The
April Membership meeting will be held at Bobby Archer’s business in Fort
Worth if it is available. It was discussed that monthly membership
meetings be changed to quarterly meetings. Sasha Lanz argued that
monthly meetings are important. Tim Evans motioned that the May
meeting be changed to a May party to coincide with the TMS Sunburn
National race. The motion was seconded by Dan Sherrod, and passed
unanimously.
TRAC

18, is helping to sponsor this race. TRAC will provide volunteers
to support our May Club Race at TMS. TRAC will be using the event
to help raise funds to promote the Sunburn Grand Prix, but the event
will be used as their primary fundraising event for the year. For
more information on TRAC, go to www.traconline.org.
State
Fair Classic Corral available dates were presented. The Club's preference of
dates will be submitted and the State Fair will notify the
Club as to its selected date. It was discussed to schedule after the
Run-Offs on September 30 (Saturday).
Tim
Evans discussed online registration for events. Dovonan Brown of
DLB, Beth Mills of Washington DC region, Joyce McKinstry
were included in the discussions regarding this issue. Beth Mills
reported that her region is totally paperless (no driver packets).
Donovan has prepared a quote for online registration for the year. Prepayment would result in a 25% savings for the year.
Tim Evans made a motion to approve the payment for online registration. Matt Lucas confirm that Solo was using DLB but wasn’t sure if they
were paying for it. Tim Evans amended the motion to be
just for Club Racing events and to include Solo at a later date. Ralph Siebert 2nd.
Vote was unanimous.

plans for the Rally to the Race are coming along well. Rallyists

Dallas. At the moment it is planned to invite the rally entrants
to the membership party Saturday evening. SCCA members will get

Solo
Report (Matt Lucas, ARE): The first Solo event
will be May 18-19. New timing software will be debuted during this
event. Solo has stored 80 worn traffic cones in the SCCA lockup
temporarily, with new ones on order. Matt discussed the need for
helping transition drivers from solo to Club Racing, etc. It was
suggested to have a Club Racing school registration give-away possibly
for the December school. It was stressed that the Divisional Solo
event is critical to financial success, and that a sponsor is being
solicited to help with the use of the road course at TMS.
