Default Yah. Not sure on events yet. Need to get a few track schedules we work at first

before I set our full schedule.

Will likely see you a few times for sure!

Default I'm guessing he means scooch while they're measuring. Of course, if it's about safety...

... then I see your point.

I'm always amazed by the roll hoops that satisfy SCCA standards, like the Miatas and British racers that have no windscreens and the roll cage is behind the driver's head. If there is a rollover, isn't the driver exposed?

Default Hmm, what didn't you like the way the club was run?

I don't know which way the club is heading, but I liked Randy Pobst and other drivers being allowed to attend events, and it would have been nice for some of the good directors to continue to serve (e.g. Craig Leichty). I hope that doesn't change.

Default The board in place in 2006 basically ran Randy Pobst and pro drivers right

out of the club.

That is the truth.

Default I very much dislike the way a lot of things have been handled. It's not Craig I have an issue with.

FWIW, the amendments were horrific and I'm dismayed that they passed. Why any voting member would vote themselves FURTHER from a democracy (it's now nigh-impossible to call a special meeting) or vote a PAID EMPLOYEE (executive director) into a voting position on the executive commitee, I cannot understand.

Default I'm less concerned about the 'pro drivers' and more concerned about the way the board has...

taken the way for the membership to have any ability to directly influence the club's agenda. Plus giving the executive director a vote was a debacle.

Default Yep. I would love to know who exactly voted to limit their own rights. Makes a lot of sense, huh!?

And yes, giving the Exec Dir a vote was about as bad as it gets.
