NEDiv meeting February 21 in Scranton, PA, the SCCA President and quite a few staff were at the meeting. Mike Cob gave his opening remarks to start the convention. Finger Lakes Region member Tim O'Brien is now the divisional Timing & Scoring administrator. There is a $250 assessment to racing regions to help cover the cost of putting on the yearly convention. Charlie was elected to NEDiv at-large position on the NEDiv council.

 

NASCAR tickets are available, Charlie can allocate four per request, and you need to contact Charlie ASAP. IMSA tickets for their race weekend are also available; only two tickets per request, requests need to get to Charlie by May 31.

 

Charlie got an email reminding regions that if you have an event outside of your region, you need to submit a request from the region of record.

 

There is a need for flaggers at Watkins Glen for all races.

 

We are looking at updating the region logo; a request for submission went out with the meeting notice last week, there have been no responses yet. Anyone interested needs to submit their artwork by the next board meeting on April 21.

 

STPR trademark. There were issues with getting scammed last time for the renewal of trademark. STPR treasurer and attorney are working on getting issue fixed.

 

Solo schedule is on the region webpage and the events are all live on MSR. We are 6½ weeks away from first event.

 

Rally program is doing well, the Ithaca rally meet the entry limit. The last event is this Saturday, March 7, starting in Dansville. This event is not using Rictha app, only open controls. Year-end awards party is on the website, it is March, 21 at Ferrari Pizza Bar, 349 W Commercial Street, East Rochester.

 

Suppplementals close to competition for Super Tour, they need double-checking and then Charlie will send in for approval.

Depending on how things go with Glen Region Time Trials at their May event, we may look at doing Time Trials during the Fun One again next year.
