Officer’s reports:
President: Tony Baker-
Must be a bike night cause it’s raining. September meeting
Last round is coming up this weekend.
Corner worker appreciation…. We are low on numbers anyways so BRING stuff to the last round. Part of the reason is hot weather & President duties, Insurance, Schedule, we conflict with usba a little but we look at 0ur needs
Rule change meeting member in put what we should do changes of any kind
Nominations for the following season
Tony will not be running for prez after next year…. Tony has been on the board for 10 going on 11 years
Start looking at the people who are going to advise or support the Prez as we create the new Board they are going to lead the new Prez & the future
We are moving away from our Database & scoring it will transition into a new system
Expect some changes…. January hopefully will send & email blast to let you know how to do things… you will sign up for you Licenses, races… etc….
Looking forward to building for next season
Was this year better than last? We knew what we needed to run an event Started the season with 54k in the bank but we have lost money on events
We will have a 7rd season…. We have been managing to the economy Last year we had an 8 race season & this year we did 7 & made that work.
We have a good understanding of what the cost is month to month is & what
Superstreet… do we keep track of if they paid, voucher or whatever?? Yes
We are sold out for the 2ndrace in a row
If we sell out on Superstreet & have to turn people away how is the growth of the club going to work
We have not turned away people that have walked up
When we had 37 people show up the quality of the product was not great, instructors, track time etc
We are aware of it & are watching it
Who is willing to shorten our races to accommodate the Superstreet races
Do we want to become the Superstreet Organization?? We want the club to stay alive & get new peo0le involved .
This is a new problem for us & we are working on it
Limit the amount of times a guy can race before they are told they can’t run it anymore? We talked about that in the beginning but we don’t want to turn them away
We need their $100 to breakeven or come close to that
Giving an incentive to the racer that get a Superstreet guy to licenses up
Adopt a novice or Superstreet guy?? If you want to do that the board will have suggestions but it usually falls through
