Old Business:

1.      Trophies: Mark Senior and Eric Danielson have been informed by the BoD for their wish to upgrade trophies for the remainder of the 2015 season. It was decided by the BoD that it will be okay to exceed the budget to return to photograph type trophies for the Goblins Go and 13 hour events. RE has asked that Sara Snider (Race Chair) be involved in what format will be chosen for the 13 hour event. There would also be a possible team photo for the 13 hour event, and it will need to be communicated to the teams as to how photos will be taken if this is possible. It is noted that there should be a conversation with F&S as to the possibilities of doing this.

2.      2016 Schedule: Due to SARRC rules, the Region will need to drop some races from its schedule in 2016. The BoD has decided to drop the March event to a single while trying to keep both October and May as double events. Rex is to confirm this with SEDiv.

New Business:

1.      Region Directory: Our Charter indicated that we publish a member list. James Shanks indicated that he can produce a spreadsheet with all necessary membership info, and that can be e-mailed, or printed and requested as needed. It was also mentioned that a possible distribution point could be the annual awards banquet. There was some concern about website availability as non-members would have access to this information. This will be a budget item for 2016.

2.      Sanction Fees: It is noted that we need to review how sanction fees work. In October for example, will we pay six separate fees, or will we pay a single fee for the entire weekend?

3.      Supps: Mike Spencer reported that for the 13 hour event this October, all closed wheel classes will be eligible for participation including: GT, Prod, Super Prod, Super Touring, etc. It was also noted that we need to make contact with Kerrigan Smith as to our lighting issue with the Start stand. There will need to be illumination on the stand so flags will be visible at night. Also noted are updates to the Supps with regards to curbing. There needs to be clarity as to what is acceptable such as, in the dirt is not acceptable, on the pavement is acceptable. Last, there will need to be an update to the fees on both the Supps and entry form as they do not currently match. They need to read $195 SARRC, $195 TCPS, and $250 ECR.

4.      Mid-Year Meeting: Rex was not able to attend the Mid-Year Meeting this year. He had submitted a schedule with amendments as noted above.

Motion to adjourn at 9:00 pm (Keadle/Stitt) Passed
