\nOf course, we’re still a few weeks out, so nearly all of this is\u00a0potentially subject to change<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In an attempt to organize the notes that I took, I’m going to go as chronologically as I can from the perspective of the races themselves:<\/p>\n
- \n
- First off, neither Chrysler nor 4moms will be sponsoring this year due to scheduling conflicts of some key people. They have been great to us over the last 2 years and we hope that we can connect again in the future.<\/li>\n

<\/a>In their place, talks with GoDaddy have been in the works and though Danica Patrick so far hasn’t confirmed, there has been talk of their NASCAR car being present around design comp and the course. They also have been interested in throwing a bbq for the teams after all the races, but just like Danica, this hasn’t been confirmed.<\/li>\n- Early on in the planning effort, there were rumors of construction that would potentially be happening in the gym during design comp. I am here to tell you today that those rumors are false and we will have the entire gym like we do every year.\n

- Related to this, buggy books will again be on sale with a likely sponsorship from us here at the BAA. With an added twist, these books will contain the day 1 preliminary heats which may be decided as early as the week after spring break.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

Before the races even start, WRCT is planning a 2 hour pre-race broadcast at 7pm on thursday night. They want to get alumni and students to come on and talk about different aspects of the sport from as many angles as possible. These speakers will also not be the same people as who will be in the booth for the races to get a larger variety of voices.\u00a0This is something that used to run in the past, but no one could remember the last year that it was officially run. If you remember these broadcasts hopefully you can help excite people about it, ’cause we’re pretty excited!<\/li>\n- Carnival Committee has been reaching out to anyone that has fun old buggy photos to put in their carnival history museum, the location to which hasn’t yet been revealed (to my knowledge).<\/li>\n
- Tom’s talk will be held in Giant Eagle Auditorium, so make sure you sign up if you haven’t already!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
