Z Club President takes the floor
The Z Club, which is under a larger umbrella of Nissan car clubs, is requesting an autocross put on by SASCA in conjunction with a few other types of events (car show and drift event) at their proposed premier Nismo Fiesta event slated for April. Numbers of participants are promised along with sponsors. The Z Club has their own million dollar insurance to cover the event. Date is set for April 3rd. Ricky suggests a list of entrants a few days ahead of time. SASCA members are welcome to run their cars on the course.

Jay Cryderman made a motion to vote on committing to put this event on for the Z Club: all are in favor!

Suggestions
Craig suggested a drive before the Year End Party. Diane was unanimously appointed.
Ricky reminds us that memberships can now be easily paid for online at axwaresystems.com/axorm !

Meeting adjourned at 8:38 pm.

Did we not present Novice trophies last night? I had to step out for a minute but there is no mention in the minutes.

Hey Ricky, what about scheduling a "Test & Tune" event on a Saturday prior to an autocross event on Sunday?  Kinda similar to the A&M club at their Riverside Annex.  Charge a fee for unlimited runs.  It'll be fun & create additional revenue for the club.  Just a thought.

Sorry for the late response, but no. They weren't. Ricky told me tha Kevin gave them out at the event. I'm not sure about this past event as I cannot stay late since I always have to go home, nap for a few hours, then go to work that night.
