02 March 2008 - 02/27 Meeting Recap
For anyone that missed the 02/27 meeting, here is a brief recap:
1. Roll call was taken and the roster/telephone list remains under construction. We have a current listing available for interested parties. Please email Lance for your copy.
2. The newly developed website was reviewed and everyone encouraged to take advantage of the "Classified" and "Roster" pages. The site has had over 27,000 hits since January 01, 2008.
3. The shock rule and claim proposal issue was resolved. The unanimous decision is that the existing protest formula will be adequate for enforcement of the shock rule.
4. Tire compounds for 2008 were determined and are posted on the Rules page. Tires are available from Western Speed as well as the SMRA dealer (Jim Birges). There is a points fund established for teams purchasing tires through the SMRA dealer along with additional contingencies from Eibach, Peterson, and ARS. Additional details on the contingency awards as well as other contingency sponsors will be posted as available. Ten Dollars ($10) from each tire sold by SMRA / Jim Birges to a 360 Supermodified will be contributed to the points fund. At conclusion of the 2008 season the points fund will be distributed as follows: 1st Place - 35% 2nd Place - 27.5% 3rd Place - 17.5% 4th Place - 12.5% 5th Place - 7.5%
5. Concerns over the increasing price of methanol has led to research into the possibility of bulk buying discounts and other opportunities to reduce the costs. Please contact Kevin Hays and/or Larry Hinz for additional details.
Thanks to everyone in attendance and for the spirited discussion - one of the keys to our success will be continued communication. As usual, Please direct any questions to David Tuey or Lance Jackson.
