Subject: Re: [NorcalF200] Let's have a meeting

Some background here....

In my opinion, all of us just want to race. All that really requires at a minimum is enough organization to get us all to the same track on the same day, with roughly equivalent equipment. Pretty much what we have now.

But in talking to people off line and a few of the threads we have had on the board, there is interest in growing the group as big as we can get it, until no more fit on a track. In order to do that takes a little more formal organization, and some idea of how the rest of the world perceives us. The two go hand in hand. 

What I mean by that is that the perception of the other karters is important to us, as they are a major source of new racers for our group., but we also want to attract the "right" kind of racers. Having a formal (yet simple) tech inspection program legitimizes our efforts in a big way, and will scare off the "wrong" kind of racers.

As the group gets bigger, one or two of us buying all of the year end trophies will get unwieldy , so if we do the formalization of creating a "real" board of directors, I think it also comes with a membership fee. The membership fee will be very modest, because all it has to pay for is year end awards, and the purchase and maintenance of a set of tech tools for each championship class we have.

So to me we are not trying to create some big onerous monster. Just a way to keep everything fair and professional for everyone as we grow. The other way is to just keep things like they are, and react to the changes as they occur. The whole formalization thing is just a suggestion.

A Conference call. I have a personal conference call number where all of us can dial in, on any night from our easy chairs. No logistics, no gas, no time wasted to get there.

I suggest simple rules for this meeting. Every driver gets an opinion, everyone gets a vote, simple majority rules. You must be on the call to get a vote, no proxies. Even the new guys (maybe especially the new guys).

Proposed Agenda:

1) How formal do we want to be? 

- post race tech inspection ?

- Year end Trophies ?

- membership dues to pay for the above?

2)  election proposal 

- requirements will be based on the results of #1 above

I think we can have productive conversation, and make some key decisions in about an hour of conference call time. I propose Tuesday Feb 17 at 8:00 PM.

I can't post the conference call number on a public bulletin board, so RSVP to me and I'll give it to anyone interested privately.

Cheers,

If you guys have a conference, I am perfectly willing to join in and
give my 2 cents.  I am also willing to seek the advise of others, if
needed.  On the other hand, I am willing to keep quiet, as I am really
an outsider looking in...

Subject: [NorcalF200] Re: Helmet Cam

Now why on Earth would you want to see a grown man pee himself??!
But seriously, sure I'll bring the camera along. Couple of funny
things about those cameras. First, even with a 2GB card they only
record for 15 minutes (not enough for a whole race). Second, in a high
vibration situation they seem to turn off, IE going down the carousel
you are shaking and bouncing around like a MoFo. But I'll give it a
try!

Hey Brad, any chance of getting some footage of Infineon via helmet cam?

I don't recall that vote (I guess that should be expected when having
a beer during the meeting lol).  I don't want to be the anti-fun
champion here I just think that we should revamp things a bit.
Making decisions via emails and forum posts isn't always the best way
since the written message is often taken the wrong way.  I agree with
you that getting into a bunch of bylaws stuff would not be a fun
thing to do.  Maybe we don't need to get THAT formal.  Refining the
decision making process, yes.  Re-evaluating who is on the board, yes
for a couple of reason I don't want to get into here.

Assuming the weather cooperates, anyone interested in heading out to
the track the weekend of 2/21-22?  Both John and I need to break in our
road racing motors and the first race will be less than a month away at
that point.  I'm thinking PC since that is our first race and a lot of

Puddles and Paul, are you guys going to have your heads back by then?
