TRACK - AUGUST, 2006 ISSUE




MINUTES OF THE JULY MEMBERSHIP MEETING - Pam Petrusko

The July meeting, delayed one week due to the holiday, was called to order by RE Paul Morrison at 7:59 PM with 13 members present.

The Treasurer’s report was read and approved on a motion by Bill Kasmer, second by Bill Pintaric.

We have  200 members, including dual memberships was given.

The June minutes, as printed on TRACK, were approved on a motion by Michael Petrusko, second by Chris Turkali.

OLD BUSINESS:
The Driver School finished $11001.50 in the red. The 1-1 training was valuable but lacked the “real race” experience since there were so few cars on the track at a time.
The National race should finish near $5500.00 in the black, bills are still pending.
Worker Incentive Committee is gathering data to present at the October meeting.

NEW BUSINESS:
The October race will have Richard Dunlap as Chief of Tech. A Sound person is needed.
SCCA has issued a Run Off’s Challenge to all clubs. The best ratio of workers-to-members, (local regions are excluded) will win a trophy and get SCCA fees paid for a national race.
Richard Dunlap is attending and has issued an invitation to members to share the ride.  He can accommodte 2/3 and will be leaving October 5th/6th and returning on the 10th, ball him at 724-962-1538 in the evenings.
The 12-Hour race needs workers - see the Neohio website for details
5. The report from our National race will be in the next TRACK.
6. Paul Morrison attended the Glen and was very  impressed with the facilities.
7. Cliff McCandless will be driving in the Schenley Park Vintage Race near Pittsbugh – Best of Luck.

Meeting adjourned at 8:43 PM.
