The Comp Board Chairman is responsible for racing, the Solo Chairman for Solo events, and the Activities Director for Rally events. Carried. Barbara Luther reported on the Glen Region accepting credit cards for race entry fees. In March at the NEDiv Council meeting the Region agreed to be the "test" region for credit card payments with on line registration. The cost of this experiment will be borne by the NEDiv Council. An application has been filed with the Chemung Canal Bank to obtain a Merchant Account that is needed in order to process credit card payments. We also will offer this service to drivers who register by mail or at the track. The cost per credit card transaction is about 2.5%, depending on the volume. A full report will be given as soon as the paper work is completed with the bank and with the web master who handles the on line registration. August 28 Rally will be held with Finger Lakes. Rose Valley Hill Climb will be held July 30 & 31. Jim Newpher will be honored at the Saturday Night Dinner.
