OLD BUSINESS
‣ Driver School Update: Harlan reported 18 entries for AX and about 15 for W-W. More track timers
would be appreciated.
‣ Milwaukee Mile Update: MM management has gone bankrupt. Cassaro has been working with
State Fair Park management, who is taking over track rental and prefers working with smaller
sanctioning bodies such as MC and SCCA instead of larger groups such as NASCAR or IRL (although
private promoters may sponsor the latter events). The event will be over Labor Day weekend with
HPDE on Sat., W-W on Sun. and AX on Mon. Event details are being managed and Ferris wheel
competition is hot among the clubs,.
‣ 2009 Awards Banquet: Serra is in negotiation with a few venues. It is the 3 rd Saturday in January.
NEW BUSINESS
‣ 2009 Directory: Thanks go to Schneider who put it together and distributed it. It looks very good.
Extras will be available at the next meeting.
