SMC paddock conditions were not good; LS gave us all the space they could, but still not enough. SFR received very positive feedback from the ALMS officials. Martin Kaufman, Chief Steward of ALMS, attended the Sunday morning F & C meeting, gave high praise and spoke of his pride in his home region.

¢ Grand Prix of Willows Recap -- All
Grantz reported that George and Lois Ott were very helpful with the RDC Enduro program; they made things easy. BoD thanks them for their assistance. Good event promotion in the Glenn Co. area. Good competition for the drivers. Sat. night awards ceremony needs nurturing; drivers were inside, workers outside and the two did not mingle. Race Administration had not received any information on the agenda and were unable to assist anyone who had questions. Vodden did a good job as the MC and drivers had an opportunity to thank their crews and sponsors. Question of how good an idea was the $10 entry fee; may need to give entrants free passes next year. The local high school band was a hit with participants. All run groups had sponsorship money for the top finishers. Some drivers donated their winnings to the band fund; total raised was over $1600. Suggested that Blake Tatum be Operations Manager next year.
