Len Tucker: 2010/2011 NWACC Budget Discussion
For the 2010 year, NWACC spent approximately $2,400 more than it received. Len took a stab at
formulating a budget for the next fiscal year for NWACC. He welcomed anyone who wants to volunteer to help him formulate the new budget.

George Schwartz: Vice President Comments and Autocross Committee Report
A few weeks ago, George received an e-mail from the Port of Shelton, confirming the five dates that we will use for Shelton. They are as follows.

    May 15. 2011                  Autocross event hosted by NWACC
    June 19, 2011                 Autocross event hosted by NWACC
    July 17, 2011                   Autocross event hosted by NWACC
    August 14, 2011             Autocross event hosted by Classical Glass Corvette Club
    September 18, 2011      Autocross event hosted by NWACC

The Port of Shelton is still working at putting their budget together for the new year. George has been
told that there will be an increase. Last year the port raised the fee to $20 overall and so George does not anticipate a large increase. Once the port has their budget done and the contract ready for George to sign, they will tell George what the per-event cost will be. George does not foresee a difference in how the fee is set up regarding the Sani-Can fee. George will be reminding the port that they need to be more proactive in ensuring cleanliness regarding SaniCans. When there is a Saturday event at the Port of Shelton for which someone else pays, there needs to be some work done on the SaniCans to prepare for the next day because there are only two units and there are 125 people for that day. You cannot do it with the setup that they have now.

Randy Free: Autocross Equipment Committee
Initially, the committee’s focus was on updating autocross equipment. However, even if you upgrade
the equipment, there will always be incidences of equipment failure and so the committee has changed its focus to equipment redundancy – maintaining equipment replacement parts. Currently, there are two NWACC clubs who maintain autocross equipment.

Dave Kaiser: Insurance Committee
NWACC insurance program will continue to be provided by K&K Insurance. Outgoing NWACC president. Dave Kaiser volunteered to continue on as chairperson of the NWACC Insurance Committee. Incoming president Randy Free accepted his offer.

About 50 percent of at-large members have renewed their membership in NWACC. A new list will be forthcoming and Dave will pass that list on to Jon Cox to post on the NWACC web site.

Nominations for Board Positions of President and Secretary
Previous nominations were Randy Free for President and Kevin Jewell for Secretary. No new
nominations were submitted today and there are no write-in candidates. The NWACC Board of
Directors and Officers decided voting would be done by affirmation. No opposition to either candidate. Both candidates unanimously approved.

Of note, Dave Kaiser as outgoing president will transition into the position of Director. This position is not a voting position. Dave will also become an at-large member. He asked that Randy Free who is the incoming President to consider allowing him to serve as the At-Large Members Representative to the NWACC Board. Randy agreed.

Changes to 2010 Constitution, By-Laws, and Competition Code
Dave Kaiser submitted a rules change proposal to the competition code regarding hosting an event,
specifically regarding timing of scheduling an event.

Vicky McCoy, club representative from Rose City Corvettes, submitted a rules change proposal to the competition code regarding hosting an event and regarding awards. She also submitted a proposal to the speed event guidelines.

George Schwartz submitted a rules change proposal to the speed event guidelines regarding wording in the title of speed event guidelines.

Members of the NWACC Autocross Committee on Safety (George Schwartz, Randy Free, and Kevin Jewell) submitted a rules change proposal to the speed event guidelines regarding unacceptable driving actions and penalties.

George Schwartz submitted a rules change proposal regarding hosting an event, specifically drivers and scoring.

George Schwartz and Chuck Hulka submitted a rules change proposal to the competition code regarding Show and Shine judging sheets.

Copies of the above-listed proposals were distributed and discussion ensued and their electronic forms will be available on the NWACC web site. Club representatives are to take the proposal information back to their respective clubs for their vote. Then the club representatives will vote on these proposals at the NWACC meeting on February 12, 2011, in Puyallup. It will be a yes or no (approve or reject) vote.
