Club Racing Chairman’s Report:

Richard discussed that Rocky Mountain Division Road Racers are not traveling to distant tracks and probably would not support our Chupacabra event.   In fact, there will not be an event this year!  There will be a Feb 17 open track day for licensed drivers.  He discussed the lack of participation by drivers due to costs and the Division’s lack of commitment or responsiveness to this issue.  Richard is seeking additional funding for the Club Racer’s Endowment to which he has personally committed to help fund.
