Volunteers will be needed to move the trailer from storage to the lot at every event.
 
Discussion of annual tech for solo.  Solo chairman Scott wishes to allow OMR/SCCA members with 3 years good standing to get their car teched once per year at their first event of that year and then to present a card indicating tech approval at each subsequent event without having to have the car teched again.  Annual tech approval will be at the tech inspector's discretion.  It will be the competitor's responsibility to keep the card, to get a tech sticker from the tech worker, and display the sticker on the left top of the windshield at every event.  Furthermore, if the car is modified or changed in any way, the competitor must have the car teched again.

2. June 28, Lebanon, MO
3. Aug. 23, Lebanon, MO
4. no date yet (Oct.?), joint rallycross with NEOKLA near Vinita, OK
Due to the renting of the track at Lebanon to a different operator, those dates at Lebanon are not yet confirmed but Justin will follow up.
 
There was a presentation by brothers Kyle Williams and Zach Williams, Salem, MO, regarding seeking support for putting on a stage rally in SW Missouri.  They came on behalf of the 100 Acre Woods Performance Rally Group and this would be sanctioned by Rally America.  It was pointed out that OMR cannot be officially involved due to insurance limitations and risks, but that individual members can participate as they wish.  The main effort at this time is in contacting county commissioners to seek permission to use the roads in the rural counties to the east of Springfield.
