Guy called the meeting to order at
7:10 p.m.
Brad gave the financial report. Currently $1913.83 in
checking; $4795 accounts receivable; $1211.70
Equipment- for a net worth of $7845.53. Total pre-sold
racing tickets is now $525.00. Stageline and Kerr
Cellular also have said that they want to buy tickets.
Brad also has $50 that needs to be deposited. The
insurance has been paid.
Tracy has the contract with PFI to
sign. They want the rent check before the weekend when
Shawn will be building the track. Smith Paving will
provide the road grater on Saturday. Shawn will start
on the track at 1:00. Anyone interested can race in
the Quad and motorcycle classes. The Quads must have
nerf bars and tether. Lynn found about 200 straw and
hay bales. They will give us the straw bales free, but
will have to pay for any of the hay bales that are
broke and unable to return. Tracy has truck to haul
them with. Car Club is going to rent one booth. If
everyone that has shown interest and talked with Tracy
shows will have about 20 booths. Jack Cross will be
there with fireworks for the main. There is some
concern with the Race of Champions. The racers that
Shawn has talked with want their main last, as the
feature event but have concerns if something were to
happen and a car got wrecked. It was told to Shawn that
this race isn’t a must have, they do have other cars
that are used for exhibitions but don’t think that they
will have them together before the race date. It was
also discussed about possibly giving the guys who put
up their cars for the exhibition race extra money. This
will be talked about more with Shawn and decided before
the races start on Saturday. The line up will be laid
out on Saturday after they see who shows up. Would like
to display cars at Ace, Walmart, Super !, Don Addsen.
Also have some pro-stocks at Don Addsen for the live
radio broadcast.
Will decide the workers on
Saturday. The Outlaws have their own wrist bands that
they will use for the pit gate and that will identify
people that will be allowed to camp. We will honor
their bands if people walk over to the stand from the
pits.
We are about $400 short for the
purse at this time. We just have to write a check to
the Outlaws and they do the payout among the racers.
Wade motioned to get a check for
$350 to PFI for rental of the fairgrounds, a check for
$2000 deposit, and if we use the lights will write a
check that night. Jarred seconded the motion. Motion
passed unanimously.
The posters say Outlaw Sprint Cars
instead of Carts. Tracy got a call about this. All of
the articles are correct and we will refer any question
on the races to Shawn, as far as different classes and
what will be racing.
Letter regarding the agreement
between BSPRA and MVAR was in the Leader this week.
MVAR wants to know about BSPRA helping at work parties
and the possibility that we would have 4 cars to run
the jamboree. They were told that this year we will see
how relations go and in the future will probably do
more for the speedway. It was decided that if anyone
wants to run at the jamboree, they will be running with
MVAR super stocks. Feel like it would confuse the
audience if BSPRA has advertised that we have 10+ car
show and only show up with 4 cars, the fans would
wonder why there are two groups of cars that look the
same but are running two different races. Plus, May 7th
is also our tech day. Chuck Morigeau and Dan are
already planning on running with their supers, and
possibly others.
Dan may tech at Wades if that
night works better for him, and also Shawn Blixt if he
decides to join BSPRA.
Duane said that it was okay to use
their car for the pace car. He can’t assure that he
will be at every race, but would like to be and would
allow someone else to drive it. Still need to check
with Kirk regarding lights. Kirk may do the pit boss
but also can’t commit to being at every race. Lisa said
that Tim would do it if needed.
After Swap meet we will order
tires. Need about $3000 to get the tires that are
needed for the year.
Next meeting will be Thursday,
April 21st, 7 pm Plum Creek.
Josh motioned for adjournment at 7:50 pm. Lisa
seconded. Meeting adjourned. |
