This year’s meeting was called to order by Outgoing Senior
Co-Chair James Adamson whom after a few statements turned the meeting over to
Incoming Senior Co-Chair Wayne Rogers.
Wayne did not allow for any workday
in his 2016 racing schedule due to circumstances beyond the Club’s control. The
members were asked if any problems existed that they knew of, that needed
attention?
Work Items: A. The Soft wall in
front of the Marlin Wade Timing hut needs attention. That's because of some
broken boards or the Fill line Black Pipe may be cracked. Wayne said during the
February test & tune it would be looked at to determine what repairs would
be made.
Treasurer's Report: Presented by Treasurer David Popham. The
2015 Financial Report was accepted and will be amended for 2016.
Amendment: Scott Harper brought up this idea.
Since LPR was not hosting a NCS race event in the 2016 racing year, to offset
the loss of income, his idea was to drop the lawn service contract that cost $1,200.00
per year for the 2016 racing season. Have the club purchase a self- propelled
lawn mower and cut inside the fence area ourselves. This idea was discussed at
length and a vote was taken for the motion. The gas of choice will be VP Small
Engine Fuel! Mike Clark will bring the first 5 gallon can. The motion carried
by 8 voting members.
Membership: Still need to be a QSAC
member to race at LPR this year. The $50.00 membership fees will be split again
between the club and QSAC membership.
Track Sanctions: For the 2016 year
the club will provide QSAC track sanctioning.
Call for 2016 Elections:
Nominations for In-Coming Jr. Co-Chair, Tim Smith was nominated and was elected
by a show of hands.
David Popham & Mike Clark will
carry on in their respective jobs as Treasurer and Secretary.
James Adamson will carry on as LPR Multimedia
Specialist.
Points Scoring 2016: The 2015
scoring system will be used again in 2016.
Racing Schedule: The 2016 racing
schedule is carried as is, No changes!
Man Up Rule: man up rule was
carried over to 2016.
Lucky Dog Rule: The Lucky Dog Rule was voted
down (6 to 4) and will not be used this year.
Classes: Limited Sportsman Trophy Class (3) 35
lap qualifiers , (1) 100 Lap Mains, 75 lap – fuel – 25 lap shoot out.
Sportsman Trophy Class (3) 50 Lap Qualifiers,
(1) 150 Lap Main.
As far as other classes still takes
three (3) cars to make a class, no trophy!
Mandatory Technical Inspection: 1st
Points Race of the Year - 2016 Technical Committee from 2015 will be
inspectors.
Sportsman Rules: Discussions for
the 3 spin rule. The intentions of the Co-Chairs are to keep the flow of the
race consistent when entertaining the three spin rule during all racing at Lagoon
Park Raceway. The three (3) spin rule will be used at the discretion of the
Race or Competition Director at the time of the race. Any car in a race that is
spinning out unaided will be directed to take their car to the pits for a
Mandatory adjustment after the third spin. If a car is that loose it is a
danger to all who race with you. No one wants to take home a damaged car! Also
a spinning car is not a competitive car either. Our goal is for all the racers
at LPR to have an enjoyable time while racing!
Unaided spins:
1. Looping your car off of turn
two (2) or turn four (4).
2. Spinning out going into turn one (1) or
turn three (3).
Standard 50 lap Qualifier For Spin
1, You may be able to write off as cold tires? For Spin 2, I would be in the
pits wrenching on my car! For Spin 3, You will be Directed to the pits for that
Mandatory Adjustment! For Spin 4, You will be asked to remove your car from the
race for repairs!
