Mike, received reports from national, all regions. Report end of last year to end of November 540 down from 544 a decline of 4 members. Some are up and some are down across the nation. Look to work on membership next year.
SOLO REPORT: (Al Hermans)
Worked on region points after Thanksgiving, checked for those who qualify. Waiting for other input and hope to post to the website soon.
We are in discussions with other venues to see if we can schedule events should MCC be unavailable in 2021 and to see if we can add some variety to our normal offerings.
We are not expecting to be able to contact MCC until after the start of 2021. Until further notice, gatherings in Jackson County are restricted to 10 people unless a “Gathering Protocol” is submitted to and approved by the county at least 7 days in advance of the gathering. If MCC does open enough to where we would be permitted to hold events there, the SCCA Covid provisions would likely be adequate to allow for the gatherings that we would have. Same goes for Arrowhead if we are successful in scheduling events there. Sandstone in Wyandotte County is probably similar. Formulating a schedule for 2021 will not be possible until we can determine if a particular venue will be available and what restrictions may be in place. We will need to be flexible as this past year has shown. Anything relating to scheduling for 2021 will be done in pencil.
Delivery of SCCA loaner helmets is expected in December or January.
James Cahill – has talked to Al and Heartland Park venue is a possibility for cohosting in 2021 if needed.
Jessica Dorn – Arrowhead is where it was as the last discussion with them. Will try back in February. Reuben – New surface may not be adequate for our purposes.
Jeremy – Covid makes it off for this year but we will be working again once contact is off break. Surface ok’ish.
KVRG REPORT (Chris Kern):
Update everyone on 2021 HPT race dates.
We have the May 14 -16, Track Night on the 14th. Majors event.
New track in Missouri near Gravois Mills. Looking into this for next year. Great for future.
Track Night looking for same number of events in 2021 as 2020.
RALLYCROSS REPORT (Dan Colburn):
Will have a December event up and MSR is ready for the 5th and 6th at Riverside. Last event of the year.
Have had 9 or 10 events, more than initially scheduled.
Reuben – looking at maybe two more sites for next year and new technologies.
WEB REPORT: (Mike McGinley)
Have been working on keeping up on all the current activity. If there is anything for the web site please send it in. We had only 5780 visitors to the site, 21 per day. Will get in the updates for all upcoming events soon.
Mike – congratulations to Rally X for the great work this year given Covid, you guys carried the standard for the region.
MiDiv Convention update (Donna Cross):
MiDiv convention was scheduled but has been canceled for in person, stay tuned as to have this will come off virtual, etc. Have not decided about 2022 as to location.
