1. The Board reviewed the previous motion regarding whether ’83 / ’84 cars should be reclassified as HS2’s. Based on further input from the Technical Committee, the Board determined that the previous motion should be put to a member vote before a permanent change to the rules could be made. Richard will draft a formal communication to members. The objective is to distribute the ballot and tally the votes in time for the rule to go in effect in time for the VIR – VDCA event. The points for prior races would be adjusted as appropriate if the rule is passed. The ballot will reflect the following points:
i. The immediate action would classify cars produced on or before 12/31/83 as HS2 vehicles
ii. The ballot will request the consent of the members allow the Board to also classify cars produced on or before 12/31/84 with outboard brakes as HS2 class vehicles once the Technical Committee has reviewed motion.
iii. The overriding reason for the shift of the classes to HS2 is; 1) the basic technology similarity of the ‘83/’84 cars with current HS2 cars and 2) the benefit of balancing the current membership field of cars between S2 & HS2’s
2. Richard provided a report of the current 2008 membership which stands at 35 full members and 4 associate members. It was highlighted that there are at least 8 “high probability” members who haven’t yet renewed. It was agreed that Richard would distribute a list of the possible member candidates which the Board can divide up & call.
3. Richard will be sending the members their new NAC-SRCC stickers this week.
4. The Board agreed to adopt the VSCDA Drivers Conduct Guidelines in principle. The basic table will be used as-is, however the asterisk references to Medical or Technical evaluations will be eliminated (as this is the sponsoring organizations responsibility). The resulting guidelines will be distributed by the SRCC Race Chairman at the next race and available at future events if a Drivers Conduct Meeting is required.
5. Dave has sent a draft of the SRCC Race Chairman Duties to the Board members. Comments should be returned to him ASAP. Dave will incorporate changes and forward to Walter, who will use the Duties list for the Roebling Road race.
6. The meeting was called to a close. The next Board call is scheduled for Sunday May 4th at 4 PM (EDT).
