Jan Coleman-Mitchell is looking at the Atlanta Region website for timeliness of content items. Email messages to the club site - none. A few interesting phone messages. TREASURER'S REPORT:
Atlanta South Wrecker/ambulance service check has gone missing. Stop payment/activity check will be made tomorrow. Address on invoice was incorrect; their bad. Region savings account. It's a security account. We need to put some of this money in a separate savings account. Discussion. Decision made to add security account to financial reports on a quarterly basis. There's a few drivers from the March Majors who have billing issues. Discussion. MSR can't blacklist but individual operators can. Decision made to look up these drivers if they attend Majors at VIR next weekend to discuss the arrears. Motion made by Jim Creighton to do so. Seconded by Bob Hudson. Jim Creighton call for vote. Unanimous: Motion carries. DEPARTMENT REPORTS: Website: Randall Prince: There is no update. Site is being updated. Offer of help with website. Race Report: Dustin Stevenson: We had a good race (March Majors). Not briefed by Mr. Schramm. Discussion of standing start from March Majors, A little experiment that will probably not be repeated. Positive feedback for announcers, registration, race chair. Further discussion of March Majors, what worked, what didn't, staffing issues. Discussion of bonus race for the ARRC for a formula class. Summer Sizzle/ARRC: Asked by the V8Stock Car series, Butch Kummer to add a $30 charge per car per race for these entries. They will run in GTA but not all GTA are V8s.Will be added to MSR registration submenu to make it automatic. Majors administrative issues discussed and are being looked into by the national office. RallyCross: Wes Stuckey: RallyCross had an event 3/16, 32 entrants, double previous event. Equal number of members and non-members. Some non-members showed an interest in joining. Net gain. Are the nonmembers using weekend memberships? Some, there's a Rally lot of interest. RallyCross is growing and could use more volunteers. Solo Tim Smith: We've had two events, test and tune, and semi-hosted Starting Line school. Been an awesome start to the season; second event was largest ever, over 230 drivers. Everybody got their time. If they stay this big the schedule will be adjusted to fit. Tons of positive feedback on social media. Lot of subteams within the Team Solo crew, Everything is being handled appropriately and well. Had a bunch of drivers from out of town. OLD BUSINESS: Honda Development from the ARRC not paid us yet. Carol will contact. Track Nights In America: Bob Hudson: Event was pretty good. Discussion of "self tech,' safety issues. The event ran well, with 62 entries. Only one guy in the gravel. One interesting spin, one engine failure. Quality was ragged but improved as night went on. This event moves the club in new markets that are well established elsewhere. A flyer was distributed to participants showing Atlanta Region activities and schedule. Some entrants were SCCA members, but not all. Let's work on that. Next TNIA will start earlier in the day. There was little food/drink available at the event. We could possibly get paid by tnia to do a cookout or other social activity; this would be a good way to draw people in. Will get entrant list from Heyward, will follow up with membership/AR information. ANNUAL MEETING: Was due in Feb. Tere has talked to Andretti Karting about hosting event. Earliest we could have it would be in May. Will proceed for administration budget. Rick Mitchell proposed to spend up to $250 for annual meeting. Discretionary; no vote needed. Date to be set, need a month in advance. Meeting Will be held on a weekday night. NEW BUSINESS: Solo may use skidpad at Atlanta Motorsports Park for a future event. Dustin will look into it further, draw up a prospective budget. Prospective idea: TT/PDX event, possibly at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Tim: For a little more money we could rent the entire Commerce Raceway, includig the dragstrip. We could do an event on a Saturday for a reasonable price, we could tack on a social event. Discussion. Tim reports the racetrack is easy to work with, they want stuff happening. Maybe a novice school on Saturday before a Sunday solo event. Randall is looking at available dates. Let's see if we can come up with a date. All to be looked into further. Bracket Enduro: Dustin: Another experimental program -- . Similar to Chump Car. A region-run event using aggregate timing. National will send timing personnel. Discussion of tracks and availability, scheduling. We will look into this further. Potential insurance issues: No HANS requirement, for one. We want to see one of these run first before we commit to anything. Budget, Solo: Tim read out 2015 budget numbers. Jim Creighton motion to aproved as submitted. Rick Mitchell seconded.
