TORC PARTY AND AWARDS! Feb 20!
Time to speak up! Let's help the organizing crew figure food/booze out ASAP.
All are welcome, club member or not!
This is a casual and relaxed event. Just enjoy yourselves!
When: February 20!
Time: 12:00pm.
Cost: $20 adults. ($10 for kids 12 and under I believe, but to be confirmed with Heather)
Cash Bar: YES!
Ticket DEALDLINE!: Feb 1
Actual meal specs will be updated later... they are pricing out two options. There will be Veggie meals for those that want also. Cash bar. You don't have to pre-pay for the dinner tickets as we realize many are coming from out of town, but you MUST let us know you are attending PRIOR TO FEB 1ST so we can figure out food and drinks. I'll keep a list on here of who I know is attending. If you are after that dead line, you are still welcome to the party, just no meal, or sweet talk Heather.
The location will be the historic Toronto Hydroplane and Sailing Club in the beaches distric of Toronto. This is where the idea of TORC began almost 60 years ago. The huge trophy case dedicated to Don MacDonald and racings past it very cool to look over. Miss Supertest's UIM world speed record certificate on display too. Lots of parking in the lot just past the driveway into the club house. Parking in the actual club house is very limited. Hotel a short walk/cab ride away.
Awards for TORC High Point Champion in each class will be handed out.
High Point criteria: TORC Member belonging to APBA or CBF. Collecting points: All CBF/APBA joint sanctioned races count start after the driver joined TORC.
Larry Wills Memorial Award - Outstanding Performance and Sportsmanship/Involvement
Norm Thinel Memorial Award - Best New Driver
(Best New Driver eligibility - a rookie in the last two years, or a driver changing classes in last two years)
Jack Abel Memorial Award - Outstanding contribution by a TORC member or sponsor to Outboard racing
We'll also hand out a couple CBF award that haven't been delivered yet if those winner are in attendance.
CBF Rookie of the Year for Outboard
CBF Eric Wolff Award
25SSH High Point Champion
There will also be a 50-50 draw and a silent auction... if you are willing to donate a new item to the silent auction, please bring it! Maybe your company has access to event tickets? Maybe a gift certificate/card to something/somewhere? Maybe you got a cool gift for Christmas but already had one?
This should be a great time! We booked the room until 7pm! So no one will be ushering us out this year. We'll be able to enjoy ourselves and remember the good times and rib about the racing next year! Rookies, don't be shy... great time to come out and meet some great people!
Last year there was about 50 people!
