Last year young Greg Piasta walked away with the $500 1st Place prize monies. Greg's consistency paid off for him.
Again this year, the Challenge formats will reward consistency. Once seeded participants will be running off their individual scratch times against their competitor, not PAX. But don't think you can get away trying to sand bag... 150% penalty factor will be applied against breakout runs, making it very difficult to proceed further in the Challenge.
Attached find the event details. Registration will open soon. Remember event entries will be capped and everyone will participate in one of the Challenges Sunday afternoon.

This event is coming up and I am getting questions on this so here's a "bump"! :)
-
Registration is now open:

msreg.com/fatkatday2 (http://msreg.com/fatkatday2)

First, at registering. You gotta win at something.
Already saw that this morning and registered.

Just a reminder for those registering on Day 1 and paying the weekend, 2 day, rate...
You still need to register for Day 2. It will come up as N/C on checkout.
Alternately you can pay for Day 1 and / or Day 2 separately.
And don't forget... all entrants on Sunday will be in a Challenge that afternoon for prize monies.

Eek -- didn't see that. Wayne -- could you please send an email to all the current registrants with this reminder? And perhaps make a note on MSR to this effect. If we have people missing for Sunday's event, check-in is going to be painful.

i'll do an audit after registration closes and manually sign up people for Sunday if they paid for both days and havent signed up for Sunday.

Are we doing setup on Friday like usual or just Saturday morning (per the schedule on MSReg)?
-
I'm available to help with set up on Friday if needed👍

I think this is over 1/2 of the entries.
Maybe if anyone reads this and did not sign up for Sunday "manually" (e.g. purchased the 2-day pkg but did not go to the Sunday site), you can go back and help us out and sign up here:
msreg.com/fatkatday2
As Wayne said above there is no cost. You can check by going there also and seeing if you are there on the Sunday list.
thx

Since it's so hot these couple days I plan to setup Friday evening starting a bit later when it's cooler. I'm thinking 7pm.
I could use the help of say...4 people officially to do the work. Also need assistance at lunch on Saturday to reverse the course. Helping with these two tasks can count as your work assignment for Saturday. If you are interested, please contact Stephen H (pedalfaster on this forum or stephen.hui-at-live-dot-com without the period) who is in charge of workers for the event. Can't guarantee you'll get the work assignment even if requested depends on number and group split.
Thanks All

I should be able to help out tomorrow night with setup.
-
I'll be there tomorrow night for 7
No problem

I cant make the Friday setup, but I can help with the change at lunch time if required.

Does anyone have a gas powered blower they could bring with them on Saturday? We'd like to blow away some of the flour lines for course reversal.

A full audit isn't really required. I tested The MJTiming software will happily import Sunday's drivers and merge them with Saturday's. At present, there are three drivers registered for Sunday only.
-
Upon reading the Saturday event that it is a 2 day event, I mistakenly assumed that registering for Saturday automatically keeps me in for Sunday. I meant to do Sunday as well.
-
If you paid for both days, then you are good for Sunday as well.

Had a blast out there today!
Really enjoyed the track switch up, each way had much different elements, glad I made it out !
But .. I felt left out being the only big wing out there, get t together people hahaha!

Attached find the initial 32 qualifiers for Sunday's 'FAT KAT' Challenge.
The final 16 qualifiers will be determined tomorrow morning.
All remaining entrants will be entered into the Consolation Challenge.
Remember... Consistency is key.
All entrants scratch times for the challenges will be determined by their RAW times on Sunday morning.
To ensure no one carries sand into the challenges, all cones will be removed from entrants times to determine their scratch times. Also... anyone breaking out (running faster than their scratch time) will have a new scratch time assigned with a 150% penalty factor, to their next round.
-
Huh, would you look at that, I've qualified, I thought for sure I was going to be playing in the consolation round. So does Q32 mean that I was the last qualifier from the afternoon?
-
Correct
-
That was a huge amount of fun, thanks for putting it together again this year Wayne.

You’re welcome.

Wayne, thanks so much for putting this event together. It was awesome! Had total fun! Rick

Awesome weekend! Thanks to Wayne for organizing another fun successful Fat Kat Challenge. Thanks also to Ryan and Ambrose for great course designs.

Well folks... it's another wrap... the 'FAT KAT' Challenge for 2018.
Many thanks to our sponsor Overtime Rentals for prize money again this year.
Miraculously we got the Final 3 runs in before the deluge.
Unfortunately we did not get to celebrate with an Awards Presentation.
Thanks to those who braved the rain and helped clean up.
Consistency, OK along with some sprinkling of sand, was the order of the day, if you wanted to advance in the challenge rounds
Group #1 Clara (#11) managed her sand pile nicely throughout the challenge and was into the Final 3 beating Jared (#43) by a slim 0.850 sec
Group #2 Scott (#711) benefited from a coned run by Jess (#92) to advance to the Final 3
Group #3 Doug (#411) managed his sand pile nicely through the challenge as well and was into the Final 3 beating myself (#180) by a scant 0.105 sec
FINAL 3 Shoot Out
All 3 final runs were clean with Doug taking home 3rd Place prize money ($100), Clara using a 0.297 sec advantage over Doug to take home ($300) 2nd Place prize money... and then there was Scott, mister consistent saving his 0.048 sec break out on his final run to take home 1st Place prize money ($500).
Congratulations Scott!! Good driving today.
The Consolation Challenge winner was Faniel (#700) taking home $100.
-
Thank you everyone who helped set this up, the course was very intimidating at first but lots of fun!
All in all a great way to spend the weekend.
Bill
Definitely, two days of fun for sure!
-
Thanks for an amazing weekend team! I like the format that included a season event and the single day Fat Kat.
As an aside, I misplaced a visor for my helmet in grid. In case it was found, i thought I'd mention it here.
