OLD BUSINESS

George Schwartz reviewed his suggestion for changing Show-N-Shine judging to encourage participation.  It would mean that a Show N Shine would be a Peoples Choice Only event.  There would be a class for each of the generations without trying to breakdown the years.  All of the entrants would vote for a car or cars in terms of assigning a point value per car.  The points of the top three cars in each class would go toward year end seasonal points.   Everybody who enters would be eligible for seasonal points.  We would do away with the formal judging process and leave the judging to the entrants.  Entrants would not vote for cars in their own class. 

George reported that he not seen any interest from the clubs in signing up for the committee to review the change and that the general feedback had not been in favor of making any changes.

The scheduling of 2005 events was discussed.  Please get your 2005 club events schedule to Jon Cox as soon as possible.  We would like to support as many club events, sanctions and non-sanctioned, as we can during the season. 

A link to your club website can be established so that members can immediately find the information they need.  Additionally, having an overall event schedule available in summary on the NWACC site would be very helpful.  The events and activities chairmen in each club should provide information to the NWACC webmaster in order to develop this calendar.  It was suggested that the NWCC reps encourage club members to attend other club functions.  It is a great way to meet and establish friendships with like minded people.

NEW BUSINESS

Nominations were opened for the office of president – 2005.  Meagan Renick, CDO, and Jim Duschel, CGCC were nominated.  Nominations were closed and secret ballots were counted.  The 2005 NWACC president will be Jim Duschel, CGCC. 

Ron Waller suggested that NWACC host a 2 day autocross during the 2005 season.  The earlier in the spring it could be held the better.  The first day will be a “teaching” day with instruction given to new participants, a chance to learn terminology and get out and drive the course.  The second day will be a regular autocross. George Schwartz recommends late April or early May.  He will check with Little Creek Casino for rooms. 

The next meeting will be held at 12:00 PM, February 12, 2005, at the High Performance Swap Meet at the Puyallup Fair Grounds.

Meeting was adjourned at approximately 4:45 PM.

Respectfully Submitted by,

Lona R. Hyatt, NWACC Secretary
