REport
In my last REport I rescheduled two of our events on dates that are not available at the drag strip. The May 30th event that I wrote about in last month’s report had to be cancelled because of a drag race at Red River Raceway on that date. The June 27th event was moved from Red River
Raceway to Please check our website on a weekly basis to see what develops with potential new events and pending scheule changes. That’s all for now. Have fun, and most of all be safe. Rick Bagnard |

June · Rick Bagnard, R.E., called the meeting to order in a new venue; Chef Lee’s Chinese Restaurant (which seemed to be enjoyed by all). · Since the March minutes: - The June TLAC event was moved to July 18th in order to allow participation in the S.W. Division’s event on 6/12 & 1/13. - The Axware Timing & Scoring Program was purchased and initiated at the May 2nd event. - A power inverter was purchased to allow the computer to run off an automobile battery. · The Secretary Treasurer was absent from the April 5th meeting and no minutes were taken. A treasurer’s report was submitted via e-mail to the executive committee prior to the meeting. · It was announced that Red River Raceway would come under new ownership and possibly management effective 6.16.04.

The new owners are Ken and Molly Hall; current owners of the Hallsville, Tx drag strip. ·
The June event will be on 6.27.04 at the · There was discussion regarding whether to award the H.G. Rogers year-end award on the basis of pax points vs. overall points. It was pointed out that the award was also based on worker’s points and, as such, could not be effectively based on pax points. The scoring method was left as is. · The issue of coverage of one of our events, for publicity, by Red River Radio was discussed further (prior discussion in e-mail between Exec. Committee). The feeling was positive as long as the club was allowed to edit the final program and it complied with SCCA rules regarding non-spectator events. · The need for a new gas powered leaf blower to help clear the courses was made by John who advised that a used/recondition Poulan machine could be obtained for under $75.00.

John related that an old club member had purchased 4 beach umbrellas for this purpose and would see if those were available. If not, he will investigate purchasing new tents. · This issue of temporary class numbers and letters was resolved by determining that they will be made using low adhesive shelf contact paper and large markers. Connie agreed to obtain these supplies and will be reimbursed. · A proposed set of TLAC 4 General instructions was approved. · A proposal to modify the Tech Inspection sheet to a form similar to that used at TLAC 3 was approved and a new tech sheet will be designed and submitted to the Exec.
