Minutes Review Lou Ann was not present, so nothing could be discussed.
Board Report Mark has given up the March 31st Time Trials date in BMP. Dick and Jerry agreed that we should take over this date and hold a Novice School. Dick will need to speak with Jackie to make sure she is okay with this.
Treasurers Report Please see attached.
WWSCC Report Rules proposal meeting was held in December. Nothing presented was earth shaking; a majority were just house keeping and administrative clean-up. Someone presented one that suggested the SRT4 was bumped to a different class. All agreed this was not something we would approve. BEAC is starting to enforce the policy that nothing can be sold on Boeing property, so WW is going to change the rules regarding the rulebook. At the first event you will be charge a $5 registration fee and given a book. At the following events, as long as you are listed on the master registration form, you will not need to present your book. The Slush events will be as follows - January 28 UW at Everett, February 4 (TS) at BMP, February 25 (ACE) at BMP.
Equipment Report Brian was not present, so nothing could be discussed.
2007 Solo Chair Dick
Willy has volunteered to cover the administrative side of things.
This means that he will run meeting and coordinate with National Office.
Since Mary Lee has agreed to be the BoD liaison, this means we only need
one more person to fill the Operations position.
Dick would like to remind people that IF there are no volunteers to do
something this doesnt mean that he will automatically fill in to cover the
position. What that means is IF
there is no event chair volunteer, then there will be no event.
Everyone should step-up in 2007 and make sure things continue to be done
in the manner in which we are accustomed.
NORPAC Convention Was
held in Reno last weekend. All of
the Solo seminars were a success.
Unfortunately there were a couple that had very little attendance, but people
did enjoy the information they received and were thankful we were all there to
give our sessions. It was agreed
that we would have a three-event Divisional series including events in Atwater,
Packwood, and Helena. Jim Jelow, the current SCCA President finally showed up at
the Sunday Town Hall. Someone asked
him if our Solo Nationals event could be moved back to its original time period.
He said that a request had been made to Heartland Park to save the early
part of September for Nationals and the later part of September for the Runoffs.
So, it may be possible, but if we expect it to happen we should certainly
continue to remind the National Office that we are very interested in this.
There is a rumor that Pete Lyon has resigned from his position as our
insurance director. If this is
true, it opens up the possibility of us receiving a better deal on insurance
rates. Bud would like to suggest that we start lobbying for separate insurance
bids for each of the SCCA venues.
Right now, we are all paying for medical insurance which is obviously not as
necessary for the Solo group. Jodi
suggested that someone contact the person responsible for PCA insurance because
on a National level they are getting a much better deal for their insurance and
it would be nice to find out how this is possible since the clubs are so similar
in terms of size, profit, entries, etc.
Katie Elder has resigned
from her position and is tentatively being replaced by Brian Nemy.
Coneheads Banquet Will
be held at FX McRorys on February 10th.
The cost will be $30 to participate. An announcement was sent out
to the autox list, and people can register on-line or mail entry forms to Kristi
Brown at her home. Doors open at
5:00 dinner will be served at 6:30.
Trophies Kristi has
ordered the small helmets for 2nd place and below.
Jackets will be distributed for first place positions.
Everything is moving forward as planned and they do not expect any
problems.

It was also suggested that Jim Daniels may be interested in doing another
one this year.
NEW BUSINESS
Corvette & HP Show Need
volunteers.
Raised Fees from National
Office Insurance fees have been increased from $4.50 to $5.00.
Sanction fees have been increased from $3.00 to $3.75.
Annual Tech Mary Lee
asked when the annual tech should take place. Everyone suggested that something should be held prior to the first
event at an off-site location, along with something happening during the first
couple of events. Jodi suggested
that we contact Greg since he has lifts at his shop, and his schedule may open
up a little this year.
New Timing & Scoring
Computer - Since Jodi has been using her personal laptop to cover Timing &
Scoring for SCCA, PCA, and BSCC events she is asking each club to donate $500 to
cover the cost of something new to be used for all three of these clubs.
Since we cannot give her money and try to show this purchase on her
books, we have requested that she charge us a rental fee of $500 for the
services that she and her computer provide for our club for 2007.
A motion was made and approved to allocate $500 to cover this service fee
from the club treasury.
2007 Solo Sponsor -
A discussion was raised to write up an agreement and negotiate with our
sponsor for 2007. Apparently, Greg Fordahl has been having issues with some of
our regional people who have not been respecting the fact that he is our Solo
series sponsor and should have logo included in as many places as possible.
It was also suggested that someone develop a form to use for the course
maps that include the Fordahl Motorsports logo, with the name and location of
his business. Perhaps this is something that David Lewis can deal with as
Chief of Course.
Meeting was adjourned at
8:04 p.m.
