The floor was then opened to nominations for the vacant class Vice Commodore position. Mark Wilfert explained that we are looking for a four year commitment to the class for a person to serve as Vice Commodore and then Commodore. No nominations were brought forward and the position will be vacant.

Updating of Class Constitution and By-Laws (Mark Wilfert): Mark Wilfert reports that electronic scans of the original Class Constitution and By-Laws have been created and will be provided for posting on the Class website.

Class promotion (Don Sanford): No Report

New Business:

Scott Brown suggested that the class actively seek people who currently own a Nite and want to come and race with the class. Possible reasons we have not reached these people were discussed as how we inform them of where Nite racing is happening at a local level. Scott asked that the class consider updating the class website to be more interactive and allow for persons to post class racing information on more of a local level.

Respectfully Submitted,

Mark Wilfert
