Speed and Ice Andy Nienhuis reported buying helmets and cones. We need to get our fire extinguishers recertified. We also bought more totes for storage. The FB events for My Auto and MCC autocrosses have been created. Sam Rogers has the upgrades for our timing equipment after some shipping issues. The bill came under our budget of $1500, and we will be good for maybe the next 15 years. Andy N is still looking for good autocross parking lots for the end of July or August. If you can provide an event location, you will receive FREE autocross every time at that event!
Social chair Mary Savage reminded us of the yearly picnic in July at Johnson Park in Grandville, and ice cream and treats will be provided. Checking into sites for the 65th anniversary party, the GR Museum might prove to gave parking issues. The Downtown Market or Wabasis Lake Park might work and have a pavilion and parking. Keith Gill has Super 8 tapes available of FG ice racing events. We will look into preserving them.
