Rallycross
The February 20 rallycross was cancelled because of the potential sale of the I-80 site. NRSCCA was not informed of the sale until the last minute. The I-80 site will not be available for use if the pending sale goes through. Mark and Howard Duncan, from the national office, visited with Lincoln Airpark about any available sites for rallycross. There are several options that are being checked out and will be reported on soon. These sites are of great potential would also be available for the National Championship Rallycross.

Old Business
Jan brought up the Street Survival School, a discussion followed, more on this later.
It was decided to go ahead and order the new club helmets. Members will also be able to place a helmet order through the club. Prices for white or black helmets - $72 and $75 for colors, C131 HJC. The club will purchase 1 small, 3 medium, 3 Large and 3 XL. We will also purchase head socks. No update on the Policies and Procedures Manual. John LaRandeau presented Mark with a bond signed by John as the treasurer.
New Business
Jan Gerber reported on incentives for the club racing workers. Discussion on incentives to use, more on this later.
Tim Heaton presented proposals for the NRSCCA junior cart program. They are as follows:
- An addition of Formula Junior C (Ages 5-7). A separate smaller course (away from the regular course) that will be timed by a stopwatch. Exclusive grid and paddock area. The Formula Junior C’s will run when the other cars are not running. This will be addressed during the drivers meeting.
- Propose to reduce the Solo entry fee amount for Formula Junior Competitors to half the amount of a regular member entry fee. Neighboring regions have already offered discounted entry fees to Formula Junior Competitors.
- Add a “Pro Pax” to our region solo class listing. This would be similar to our “Street Tire” and “Ladies Pax Classes”.
- Update the Nebraska Region’s Membership Directory. It has not been updated since 2008. Julie Heaton would like approval to cover the expenses of the new Directories and mailing costs.
Motion/second to accept all four proposals Walker/Buell, approved by all Board members.
John LaRandeau reported that one of our members passed away this week. Dave Brown. He was a long time active member and participated in Solo.
John also asked the Board members if they had a chance to look at the 2010 tax return he prepared, all agreed it looked OK. John also reported that the club now has three debit cards, John has one, Mark has one and Ann LaRandeau has one. This should make purchases and accounting easier. Receipts will still be required to be turned in.
Jan Gerber suggested the website be updated to be more current. Mark said he would give Jan’s list to Christy Carlson, webmaster. It was also suggested the event cancellations be prominently placed on the first page of the website.
Matt Cox is the new Forum Moderator
Discussion on the registration sites, Motorsports Reg and DLB. More on this later.
Motion/second to adjourn, Gerber/ Walker approved by Board members, meeting adjourned at 9:58 pm.
