RALLY CROSS REPORT: (Nils, not in attendance)
Greg – Next event May 15th is I-35 Speedway. Nothing else at this time.
KVRG REPORT: (Chris Kern)
Divisional events, Hallett was a great time. Bill held discussion on how our local drivers faired at Hallett.
Heartland Park May 20th is our next event. We are 16 workers short of where we need to be. For Ozark we need everyone to come out and help for the new track. We are getting good participation from local drivers but we need support staff to put on events. Workers are a problem for all regions. We are needing help for all worker areas.
Track night had 80 cars, good event even though we were short on workers. Have good turnout but hard to move them along to other SCCA options. Next track night May 20th. We need help! Will have some national champions talking about setting up car for tracks like Heartland at this event.
WEBSITE REPORT: (Mike McGinley)
All areas of the website are up to date.
OLD BUSINESS:
Need a replacement for Mike McGinley for the website, who do we have in the club to take his place.
NEW BUSINESS:
Lisa, no new or special events, should we have a picnic this year? Has been no interest at this time. Any ideas for special events talk to Lisa.
Is there any interest for cars and coffee? Parkville gets 2000 people. Could we promote these on our website? At this time there are seven of these occurring around town.
