that weekend, there was a few new members as result, some of the members that
came out to help man the booth were Kent & Heather Sawyer, Pat Scopelitti,
Jeanne Peterson, Skip Testut and I’m sure several others. Rob has received calls of interest in the
rally program from the MG car club group.
There was discussion about getting a group together to try to organize a
support team to help out rally masters.
Rob is going to keep perusing this.
Rob also set up an e-mail server account with team.net. This is a free service. The solo program has been using this forum

CORRESPONDENCE: We received a thank you note from Bill Green
for the flowers the region sent him in the hospital. A letter was received from John Walsh
regarding the use of transponders according to the GCR. A confirmation letter from WGI was received
in regards to our 2 race weekends for this year.
OLD BUSINESS:
A letter from WGI was received pertaining to the concession stand and
the usage guarantee. There was
discussion about the need to have stand open or not. What we could do to make sure the guarantee
is met. Also the new rental fees for the
use of the WGI picnic tables. Also discussed was the $1,500 discount for the drivers school/regional
weekend if we use WGI catering for the party.
All this information will be passed onto the competition board to
explore.
Roundtable 2002 has been reserved at the
Holiday Inn Painted Post. Sandy and Barb
would still love to have more volunteers to help put this event together. Please call either one if you can help out.
Sandy Nolan will be buzzed on WENY on April

NEW BUSINESS:
A need for a computer in tech was expressed. There was discussion about what the needs
are. We asked that tech come back to us
with the specs for what they need to be able to do to see if one of our current
systems will work for them or if we do need to purchase a system.
Rob brought up the need for a TV/VCR unit
when we do car shows or any other public endeavors. There was discussion about how we could use
this equipment at Solos, Racing, Rallying.
He will explore the possibility of donation or check into pricing of a
unit.
