, antique, muscle and vintage car auction. Jim and Kathy Cox, owners, always have a great offering on tap.. Whether you are a buyer or selling, your always welcome. Come see your friends and have a great weekend!

NEXT RALLY…is the 2012 Sugar Valley Rally in Scottsbluff, NE,m June 1-3, 2012…details posted as soon as available…then it’s the GREATRACE 2012. Check out all detail on www.greatrace.com All rally info available is posted on the “Future Rallies” section.

THE “ALL STARS FOR AUTISM” rally…is finalized…routes established, pit stops assigned, lunch stops arranged, hotel arrangements made… Yep, we are on schedule for our part….Question is, are you ready?? Here it is in a nutshell!!! Based on a cloverleaf concept, each day begins and ends at the Embassy Suites Hotel..

Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday is reserved for registration and a mandatory meeting/ rally school. Check the schedule for all details.

Stage one will take the racers to Stillwell, OK for a pit stop, then loop back to a lunch stop in Alma, AR. Then it’s a trip through the Boston Mountains headed back to Rogers. Once you arrive, there will be a seminar for those that wonder “what did I do wrong?”

Stage two takes us to a fantastic “Hosted” lunch stop at the “Armory Municipal Center” in Tahlequah, OK hosted by Gary Chatman of the Bank of Cherokee County and the Chamber of Commerce. Then it’s rally time back to the hotel for a leisure evening at the old watering hole!!

Stage three loops up through Silegman, MO for a pit stop, then back to the hotel for a great awards luncheon, where the winners will be announced.

Each morning the hotel provides all racers a delicious complimentary breakfast, and, a finger food and beverage reception each evening. Who could ask for anything more!!!! It’s a competitive rally for the veteran racers as well as a great place for rookies and first timers to learn from the pros. Join in on the fun and enter now!!!

VCRA HAS “OFFICIAL CLOCKS” FOR SALE… VCRA recently acquired a few GR/ VCRA officially approved rally clocks featuring sweep second hand and easy to read face powered by one AA battery. The good news is, we were able to talk the clock-master into making a few clocks…the bad news is, they cost more now!!

The cost is $130.00 including shipping anywhere in the US. Call 918-801-2406 or e-mail your order.
