OLD BUSINESS
Darrell briefly mentioned the Naperville project outline. Carl said he had walked the track and was concerned by the lack of runoff and other issues including drainage ditches. There was a short discussion.
Hopefully each BoD will be able to check out the track before the next meeting so we can determine whether to continue with the presentation or not.
Brian is still looking for sponsors. The helmet sponsor did not pan out as had been hoped.
SERIES
If possible, we should continue to do a “novice run” on Saturday after the regular racing is completed. Brian said he could supply a kart for the “novice run”.
We need to promote the BHF event as much as possible: Press Releases to news papers, radio, TV, etc. Scott said he would do Pre-race PR’s. Joe Cassidy would be able to provide photos.
Dave Larson complained to Carl that the club should have promoted 3 race dates not the 5 has we have done. Larson was worried that no one would join CES, only RVKC.
Need to put series info on eKN
