11.2.J. Complimentary Race Entries

  1. All board members and the current #1 plate holder receive complimentary practice & entry fees.
  2. For non-racing board positions, family members may use this benefit after receiving full board approval.
    1. If an approved non-board member uses a board member's complimentary entry fees, $100 will be deducted from that board member's pay for the weekend.
    2. The board member may not sell or receive other compensation or barter for complimentary entries.
    3. The intention of this benefit is to alleviate the impact MRA board positions have on families, not as additional board member compensation.

  3. Gridding positions and late entry penalties described in 11.2.A-D apply to complimentary entries.
  4. Class surcharges described in 11.2.F and 11.2.G. will also apply to complimentary entries.
  5. Licensing requirements of section 10.2. apply to complimentary entries.
  6. Approved complimentary entry fees need to be used on the race weekend and cannot be saved or used at a later date.
  7. A list of complimentary entries for each weekend will be available to all MRA members on request.
    1. The list of complimentary entries will be created by the secretary at the beginning of the year.
    2. Changes to the list during the year after full board approval will be maintained by the secretary.
    3. Rider reps will have the responsibility to review the approved complimentary entry list against motorsportreg entries as part of the financial review process.


I am happy to see this suggestion. I was about to submit a similar suggestion. Perhaps modify "family member" to spouse/partner? Racers that are not immediate family members of board members have received free racing in the past, and it doesn't quite pass the smell test. Especially if the club is trying to be fiscally responsible.
