*** ANOTHER LETTER FROM THE DRRA PRESIDENT TOM D'EATH
TO: All 2003 Gold Cup Stakeholders
We're down to the final planning for the Gold Cup and things are
looking great. Here's an update on what's happened since my
last letter:
* We had a volunteer meeting at the COBO Conference and
Exhibition Center. We were pleased with the attendance - about
150 people showed up to offer their help. Most of the critical
committees will be lead by their 2002 chair. I want to express
my thanks to all of you who have jumped in with both feet to do
what it takes to make the event a success.
* We've confirmed we'll be doing a three-day event beginning
Friday, August 22. There will be no activities on Thursday.
The program will include the Gold Cup race, a sweepstakes/free-
for-all race for any racing hulls between 17 and 27 feet, jersey
speed skiffs, vintage fly-bys, and extreme water sports
exhibitions..
* We've obtained lists of prior ticket holders and have made a
lot of phone calls letting people know about the race. We're
trying to make sure everybody gets their same seats they had
last year or better seats. We still have a lot of prime seats
left if so if you or someone you know still needs tickets it's
a good time to get on board. Buying tickets this year could
improve your seating for future races. Call us at 586.774.APBA
/ 586.774.2722 to purchase your seats.
* The official race program has gone to print.
* We have 37 founders club members who have each donated $100
or more to help make the event a success. If you'd like to
show your support, become a DRRA member. We still need more
members to make our budget goals.
* New city regulations over park use have presented some serious
parking challenges. City grass is off limits, so most of our
prior parking areas are not available. We've organized remote
parking at the Cassens Transport lot on the corner of Connor
and Freud. Parking at that site will be $5 with a free shuttle
service to the parks throughout the event.
* Parking at the Bill Muncey Lot will be available by advance
purchase only at a rate of $50 for a three-day pass (Friday,
Saturday and Sunday).
If you've already bought your tickets, become a member of DRRA
or volunteered to help - thanks a lot. If you've been meaning
to but just haven't gotten around to it - now is the time!
Best Regards,
Thomas D'Eath
