2022 Rule Change Suggestions

[VeronicaVaughn]

I completely agree with your sentiment. The only reason I didn't propose "spouse/partner(/SO?)" was in case we wanted to extend this "impact alleviation" to a son or daughter. But I could then see it starting to go off the rails with cousins, brothers, etc.

Certainly the wording of this is worth discussion. Anyone else want to chime in?

I'm with John, I think it should be spouse/partner/SO. If we go down the route of immediate family member, then I agree with J. Brewer, it can get a little out of hand.

Arguably, both of these positions will likely be filled by a racer's wife or girlfriend (not always, but most likely). So if we say family member, then a partner or significant other would be excluded because they are not married?

Otherwise, I would suggest a modification to Brewer's rule change addition to section 11 that the secretary and treasurer change from non-racing to racing positions if it gets changed to "immediate family member."
