Even with $7,213.30 in expenses for vehicle maintenance and new equipment, we have increased our ending balance by $7,869.88 since last year.

Annual solo report to Membership
For the season, we had a total of 1431 entries for 10 events (the MiDiv counted as two) for an
average attendance of 143. That is up 258 and 26 respectively from last season, an 18% increase overall from last year.
Novice participation was up considerably from last year. I think that may be mostly due to increased social media activity bringing people in and the event culture keeping many of them coming back.
With increased attendance come space and time pressures. We will likely be capping the event sizes starting next year to keep things manageable. Another option is to add an hour at the end of the event to allow more people to participate but that will make an already long day for the chairs and chiefs who are there all day even longer.
We replaced some timing equipment that failed and had repairs and maintenance done on the
truck and trailer as needed.
