Board Meeting Minutes
Texas
Region, SCCA Board Meeting Minutes (not
yet approved)
08
August 2005
The Board meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by Chairman
Sasha Lanz. In the absence of the Secretary, Sasha will
prepare the Minutes. Minutes of the June and July meetings had been
previously distributed to the Board members, and they were approved
per a motion by Sherrod/Spikes.
Treasurer’s
Report: John Dorety distributed various financial reports. The Balance
Sheet shows that we have assets of about $93,000.
Race
Report
Dan
Cashman: We are trying to work out a way to have a R/N/N in May 2006.
The stewards don’t think the timing will work. But if a R/N will fit
into two days, and a National into one day, why not all three in three
days? Another question: can we attract enough Regional Cars (remember,
Spec Miatas are now a National class)?
Reb
Folbre: The Texas Region Christmas Super School will be held in
December. $500 buys entry into all three days (classroom on Friday,
track sessions Saturday and Sunday). There is on “one-school”
option. It will be limited to 45 entrants. Motion (Sherrod/Spikes) to
buy 2 SportsCar ads for $1000 for the school; the motion passed. The
cutoff for paid entries will be 15 November. Dan asked Robert Vick to
get a copy of the contract for December 2-3-4 with TMS. Someone
mentioned possible sponsorship form Alara (sp?) Houston.
So
the race plans are still: Double-Regional race in October, and a
Double-School in December.
Rally
Report
Sasha
Lanz: The coop Rally on July 23 did not have enough entrants to make
money. It can be staged again with little work.
Solo
Report
Phil
Osborne: The June Solo II had 167 entries, less than expected. The
Divisional will be August 14 at Mineral Wells (125 are pre-registered).
Membership
Report
Robey
Clark: We have 923 members. Our meeting Wednesday will be at Hooters
(Addison) from 7 to 9pm. Robey has offered a free beer to anyone who
signs up to volunteer for the club; he will pay for it, then ask to be
reimbursed. Announcements have been made via email, the newsletter, and
on the website. The September 14 meeting will be at the Ruf facility in
Addison. Robey would like to order some Grub Rustler t-shirts to sell.
On the subject of elections, everyone at the meeting was challenged to
bring five names of people who would be good as officers, Board members,
or committee chairs. Then we will ask some of these people to step up
and help run the club.
Mini-GP
Report
Brian
Sill: The Mini-GP at Terrell has been cancelled by the Lions Club. Dan
Sherrod remarked that our best move might be to accept the Plano Lions
Club offer and drop the others. That might help solve our worker
problems.
Divisional
Roundtable Report
Sasha
Lanz: The SRO Committee will not accept the Publicity Chairman as
eligible for worker points, even if this person works on the day of the
event. Nor will they allow the Region to buy SRO points and award them
to people they feel deserve them. There is currently $44,000 available
for SRO awards and worker recruitment. Dan Sherrod: Publicity may fall
under Race Control, which is an eligible function. Also, the original
plan for SRO included a provision to buy SRO points, so this may not be
decided.
It
was noted that we need a new person to handle Course Marshal at the
races.
The
meeting was adjourned at about 9:00.
Respectfully
submitted, Sasha Lanz, acting Secretary. |
