Activities

Social

All agreed that the picnic went well. Thought of a spring picnic was discussed for next year.

Solo

Street Survival Candy advised that they are getting everything together and still need a water truck for the event.

Mark Walker advised that Ron Ver Mulm has shown interest in bringing back the championship and would like Nebraska region to hold the Divisional Championships. It was decided to hold off on making a decision so the board can take time to think about it. There is a lot going on next year in solo alone, and serious thought needs to be put into this decision by all.

Some discussion about the Solo Nationals occurred. There will be divisional "compound" tents for all who opted for this. As a special thanks to the Nebraska Region workers who have helped set-up the fence at prior events and at Nationals, there will be a Nebraska Region Compound as well. The new fence will be done in time for Nationals. Set-up should be much quicker with new fence. The practice course goes back another 1k feet to make more room for paddock. Salina Region will be bringing their timing equipment. Nationals may need to use NRSCCA radios. It was announced that there is going to be a Region Cup presented at Nationals this year.

FSAE wants to have an event to practice on the surface on Saturday before our September event on Sunday. More to discuss on this at a later date.
