Ø New Rider Director: Jeff Brown
Ø Fair to say we all got into this because we want to go out there & have fun, we have lost track of the fun part and have come out and complained about the board or what is not going right. Pot stirrers hurt the club, puts a bad image in their minds and attendance will decrease. If you don’t like the way the Board does things & you want change the Step Up & run for a board position , if you don’t then you are not wanting to see the club change for the better but instead to just be a pot stirrer in the pits & to the board. Keep in mind that this is supposed to be fun.

Ø Track Marshal: Dani Lee Clements
Novice hours due – come find me for more hours
Corner Work Appreciation on Saturday night after the BBQ
Who all gets to participate- Corner Workers, Score keepers, Rick & Taylor, Ambulance Crew.
Keep in mind some of them are not 21 so try to get some items the young ines can pick from.

Ø Rider Reps.


Rules: Shannon Moham
Rulebook suggestions put it online
Practice schedule seems to be working great everyone like it. It is self-policing the Board is not going to babysit people if someone shouldn’t be out there you can bring it to our attention we will take care of it from there.
Get with Blair look at the data from west course
Discuss in Nov new stop & go penalty procedure
If you have questions about how to write a rule or submit one you can contact Shannon.
Riders submit rule changes
Will talk about it at the rulebook meeting
We have had anywhere from 110 peep -30 peep attend
It will be on a Sat afternoon most likely the 1st weekend in November probably at the Boardroom
If your passionate about having a rule changed show up so you can explain why don’t rely on others to take care of it for you





PR: Cindy Wulf
Nothing




Trophies: Phil Pleiss
Trophy’s for the Production class do you all like them,
Mike they are much easier to store.
Defy did them they were not overly expensive. Might look into doing more stuff with them.
They also did they Board shirts & the Legion team shirts
If majority of the racers like them we can get a better price & save the club money
