James called the meeting to order at 7:03 PM.
Clay gave us an update on the plans for the August
10 th autocross at one of the Rangers stadium lots. He
reported that everything is going well with planning for
this event. The previous autocross on June 1 st had 39
entrants. Clay also reported that he was continuing to
work on the new autocross software program and even
demonstrated it to a few board members.
Travis said that the time trial on Saturday, May 31 st ,
had about 52 entrants. He reminded us that the double
time trial at Motor Sport Ranch was coming up on June
21 st . He already has 55 drivers signed up, but can only
accept 48. We discussed the procedure he will use to
select the final 48 entrants.
Robyn said that she will update the calendar and send
it out to everyone on the board list.
Bill gave us a report on the recent club race. There
were 65 racers and over 75 DE’ers. The wide and
smooth surface at Eagles Canyon venue was fabulous.
He reported a few places had asphalt coming up after
the event. We discussed whether the selected date was
good… he said it was, in spite of the event at Watkins
Glen which probably siphoned off about five racers. We
got a glowing report from the Chief Steward. There were
zero incidents and accidents.
Darron reported that we have timing equipment.
Denny, not to be outdone, reported that we have
a web site. PCA national moved to new servers over
the past weekend. They have assigned a new URL to
clubregistration.net…it is “register.PCA.org”.
Jan said to watch our e-mailboxes… she will send a
list of ads that she needs.
Tracey gave us a quick update on May at Mayo’s
which went very well. The Father’s Day Picnic will be
at Bryan Bell’s sister’s house. They have no swimming
pool but do have a 12-car garage! She reminded us that
Founders Day on November 15 th will be formal. The
board approved spending $500 for a casino night.
Bob K reported that we have money. One of his
friends suggested that he spend some of it on new checks
with” Porsche” spelled correctly… the current batch
don’t have a “C”. After the laughter subsided, Bob said
that accounting for the club race was not complete yet,
but he bravely predicted it would be in the black.
Bob L said we have happiness. He reported on
the Happy Hour at Edelweiss, which was good, if a bit
rowdy.
