Old Business:

New Business:

Marc Lees and Tom Young gave a presentation on the motorsport of TSD Road Rallying. They explained the different types of rallies: Time, Speed and Distance Rallies. The number of clubs doing rallies is dwindling now because it is so much work to put one together. They handed out copies of Road Rally 101 and we had several members show interest in our club having a trip. The speakers did a good job of getting the group excited over this fun event.

For the Good of the Order—

David Barlow said Earlene Starnes is interested in selling some of her late husband’s cars. Wayne had some beautiful cars and some project cars so contact David Barlowe if you are interested in seeing what is available.

50/50 Raffle: Logan Keller won the amount of $51.00.
