NEW BUSINESS:
Item 1. Trackmaster rating system
Dave Segal of Trackmaster gave a very detailed and thorough presentation on how the Trackmaster system works. He answered several questions from the group. After he disconnected from the call, there was discussion about using the system. It was agreed that we would look at possibly using this for a few select races a few weeks into the meet.
