  • Minutes
    1. Minutes from last meeting were posted.

    1. Addressed during the AGM. Alberta, Vancouver Island, Washington State have the classes re ordered. This would possibly allow a better race for riders. One year test.
    2. A / B class for Super sr. this could be to review in the future. Watch for trends 2020.

    1. We welcome all riders and racers
  • Race updates
    1. Attendance was very for the year, up over all.
    2. The last couple of races where fairly wet. Fairly hard course for A riders.
    3. Weather key factor.
  • The amount of time for each race versus number of laps.
    1. We have to be able to adapt at every different race and go with what works best in each situation.
    2. Review of rules for cut off times. 3 hours, 2 hours. Very dependent on course conditions & distance, land stainability.
    3. Host club must know their course layout and what it will take to complete.
  • New Business
    1. AGM review …. Rules 3.1.1, 3.2.7, 3.2.6 rules for review in regards to bumping of racers to different.
    2. Tech check. Is this happening at all events? Needs to be consistent at all events.

    4. Points for club support. Where are we at with concept? Non racers seem to be main source of volunteer support.
