Auto-cross Chair: Our next autox will be held on Saturday, February 4^th in Qualcomm's West Lot. We currently have four autoxes scheduled between now and July.

Driving School: Rich notified us that there were approximately 50 spaces still available for the February Driving School at Buttonwillow. There was also a motion passed to cover the cost of Fridays Instructor Training Day.

New Business:

Mark Robbins: It was ultimately decided that at this time, it would be too expensive to do an event at Miramar Speedcircuit. A discussion was held regarding the “Only Yesterday” event. Before Mark can make any further plans for the event, he needs a budget. It was voted on, and passed to give Mark a budget of $2,000.

Matthew Kogan: “Street Survival” - This event is directed towards young people (16-20), and focuses on car control. Matt explained that there will be no financial risk to the club for this event. He was interested in possibly having this event on May 6^th at Qualcomm. Gordon will be meeting with the stadium to discuss dates for the second half of the year, and will ask about that date. A motion was carried to try to reserve that date.

Dennis Damon: Dennis submitted the check for $1,000 to Toys For Tots. A motion was also approved to continue going to the auto museum for the Holiday Party.

Social Events: Tom currently doesn't have any events planned.
