Slipstream - November 2009

Maverick Minutes
Lisa Steele, Secretary
On a cool, crisp evening
of October 7th, Mike
began the board meeting
promptly at 7:00 P. M. He started
the meeting with inquiring about the
Selcer Award, where it was and when
he could get it so that he could award
it to someone at this year’s Founders’
Day. I chimed in to let him know that I will take it off
of the perfect little wall space in my house and make
sure he gets it.
Jan Mayo reported that the advertising is going right
along and she spoke for Richard, who was unable to
attend the meeting, that Slipstream is going GREAT!
Jack Griffin announced that he had a concours
committee meeting and it was decided that they will
put on a “detail tech session” at the Cooper Center on
November 7th. People can come and learn how to take
care of the car before putting it in an actual concours.
Steve Pazstor from Tropicare will be on site to help
with the detailing.
Wendy reported that Founders Day is moving right
along with the help of her committee (Robyn Howard,
Andrea Bell, Christy Payne, Jan Mayo, and Lisa
Steele). The room at the Marriott will accommodate
about 75 people. Looks like it is going to be a fabulous
Hollywood Glam theme! Wendy also announced that
things are moving right along with the Christmas Party
on December 12th at the Campbell’s house. Just as in
the past, it is suggested that everyone bring gift cards
for the Hope Shelter but it was requested that only
Wal-Mart cards be given. Wendy also assured Christy
that they could work side-by-side on the New Member
Party before she relinquished all Social duties to her.
Jim Falgout announced that “We have money.”
Travis Howard was pleased to say that Time Trials
are done! The double TT at Mineral Wells was good
with a nice turn out on Saturday. Travis reported
that the season went well with no incidents and that
attendance at events was about the same as last year.
He plans on keeping the schedule of events about the
same for next year. Travis also plans on talking with
Hans at RUF to sponsor a TT at MSR for next year as
well. Great Season, Travis!!
Robyn Howard reported that the Swap Meet at
Zims was good. Al Zim gave a 15% discount on parts.
Robyn would like to plan two swap meets for next year.
Jack Griffin spoke up and said that he would love to
combine a concours with a Swap Meet. Sounds like
the perfect plan!
It was my turn to talk next and I had two items
on my agenda. I clarified a few things that I am
responsible for as part of my secretarial duties. First
I will be bringing a ballot box and plenty of printed
ballots for the voting of the 2010 Officers to Founders’
Day. It appears that all 2009 officers are on the ballot
once again for next year. However, there is also space
for any write-ins. The next item on my agenda was
actually Jim Falgout’s idea. With Hospitality and
Social events having so many receipts, Jim thought it
might be a good idea to have a debit card for these
event chairs to use. After a little discussion, debit
cards were approved!
Christy Payne who always has Goodies, reported
that the last autocross was WET! Due to the weather
and the complexity of the original AX design, the
