TORC PARTY AND AWARDS! Feb 26!
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 26!
Time: 12:00pm.
Cost: $20 adults. $10 for kids 12 and under
Cash Bar: YES!
Ticket DEALDLINE!: Feb 1
Actual meal specs will follow as they haven't been decided just yet. 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. If you are after that dead line, you are still welcome to attend the party.
The location will be the historic Toronto Hydroplane and Sailing Club in the beaches district 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 and reserved for the setup/catering team. Hotel a short walk/cab ride away.
Awards for TORC High Point Champion in each qualifying class will be handed out.
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
There will also be a 50-50 draw and a silent auction (It's what made the event break even last year... so please try and donate something if you can.)... 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! 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!
