MINUTES/NOTES – MIDWEST 305 SPRINT CARS

April 11, 2010

Story City, Iowa

The Midwest 305 Sprint cars board meeting was held April 11, 2010 at Story City Happy Chef. The meeting was called to order by President Bob Hildreth at 2:00 p.m.

Members Present:

Mark Ferguson, David Sporaa, Earl Tice, Keith Carlberg, Mark Aaron, Derek Cink, Daryl Arend, Mick Fishel, Bob Hildreth, Shad Sporaa.

Dave Sporaa read the minutes from the last meeting. Keith Carlberg moved for approval, which was seconded by Dave Sporaa.

Shad Sporaa gave the Treasurer’s report. There was $1,327.07 in the account. No new claims were submitted. Matt Stephenson will take care of filing the Biennial Report by April 15 and submit the expense next month.

Old Business:

 Mark Ferguson talked about the 100 years of racing celebration in Webster City on July 3. The event will be called “100 Years of Horse Power” and will be a day- long celebration at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds, ending with races and fireworks that night. During the daytime there will be race cars on display, along with drivers signing autographs. Since the group will be racing there that evening, Mark asked if anyone would be able to bring their cars early for display. Earl Tice will look into bring a vintage sprint car that day as well. If anyone has any other ideas for this event, please see Mark Ferguson. He will keep the group informed as the date nears.

New Business:

We have two new races scheduled, May 7 at Spencer, and August 19 at Britt. These two shows will be point’s races and both pay $700 to win. The Marshalltown date is still not confirmed, but pending. Dennison has expressed interest in a race on July 22. Bob Hildreth will send out payout information to them.

Bob stated that he has received questions about our rules regarding the use of a dry sump system. Our rules state that a wet sump system must be used and the group agreed that we will not deviate from them. A car with a dry sump, will not be allowed to race with us.

Dave Sporaa had a question about a person having one car and two drivers. Would the car owner have to pay for two memberships? The group concurred, that the points go with the driver, not the car. Both drivers would need to pay membership in order to race.

Due to racing season beginning, the next meetings will be held in the pit area during an event. It was decided that the next meeting will be May 7 at Spencer.

A motion to adjourn was made by Shad Sporaa and seconded by Mark Aaron.

Meeting adjourned at 2:45 p.m.
