March 8, 2005 Board Meeting - Greensboro, NC

On March 2, 2005, the Board of Directors of the North America Chapter-Sports 2000 Racing Car Club, founded in 2000 by Vaughn Rockney, met to fill three seats with 2005 dues-paid Club members. They were selected based on their participation and, where tied in number of events attended, by the number of points scored in the 2004 NAC-SRCC Championship.

This procedure is outlined in the NAC-SRCC Sporting Regulations.

Michael Crumay of Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, Tom Ash of Cary, North Carolina and Greg Robison of Newark, Ohio were selected and have agreed to serve on the 2005 NAC-SRCC Board of Directors.

Long-time vintage and historic racers Larry Rossi of Woodbury, Vermont and Cap Chenoweth of Stowe, Vermont have agreed to fill vacant Technical Committee seats.

Randall Yow of Greensboro, North Carolina was elected Chairman of the Board. Yow's great experience in the leadership of the "356 Registry" over the last decade, his level head, and his grasp of the essential issues have already served the NAC-SRCC well. Having received the 2004 NAC-SRCC "Rookie of the Year" Award, we look forward to having him chair the April VDCA VIR Round of the NAC-SRCC Championship.

Greg Robison, a long-time Sports 2000 competitor who owns an early Chevron B54, an Apache 86S and has recently acquired an immaculate Lola T-598, was elected Treasurer. He has begun investigating incorporation of the Club in Ohio and is opening a bank account for the Club. The Club is solvent and has an adequate budget for operation with 43 paid members already for 2005!

John Gaither of Kernersville, North Carolina, a tireless booster for the Club, has been re-elected Activities Chair. He will coordinate and assist event chairpersons with activities, awards and relations with our host sanctioning bodies at events throughout the year. John, together with Paul Tavilla, is coordinating the mailing of the latest issue of the English SRCC Club magazine, with wonderful coverage of our US Chapter activities, to every member.

Peter Krause will remain Secretary, Newsletter Editor and a member of the Technical Committee together with Rossi and Chenoweth. Krause will also be the point of contact for new members.

The Technical Committee will function collectively as the Eligibility Scrutineer to help serve as a resource for members seeking to present their cars in the most historically correct and accurate way. Also, the Technical Committee will institute a non-invasive compliance program at selected events this year.

The preparation rules, eligibility and Sporting Regulations will continue unchanged from the past several seasons. We repeat, there are and have been NO changes to the NAC-SRCC eligibility and Sporting Regulations made in the past several years and NO changes are planned or will be made this year.

The 12-event schedule has begun with eleven Club members already out at the first two rounds. We can now offer a stand-alone race group at the Jefferson 500 on the ORIGINAL 2.02-mile course and wish to support both the VARAC Mosport Festival and the Classic Formula Car Racing date at BeaveRun, also with a stand-alone race group, in August. Our season finale at SVRA VIR in October should be as popular as ever!

In short, the Board of Directors of the NAC-SRCC wishes to reaffirm its commitment to the membership and the traditional sanctioning bodies who have supported us in the past. The Board of Directors remain true to the Club's commitment to support Sports 2000 cars built 1986 or earlier at vintage and historic events under "no contact" rules, encouraging social events and recognizing participation above achievement. These are the foundations upon which this Club has sustained terrific growth, and these are the foundations that are true today. Come join us!
