August 23, 2007

The meeting was called to order at 7:30 by Guy Stinger. The location was Wade Shepard’s shop. Also present were Wade and Traci Shepard, Lisa Stinger, Tracy Burland, Josh Burland, Danny Krahn, Lynn Olsen and Duane Olsen.

Minutes were read and approved from the last meeting.

Financial reports were distributed to the members.

Tracy reported on a call he had received from Spokane Raceway Park promoter Rick Rice. Rice had gotten a call from the promoter of Mission Valley Speedway, Corky Sias, to the effect that we (BSPRA) were not a viable show, and that SRP would be better served if they did not put us on their schedule. Tracy explained that our show consists of 8 to 10 cars of limited late model configuration, and that we bring our own officials, announcer, and supply our own purse. Rice said that the date of September 8 is still on the schedule for the Rocky Mountain Pro Stocks.

Due to the anger generated by the call to Spokane, we decided not to race the scheduled race at Mission Valley Speedway on August 25.

At this time, it looks like we will be able to take 10 cars to Spokane.

Wade had taken his motor out to freshen it up, and we inspected it, and put a new seal on it. The 4 car should be ready to race in plenty of time.

The 6 car needs the most work to get ready, due to the flywheel explosion in June. Jarred’s hobby motor is available, but it needs a little work. Wade said he would get it ready, and install it. Others said they would help when they can.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:30
