Discussion of how to increase participation at solo events and the idea of offering someone who has entered OMR solos with a weekend membership the opportunity to have OMR SCCA dues paid for one year to become an SCCA member.
Motion that a solo entrant who has purchased four weekend memberships in one year be granted the priviledge of having an OMR SCCA membership paid for one year by OMR at the request of the entrant, with appropriate announcements made at the events, up to a maximum of 20 people in one year, by Bud, second by Scott.

Discussion of end of year acknowledgement for top drivers in OMR solo PAX competition.  Idea that floated to the top was to create a calendar as an award for those drivers, similar to what Don Wilson handed out at awards banquet, except with the top 12 drivers of the year in PAX points pictured.  Bud offered to calculate the points at the end of the year.
 
Trailer cleaning: Justin A. and Stan Bell have been working on it.  Justin will evaluate the condition of the trailer, tires, and etc.  Scott will find out if we can park the trailer at Crowder like last year.  There are some lights out that need to be fixed.
Motion for Justin to submit invoices next meeting on any repairs needed for the trailer by Matt, second by Tim.  Passed.
 
Solo equipment discussion: radios and batteries should be adequate.  There is a potential need for an air compressor at events to help those newer competitors who may not have enough pressure in their tires.  Tim and Forrest Tindall will bring portable air compressors to explore need and quality of compressors.  Timing and scoring equipment: all in good condition although upgrading to more robust tripods would help reliability.
