Topic: Gingerman Anniversary Race Potluck/Block Party
A number of the regular Midwest teams have been discussing this for over a month but Judge Phil threw down the gauntlet last night...we are challenged to top the Block Party thrown at CMP each year that includes something like two tons of smoked-on-site pork plus an equal volume of sides brought by all the other teams. I do not think any of us have the smoker to compete with that, but let’s see what we can do.
The "Usual Suspects" have all but two of the electrified reserved paddock spaces between the timing tower and the gate on the track side. This includes Team Bad Decisions (12), Apocalyptic & Burnt Rubber Soul (7-9), Morrow's (??), Cabinboy (forget the team name 13 &14), Product Design & SkyPasiv (10 & 11)...etc.
So the plan is to have as many teams a reasonable bring a dish, preferably for 20-40 people (expected turn-out is well over 600 people), sign up on the attached google sheet for your team, what you are bringing, what day and a contact email. Those that cannot access the sheet just PM me and I will add you. Three days before the race I will send a mass email with assignments of what paddock space to bring your food to (1-18).

Keep in mind, you don't have to cook or prep this yourself...South Haven has places that can do bulk food including a Walmart Supercenter and many, many restaurants. Also, if you need access to a paddock or our handy electricity ahead of time, just PM me. Travelling and need to know if someone can bring X to cook your item on...same thing, PM me.
The owners of the paddock spaces in question will move a serving table out on the road by 6 PM Friday (pending final word from HQ on their plans) and/or 30 minutes after the checker on Saturday. Preferred to have some shade as well so move the Ezup out there if you can.
Please be aware that there are unconfirmed reports of HQ feeding us one of the nights so we may go down to one night for the Potluck but I suspect the Block Party might happen both nights regardless. Put your primary dish down for Friday night and if we do go down to one, I will send that out in the email...but feel free to bring more!
I suggest that folks plan on bringing seating, a beverage or two and a healthy appetite for food and good company.
PS Everyone that has a reserved spot please let me know the number. I have gathered quite a few of them but not a complete list.
