New Business

Jerry Doctor submitted several proposals by email to Mark Walker for discussion at this meeting. Jerry was at the SCCA National Convention. After a review of the proposals the following motions were made.

Motion - drop the ladies parallel classes in solo and use only the Ladies Pax class or drive in the open class, John LaRandeau/Garcia, approved by all.

Motion - to be eligible for year end awards, return to the policy where members begin to accumulate points the month they join the Nebraska Region not on a set date, Cisar/Garcia, approved by all.

Motion – All events must have the PERs (Participant Evaluation Reports) passed out, completed and turned in order to evaluate the events and get feedback on the quality of the events and select the best event of the year for the Byers Memorial Trophy, Walker/Garcia, passed unanimous.

Motion on Solo Driver of the Year (Gymkhana Driver Award) – change the policy on scoring the Solo Driver of the Year. Rather than dropping the 3 lowest scoring events as previously allowed, beginning in 2010 only the 2 lowest scoring events will be dropped. The current policy for Solo Class Champions that allows dropping 1 local qualifying event would not change. The Board of Governors reasoned that this change would give members more incentive to compete in more NRSCCA Solo events when competing for the Solo Driver of the Year. Since the Solo Divisional and National Championships are now located in Lincoln, the NRSCCA membership will have an easier time attending these events to qualify for the Solo Driver of the Year. Walker/John LaRandeau, approved by all.

Motion on Rally Cross awards – RallyCross awards will follow the same procedures as the Solo awards except that RallyCross does not have a divisional championship event. It was decided we substitute any National Challenge RallyCross not held in the Nebraska Region for the divisional championship. Walker/Cisar, approved by all.

Motion to adjourn, Cisar/Garcia, passed unanimous, meeting adjourned at 8:26 pm.
