Minues from the April Meeting

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0930

Good evening Everyone,

Please find attached the minutes from last Thursday's meeting. I urge you all to have a very thorough read of the minutes as we had representatives from the Steel City Drag Club attend the meeting If you read the minutes you will see everything that was discussed.

The discussion was about a proposal that SCDC put forward regarding a merger of the two clubs. Our May meeting on the 17th will be your opportunity to come and put your views and thoughts forward to the club. We understand there will be some members against this but before you make up your minds please take time to read the minutes and attend the next meeting so you can have your say and listen to what your fellow club members think and want for the future of our club.

I urge everyone to attend the next meeting as we will be voting on this proposal the following month at the committee meeting being held on Thursday 21st June. I also urge that you come with an open mind to listen to others as they will all listen to what you have to say as well.

SCDRA Update

Cancellation of Race Meeting for the rest of the Season (SCDRA in Portland)

Due to this weekend's weather forecast and looking at the shocking long
range for the remainder of this month, it has been decided at our
monthly general meeting last night to pull the pin any further racing
this season. Mother nature has given us a really big uppercut this year
with major track damage at the start of the season and a record number
of rainout's, so we will be cutting our loses and wrapping up the drag
racing season. If anyone has the number for big man upstairs that looks
after the weather can they please give him a call and ask him not to be
so harsh on us next season.

Now looking ahead with some positive news for next season we have some
massive things planned including an ANDRA Rocket All Stars Round, of
course the Slamfest will be back and we can let you know that we are
currently working on negotiations for a Nostalgia meeting including
Nitro Funny Cars and Nitro FED's.
