\nPresent: Bob, Jami, Robby, Adam, Stu, Brandon
\nAbsent: Dale
\nGuests: Kristy Folstad, Kadi Ruby
\nBrandon called the meeting to order at 7:02 pm.
\nStu made a motion to approve the September 10, 2018 meeting minutes. Bob seconded. It was
\napproved.
\nMarketing. Adam is working on the card to hand out for donation items. KR is MCing. No go on
\nHornaday coming as of now. Kevin Rogers would like some information to do a video for the banquet.
\nAdam is going to talk to him. What should we do with tickets? Can we do advance? Should we do
\nadvance at $25 and $30 at the door? Let\u2019s do $30 all the way around. Posting on Facebook also.
\nYearbooks. There are some people looking at making them. We didn\u2019t have a track photographer this
\nyear. We had no volunteers to put it together either. They don\u2019t understand what a chore it is. Brandon
\nisn\u2019t opposed to it. We just aren\u2019t willing to help.
\nRaffle. We are going with cash this year. Brandon suggested $600-$300-$100. We did about $1000 for
\nthe items we purchased last year and in years past. How many tickets do we want to sell? How much?
\n$10? $25? How many do we want to do? 200 tickets at $10 each what going with.
\nThere is a benefit for Charlie Theobald. He has some rare disease. Wondering if we can do something for
\nit. Hats\/shirts\/tickets for 2019 season? Bob made a motion to donate 2 hats\/2 shirts\/and 2 tickets for
\nthe 2019 season for the Charlie Theobald benefit. Seconded by Robby. It was approved.
\nNeed to pick up the stands from Marketplace Foods. Adam will grab them.
\nDonation plan for this year. Look at the list from last year and see what sold. What should we do for
\nparts. Should we do the same. Last year we did $500 to Sebo, $500 to Trackside, and $1000 to
\nMotorsports Warehouse. Do we want to spend more this year with Motorsports Warehouse? Do we
\nwant bigger stuff for the live auction? Those things went better. What about gift certificates? Products
\nsell better then gift certificates. Adam will email the list of auction items to all of us. Everyone has to
\nhave a ticket this year when they come to the banquet. Some will just come after the food and not pay
\nto get in. They should come and support the club. If they don\u2019t pay to come in then we won\u2019t have a
\nrace track anymore. Don’t they get that? They won\u2019t have a bid number if they don\u2019t come and eat. They
\nhave to have a ticket to bid. We pay $11 per plate. Do we want to do a bidder card for $15 for those that
\ndon\u2019t eat. Let them in and enjoy themselves.
\nChampionship shirts. Do the top 10 in points. Do a gross for them. Need to get the top 10 to him.
\nSpecial shirts. If we do 50 shirts they are $25 a shirt. They would have all the champions on it. He would
\nlike us to type it all up for him. If we do 75 shirts would the price go down?
\nHall of Fame shirts. These shirts will go over very well. Stu can type up all the information for him. We
\nneed bigger sizes in these? How do we want them to look? Current inductees on the front or just Hall of
\nFame on the front and all inductees on the back. They can\u2019t be reserved. They will sell fast. Do we want<\/p>\n
\ndo it that we only have this many and then say we ordered more and have a special for them later. Like
\na Black Friday deal. Buy a 2019 grandstand pass and get a free one of a kind hall of fame shirt with it. He
\nwould like stuff to him this week to get started. Maybe we do all 3 grosses? Will he do $10.50 per shirt if
\nwe type them up for him? Robby is checking on it.
\nJackets. We do them for championship and the runner up. The hall of fame jackets are $80 from Stevik.
\nThat is where we use to go. They have all our logos. Do we want to do volunteer jackets? Getting
\ninformation for them. Dakota Trackside use to pay for them and the trophies. We got nothing from
\nthem last year. Who sponsor jackets? Adam may have someone. AC Delco may do it. Maybe split cost
\nwith them? His jacket would be on the back of the jacket. Maybe add in money for the jackets in the
\nclass sponsorship also.
\nTrophies. Ordering from Lowe\u2019s? Do we want to have Stu wrap them? We will run out of time if we do
\ntoo much. Who is going to do the extra stuff? Adam is going to look into trophies and plaques and get
\nthem ordered.
\nAuction. Milt is doing the auction. Kristy may have a helper that can work the crowd better. We give
\nthem 2 season passes and let them in to banquet for free. Clint would like to do it again. We\u2019ve went
\nwith Milt the last couple of years. Brandon is willing to make changes but is worried about the after. We
\nmay get more money out of stuff by using a different auctioneer. Banquet is good to help make money
\nfor the club. Kristy said its nice when the work together and bounce things off of each other. We don\u2019t
\nwant to upset Milt. Brandon will talk to Clint also. Milt\/Clint is a pride thing. They love doing it for
\nNodak. Maybe we can alternate between the 2. This year Milt and next Clint. Clint may have more
\nenergy.
\nJim Grote wants to run for the board. He would like symmetry between us and the flat track. He needs
\nto be a member in good standing for a year before he can be on the board. We can maybe meet with
\nhim once a month for Motor Magic. He is getting application to us. We can make him a member but he
\ncan\u2019t be on the board for 1 year. He could come to meetings.
\nDo we want to up the amount we are spending on parts? We aren\u2019t getting anything from Napa this
\nyear. Looking at upping race car parts. Seat belt sets are an option. Look at sheets and see what sold
\nwell. Bob, Robby, and Brandon are putting a list together. Robby would like to up Motorsports
\nWarehouse to $1500. We need to approve that kind of spending.
\nMotor Magic came out ahead but not by a lot.
\nHall of Fame. Kadi said that she is going with the same jackets. They will be $80 or more depending on
\nwhat they get on them. We are only offering 1 for Lori Conway. The trophies will be the same. Robby
\nmade a motion to approve Kadi\u2019s Hall of Fame proposal. Bob seconded. It was approved.
\nAnnual 2Strong award. Kadi would like to see the award started. The family likes the idea. It can be
\nanyone at the race track. Who decides? Conway family would pick it. They would have to choose it and
\nnot have it voted on. It just becomes a popularity contest otherwise. Maybe we could do it like Trinity
\ndoes the Daisy award. You anonymously fill out a form about a nurse. The Conway family could go over
\nthem and choose who to pick. There is still lots to iron out. Ron Huettl is a great example of who should
\nget it. He is a hard worker and he doesn\u2019t look for someone to pat him on the back. If we vote on it we<\/p>\n
\nwon\u2019t be biased. We would stay out of it this way. We approve them to create the award. Its something
\nRobbie would have done. The Conway\u2019s would meet and decide who wins and let us know. The 2strong
\nperson of the year would be. It has a better impact doing it this way. If get Hall of Fame shirts can the 2
\nnew inductees get one each? Yes.
\nRobby is checking on volunteer jackets.
\nDo we want to do something for Kraig for the plaques?
\nNeed to discuss Wild about Wheels name change.
\nBills. Too Dark Motorsports $100 (banner), Verizon $71.92 (cell phone). Robby made a motion to pay the
\nbills. Stu seconded. It was approved.
\nPositions. President, Secretary, 2 year term and 1 year term are all up for re-election this year.
\nRobby made a motion to adjourn. Bob seconded.
\nMeeting adjourned at 8:52 pm.
\nNext meeting will be Monday, September 24, 2018 at 7:00 pm at the Sleep Inn.<\/p>\n
