Minutes of the October 4, 2005 Membership Meeting

Meeting called to order at 8:01 pm.

Paul Morrison presided over the October meeting after a 2 month lapse. We are glad to see him back.

First item up was the treasurers report. We have money.

We have 200+ members.

No old business.

New Business

Vintage auto racing was discussed for a way to draw more members and add to our events for the season. A lot of organizations participate in vintage racing, but on their own terms. We would like to send flyers in order to poll racers in a five state area to get any interest.

Rally racing was also brought up as a replacement to road racing during the off-season to test our map reading skills and to hone our reaction times.

Spring Recruiting: We have to make an effort to recruit new members in order to attend the Spring Safety and Driving School so that they can gain knowledge by working the corners and experiencing the benefits that the safety school offers.

Our best wishes are going out to Jack O’Driscoll and his family. Jack has been not feeling well lately and our thoughts are with him.

Competition - Congratulations to these three drivers for winning the championships in their divisions Doug Marsh as the Formula 500 Champion at the Valvoline Run-Offs. Christina Libecco for winning the F Modified Ladies Division at the 2005 “The Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships” as seen on Page 95 of the November issue of the SportsCar magazine.

Elections - Paul Morrison was nominated and gladly accepted the position of Regional Executive. Paul has done an outstanding job and we look forward to his leadership this year.

Chris Turkali was challenged by Bill Pintaric Jr. for the Assistant Regional Executive and Chris won by a short-shift.

Bill Kasmer was nominated for a one year trustee and was enthusiastic to participate in the coming years’ itinerary.

For secretary, Pam Petrusko was nominated and is willing to meet the challenges set forth upon her by the attendees at the MVR meetings.

Two year Trustees are Mike Petrusko and Greg Alley. We are looking forward to the eager participation that these two racers will bring to the table.

Nominated for the Treasurers’ seat are two outstanding members, Sandi Kryder and Tom Nutter. The checkered flag went to Sandi Kryder.

Congratulations to all the elected officials.

Meeting adjourned at 9:30 pm.
