First, I'd like to apologize
for making changes to the Classic sign-up form without having all information. I have asked Jason Todd to take over updating
the Classic Flyer.
Club meeting minutes:
1.) Vote for new
directors and Board were as follows.
Club President Dennis Winchell
Vice President Mike Bekke
Treasurer Jason
Todd
Board Members Justin Poulson
Dick Smith
Kylan Coghlan
Shawn Kiely
Error on my
part - there should be 5 board members according to the bi-laws, there needs to
be a call for another Board Member at the next meeting, Feb 15th.
There was confusion
as to when the new Directors and Board take office. It is in the Bi-Laws that the Directors and
Board are voted on in December and are to take office in January.
2.) Motioned &
Seconded to create a "Classic Track Committee"
The following club
members volunteered to present several options for the race track design for
the classic. It is important to note
that there was an electronic vote earlier regarding changes to the layout. Option number one won out in the vote by 1
vote (8 to 7, an example of -every vote does count-) so option 1. will be followed.
Option 1 is as follows - exact wording that the club voted on:
" 1.) Leave the Track alone – it rocks, minor
changes to make it fit for Classic & Hobby Show race"
Here is the Classic Track
Committee that will present track layouts at the next race & meeting:
Justin Poulson
Justin Hagen
Matt Wooton
Layouts should be
available for the Club to look at and vote on at the next race & meeting,
Feb 15th.
3.) It was motioned,
seconded and voted on that there will be an Impound Table.
a.) Impound table will have numbers on it
b.) After the race, Racers will place their Car on their
transponder
Number, on the table after the race and
remove the transponder
c.) Racers that do not put their car on their transponder
number will
be assessed a one
lap penalty on the previous race
4.) It was motioned,
second and voted on that the off-road season will have
13 races and there will
be 2 throw outs
It will need to be
brought up at the next meeting that there are 13 race dates,
however the Last Bash was included as a Series race, race 13 of 13 and is that
acceptable.
Here is the Off-Road
schedule for 2004

5.) There was a motion
called for to schedule race day as follows:
Round
Round
Mains
The motion was discussed and
then withdrawn
The floor was opened up
for club discussions, concerns and any other input.
6.) The cleanliness of
the carpet was discussed and agreed that it should be broomed off for the
Classic.
7.) Quad magnet motors at
the Classic were discussed. The
discussion was based upon it being a ROAR rules race event. Quad Magnet motors have not yet been approved
by ROAR so they will be illegal at the classic.
To police this at the Classic there will be a Tech Crew/committee
consisting of: Brett Scalla, Mike Bekke, Bryan Grummett, Justin Poulson, Jason
Todd and Josh Watts if Josh is at the race.
The Tech crew or committee will randomly teardown top finishers motors,
if found to not be in compliance then they will be DQ from the race they were
tech'd for.
8.) "Stormer Racing" offered to sponsor half the trophies cost if we
could get their Name/Logo on the trophies.
And that was where we wrapped
it up. I will update the Board of
Directors Web page and meeting minutes page as soon as
possible.
There were some other
items that were voted on at the previous race on Jan 18th that I am
un-aware of and out of the know. If someone would be kind enough to write
something up so we can include it on the Web or Bi-Laws so everyone has equal
access to the information it would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to thank Dennis
Winchell for taking the reigns within 24 hours of being voted in.
Thank you all for your
help and support, It has been a pleasure serving you and
the club.
