-Second novice classroom session is June 30. Experts needed for the classroom session to talk about racing. Third novice classroom session is possible and will be announced later. 
-2Fast and Sullivan are possibilities for standardizing novice training. We have the longest classroom session of any organization, so the org will have to be approved and certified by us. We are open to suggestions or other organizations.

-Air Fence setup for May weekend will be Saturday at 6 am because of High School drags and tear down on Monday, after NESBA event.

-Race Director reports: SS visual tear downs will happen at track exit, visual check at pit gate and grid will be more consistent this year. We are assigning a pit steward specifically to be at track exit after these events.
-SS shut down sequence at grid will continue.

Superbike Rep - Jeff Webber
-No report

Vintage Rep - Duncan Craick
-First SOTP will be at the May PR race.

New Business
Proposal: Brent Prindle
-Many “special events” that are not part of the regular race weekend schedule are added to the WMRRA schedule. This includes, but is not limited to, endurance races, sidecars, and special vintage weekends. This takes away from practice times. The prices for registration proposed to be pro-rated on the following formula: 
ProRatedFee=(Fee x (TotalTrackTime – EventTrackTime))/TotalTrackTime
ProRatedFee: is the pro-rated fee
Fee: is fee from registration form less Medic One fee
TotalTrackTime: is the total track time found by adding up all scheduled track time including practice and racing.
EventTrackTime: is the total amount of track time for the event including practice and racing.
-This fee structure will ensure that the “special event” being added will be able to stand on it’s own financially and not subsidized.

Points raised:
-Disagreement, because you are paying for racing, not practice. The loss or gain of practice should not be guaranteed.
-Sidecars want to run whole schedule and are shown to make money.
-Credit will be issued for endurance weekend, this was already approved by E-Board.
-Discussion tabled

Good of WMRRA
-Announcement that you ARE allowed minor work on bike in hot pits during an endurance race red flag. This has been questioned to the President.
-May Friday camping allowed? President will announce PR’s answer to the lists. 
-The Burgess’s will have Cinco De Mayo event after races.
