Thunderbolt DE:  Scott McKeown & Stover Babcock

                         Registration and/or Treasury will be handled by Stover. Gregg Wilson will help

                         with Tech. Hospitality will be handled by Bruce and Jon Walton. Steve Cohen

                         will help with web and t-shirt design. A total of 60 instructors are needed, and we

                         only have about 10 right now. Registration will go through clubregistration.com

                        and payment through PayPal. We are going to talk to Winner Porsche to see if a 

                         joint deal could be facilitated that would benefit them and us since they are look-

                         ing into track time for some of their customers. We are seriously thinking of

                        making the Friday of the event an Advanced Day for instructors for a few reasons.

                         Registration should open on July 9 with about a month solely for PCA members.

                        We are working on contingency plans for this October event.
