ROTORSTOCK  2

I am pleased to announce that due to overwhelming wishes and enthusiasm from Club members to hold this meeting again in 2005 that an agreement has been made with Shakespeare County Raceway and Japanese Performance Magazine that the meeting will expand to a full two day event and will this time not only feature the Drag Strip but also some sort of track events as well.

We will be inviting all the Japanese car clubs to attend this time to make this a one of a kind “Show n Go” event with your Club at the head of it. Over the last few months we have not only had six pages about Rotorstock in Japanese Performance but also an excellent two page article in Redline and this months issue of Fast Car (November) a further two good pages that not only cover Rotorstock but also promote your Club. I look forward to more members playing active roles not only assisting with the actual event but also by finding ways of raising funds via donations or sponsorships to help it become bigger and better as the years progress.

So put please put May 29th & 30th 2005 in your now and help and support this as much as you can, remember no other Japanese car club organizes anything approaching what we all now do event wise

O/K what will be different next year.

1/  We will invite ALL the clubs next year to enter the quickest cars of their marque, so we can\'t get let down by the no show guys that caused us so many problems last time, this way the meeting will take on an Australian Jamboree feel to it but with ourselves and Mazda at the head of it.

2/   I am talking with the promoters of this years JAE to try and get them on board to make this event huge, but they   will want a fee.  

3/ I feel we need a stand alone RotorStock website built, obviously linked to our\'s, because the feed back tells me that people found it very confusing searching our site for RotorStock.

I am hopeing that with all the I.T. guys we have on board that people will come forward and build a RotorStock site/forum for us, this would be filled with all of R1\'s pictures etc and be a news source for R2.

BTW we do own //www.RotorStock.com  

4/ The prices will be the same as the Pod next time and not dearer!

5/ As  devised by our members because of problems with R1, MRC will next time handle the timing of the cars.

6/ Face to face meetings will be held between MRC, the track and the Mags so everyone knows what is developing with R2 all the time.

7/ As many of you know there was no annoy system to tell people what was going on and when, that will not happen with R2.

8/ The track has enough room to set up possibly a Drift track and an Autotest area as this will give people who have no wish to go up the strip other things to do.

9/ Concerning No7, l have thought that if MRC were allowed to set up and run the \'other\' track events with our own volunteers we could maybe charge a pound a lap to put some money back into MRC.

10/ In spite of the good people who helped financially with R1 the event was a huge strain on Mazdarotaryclub, so this time we need more help locating funds through not only title sponsors for the event but also ways of putting money back into MRC.

11/ l have already informed Mazda of the event but there is no reason for other clubs not to bring their marque with them.
 
12/  As pleased as we were that Mazda attended R1 I will try to get more assistance from them for R2 and they will hopfully see R2 as a good opportunity to showcase themselves to the other Japanese marque\'s.

13/ We will need ways of getting this meeting \'buzzing\' around the forums as the event to BE AT for 2005.

14/ We will this time need on site \'event helpers\' from Friday or maybe even Thursday this time.

15/ Please note we need your help to make this the best event of 2005 if possible, remember this is YOUR club that is staging this event and it needs your help.

16/  Don\'t forget that with the AGM coming up l hope that many of you will attend as this will be one of the topics discussed there.

17/   I now welcome not only your thoughts but also your physical input about the above and how to build on what we have already archived with this great club.


Please keep this thread for your RotorStock ideas and comments and note that off thread posts will be removed because we need this thread for constructive help towards making your clubs main event for 2005 a success.

Clive,

This is great news!

I\'ll sort the website stuff (we\'ll need to pay for hosting, and another copy of Forum software).  I\'ll email you with details.

[Ric]

Nice one. I\'m willing to help out in any way I can Clive. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

[Big Stu]

Stu

[grinder]

i may not be the best - but my time is free

[BlitzBoy]

I think we should have two different classes of the shootout one for tuners/Pros and one for Privateers/Amateurs

[MikeLMR]

you can stick me down for helping out of the event weekend ... 3 days 4 days whatever it turns out to be.  As last time, time before the event will be limited due to our club road rally running shortly before RS2

[scooby_si]

Hi Clive,
Good hear. I will be providing the Savanna cup again, and one other for a different catagory. May i suggest that with ref to the strip, we have two catagories depending on tyre used. ie drag radial and road tyre, due to the money needed to safely use drag tires.
I will be more than happy to help where i can. I will also endeavour to get more numbers from Europe.

Love to help not getting married this year so should be available;)

If there is a drift circuit we could see if drifworks want to get involved, Lee would know better than me if its the type of thing they would like to do.

They will do pretty much anything thats gets them a place drive, but would obviously need more info on a few things.

From what I saw last time I cant think where it would be run but there was a lot of space I didnt even look at as there wasnt much point leaving the strip/paddock area.

Count me in to help out as well. Whatever days required.  
I’m not any use on the IT front though. L

I read in Banzai this month that Mazda recently organised a track day to show off their range, perhaps they would be prepared to do something similar at RS2?

As many different kinds of track action as possible would be good, perhaps Lee and the driftworks crew would take passengers for a small donation to MRC (split with driftworks if necessary to offset tyre costs.)

I’d suggest that good running times need proven for the other marques so we are sure to have some fast cars there.  Shouldn’t be much to ask for.

If one of the photoshop experts here organises some sort of flyer for the event, I’ll print some and put them on every jap car I see.

Thanks

OK, just invited the car club that I run. Not having attended RS1 due to hearing about it last minute as I looked for a Rex, I guess it\'s a camp-over effort like JAE ?
Please count me in for any help I can give, I may even become a member of the club... !!!!

Need any promotion of a Northern nature give us a shout.

Mart.
