General Membership Meeting Minutes
March 23rd, 2011

Secretary- Erin Gua
-	Next General Membership Meeting will be Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at 7:30pm at Round Table in Redmond. Room is reserved at 7:00 pm in order for attendees to come eat dinner beforehand. Nico Tomacelli will keep the increased frequency of general membership meetings as long as we keep having regularly increasing attendance.

Treasurer- Marcea Kato
-	Bank balances were reported.
-	Registrations will be processed from the 1st track day during this week.
-	We are still owed money from track day organizations for airfence rental.
-	We're making expense and stipends cuts to cut overall costs.
-	Wristbands will be used to track who has paid gate entry during race weekends. Riders will hold up their wrist as they go by on the right on Sundays if they pay for their gate fees for both days on Saturday.

1st VP- Tim Weig
-	The 1st Annual WMRRA Kickoff party was great! Thanks to Jeff Wieand and Downtown Harley-Davidson Renton for putting that together!
-	We have a lot of corner workers for Taste of Racing (TOR). Will not be doing TOR if the track is wet at all. Riders will sign a liability waiver at gate. They will pay $20 at Registration, Katie or Erin will hand them a blank tech sticker, they will meet up at track exit before lunch starts, TOR staff will tech bikes & write group numbers on the tech stickers.
-	Vintage guys are having a bike show in Ballard on a monthly basis starting in April.
-	E-newsletter was posted at the beginning of last week.
-	South Sound BMW will put on a fundraiser on April 9th from 6-8pm.
-	Mike Sullivan Racing School and 2Fast Motorcycle Racing School & Instruction will both allow a WMRRA booth at their track days. We need volunteers to man these! The track day schedules are posted on www.2-fast.org & www.sullivanraceschool.com. Contact Tim Weig or your rider rep if you're interested in helping out!
-	Become a fan of WMRRA on Facebook!

2nd VP- Jeff Wieand
-	There has been a change to the LW Superbike class in the rulebook. Check the rulebook on wmrra.com to see the change.
-	Check wmrra.com to see the new race day schedule!
-	Registration will open at 6:45am for the 2011 season, and the Riders' Meetings will be held at 8:00am. This shift in the schedule is so that the riders (especially the novices) will have more time to register and prepare themselves before practice begins at 9:00am.

3rd VP- Katie Field
-	Thank you Michael Klotz for stepping up to be scorer!
-	If a grid change or addition needs to be done after the grids are already posted, it will cost the rider a $30 post-entry fee.

President- Nico Tomacelli
-	Turn 2 has been altered. PR's eventual plan is to level Turn 2 off more and extend the run off. 
-	Jeff, Mark and Damon went out to Spokane. It's not safe to run counter clockwise. We are possibly going to run it in the clockwise direction. 
-	Ridge Motorsports Park-hearing on April 6th at 10am there, everyone that can should come!
-	We need to be more respectful when overnight camping for the 2011 season at PR; a select few riders who were too rowdy on their pit bikes in 2010 almost ruined it for everyone. We need to be more respectful of PR's wishes this season.
-	See rulebook online wmrra.com for section E rule change on number plates.
