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

March 28th       

April 4th           

April 18th

May 2nd           

May 16th

June 26th & 27th  Mini- Bash

July 11th          

July 25th          

August 8th       

August 22nd     

August 28th & 29th EOS 2-Day Last Bash Championship

 

5.) There was a motion called for to schedule race day as follows:

            Round 1 11:00am

            Round 2 1:00pm

            Mains   3pm

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.
