Folks,
The Washington DC Region, SCCA will have its annual awards banquet in
Virginia (Near the Beltway). We thought this would be a good time to
have our first official exploration into the materials Dave Roethel
bequeathed to the Region. There are many unidentified photos,
magazines, entry lists (?) etc. etc. This exploration is scheduled
tentatively for early morning til maybe noon, although that's not
cast in stone. That evening the Region will have its awards ceremony
and I will present a brief Marlboro or other historical video
presentation.

I'd like to invite your participation in the Roethel materials
exploration and identification. The Region will cover the cost of
having a court steno or videographer to record our stories,
anecdotes, etc. Additionally, it may be possible to cover room
accomodations for some of you who must travel a significant distance
to get to the event. I can't give you an exact number right now
because I have no idea how many people plan on particiapting. I do
know that Sue Roethel and a few others plan to be there. To that end,
if you would like to be there on the 20th, please let me know as soon
as possible. I need to give the Region some numbers so they can make
budgetary/planning decisions.

Having had a quick look at Dave's materials, I doubt that one such
meeting will suffice to ID everything. But we need to begin, and this
is an excellent time since many of us are normally not racing at this
time of the year.

I will get back to you folks with an update during the next week or
so and update you on the number of participants we're looking at. I
may have mroe specifics then for you as well. In the meantime, please
let me know if you're interested and whether or not accomodations
would be necessary.

This ought to be quite a bit of fun and an excellent opportunity to
share memories from a wonderful era of sports cars and sports car
racing. Please let me know!
