- April 3rd tentative date
- Autocross has a new venue for smaller group
- Once agreement is finalized, leadership will let the club know.

- Competitors can run anything – no rollbar required
- Chris Brown reported that Autocross will start a “Pro class” this year, available to anyone that had a top 15 PAX finish, will be allowed to run in the “pro” class. This will allow for additional competition between top drivers and shake up the classes a little bit

- RallySprint: Nick Landis
- All events are sanctioned and events are in MSR and shared across Facebook.
