WWSCC Report – Coneheads
banquet is on Saturday. The first event
of the slush series will be February 8th at BMP. The next event will be on February 22nd
by TS, and the final event will be sponsored by ACE and held on March 8th. Online registration is currently open for the
first event. Keith recapped the rules proposals
that were voted on last month. The rule
regarding unaudited results being posted prior to the start of the second run
did not pass as written. There was a revision
made and the rule is back again for review.
The following wording has been added:
The rules steward (should be event steward) may be able to override this
rule based on equipment failure or if acts that may occur beyond the control of
the administration happen. After a
discussion, the group felt this rule had too many loopholes and it was not
strong enough to force the wording “must” onto each club. The new motion did not pass. A round of applause was given to Keith and
Kristi for all of their work to organize the Coneheads banquet. Zane Kenney has volunteered to be the 2009 WW secretary.
Kudos to Zane!
OLD BUSINESS
Packwood Lighting
– Dick received the invoice and sent a copy to the
AED Training –
Keith has spoken with four separate organizations. The cheapest one does not do AED
training. The fire department will
provide FREE CPR training, but people MUST live within the area the fire
department exists. Red Cross was the
most expensive at $55 per person with a maximum of 10 people per class. The American Heart Association has a four
hour class for 15 people with AED and CPR training for $600. American CPR 10 people $470, plus an initial
fee of $100. Any additional people would
be $47 a piece. The Life Saver training group
has a four hour class for 10 people for $355– any additional people would be
$39 each. Kristi has taken the training
through Life Saver and thought the class was good. It seems that the Life Saver
Class is the best way to go. We need to
determine who will be attending the class.
The group agreed that we should start by offering positions to the SSS.
Gretchen will contact our group and find out who is interested. Then we can fill in the remaining slots with
any additional key people who are interested.
NEW BUSINESS
New Solo Treasurer
– Since Lou Ann has been elected as the region treasurer, she will no longer be
able to cover Solo as well. Kristi Brown
has volunteered to take over her position.
Thanks go out to Kristi Brown!!! A motion was made and approved to vote
Kristi into this position.

Bauer
Specialty Chiefs -
Need Chief of Waivers, Stock Chief of Timing, NS Chief of Registration (Jackie
thinks that the Mikkos may interested in taking this position), Chief of
Novice, Chief of Equipment. The
secondary issue in this situation is since Brian and Jess will not be Chief of
Equipment, we will also need to get the bus off of their property, and come up
with a place to store it for 2009.
SSS Training/NWR
Convention – There will be a training class held at the NWR Convention on Saturday
January 31st.
The cost will be
$15 for those that are interested in attending only the SSS Training section of
the convention. A motion was made and
approved to cover the cost of $15 for each of the volunteers up to 10 people
that will be attending specifically for the purpose of receiving their license
to cover Sol events. These people will
not be able to eat of the goodies during breaks, or attend any of the
additional seminars.
Annual Waiver/Hard
Card - Some people have received correspondence from National office explaining
this new program. Bud is concerned that
competitors with “race licenses” or “corner workers” will not be expected to
pay the $10 fee for this card. Bud spoke
with Howard Duncan regarding this specific situation a couple of years
ago. Bud feels this is another way for
the club to subsidize the racing program which offends him tremendously. Bud has written a letter to Howard Duncan
addressing the situation, and hopes that it will be discussed at the
Convention. Several in the group felt it was not inappropriate for the race “corner
workers” to receive this benefit for free since they work extremely hard and
receive no payment.
Dash Plaques – In 2007
we purchased 100 for each event. In 2008
we purchased only 50 per event, and we still had 75 or 100 leftover at the end
of the season. We tried to stop
producing these a couple of years ago, but everyone felt that there was not
enough discussion to make that decision.
A motion was made and seconded tonight to allocate zero dollars towards
this for 2009. We will no longer be producing dash plaques.
Novice Program
Sponsor – A discussion was raised as to specifically what is the requirement
for this sponsor. It will be important to come up with guidelines that will be
completed by said sponsor. Dick will
discuss options with Jim’s Detail shop and see if they are interested in
continuing in 2009.
Donations for the
banquet – Full Throttle Bottles would like to donate a $5 gift certificate and
a key chain for each year-end trophy winner for the 2008 season. A few in the group felt that the banquet was
not an appropriate venue for this type of advertising. Those few also felt that
a general prize donated for the raffle, such as a full season entry, would be a
better option. Others in the group felt
that although this was a soft form of advertising, Erika’s general intent was
to provide a prize for those competitors winning trophies. A vote was taken, and the group decided that
this type of donation would be acceptable for 2008.
