These expenses include Saferacer products used as door prizes at the banquet, trophies and radios. Motion to accept by Curtis, seconded by Tim, passed unanimously Discussion of the MidDiv Conference took place, and input was sought from the members present who attended the conference: Jeff, Tim and Scott Subjects covered included Scrutineering (Jeff), the Solo Development Chair, new CAM class, Solo support materials ( specifically for recruitment and support of a Solo novice school ) and Solo and Rallycross site acquisition support. (Scott and Tim) Also, Scott, Tim and Justin Andrews all attended the Solo and Rallycross Safety Steward Seminars which were held at the MidDiv conference and are now Deputy Safety Stewards. Discussion was had concerning helping run an autocross for another group at MoKan dragway as part of their event of July 10,11 and 12. Topics included sanction fees, how many participants, how it would benefit our club and more. General direction of discussion was that it was a lot of work for minimal benefit to the club, but offering a promotion to the other club's members would be a nice gesture and could possibly be beneficial to both organizations with minimal effort required on OMR's part. Motion was made to offer a $5 discount per person towards weekend SCCA membership for members of this other club (referred to in the meeting as "Craig's club") to participate in our July Solo event immediately following their event. (next day) . Motioned by Matt, seconded by Jeff, accepted unanimously Matt stated he will email Craig and CC the board regarding this cross promotion. Tim raised a discussion of Jim's email proposal to the board to bring the Region's trailer and equipment to 100 Acre Woods to promote the Region and SCCA rallycross. Motion to allow Jim Rowland the use of OMR property to promote rallycross presence in the Region. - motioned by Tim, seconded by Matt, approved unanimously Discussion was had concerning an email from Jim to the board regarding scheduling a joint rallycross with the St. Louis Region on April 13 in Salem, MO. Approval of the proposed event was motioned by Matt, seconded by Tim and approval was unanimous. Discussion was held primarily by Matt and Tim concerning ordering SCCA specific forms supplies. These are necessary expenses (for example, waiver forms and the like) and they appeared to this notetaker to be on top of the issue. Sam said that he will get more cones for the Region and it was agreed that he has been previously approved to do so. Also, Curtis pointed out that cones come by the pallet and Sam can receive them at work on his loading dock and greatly reduce the fees compared to if they were to require residential delivery. Thank you, Sam. Discussion was held concerning reviewing supplemental Solo, Rallycross and Road Race rules for the Region. Sam pointed out it's been a long time since these have been reviewed, and specifically that point assignments in Road Racing on the National Level have changed recently in a way that makes our Regional point assignments possibly not make sense. As an aside to the supplemental Regional rules, the possibility of acknowledging the top 10 PAX finishers of the Solo season at the banquet was raised by Scott. It was pointed out by Matt that the Region used to do it and it made sense, especially since we acknowledge the top 10 PAX finishers at the end of each individual event. Sam raised the issue that he has a huge stack of old OMR files going back more than 10 years. He asked if anyone wants to maintain it, or review it before he clears it out. Curtis pointed out that Ted might want to review it. It was pointed out that the stack included Regional newsletters from 1988, and that Bud and Opie were listed in Solo II results and were dominant then, as well. :-) Brief discussion took place concerning the logo contest and Justin and Sara's absence from the meeting. Regional logo contest to be postponed for one month and held at the next BoD meeting. : motioned by Tim, seconded by Matt (grudgingly), approved unanimously Motion to adjourn by Matt, seconded by Tim and approved unanimously
