Default Event Cancellation: Thunder @ Stillwater II

Thunder at Stillwater II has been cancelled, due to insufficient registration to justify the event.

Jerry,

I am really sorry that this event had to be cancelled. I know that you are disappointed. Thank you very much for your effort to do all the planning.

Jim

Jerry, I am truly sorry, I am guilty of not registring, but was for sure planning on going. Maybe we could get a head count, and see if the event is salvagable?? I know all the work you put into this and makes me sick. pm me if there is Anything i can do?

For all who were planning to attend but had not enrolled, there was a deadline and it was yesterday. I'm really disappointed because I have not driven Hallett and was looking to meet others at the track for a little driving instruction and fun. I know Jerry had some other surprises for us too. Maybe we can reconstruct the event at a later date - next year?

Guys I would be SHOCKED ( and I know Jerry fairly well ) if he tried to get this off the ground again. I don't want to say this was a once in a lifetime opportunity but it had to be close.
The credibility factor alone has been damaged as it pertains to the VIP's that were invited. Some set other plans aside so they might participate for our benefit.
This has turned out to be an extreme let down. Jerry went through more time, effort, and resistance than many of you will ever know and while the response was favorable commitment was not enough in the end to justify.

Sorry this had to be cancelled. I understand what goes into putting something like this together. Hopefully in the future others will commit earlier so that coordinators can plan accordingly.

For those that did register, what should we look for in regards to refunds?

Those who registered will receive a full refund. The registrations were processed by me and forwarded to Jerry. The refunds will be forthcoming from the Registry Treasurer, Jeff Flint and he is aware of the situation. I'm not sure of the exact procedure but Jeff will take care of this very soon I'm sure.

Well folks, I'm very sorry to hear about the Stillwater event cancellation. I'm sure the economy has a lot to do with it. You know, even a weekend event costs a pretty penny these days and sometimes the 'ol cookie jar gets a little low. A special Thanks to Jerry and the folks who worked on putting this thing together. I know what it's like. But listen up. There may yet be a silver lining. I've been working on a special project for several months now but I didn't want to say anything for fear it might effect the Stillwater event participation. Now that it is gone, I'd like to clue you all in on what I think will be a very heartwarming and memorable experience. But first, here is the story of the original Stillwater event and if you prefer, you can visit our website and download the complete story in pdf form with full color pictures. Look under our "links" section at
http://www.AutoMastersofBG.com. You will also find the story behind The Legend Lives event. I think both of these are pertinent to what I'm going to update you on next.
