Video’s from 2009 ala Gregory

Posted on November 20th, 2009 by DJ

I thought it would be nice for the members that aren’t on the forums to have access to the video’s that are posted by some people. These are from a friend of Scott Neiwart, his name is Gregory and he never drives the events. He takes his time to come out and just shoot video of everyone. He posts all of them in the same place on youtube. The “channel” that he has set up has every video from every event that he has shot. Here is the link to the channel.

Here is a quick example video, mostly because I am trying to learn how to embed video.

You can also find other great videos and photos in our forum Multimedia Section.

Are you ready for THIS?

Pull your seatbelts up tight and read on at your own risk. I’ve got to warn you though, there’s some really exciting stuff in here…

Remember when I told you we were in for some FUN. Things I couldn’t tell you about until the details were worked out. Things are coming together so fast my head is spinning…kinda like my spin in the Supra on the 8th.
For instance…What about this new web site…HUH? Is this ROCKIN’ or what? I love it. Okay, Okay! I know it’s wrong to love an inanimate object…. But I do…I love it!!!!! What’s not to love about it? It looks GREAT, simple to browse, works like it should, ease to read and follow…… did I mention it looks GREAT TOO?
(I love my cars and racing too…does that make me weird? Oh, whom am I trying to kid here; I’ve always been weird…LOL)
The website team is just finishing up some of the finer details. So it should probably have a “WATCH OUT FOR POT HOLES” sign somewhere. Just kidding guys…They have done an outstanding…No, AMAZING job. There were so many hurdles, a couple of set backs and just difficult things that all had to take place. Sorry but some things just couldn’t get adapted or converted. This site is a collaboration of several people that have implemented a plethora of updates and safeguards. Believe me when I say that they have put in a lot of time and effort into this for us. WOW and Double WOW!
They ALL deserve a pat on the back, an ATTA-BOY and our collective THANK-YOU!

The team also discussed purchasing new timing heads as the current heads belong to the hill climb association.

DJ Rementeria seconded. Discussion followed. Carl called for a vote. Motion was passed unanimously. Jereb Allen volunteered to chair commitee with Austin Schmitz and Mike Lundbohm.
• Neal Stanley proposed Safety Stewards should wear some sort of identifying vest during events as they are ultimately resposible for event safety. Discussion followed.
• KP proposed a re-work of the current SRRSCCA by-laws. A first draft has been formed and was made available at the meeting. Discussion followed. The draft will be reviewed and re-vamped by the board. Once a final draft is agreed upon it will be made available to the entire membership via U.S.P.S.

ByLaw proposal

Posted on November 18th, 2009 by DJ

It was decided at the membership meeting that this proposal, due to its importance and far reaching implications, needed to be presented in such a way that as many people as we could would have access to it and be able to openly discuss it.

When this proposal is further along, the club will mail out this proposal to the entire membership. With that mailer will be membership meetings that will be somewhat dedicated in the most part to further open discussion of this proposal.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank K.P. and Paul Rowan for the work that they have done to get this very important proposal to this point.

We also decided to dedicate an entire section to this proposal on the SRRSCCA Forum. Both the old Bylaws and the proposed newer versions will be posted in there entirety. Feel free to comment on sections that you have questions or concerns about. The more input we have on this proposal the better the proposal will be for years to come.

-D.J.
