There were 12 members at the meeting.

 

SCCA news - Kevin Dayo was hired as the IT manager. Kevin will be reporting to Mike Cobb, President of SCCA.

 

Road racing - Jeff Barrow left as directory of road racing, Sydney Davis Yagel is taking over for him.

 

There was as issue on Facebook with pronoun usage in SCCA documents, resulting from an update in Fast Track. This issue has been taken care of.

 

Discussion about EV classes, some tracks will not allow EV’s on course. To run them the regions need to check with track. There currently are two regional EV classes.

 

Super Tour and Runoffs® competitors are required to have Flagtronics in their car, they must also make sure that the Flagtronics information is in MSR. There was an all SCCA region meeting in March where this was discussed. Most of the remainder of discussions were on Track Night in America.

 

Runoffs will be at Road America again in 2025 and 2026.

 

Finger Lakes Region BOD meeting will be on April 16th, budgets for the Solo program and the Fun One will be presented at that time.

 

August 19 is the picnic, what do we want for food? The consensus from members at the meeting was hot dogs and hamburgers. Turn out was low last year, if we don't have more we may discontinue picnic. Looking at a brunch for 2025 year end party in 2026.

 

We would like to have people run for the board of directors.

 

Mike Toombs is running for Area 10 director and if elected is unsure if he will be able to continue as secretary.

 

Treasurer report - everything has been paid and WGI and SEAD initial payments have been made.

 

Solo report - first event is Sunday 27th of April. There are 9 local events planned for this season. Startling School is scheduled for May 24th. Registration is open for the season on MSR (find link on www.flr-scca/autocross) and link for Starting Line school can me found on the same site. Budget is ready, thanks to Chris Bucknam we now know that we need for insurance money for the trailer. Should have trailer this week. Emilio will send budget to BOD this week. Contract received from National Office for National Tour. We are looking at getting required vendors. One driver was not happy about change to region classing (all Rcomp tire classes are now together). Trying to balance the run groups because the Pro class getting too large. Maybe we need to promote Solo meetings via email.

 

Racing looking for volunteers.

 

The Rally program completed their winter season with a season ending party this past Saturday night.
