-Curbing discussion raised: Track day organizations are 
asking to use our curbing.
-Pros Raised:
  -Bus stop would be consistant for racers who run track days.
-Cons Raised:  
  -Discussion on previous E-Board rulings that disallowed 
  other organizations from using our equipment.
  -Consequences of loss or damage outweighs any revenue 
  we would make from its rental. 
-Problem was raised regarding spectators standing in exit of the bus 
stop. Solutions were discussed and will be brought up to the race day 
staff. One idea was to possibly finish out the tire wall exiting bus stop.

Photographers must sign that they understand this list before 
receiving their vests.
