Things That were talked about at the meeting on November 14th 2017.
• Club dues- A price has not yet been set. Talked about what the dues would be used for as well discounts that would go about with the club dues.
• Multiple people help run the track- Instead of just one person running the track switch it to multiple people that want to step up and help with the track. So, the race director does not get burnt out.
• Drainage- So for the main problem with drainage, drain piping will not be put in for the simple fact that the dirt will clog it and wont drain. Proposed on raising the track up and slopping everything in a dome shape.
• Classes- Main class that will be new will be the Stock slash spec. Only open to Traxxas 2wd slash. Brushed motors only no changes allowed to the truck except for receiver, 2 cell Lipo and 7 cell Nimh battery are allowed. Other classes that will be ran at the track Novice, 2 wheel drive buggy, 4 wheel drive buggy ( 2wd & 4wd will run together if car count is not high enough for separate classes), 4 wheel drive short course 1/8th scale E-Buggy, 1/8th scale Nitro Buggy (as goes for these two classes will be ran together if car count is low.)
• Rock crawler course to be added to MRO-Yes you heard that right a rock crawler course to be added to the park. Will be over seen by a different race director. More to come about this in following meetings.
• Race days- We will keep them running on Thursday nights since the hobby plex in Omaha races every other day of the week. We will also have a bunch of other new events to the 2018 year.
• Monthly point series races- We will be running point series race for the 2018 year will race once a month from April or May to October or November. Must attend at least 6 of the races to stay in the points races, as well for the championship race at the end of the season.
• Meetings-we will be having monthly meetings from now on for the club. This is to stay on top of everything, see changes that need to be done, things that could be changed for the better.
• Parts table- talked about having a parts table for races but would run into problems with the city selling stuff. So, make sure you have enough parts to at least build another car if needed. Better to have enough than not enough, but if needed there is a Hobby town not that far from the track.
• Concessions-someone brought up having concessions at races, That will be okay if we have all day events and other events at the track but for Thursday night races there is a gas station close by.
• Track up keep- rotate on mowing so people don’t get burnt out doing that, plan a couple days a month to improve the track. THERE WILL BE A NEW LAY OUT OF THE TRACK FOR THE 2018 YEAR AND WE WILL CHANGE IT EVERY YEAR.
