Fall Lightning gathering---Sticky please
The time has come once again for the LOOK fall Lightning gathering. This is our 3rd annual event and we are looking for a spiffier name; if you’ve got any ideas let us know. The event will be held 6-7 November 2004 in Tulsa, OK. The rain date will be the following weekend, 13-14 November. Everyone is welcome to attend. The event will be geared towards Lightnings, but all SVT vehicles are encouraged to attend.
On the 6th we will be racing at Tulsa Raceway Park. We will not have the track to ourselves because it will be a regular test and tune day. For those of you who don’t know, our track has been sold and is currently being completely renovated. The racing surface is brand new and absolutely awesome. If there is sufficient interest we will have some sort of Lightning shootout. How the rules go is dependent on who wants to race. We’ll try to make it as fair as we can, maybe even make it a handicap event. It will be $10/truck (in addition to gate fees) to enter the shootout. Half of the money will go to charity, 30% will go to the winner and 20% will go to the runner up. We are working on getting some prizes together for this event, no guarantees. If there are enough Cobras and Foci we will do a class for them as well. All classes will have to be street tires only because that is the only way we will be able to pair up the cars to run against each other. A street tire is a regular radial or a drag radial. DOT slicks are usually not allowed in the street tire lanes, but it often depends on how many people are there.
On the 7th we will have a picnic at Haikey Creek Park. LOOK members will provide the food. I do ask that you try to RSVP for the picnic so we will know about how many mouths we will need to feed. There is no charge for this, but donations are welcome to help offset the cost because it is not cheap. In the event that the donations exceed the cost of the event, all extra will be donated to charity. If you would like to make a charitable donation in the name of this event, just tell us that’s what you want to do. The charity for the event will be the Victory Junction Gang Camp.
Last year we had 25 trucks from 5 different states here. Hopefully we will have even more this year. I’m looking forward to seeing you here.
We currently have one sponsor. Quick Trip will be donating snack items for the picnic. If you are a supporting vendor and would like to sponsor this event in some way, we would love to have your support.

I'll also copy it to the events Forum.
BTW, since I'm here, we will be invading a Sonic Drive In for their weekly Saturday night cruise.
We now have a name for the event: Lightning Thunder. Since this is the third of these events this will be Lightning Thunder 3.
