| 3-month | 1.00% |
| 6-month | 1.40% |
| 9-month | 1.75% |
| 1-year | 2.10% |
| 18-month | 2.50% |
| 2-year | 2.75% |
What we currently have in CDs:
| AMOUNT | RATE | MATURITY DATE |
| $12,000 | 0.15% | 2/27/2023 |
| $12,000 | 0.85% | 3/8/2023 |

| $31,000 | 0.10% | 6/2/2022 |
If we move the $31,000 to a 1-year CD, it would mature around 6/2/2023, which still balances out our attempt to have “regular” access to the CD money without penalties.

RALLYCROSS REPORT: (Nils)
As we once again had to cancel our last event due to rain, we managed to get a reschedule date for event 2 (which we are calling event 2.1) scheduled for June 12th at I-35 raceway in Winston. Two weeks later, on the 26th that we will have our event #3 at Thunder Valley Sand Drags. Doing this successfully accomplished making a Rallycross and Autocross sandwich. 3 weeks of racing in a row!
KVRG REPORT: (Chris Kern and Mike McGinley)
Had race at Heartland Park and fun, we had a lot of turn out. Do not have all the bills but the income is in about $39,000 in income but more expenses coming in yet. Paid F&C and had to hire some Heartland Park employees to help out.
Ozark coming in three days, Friday through Sunday. As of today 53 to 54 race entries. 32 for test day. Still questionable on making money at this event. Talk about challenge with expenses. We are noting getting the entries we expected but has not materialized.
Chris: Friday will be off a little late, getting a fairly decent worker turnout.
Rocky has put in a article asking for help at Ozark. Will be getting workers from CRF and other regions.
Track night in America June 16th Thursday and offering $50 bucks to help top off gas tank. We need workers for this event.
