We need to start thinking about people running for office for next year.

 

Solo - cones are brittle in the snow. Depot confirmed same price as last year. Scott Moller is going to co-chair series next year along with Emilio. They set down with Elizabeth and figured out the $20,000 income discrepancy. There is an autocross scheduled at RIT this coming spring. Hope to bring a plan on getting a trailer for next season to the January board meeting. Insurance could be a problem, labiality with tow vehicle while towing. No insurance on the trailer. They are checking with other regions to see what they do.

 

Rally - there was a rally was this past weekend - there 20 cars at the event.

 

There was an STPR meeting this past Sunday. Major discussion about the money lost last year. They are looking at some way to find every car during the event, similar the Rictha application road rally is using – the ARA method would cost $300 per car. ARA is not going to make our event a National event, just Super Regional event.

 

Race - Got our contract for WGI, track cost is up 17% from last year. It will now cost us $38,000 a day for the weekend. Camping is still the same price, overtime is staying the same at $5,000 per hour. We are getting more IMSA tickets this year, less NASCAR tickets.

 

There was a discussion about running Time Trials during the Fun One.

 

Meeting adjourned at 8:15 PM.
