February 6, 2008

The meeting was called to order at 7:10 by Guy Stinger. Also present were Tracy, Wade, Traci, and Duane.

The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.

The financial statement was the same as last meeting.

Seven memberships were paid for: Guy, Lisa, and Courtney Stinger, Tracy, Shirley, and Josh Burland, and Duane Olsen.

Guy brought samples of some Pit Stop maps. They looked pretty good. As businesses buy ads, their locations will be high-lighted on them.

February 23 has been confirmed with the Branding Iron for the Karaoke contest, but the judging has not been finalized yet.

Funding for the contest:   $400 for the trip to Las Vegas. (The Navigator is providing an additional $200.)              $100 for spending cash

                                         $250 to the music provider

                                         $250 for advertising

This makes a total of $1000. Entry fee is $25 each, so if we get 40 entries, we will break even.

Tracy reported that Zip Beverage in Missoula, the distributor of Budweiser products, will sponsor $700 in value for the current year. $500 will be in cash, the rest will consist of posters, race jacket etc. We agreed to put a “Chelada” sticker on each race car. Chelada is a new Bud product of Bud Light and Clamato combined.

The poster that Carrie made was approved, but before it will be printed by Zip Beverage, we will have Tracy Olsen proof read it.

Duane had a question on the by-laws, in particular Article III, Section 2, which states anyone involved must be 16 years of age. This was clarified as in order to drive, one must be 16.

Duane said he will get the new membership cards printed up soon.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:00
