Quiet Season so far...

With another Driving School in the record books, this season has been a good one for the drivers and event participants. The most Rescue has had to do is a couple of flat tows over the course of the events so far. I hear that the CRA folks have been far busier. With BMW this weekend, I am hoping that the quiet trend continues. This weekend should be fun as the Show and Go folks are also at the track for their Drag Strip event, so between the two venues it should be entertaining. Hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day activities. See you at the track.

Nord Stern Opens Season at BIR

Sunday, May 03 2009 @ 12:21 PM CDT
Contributed by: RLRescue
Views: 399

As we step into May, the Season at BIR opened last weekend with the Nord Stern folks spending the last weekend in April at the track in the long course. There is not much to report other than the excellent day on Saturday and the wet and cold day on sunday. Rescue was limited to one flat tow from the new surface at 8 and a tow from drivers left at 8. (separate incidents). The drivers left incident was about 3 feet from being a ker-sploosh and was just shy of the water there. Ryan did a great job getting the car clear without getting really wet in the process.

Tomorrow (4th) the Driving School opens it's season with a rather aggressive schedule. There are a number of weekday events for the school this year. These events tend to be harder to fill with staff so if you are available on a weekday I can use the crews.

Lastly on a schedule note, The NARRA has canceled the May weekend for the track. BIR is working on a option for the comp course for memorial day but as of this writing I have not gotten word on if that is a go or not.

That's everything in a nutshell. Play Safe out there.

April Update

I hope eyeryone had a Happy Easter and your weekend went well for you.

Quick Item: please take the time to answer the poll I just posted about the annual meeting (if you didn't make it). bottom left. Thanks.

As for that 'racing thing' the first event of the season is rapidly approaching. Nord stern is going to be at the track in 13 days. Lets hope that Mother Nature is done with the snow thing for the first half of the year. It's interesting to lap the track with fresh snow covering everything but I'd prefer that I could actually SEE the track.

The schedule has ben posted and pretty much filled for the month of May with some addition help that could be used on the PDS days. If you are seeing this but not getting the e-mails please let me know. I sent an e-mail reminder shortly after this article was posted so you should have at least one e-mail from Red Light.

Lastly for Rally types Nemadji Trails has their website up. if you have interest head off to the site and register.

See you in 13 days! Stay Safe.

March Updates (Round 2.1)

Contributed by: RLRescue
Views: 462

Updates since last posted: (2.1)
Just got the Calendar form BIR for the season. Here are the dates I am adding,
4/30-Track Addix, 5/8 & 7/2-Slowpokes, August 7-9-SCCA-LOL. The April 30 Track addix is still not confirmed from the Track Addix side but the date is set aside by BIR.

Couple of new things this week: (2.0)

First again a reminder of the date change for the pre-season event to 4/4 This is a week earlier than originally posted as the 4/11 date is Easter weekend.

Second there is another group that has rented the track and asked for Red Light Help with the event. This s the Mini Cooper group and they are planning their 50th anniversary event at BIR, June 26-28. I'll be adding this to the calender.

Lastly there is some word that the Nemadji Trails folks are planning a 3 day-4 event season on 5/9, 6/13 and 7/25. These dates are also posted to the calendar.

That is all for now. Start watching your e-mail as the season starts rampimg up I'll be back at e-mailing all of you for activities.

DATE CHANGE!!!!

Friday, March 13 2009 @ 08:17 PM CDT

Views: 458

NOTICE: DATE CHANGE for the annual pre-season event. It would help when deciding on dates if the software you use to look at a calendar would show the HOLIDAYS for the current year. April 12 is Easter Sunday SO the preseason event is being shifted BACK a week to April 4. I'll compete with a lot of different things, but a higher power I shall not.

SO Pre Season Event is April 4. NOT April 11.

See you there.

March Updates

Hello All. Some updates for March: First there is a new group at BIR this year. NARRA. North American Road Racing Association. Red Light has tentatively been asked to work their events with corner and rescue staff. This group bought out the Viper days folks and the Corvette days folks and is doing BOTH at their first event. RLR is working to be sure that this event is consistent with our other events.

Second: the annual pre-season event is scheduled for 4/11 at RLR HQ. Format is the same as in the past. More on that in the next few weeks via e-mail.

Look for your first e-mail. I am sending this out via e-mail so if you didn'tget this via e-mail I don't have your current/correct e-mail on my system. Please let me know that.

Lastly - I have the April/May events up on the white board and I am taking names. Check the calendar and reply to the e-mail to add your name to the list.

That is all for now, enjoy your spring weather and remember, racing is only about 6 weeks away.

Schedule Updates

Today I have a couple of updates for you.

I got a call from Dean with Track Addix today. Track Addix again this year is requesting our services for their events. I have added the dates to the RLR calendar. Couple of things of note, First the 4/30 date is tentative at this time. As the date gets closer I'll advise. Second, there are two events (July and September) that have been changed to being two day events. Please make a note of that as you plan your schedule. Both of these 2 day events are on weekends so that might make staffing a little easier.

Second, I have gone to the CRA site and see that they have also posted their 2009 schedule for BIR. This schedule has also been added to the RLR Calendar. RLR does NOT staff these CRA events as a company, but for planning I feel that there are inquiring minds will want to know that info as they might want to work those CRA events..

As I get additional schedule updates I will post them. As the season starts to draw near start watching the site for updates. During the next 8 weeks things will start popping and you should start looking for e-mail updates in about 2 weeks.

February News Items

Hello All. I hope that you are keeping warm so far this winter. There are a couple of "news" updates and dates that have been added to the Events calendar that are worthy of note.

First is that the date of the RLR Pre-season Social is planned for 4/11 Same drill as in past years. More details by E-mail in March. If you don't see an e-mail I don't have you on the Red Light E-mail list and I need that so I can fix that.

Training options have also been added. For those with EMT training North Memorial has the "Long Hot Summer" training scheduled for March 6-7 this year.

Skywarn has also posted their training schedule. With due thanks to Lisa Vandermark for reminding me, the website for their schedule is: http://metroskywarn.org/sked.html

New Year Updates

Well I'll start this on a positive note and say Happy New Year to you and yours! I was working so my new year night was in the sleeper of a truck in St. Louis, MO. This message is coming to you from Denver, CO and I'm heading to Butte, MO and then Joliette, IL before I head for the house. So I have a fun week ahead of me. From a humor standpoint the drive over here was interesting as a number of folks decided to start the new year by "racing into" it. I saw a number of cars receiving their "certificates of high speed merit" on both the first and today the second of January. Nothing like that first ticket to start the new year, eh? (not for me)

This morning I got a call from Laurie Eckman. I'll elaborate on that in a second. I just got off the phone with her again a short while ago. This is was not good news...

Holiday Wishes

As of this writing Christmas is just a day or two away. For those of you surfing thru and those that have worked with us in the past year I'd like to take the time to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Again this year we will NOT have the new year bash but will combine that with the pre-season event in late March/Early April. (still looking for a date suggestion)

Look for an e-mail near the first part of Jan with any 1099 data that will be submitted, and then look for the form nearer to the end of Jan. If you don't see an e-mail you won't see a 1099.

Stay safe out there and stay warm.....
