New Business:

Joe Maher


Future of the sport
The kids at mini moto is where the future of the sport is
Youngest age our insurance will take is 12
Think it would be a good idea to consider a Mentorship program
Ricky Orlando- This is not a cheap sport so unless you work your butt off or have parents that support your race program you wont be able to afford to race until your late 20’s


Unfinished Business:
