Timing and Scoring

Dave Lehrshall reported the #s on the cars is helping as is the advance registration enforcement.  He is now able to “clean up” registrations and records.  Trophies will be given out at the driver’s meeting to “catch up”.

 

Solo Chairman’s Report:

1. We will automatically plan on 6 runs for every event.  We need to buy 2 more radios and 1 more fire extinguisher.

2. Thank-you for the better flow at tech and registration.

3. Karts and workers must be on time.

4. We will use cones to better manage the ball players ingress and egress at the gates.

5. The same rules will apply this year as last year to earn the PAX championship points this year because we failed to post the desired changes this year in a timely fashion.

6. We voted to purchase a Stihl blower for cleaning the course.  Estimated to be $400 plus gas can, 2 cycle oil, and ear protection plus tax.

 

Club Racing Chairman’s Report:

Richard Dziak reiterated the difficult year due to a multitude of problems including loss of facilities and rising expenses for entry fees, gas, hotels, and long commutes.  There seems to be a separation or “disconnect” between regions and national.  Luis reiterated the $500 commitment from PANAM to support the PAR Road Racing Endowment Fund for club racing. 

 

 

Rally Report:

1. Clovis reported a 5 car turnout for the last rally, 1 equipped, 1 limited, 3 stock.

2. We decided to call the charity rally the “Carrera Panamericana Road Rally set for July 8th.  It will be a TSD rally.

3. We will invite car clubs to join in with up to “X” cars for a flat fee. 

4. We may need additional clocks.   

5. There will be a novice class the day of the event. 

6. Cameras for the TV stations will be allowed in the cars. 

7. Mike will contact other clubs. 

8. Luis will contact the media.
