Call to order: Curtis.
 
Secretary's report:  motion to waive the reading of the minutes by Jeff, second by Matt.  Passed.
 
Treasurer's report: a few bills yet to be paid from the recent autocross.
Motion to accept the report by Curtis, second by Bud.  Passed.
 
Discussion of how to reimburse members who transport the timing trailer to events.
Motion to give the person who tows the trailer to or from the event 50 cents per mile by Matt, second by Justin.  Passed.
 
Autocross report: the recent event in Neosho was considered a success by those in attendance.  There was enough help and the course was good for being on a small lot.  There were 50 entrants.
 
The next event at Ducks was discussed.  The lot looks OK but will need to be blown off and/or swept off.  It is also uncertain if the bathrooms will be open for the event.  Curtis will check with the manager to confirm.  Curtis will also rent a blower for the event and will confirm the date for the next event at Ducks in May.
Motion to purchase 6 sturdy push brooms with stiff bristles by Curtis, second by Matt.  Passed.  Curtis will purchase.
 
Discussion of timing trigger hoses for rallycross events.  The regular autocross timers will not work in dusty conditions.  Jim Rowland is working on it and there will be some expense.
Motion to allow up to $150 expense to Jim and up to $350 to Matt for the parts for the timing hoses by Jeff, second by Matt.  Passed.
 
Discussion of the future of OMR's rallycross program.  It was discussed and generally agreed upon that OMR would continue to stage rallycross events, that it was hoped that the rallycross program would grow in the future, and that it was acceptable at this time for the program to more or less break even to give the program time to grow.
 
Motion to adjourn by Curtis, second by Tim.  Passed
