Doug discussed the possibility of Tracy as a site. The drifting club reported that airport management there is receptive to using the site for autocross and drifting activities. We will attend one of the drifting events there to survey the operational aspects of the site for potential autocrossing.
Discussed trophy policy. No changes this year for regular season championship. We will only give trophies to class winners at the Enduro.
We have successfully reduced our subsidies for worker appreciation.
Awards Banquet pricing set at $40/person.
Discussed quantity discount entry pricing in exchange for advance payment. Will not implement this approach at this time.
Will give 100-percenters the option of a jacket, a shirt, or two free entries.
We were having problems with new timing beam. We will work around to shorten the cables.
BSP drivers brought up the BP PAX. Even though BSP always wins the PAX championship at Stockton, they would like to adjust the BP PAX back to earlier, tougher levels to reduce the chance of any other class challenging them ever again. It was pointed out that BSP drivers should switch from Corvettes to Evos since Evos are the superior car in that class. In fact, technology has moved so far beyond the BSP Corvettes that stock Honda and Toyota 4 bangers have more horsepower these days than their cars do. In the end, the chair stated that this was just a plot to screw BP and that further discussion would be tabled until the November board meeting.
Moved to adjourn. (Approved) Adjourned 10:05 pm
Respectfully Submitted,
Rick Brown
Secretary
