WWSCC
Report – The Coneheads practice was held and made about $1100. It was smaller than anticipated with 53
drivers. They left the option open to
hold another practice before the banquet with dates in late October still available
in
Equipment
Report – Brian was not in attendance.
For the record Jerry stated that Brian has worked incredibly hard this
year and really deserves a round of applause for what a great job he is
doing! Jess has also become an
incredible asset to our region. Thank
you Brian and Jess!
2006 Pro Solo (8/5 -8/6) – With
the slight exception of lower than anticipated turnout Alan felt that the
weekend went really well. Stacy’s course
was incredibly challenging, and Alan has seen some good comments on different websites. A big thank you goes out to Keith and Kristi
Brown for all of their efforts above and beyond their responsibility as Chief
of Workers. A comment was made that had
Alan had a co-chair or SLDO the small details that help the overall organization
of an event could have been better.
Having a person in that position would have ensured that things got done
like, putting water in the coolers for corner stations, emptying garbages,
coordinating parking, etc. We are hoping
for another event next year, and Jerry felt this was a good possibility. Low turnout could be attributed to the fact
that we swapped the date with the NT.
Jerry made a decision to pay for dinner for those that stayed around
until the very end and would like the region to cover that. A motion was made and approved.
Evolution Schools (August 8
– 11) – We had a bunch of students (93 total) and the week was very
successful. After all of the expenses,
we have made a total of over $5000 and Keith would like to reimburse the two
people that were unable to attend due to medical reasons. After a discussion amongst the group a
decision was made to refund their money less $50 to help cover administration
and site fees. This will help reinforce
the fact that people cannot just drop out after committing to the program. Kevin wants to remind the group that Keith
did an incredible job organizing this whole thing and it was one of the best
schools that Kevin has seen all over the United States.
2006 National Tour – Things
went reasonably well. Jerry received an email from Sandi on Thursday night at
July 23 – (BMP) – Karl and
Amy were event chairs. It was HOT -
close to 100 degrees!!! Five runs were
had by all, and there were a couple of people who may have actually been
suffering from heat stroke. Thank you to
the six people who actually stayed around to help tear down - Glen, Glenn,
Annie, Jerry, Karl and Amy. The event
was great, thanks Karl and Amy!!
September 3 (BMP) – Aaron
will be the event chair. The plan is to
use the Porsche course backwards. We are
still looking for a bus driver, anyone interested please contact Aaron.
October 15 (BMP) – Shelbi
& Kevin will be event chairs. We will
use the course presented by Karen Babb.
Norpac Convention - We need
people to help organize this event. Solo
is responsible for setting up all of the discussions, or round table type of
group settings. Bud has volunteered to
set-up a round table regarding Solo data acquisition. All volunteers willing to organize something
would be appreciated. If you contact
Jerry he will let Sherri Masterson know you are working on something. Alan suggested that someone come up with a
discussion regarding how to utilize the internet to help build your
region.
Stolen Trailer – Back when
the trailer was stolen Kevin paid for it to be recovered, and also to dump the
garbage left inside. These expenses have
already been approved for reimbursement and he just needs to write something up
to give to Lou Ann.
Time Trials – Currently
Time Trials is currently in the red for $800. This $800 is being covered by
Mark McCloskey and Jerry feels this isn’t a fair situation. He is asking that we as a group think about
helping this new venue survive and continue.
This is only their first year and several of the events over lapped with
key Solo events. A motion was made to
cover this $800 from Solo since we have had such a successful year. After a discussion the group agreed and a
motion was made and seconded to make this “donation”. It should be billed as seed money for 2007 to
help support next year’s season.
GOO
A suggestion was made to
add our website address, and event schedules to the course maps. Bud will contact David Lewis.
There have been a few
people asking about running junior karts in our region. A suggestion was made that we start the
process now to find out exactly what we need to make this possible. The key will be finding someone to be the
“youth steward”. Jerry will do a bit of
research and bring it back at a future meeting for discussion.
Meeting was adjourned at
