Coin Design Competition!
This year we will have a new AtomFest coin. Our plan is to keep the rear of the coin each year and create a new front side, complete with the unique serial number concept.

Anyone wishing to participate in the coin design competition may do so by submitting their design to me by PM. I will create a separate thread for the coin competition. I will post designs without revealing the contestants until after the voting is completed. Do not post your design on the Forum, as the voting needs to be anonymous. This competition is not restricted to Atom Club members or Atom owners. In other words, anyone can play! The winner will be awarded five coins for their ingenuity and initiative. see: http://forum.atomclub.com/index.php/topic,8347.0.html

As in 2007, http://www.atomfest.net will be updated to allow you to make your reservations, purchase official merchandise, make overnight lodging arrangements, etc.

Sponsors and Volunteers sought â??
We will try to keep the costs as low as possible so that everybody can afford to participate and attend this event. If you would like to provide sponsorship of any of the planned activities, either in full or in part, please contact me. Sponsors will be recognized in publications, announcements and during each of the sponsored events.

If you are willing and able to volunteer, you will be rewarded with free or discounted merchandise, recognition and of course the undying appreciation of the Atom community during the event.

We need:

• Photography
• Videography
• Autocross design, setup, timing & scoring
• Tech Seminar - Topics & presenters
• Lodging planning & setup

Stay tuned for more information.

Excited for sure!!  You have it all covered again it looks like...........except for maybe a Miss Atomfest pagent (Gate girl?).

I can see the Tulsa newspaper headlines now ......."Hallet hosts track event" with a photo of Miss Atomfest standing in a Atom toting a few pistols.    All of Oklahoma will show up.!! 

And Alaska, especially if we get to kill some moose... 

Nice work, Randy.  I'm really looking forward to it!  September should work much better for me, because October is always a meeting/travel heavy month.

Well done Randy.   I reallly hope I can make this one.  UK one is going to have to be sooooooooo good in 2010.  

Looking forward to reading the build up to this as we all get over excited as the dates get closer.

I will definitely be going to this but it won't be a flying visit like last time so I'll be looking for something to fill in a bit of time before and after as well.
