2009 Tour

It's never too early to start thinking about next year's tour. In what will be a historic passing of the command baton from generation to generation--and despite deep-seated reservations from more sober-minded family members--Mike, Sean, and Tom will be in charge of the strategy, tactics, and logistics in planning and executing the 2009 Doughty 500.

They will obviously need all the help they can get so please feel free to pass on any and all ideas that you have for making the tour better than ever. I have quite a few myself and will be making them known soon. For now, let me throw this one out there:

How about an annual Doughty 500 golf tournament during the tour? Play a scramble format so any hack (like Jay) would feel comforaable playing. Set aside the same day of the week for it each year, have prizes awarded, maybe a group dinner afterward, and even come up with a special Model T releated trophy (must have the ability for victors to drink out of like the Stanley Cup). Something to think about.
