¢ Visitors' Reports

¢ Vintage Update -- Goronsky via email
No report available.

¢ Solo II Update -- Nemy
Two events left in regular season; six event scheduled for Slush Series. Annual banquet is set for Jan. 21, 2006. Sacramento Chapter reported that there were no contests for Chapter Board positions; therefore, all were reappointed.

¢ Drifting Update -- Nemy
Howard Duncan has approved rules package for Club Drifting. Pete Lyons also approved which means National can issue a sanction number. SFR can now work with No. Cal. Drifting Academy to set up an event. Nemy will be there as Safety Steward.

¢ Rally Update -- Nemy
No report available.

¢ Concours Update -- Gordy via email
PA and Hillsborough tremendous success. One more scheduled--Serrano (El Dorado County). Nosler suggests we promote a racing car class at the Palo Alto Concours next year.

¢ Competition Director Update -- Archer via email
Working on 2006 calendar. Nosler stated the goal of the modified split start was to have the FVs about 100 yards behind the Fords and 500's. This has not worked because the pole FVs have closed up. Upcoming Regl/Natl will be as listed. Remaining races will have cars listed as as they qualify. FVs may choose to petition Chief Steward for a split start. Tatum to follow up with FV drivers on their forum for their choice. Smith reminds us that the current BoD will approve a 2006 schedule which will be run by a new BoD. Need to evaluate whether to continue a Regl/Natl at LS.

¢ National BoD Update -- Pitts via email
No report available from Pitts. Smith stated that the Wed. before the last TH event, National sent a notice which stated that SRFs must race on qualifying tires (will be marked by Grid). Nosler stated that the FSCCA cars don't seem to be doing well; cars are being sold off by purchasers. F3 may be coming. Allen met with Garrett Mudd at ALMS seeking the SCCA video which has the two minute segment within Sports Car Revolution. Got a commitment from Speed Channel to get CD so segment can be identified. Did not receive assistance from the National Region Development office.

¢ Thunderhill Report -- Smith
Covered paddock was initiated; great success and very well received by SFR and day to day customers. Regional competitors need to remember this is for those without covered trailers. Budget is on track and are slightly ahead of projections. The team is reviewing options for solving the rock issues.
Plan to have something in place by the Oct. SFR event. Smith and Vodden have been looking for updated playground equipment; will look at putting this on the 2006 goals list. Further discussion on TH was deferred to the Properties meeting which will be held at 5 PM today via conference call.

¢ Oil Recycling Champions -- Nosler
Audit is complete. Waiting to hear from CIWMB.

¢ Region Administrators Report -- Grantz
National database is doing OK; not perfect every month. Still have a tracking list of problems. Grantz e-mails Colan Arnold with Nemy copied. Appears to be more procedural problems as opposed to software problems. Smith to ask Grantz to review critically to make sure we're not becoming complacent. Update on routine office business distributed.

¢ Old Business

¢ 2006 NorPac Convention -- Nosler
Budget handout distributed. Sponsorship and advertising sales packet distributed with each BoD assigned responsibilities. BoD needs to start working on sponsorships now. Monthly reports to be given.

¢ NASCAR and ALMS Recap -- All
NASCAR was very successful and relaxed working with NASCAR officials. Over 50 F&C personnel were there. Initially didn't have T&S for the Legends cars. Marcy Crawford was at Infineon and she coordinated with Bob Crawford who physically brought TH equipment to the tracks. BoD appreciates their assistance. ALMS had a membership booth all three days; used up all old Wheels and had reasonable foot traffic. Need a new Wheel issue for SJGP. Pro SCCA booth was staffed by SFR volunteers who responded to a last minute request from National for assistance. Plenty of F&C available. Smith stated that next year BoD will need a Pro Event worksheet to distribute to Chiefs, BoD, and tracks prior to the events. Action: Tatum will work on draft.

¢ TH Regional July 8-10 Recap -- All
Phone calls were made to SM drivers who were not entered to determine if there was a specific reason. Only a small number of SM drivers used the express tech line which had been set up to quickly restore annual tech stickers when it was appropriate. Chief Paddock Marshal decided to resign his position after this weekend.

¢ San Jose Grand Prix Update -- All
Registration will be at Fairmont Hotel starting Thursday afternoon. Commuter/Worker parking will be at the Convention Center. Cars can go in before 6:30 AM and will be allowed to go out in the evening. Worker camping site is still TBD. Nemy has signed up 110 Pass Checkers so far--not all are SCCA members. He stated that he has a meeting scheduled Thursday at 7 PM with organizers; Smith and McClellan to also attend. SFR has a signed agreement with Champ Car for providing workers and they have been invoiced for the deposit. Smith to set up a conference call to go over last minute details for Mon., July 25 at 9:30 AM for any BoD member who will be working the GP.

¢ Trophies Update -- Allen
Nosler stated that Eagle trophies were nice this past weekend, but didn't want to make a 5th place award.

¢ Annual Banquet -- Tatum
Timelines distributed. Need budget. Tatum to request accounts payable list. Question if we can pare down number of awards. Suggest we eliminate announcing National Class Driver Awards since so few drivers attend. However, certificates for a photo from Koehler with all the information will be available. Probably time for something different in the way of awards.

¢ Hall of Fame -- McClellan
Article in last issue of The Wheel asked for nominations. Because of tight timelines, may want to plan on having the awards at sometime other than the Annual Banquet. Could consider at the Annual Membership meeting (which is the same date); Tatum suggests a Hall of Fame Race Night at TH. Committee wants to do this right. Don't know how many names have been received. Do members know what type of information should be included with a nomination? Names with bullet points of accomplishments would be helpful. Action: McClellan to follow up with rest of committee.

¢ Windshield Replacement Requirement -- McClellan
Tech has a definition which is as follows: 1) Cracks do not extend into the inside layer, and 2) the cracks are not spidering/radiating from a single impact and more than 6� in diameter, or 3) there are not 3 or more cracks each of more than 6� in length. As always, windshields may be required to be replaced for safety reasons at the discretion of the Chief of Tech. McClellan to check with Morris Hamm to see if this was placed on SM forum. Ask if Grantz can include in the Acceptance Letter.

¢ New Business

¢ BoD - Stewards Meetings -- All
First meeting was held between some of the BoD members and a small group of Stewards at last TH event; provided successful dialogue. Plan on continuing meetings every Friday noon when there are three day events.

¢ Sound Proposal -- McClellan
Proposal from Bill Schooley, Sound Chief deferred to another meeting.

¢ Jan. Cow Palace Car Show -- Vodden via email
Information on this car show had been forwarded to BoD prior to today's meeting. BoD doesn't see that much value in participating. Action: Nemy to respond to Vodden.

¢ Liaison Reports -- All

¢ Membership -- Allen
Booth was very active at ALMS.

¢ Paddock Marshal -- Allen
As reported above, Paddock Marshal has decided to resign.

¢ Grand Prix of Willows -- Allen
Want to do Season Championship awards on Sat. night for winners we can identify. Vodden will present awards and other gifts, instead of at the Annual Banquet. TH plans to have a gate charge for all non-SCCA members and will promote the event throughout the local area.

¢ Social -- McClellan
Apology from Vodden will be published in next issue of The Wheel. A dialogue is ongoing between Chiefs, DeLoyce, and Shannon regarding space and providing lunches.

¢ Worker Trans -- Nemy
Reports crew from LS hasn't received Worker Awards. To follow up with Cornelia Bell, Awards Chief.

¢ Emergency -- Tatum
Reports that Rescue 1 has an antiquated Purple K system. It has broken loose from the truck bed because it is too heavy. Chief would like to upgrade to modern standards; cost would be about $15,000. BoD wants to got with a short term solution of rewelding to the truck bed. On a long term basis, need to determine what has to been done to upgrade to a modern system. Specs and plans to be developed.
