Autocross Committee Report — Mauro/Benfer/Springer
- Last event was smoothest in history, went well all around, everything on time, had a good time
- Few people at reg asked about email the night before – didn’t happen
- Jared’s preference to run novices at the same time – not working, very challenging, it was the only hiccup of the day, not enough instructors when novices are all together, novices not classing correctly (ie: need to select a specific class, not just novice). This impacted timing – could be addressed prior to their heat ie: at tech
- MSR options when registering? Pro / novice / none
- Word it better in MSR for registration (ie: if you are a novice, choose “N”…)
- Simplify by making it mandatory to sign up for both? (ie: STS + STS or STS + N)
- Then you have to remove the second “STS” (only Pro/Novice stay in) otherwise have to edit each person – can this be fixed in AXWare?
- Can send emails through MSR ahead of time – who all has MSR access?
- Asked David Myers to review entry list re: classing
- Melissa/Rob/Chris decide the best strategies to assign workers
Rallycross Committee Report Report — Roscinski
- Event in 1.5 weeks / 19 entries so far
Scavenger Road Rally Report — Chilcote/Dellinger
- Nothing to report at the moment
- Co-chair not available
Old Business
- After last event checked all timers/battery for draw
- After May event – set all tires to 80lb. They went to 83 except for left inner went to 65
- One tire has slow leak (10-20lb per month)
- Truck has no draw / battery at end of life (originally from Advance Auto) / negative terminal won’t get tight
- Will replace battery and negative terminal before next event
- Address left inner tire if we’re concerned – something broken off on battery terminal
- Rob going to replace loose negative terminal when replacing battery
- 2025 Mini Meet – 3 more people to talk to, meeting with Roger early next week
- Tshirt group chat – Heather/Alex/Nat made designs
- Email amongst group to pick amount vs. 3-4 designs
- Vote on 1 design that encompasses both AX and RX
- Use Facebook poll for ordering & sizes on both AX and RX pages (“if you like this design and you’ll buy a shirt, tell us what size”)
- Start with small run of womens shirts? See what interest is
- Option to pay cash on site since MSR charges a fee for every $10 + $2 fee – look into exact fees
- Pre-order through MSR so we have exact quantities?
- Logistically a pain to use MSR for shirts only / get shirts ready
- Get a final quote from Alex’s vendor (for front & back and sleeves if needed)
New Business
- New members in attendance: 4
Comments, Announcements or Good and Welfare announcements
- N/A
