Saturday May 15th 11-1 Rick Bristol will host a cook out, meeting at Speedworld !

[Rick B.]

I want to invite all drivers all divisions, drivers that have been racing, drivers that have not been racing at Speedworld for what ever reasons. Please come and sit down with me and lets talk and see what can be done to get everyone back racing again at Orlando. I care a lot for the track, its drivers and its employees. I want to try to improve things, make it fun, friendly, fair and professional. Please come I will supply Hamburgers & Hotdogs with fixins and paper plate & Napkins. I ask you to bring a dish to pass, and your drinks. Please no alchohol for this meeting, so that we can all be clear minded to talk. Please let me know if you are planning on coming, so I can plan count for meat quanity. I need your help to spread the word please contact all drivers you know, all that are not racing ask them to please come. I want you to do this favor for me, bring with you a paper with the top 5 things you would like to see happen or be changed, then please write the top five things you like about Orlando. Please, Please, Please try to be here, have constructive ideas, and be open with me. I need you help, and I am willing to work hard for you and in Orlando to try to help Speedworld. PLease call me at 407-497-0448 or e-mail me at rbmini68@aol.com. I need to know by next Thursday night the 13th, so I can buy the stuff. Also if you have a gas grill that can be brought please let me know. I need to start cooking at 10 to prepare, so please let me know. I have one, but may need another. Thanks and I really hope you will join me.

To make clear

This is for drivers, car owners and families only. I want the opportunity to meet with you all, where you have freedom to speak ideas, complaints and suggestions. I again ask you to please advise if you will attend and how many with you. I ask again that you bring a paper with 5 things you would like to see changed, tried etc. I also would like you to list 5 things that we do well at Orlando or you feel are good at Orlando. I hope you will come and meet. I want this to be a contructive, idea filled, cooperative effort to turn the track around. If you hold your thoughts and ideas, it can not help. If we truly want to have a great place to race we must work together in the times we are in right now. The easiest thing you all can say if raise the purses, but we know that is not the only major issues. Please present ideas for solutions, many of the issues are known. I appreciate it and surely hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Thanks

Just a reminder !

I need to know if your planning to come, so I can plan how much meat to buy etc. Please let me know by Wednesday. Remember driver, car owners and their direct family only please. You can call me and tell me how many at 407-497-0448 or e-mail me rbmini68@aol.com. Also reminder please bring dish to pass per family and a utensil for it, and your drinks. If we do not have very many coming, I will cancel it Thursday if I have not heard from you. It is an open chance for you to talk, give ideas etc. Please tell drivers who are not racing to come as well, we need all of you. If you can not come because of work or something, please e-mail me your 5 requests and 5 things you like at Orlando, so we can consider it. Thanks and I hope you will be there !

[Rick B.]

To date only 5 people have told me they are coming !

Well only five people so far have committed to coming, I need to hear from you by Thursday, so I can plan for meat or cancel the event. I will say I am a bit disappointed that more have not committed to coming, I am trying to give you a voice and opportunity to be part of a solution. Please, try to come, and let me know asap. Thanks

Rick,
Just curious if you have made any phone calls or posted on any other web sites? Hard to believe there are only 5 people interested but there may be many more that just haven't heard. Good luck.

[straight up]

could also be the time and day is a conflict . being a saturday , maybe most who would like to come are busy getting ready to race somewhere or have other commitments .
