It is probably in someone's briefcase or laptop at Road America. I would not expect it to show up too soon (like after the Rub-Offs).

So nothing about the IT rule proposal?

That is pending the next BOD meeting. As you can see in the Fastrack, the BOD minutes published here are from their August meeting.

When is the next BOD meeting?
Found this interesting and too bad: Stats show that if 100 people join year zero, only 15 renew by year 4.

Not 100% sure, but I think it's early October.
So we now get the BMW E46 330 up to 2006.
Did anyone consider the ZHP option package that was available in 2004? Better camshafts for 10 more hp stock, plus a 6-speed transmission. Had that package been available in the original model years the car would have weighed nearly 150 lbs more. Can we expect this to be fixed?

Yes, just an oversight. Can you please write a letter to crbscca.com so it gets tracked and corrected?

How about this, near the bottom of page 4.
"Runoffs 2012 - Need to start discussing process. Current contract runs thru 2011. Need to determine if we want to extend current
venue or pursue new venue. Some discussion about possibility of Austin."
Austin?
Austin?
Where have I heard something about a race track in Austin?

I think they were tryign to suggest that the ST category rules forbid changing the factory silhouette outside of allowed mods, and as such wasn't going to be changed specifically for the STU class.
but it does read pretty f'ed up.
corrolla XRS to ITS. same motor: celica GT-S? ITR. both FWD, IRS, etc... someone please 'splain.

I don't see how they could possibly think about Austin. A track that has JUST been introduced to the local politicians, and has had NO studies done on traffic, drainage, and on and on. NO permits have been applied for to my knowledge, much less approved. HOW they will get this built in time, while going through the normal channels is beyond me. This isn't some other country that will fasttrack such a project....if a group of neighbors decides to fight, and hires a lawyer, even the approved permits will get brought to court and then that decision will be appealed. It could take years....

No convertible made in the past 30 years has a removable windshield. Why allow the removal of a major piece of structure now?
The next venue will be Orlando, many in Cal-club are already bemoaning the extra drive time. After that maybe Miller.

You must live in Connecticut and not Texas.
I'm just glad a new track is proposed for my general area.

Since your economy is doing so well, and land is reasonablly cheap, why not encourage your region build their own track?
>> Stats show that if 100 people join year zero, only 15 renew by year 4.
Not even remotely surprising. I got my current member number in the early '80s (103210). If someone joined today, what would their number be? The difference is the number of people who've been through the revolving door.
My "try not to get sucked in" motivation generally keeps me from delving into stuff like board minutes but I did get a kick out of this:
>> BoD in general would like to see more turnover in the advisory boards, but with structured succession.
They certainly got that this past year or so, huh? The first part, anyway...

You mean like in Palmer, MA?

My point was/is the Texans consider Texas another country.
There are 2 good tracks within 1.5 hours of Houston, depending on where in the urban sprawl one lives. Texas World Speedway and Motorsport Ranch Angleton. No need for a new local track here, especially since it's flat. Austin is in the hill country and the elevation changes will be welcomed.
