• Weather was perfect
• First time in 5 years we have had a round 1
• 149 Entries
• Results are posted
• How do you all think the weekend went???
• Calls sucked we waiting on pregrid way to long.
• Just so you all know we identified that problem we will be working on that
• Get the spacing between calls Supposed to go by flags
• Sitting on grids to long, some issue was staff some was racers not knowing their grid spots
• Brownie-
• Novice, Amatuer if they don’t know it they will go to the back
• We have been very lax about it, we need to stop it.
• Repeat offenders are the one’s that don’t know & they don’t care we have allowed it before but that WILL NOT happen anymore
• If you roll up to pre grid & ask what their position is you will start at the back no matter the reason.
• Pre grids job is to make sure all you all have a rider number & no one leaking anything not to be yalls babysitter you’re supposed to be in the race not them
• Discipline on lining up on the chalk spots
• Would like to have some practice on how to grid up properly
• Sat seemed like everything was red flags.
• Want to make sure we are not being paranoid but don’t want to compromise safety either

• One that should have been a red flag was not Bike was in impact zone & was leaking fluid
• Some of the flags were premature we are aware of that, we are working on that with all of our staff
• ROR wasn’t done in running order
• We don’t have a real clear definition of what makes it a completed lap
• The board needs to discuss it & make clarification
• The big thing is we wish the walls were moved we want to keep an open relationship with them.
• Don’t think it would be a good idea to reduce it to 2 tracks
• We have had a few people that have asked about Hastings
• We would need at least 160 entries & entry fees paid for a month in advance
• We have had the years where we asked the members & we based majority vote of 35 people that 50 people that attend every round & lost so much money the club was about to be bankrupt. We have also had to cancel rounds because of entry numbers.
• Hastings no one really wants to drive home for 6 hours after a full day of racing ot’s exhausting & the extra expense fuel, hotel eating out if they stay at hotel.
• If we want to go to these other venue we need to make the club bigger we need more members
• To run Hastings would be about 50K because we would have to pay corner worker travel fees, Utah is even higher.
• If George would give us a good deal we would be happy to go out
