I'm going to be missing the board meeting on the 14th, last day of finals here at FSU . Is that going to be a problem?

No. That meeting covers all NCC programs. The Saturday meeting will just be about autocross.

How about a NCC RallyCross? Maybe BMW of ______ could provide us with a few 330xi.

I'm sure many would be willing to rallycross their BMWs.

I don't think many, besides Gary Lin, would be willing to subject their BMWs to the rigors of a rallycross. I understand some of the stock Subaru WRXs participating in the SCCA's local rallycross events were finding all sorts of broken chassis pieces.
Fifteen or so years ago Isken, the owner of a Rockville repair shop named TUV, arranged the use of a large rolling field in Potomac and provided a beater E21 320i with four snow tires. It wasn't an official club event for insurance reasons, but a couple of dozen chapter members participated in these rallycross time trials. What fun!

I'd agree it would be pretty hard to get people who'd be willing to subject their cars to this. I'd be surprised if Gary would subject his 330ti to this, i assumed you'd have him use the WRX, or perhaps one of the many loaners he has had .

[woodym3]

Gary used his E30 325is in the SCCA's Rallycross series several years ago. I don't know if he still has the car.

[dougmoney]

I know he had it around five or six months ago, you're talking about the tan (iirc) car, correct? He may not have it anymore, as he had shown up to some Get-togethers in a rental Acura many times.

Are there any suggestions you want to make?

---Eric

[Pete]

Yes, now would be the time to present new ideas so we can discuss at the meeting. Several people have already submitted ideas.

This isn't really rules related, but will we be at the same sites as last year?

We are still working on the schedule. Locations somewhat rely on availability.
