Markus Houser reported that we should consider the acquisition of the following new equipment to support our autocross events: two new PCs, a new generator, and a new Race America wireless timing system. The proposal will be reviewed at the February 10 Board Meeting.
Brian Roper reported that our recent practice of running our rallycross events on Saturday worked out well because some competitors run ours on Saturday then go to other regions to run theirs on Sunday.
