WWSCC Report – OS/US will
be the first two events of the season.
These events will be held at BMP on May 31 and June 1. BEAC has met with the recreation department
and unfortunately there were no changes in their position regarding the use of
the
Drifting
Report – No SCCA drifting activities since last month. There is a
date that has become available at BMP on Friday, May 30th. SCCA is responsible for this event and Drift
is willing to step up and take the date.
We have requested the insurance sanction and Russell is working with
Gretchen to find Safety Stewards to cover the date. This is not an official Solo event, but is an
SCCA event. If Drift cannot cover the
date then the cost of the site will come from the region accounts. Russell suggested that if we cannot get an
official SCCA Safety Steward, the Torque Steerers
club could be willing to take the day for a skills day. Russell is going to contact Karl to see if
this is a possibility since no one in this group has a problem with it. Russell has also been in contact with the
BSCC board to see if they are willing to share their June 22nd BMP
date, apparently there is another club in front of them in line for use of the
site. If this date is not available,
the next event would then be July 27th.
Packwood Site Report – We
are close to resolving the issue of getting all of the burned out light bulbs
replaced in the covered pit area. We are
required to work through a local contractor for all repairs done on-site. The cost will probably be lower than we
originally projected because several light bulbs have been removed from other
buildings and replaced with high energy bulbs, so we will not have to purchase
many new ones. The majority of the overall
cost will be the installation. We have
not made as much progress with the bird droppings, but Sean and Dick are still
working on that issue as well.
NEW BUSINESS
Course Designers for NT/Pro
Solo – Chris needs course designers for both the Pro Solo and the National
Tour. Howard Duncan will be covering our
events, so there should not be as much issue with this situation. Jim Daniels has volunteered to design the Pro
Solo course.
NT Test n’ Tune Chair – Jackie
and Chris are in need of a chair for this Friday practice. The first runs starts at
Posting – At the last event
there was a competitor who had issues with results not being “posted” in a
timely manner. One of the complaints was
that the results are not being posted in a centralized location for easy review. Dick has volunteered to create an “official”
posting board to help address this issue.
Cop Car Challenge – Dick
would like to resurrect this concept and invite our local organizations to
compete in a “Police Challenge” during the National Tour. Dick has been dealing with the Chehalis group
and is spreading the word to other local groups. Dick would like to suggest that IF this
becomes a charity event that all money raised gets donated to SCCA Foundation. He is going to propose that SCCA will donate
$100 for every car that competes (given a limit to total dollars donated). Dick will coordinate this and bring more
information back at a future meeting.
Weekend Memberships - We
have been trying to keep track of all of the weekend membership information
since it now has to be turned into the SCCA National office. This has become a data block and is harder
than anyone expected. We are now going
to create a form that people must fill out so that these records can be sent
directly to National Office via hard copy.
Future Site Development –
Karl is currently talking with the people at Cheney Stadium. Dick is also going to contact the owners of
the
