SOLO REPORT: Al Hermans
Event #8 was held on September 22. There were 121 drivers in attendance. The day started out wet but began to dry out starting in the second heat. By the third heat, the surface was mostly dry and times started to tumble.
Registration is open for Event #9 on October 13. We have 23 entries so far.
Registration is open for Event #10 (Halloweenie) on October 27. We have 12 entries so far.
There is a proposal from Wichita Region to implement a schedule for obtaining bids and scheduling events for the MiDiv Solo Series so as to have a schedule ready to publish within a week of the national tour and pro solo schedules being released. Discussion is being held via email and some aspects of the scheduling may need to be revised. If anyone has any comments they want to pass on, let me or Paula know.
The truck (and trailer?) still need to be inspected and registered. Does anyone know somebody who can do the inspection? I can take everything (inspection report, proof of insurance, renewal card, personal property tax receipts for the last year or two depending on if we want to renew for one or two years) to the license office down the street from me and get it registered.
DMVR is looking for volunteers who can work the Street Survival event on October 13 in Ankeny, IA. They are looking for instructors as well as staff. If anyone is interested, sign up is available on MSR.
MEMBERSHIP REPORT: Paula Diehl – 641 members for the Region.

OLD BUSINESS
ByLaws will go before going to general membership soon. It will be to the general membership and give them 30 days to review before a club vote. Tim Friest will set up voting online. He has sent the link to webmaster.

Date of Gimmick Rally September 28. Jessica added it to MSR.
Reference the Gimmick Rally, there are currently 4 cars registered and all have pre-paid through MSR. Paula, if there is someone who has not pre-registered and forgets their cash, the Club can accept money through PayPal. Feel free to text or call during check-in and I am happy to help with that if that issue arises. I can also send over an updated entry list after the event closes on MSR 9/27 at 1:00pm.
