Treasurer: Chris Harrison (not present)

No report

Membership: Tony Mitera

Tony has been reaching out to novices with surveys. Better response using Survey Monkey. Mainly positive feedback.

Julie bought 3 new full-face loaner helmets. Tony will keep track of loaner helmet usage by novices.

There has been an incident with forging a parent's signature on the minor waiver. Proposed solutions are to call the parent at registration and/or use flags in MSR. If there's any question on validity of a waiver, bring it to the attention of the Safety Steward.

Activities: Anthony Jackson

We've been using the track and infield at I-80 for RallyCross. It's been working well.

es Moines Region has a solo at RPM on August 17-18. Proceeds will go to flood repairs at the track.

We've had 90 weekend members so far this year.

MiDiv is coming up. It was decided to close registration at 6pm Wednesday to have enough time to create heats and worker assignments.

Fun Run event in September will be an autocross using rallycross rules: cumulative times. Will need to figure out how to handle that in Pronto. Tony is doing the course for the regular Solo the next day.

Registration and Timing Software: Ben Tusa (not present)

No report. Club Racing: Kevin Kopecky (not present)

  • Ten NRSCCA drivers at the Heartland event.
  • Kevin K. is working with Eric (DMVR) and George (Hastings) to secure a date for a 2020 race at MPH (Hastings).
  • Some complaints about event scheduling conflicts. Also need better trophies.

Race Workers: Candy Gerber (not present) No report.

Solo Chair: Julie Heaton

Discussion of setup and work assignments for July 27-28 TnT and Solo.

MiDiv preparations

  • Registration discussed under Activities
  • Do sponsors get work assignments? Decided on "no".
  • Gate person needed post-competition? No, that's up to airport security, since waivers no longer need to be checked.
  • Food: welcome dinner (pizza) and Saturday (catered from Super Saver). Chuck had difficulty finding volunteers, so make helping with food a work assignment?
  • Julie is in the process of sending out Friday work assignments for registration, gate, and Tech.

Good set of volunteers established, could support 12-16 students.

Maximum driving/minimum classroom is important.

Focus Session

Future: Send me your ideas.

Old Business

Board of Governors election. The Board approved Sara McEnhill as interim secretary while Shana is recovering, so that she can work on getting ready for the Board of Governors election. If Shana is still recovering, the completed paper ballots will be mailed to Sara. Possibilty of using MSR for online voting, Sara and Anthony will check into it. Otherwise, Sara can create an online voting site.

New Business

No new business.

Andy motioned to adjourn. Tony seconded. All for.
