WWSCC
Report – The Coneheads practice will be on Saturday, July 15th and
Sportscar Spectacular will be on Sunday,
the
16th. SCCA is responsible for
covering Grid. Bud volunteered to cover
this position. The last weekend in July
is the Miatacross. US/OS was held a
couple of weekends ago. Good positive
feedback regarding both days. Although
there was an issue with Novices taking passengers on Saturday, it was addressed
by the rules steward immediately. A vote
was taken and they were approved as Championship events.
Equipment
Report – Brian was not present for a major overview. It was suggested that we purchase several
small fans for the timing van. It was
also noted that if we fixed the cable on the back window it would be possible
to open it again. Annie will send Brian
a note requesting he purchase fans before the next BMP event. We would also like to reactivate the search
for some type of system that would help get the FM transmitter signal to work
inside the building at Packwood. A motion was made and approved to spend up to
a total of $500 to cover this. Another
motion was made and approved to spend up to $150 to purchase an air compressor
and air hose to use in Packwood.
2006 Pro Solo (8/5 -8/6) – Alan
is curious if a map has been created showing the entire site. Keith spoke with Angus who should be able to
provide one for us. Jerry will follow-up
with Angus to check the status. David
Lewis wanted to make sure that everyone knew the site map we currently have is
at least 80’ off of the actual dimensions.
So far there are only 64 entries and Alan would like everyone to help
advertise this event to help increase the attendance. Setup will be done on Friday morning and will
be covered by Brian Norton. Ace has
volunteered to do a Pro Solo tricycle race on Friday night with all proceeds
being donated to a charity. If held
on-site it will be necessary for all people riding to wear a helmet.
Bud has talked to the
Evolution Schools (August 8
– 11) – He changed the Teen clinic to a Phase one which filled up from the wait
list. Keith has now expanded the entire
program and we will have the highest number of Evo school entrants that we have
ever had in the NW. The instructors
will be the following - Kevin, Karl, Ron, Joe and Ann and Andy Hollis. Keith
has handed over the checks to Lou Ann.
The instructors will be staying between The Crest Trail Lodge, and a
private house through TMC which Kevin is renting on his own and will be
reimbursed for ˝ night of a hotel fee.
We have all of our stewards assigned and on-site management will be
covered by Keith, Kristi, and Jerry. Keith will be bringing out water during
the Pro weekend, and will coordinate the additional management responsibilities
with Jerry. We will be looking for a
total of 6 coolers to use for the entire time in Packwood (Pro/NT/Evo).
2006 National Tour – The
party is coming together very nicely. It will be hosted by the Fire Department
again this year.
Gretchen and Kristi have
been sending out letters and visiting the locals in Packwood looking for door
prizes. Aaron Pailthorp has donated a ˝
hour trip in his personal plane. Thanks
Aaron! Jake will be the event chair for
the practice on Friday. We are planning
on an ice cream social on Saturday night as our “hospitality” event. Since it will be held the middle of August it
will more than likely be very hot! Jerry
is still hunting for a copy of the NWR supplementals. It will be important to
add the Packwood site rules so that people understand exactly what is required
- Yellow line, no alcohol, 35 foot access, no going anywhere on site, etc.
Jerry will take care of this. Joel and
Brent are working on t-shirt coordination.
It was suggested that we offer the church group the opportunity to sell
them at the concession stand.
June 17 –Pro Solo Practice
(Packwood) – 60 entrants with 8 regular runs.
There were two separate challenges; one for each half of the day. Thanks to everyone who helped out SO much to
make this a good event. Brett and Jerry
have put in a ton of work on both the timing software and equipment and it has
the potential to be even better than what is currently being used by the
National Office. THANK YOU both for all
of your efforts.
June 18 (Packwood) – Good
event. So far away that people didn’t remember too many details.
July 8 & 9 (Packwood) –
Great events. There were two entrants
DQ’d. The first was due to an incident based on tire scrubbing and reckless
driving that was caught by the on-site security guards. This participant dealt with the situation
with class, agreed and understood, and also refused to allow a fee refund. He even continued working his position before
leaving the site. The second DQ was
based on a WRX going over the yellow line.
David Lewis was the Course Designer and did a wonderful job for his
first time attempt. There were some
issues with parking, and a single lane had been established in the area closest
to the course for access around the building.
This had not been officially announced, and someone parked there which
essentially block all access. A
suggestion was made that we purchase some colored chalk and clearly mark this
area for no parking so there is no confusion in the future.
July 23 (BMP) – Karl and
Amy will be the event chairs. Alan Dahl
will be the course designer. Everything
seems to be under control.
September 3 (BMP) – Aaron
will be the event chair.
October 15 (BMP) – Shelbi
& Kevin will be event chairs.
