Doug, Randy, Mark & Alan, 
  
It seems the Connecticut location for LOG33 is no 
more. One of the board members of Lotus Ltd, Tony Vaccaro is the new chairman of 
LOG33 and has moved the event to New York near Watkins Glen on Aug 2-4. This is 
the same venue that was used for LOG7.  
  
I don't think this will have any impact on the 
WCLM, as the events are 1 month and 3000 miles apart.  
  
Tony posted the following on the USA7's list

Subj: Lotus Owners 
Gathering (LOG) 33 and the LOONYs

Hello all,

Bad news, LOG 33 in 
Limerock is no longer occurring.

GOOD NEWS! LOG33 IS AT WATKINS GLEN! AND 
WE’RE THE HOST CLUB! 

THE DATE: August 2, 3, and 4, 2013. For those that 
do not know, LOG is the national convention of the Lotus Ltd car club, which we 
are an affiliate of.

We (Brian and Tony) are co-chairing the event. What 
does this mean for you, the respectable LOONY member?

Nothing or 
something. Seriously. We are hosting the LOG due to the short time frame until 
the next LOG and the combined experience allows us to put on a LOG quickly and 
easily. We would like to invite any LOONY to join us in helping put on the LOG. 
We will have plenty of jobs to share so please let us know if you would be 
interested in joining us. If you do not want to join in helping during the 
weekend, that’s okay. We’ll still like you! Seriously, it really is no problem 
but we do hope everyone takes the opportunity to come to a Lotus Owners 
Gathering while it is in our backyard, even if you just wish to attend and not 
join in on the help. We would like to note that because of insurance 
requirements you must be a member of Lotus Ltd to attend the LOG and when you 
register as a non-member, your fee includes a one year membership. You also must 
be a member of Lotus Ltd to help us with the event.

Tony can tell you 
that there is a very satisfying feeling in doing a good LOG and this is really 
how our club got started when we all got together to do LOG 7, at the Glen, 25 
years ago.

Details for the LOG:
Host hotel is the Radisson in Corning, 
New York. Friday reception, Saturday Banquet, and possibly Sunday Dinner will be 
held at the host hotel. We will be at the track on Saturday for the concourse. 
Yes, you heard us right. We will be right back where we were, at LOG7, doing our 
panoramic photo and concourse at the infield of the track in the same place we 
did it 25 years ago. There will also be a laps and lunch event on Sunday for 
those interested. Track day: we are pleased to announce that the Porsche Club of 
Northern New Jersey has allowed our members to join in their 3-day track event. 
The track event will be held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you are 
interested in doing the track event please contact Tony for more information. 
You will have to register the very first day to get in, as their events fill up 
quickly.

Truthfully, we have most of the planning already done and we 
will need people on the ground Fri, Sat, and Sun to help us out. We will do a 
time line and everyone will have specific job to do at a specific time. Nobody 
but us will have to do that much during the weekend. In fact, Tony might even 
get to enjoy LOG now that he has Brian taking a lead role.

Some of the 
jobs that we are looking for help on:
Planning of the incoming rallys. we 
plan to have incoming rallys that will just be finding landmarks and such for 
people coming to LOG. We want to do one for each of the 4 major compass headings 
and we will award those trophies on Friday night.
People to help with the 
parking on Friday and placing of our signs along the route close to the 
hotel.
Setting up of the car wash area
Checking the incoming rally scores 
and letting us know who won.
Decorating the Reg room
Registration Room 
(both Friday and Sat morn)
Co-ordinating the tech sessions with the people 
doing them and the room assignments
Person to attend to the needs and offer 
help to whoever our speaker is
Poster ( I guess this is where I ask Frank if 
he wants to do another poster for LOG)
Setting up of the 
picture/crafts/models tables
Control of the water and setup of same at the 
concourse
Parking of cars for the concourse (Bill B and Don F have already 
volunteered for this)
Control of the door prizes. (if we have any) We believe 
Dave L has signed on for this. If you know of any potential advertisers or door 
prize donors, please let us know.
Counting of the ballots for the concourse 
(Dennis and Jane may have signed on for this but we need at least 2 
more)
Counting of the ballots for the photo/model/crafts contest
Cleanup 
of the concourse area at the Glen track
Decorating the banquet 
hall
Reading the liars and hard luck awards and awarding the 
prizes.
Return of the model/photos/crafts to LOG participants. Sat night and 
Sunday morn.
Autocross setup and all things associated with that, including 
getting the water to the event. We may have the SCCA do this for us, or we can 
do it ourselves. Arrangements have been made to have the timing and cones if we 
need them. Tentatively will be held at Ferrario Auto Team in Elmira.

We 
are sure there are things that we have missed but we wanted to get this out to 
all of you.
 
Please make your reservations at the Radisson, as they only have 170 rooms 
(we have blocked 150) and they will sell out. Mention the Lotus group to get the 
$129 rate,

We would like to apologize for us taking this on without 
talking to the rest of the LOONYs. But to be honest , if we had not jumped in, 
there would possibly not been LOG. We really have done a lot of this and since 
Tony has been involved in 3 LOGs and chaired 2 LOGS before, he really can “phone 
in” a lot of the pre-LOG arrangements. 

If you want to help out and 
whatever you help out with incurs expenses such as fuel or whatever, you will be 
reimbursed.

This will be a great LOG and we hope you all join 
in.

If you joining in on the planning and execution, please send Tony an 
email and he will put you on a special LOG email list for updates and 
directions.

Regards,
Brian and Tony Vaccaro
