  1. Qualifying will be 3/6 State Qualifiers and still 8 local races.  What if we only gave credit for 8 local races, no points, and points earned will be for the State Qualifiers only? Open for discussion.

 

  1. Clerking issues.  Timing of r ace reports.  If we maintain points for local racing we need to have reports in asap for the posting on the website.  Our goal is always out by the 5-10th of every month.   Please could clerks at each track print off reports and post at their tracks. This would help riders who do not have access to internet.

 

  1. $5 budget for trophy of the day per qualifier or a large  Georgia State Design and medals to fill the slots for the 6 qualifiers. Make each medal a collectors piece?
