2011 Decal Program - Indycar and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course
It's year number four, and I have the official word from Indycar - We are going to do the decal program this year, in conjunction with the Izod Indycar Series and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the race weekend of August 5-7.
I expect this to go as well as last year. We've all learned that sitting out on the track in the heat for long periods is as much of a good thing as black storm clouds approaching.....
Here is a quick breakdown of what we will do:
∙ we will put decals on our cars, approximately 4-6 weeks before the race weekend, and then show them off as much as possible. We will plan some photo meets and ops and take tons of pictures.
I hope to pass the decals out during the Arthritis Foundation Car Show in Dublin Ohio during the second weekend in July. That show is a great place to show-off the decals (plus, Mid-Ohio's offices are on there) and it saves me a lot of time and money handing them out in bulk.
∙ Mid-Ohio and/or Indycar may have some pre-race activities for us to attend (more photo ops), but more than likely, not. However, the track is under new ownership and they've put on this year's St Pete Indycar race, and will put on Toronto's.
This schedule has not been finalized and can change day-to-day because of the time demands of the Indycar drivers and their schedule. This may include some on-track activities - such as an S2000 parade with each carrying an Indycar driver or VIP or nobody
Verified with Mid-Ohio today (5/10)
Each participant (car) will receive;
- weekend General Admission tickets (two)
- paddock passes (two)
- a special infield parking pass (one)
We will have the same parking area as last year - this is a great spot!
Also, we may bet discount coupons for food, souvenirs, etc...

The max count is yet to be determined. We can decal 40 - 45, but this will be limited to Ohio folks and those in surrounding states (like last year.) There maybe fewer cars in the parade lap - tbd, assuming we have a parade lap. You must be part of the decal list to be considared for the parade lap. In the past, every car has been allowed to go out (even without a rider.)
Any S2000 can sport the decals, however, two obvious (to me) items for parade lap cars:
- You can't have a hardtop installed to do parade
- No rollcages - Drivers and VIPs aren't going to contort thru a jungle jim of tubing
I'll start a list below for the decal program only.
Use this thread for all questions - I will answer as soon as i can, and I will add info as it becomes available. Of course, all of this is subject to change without notice :whistle:
This is shaping up to be the Ohio event of the year - so spread the word! :blah:
As a side note, you are representing The Izod Indycar Series and The Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course - so if any word of street racing, drinking and driving, etc... get back to me, you are out of the program. If you have yellow party-plates on your car, then don't bother asking. You are more than welcome to join us at the races, but you cannot participate. Also, drive with courtesy - use your turn signals, let people in infront of you, wave back at the little kids, etc... Weaving in and out of traffic at 90mph isn't good for advertising.
Again, things are 99% finalized, so hopefully i can make things official very soon. If you want to get the decals for your S2000, PM the following info:
- Name (first and last), Address, Phone#, email, shirt size, and car color.
PM me, don't post it here and flood this thread. Updates are sure to follow.
I'd like to tidy this list up by mid-to-end of next week.
Thanks,
-Pete
Update;
Read what Mocky has written below concerning the entrance to the paddock...
Also, if you haven't done the decal program before and i have never personally met you, please type a little something about who you do know or what activities you are involved in concerning S2KI. Once your name is on the list - your in.
It's Back!....the 2011 Indy Decal program from S2Ki Ohio
