- If your bike looks the same as it did the last round of last year, you are doing something wrong

- Try to get some people to come out from out of state and get some out of staters to come in state
- Excited to make things better!

- Still talking about what we can do to make the super street program better
- We need to advertise, advertise, advertise.
- Not everyone knew there are 2 race schools this year
- Something different needs to happen with Superstreet, this is all still in the works (does something different need to happen?)
- Come up with a curriculum and pick a couple of people that can do licensing in case people can not come to race school
- This would not be advertised, this would be word of mouth
