Hawkeye Downs Fund Raiser Two people picked up membership applications. Virg and Richard both had cars in Saturday s show. The fund raiser was to help improve their facility.

New t-shirts, recognize people who have attended every year if you have an idea, please let Brad or Mary Johnson know. o o Brad and Mary Johnson will be retiring from chairing Camp Courageous after next year. Please consider taking over the position for them. They are more than willing to show you the ropes with the planning of next year s so it is a great opportunity to step in and shadow them so they can show you how they did it. Thank you to Brad and Mary for your 17 years of volunteering!!!! Discussion was to have Corvette Club and/or other car clubs help take over for 2018. We will still help, such as parking, but no longer lead the event. More information needs to be discussed about this so it was tabled until the December meeting. Drag City- We had 145 paid racers (almost 100 were new racers)! We netted $1,445! Thank you again to Larry Hampton and everyone else who helped in making this event a success!!! So successful that Larry received many phones calls from people wanting to know when the next one will be!
