    2009 Stewards Proposal #15: "Driver Support Officer" is obsolete

    After a protest of the Steward's action, a driver is represented by an ad hoc member of Conference. Apparently, this was formerly the Driver Support Officer. However, that position has been since eradicated and is no longer specified by neither the Policies and Procedures manual, nor the...

    2009 Stewards Proposals: US Dollars Payment

    Any fine payable by a driver to Conference is payable in US Dollars. The rule book does not make this clear, so I've offered proposals #12, #13, #14, #16, and #17 to clarify payment currency. Remarkably, this specification is not present elsewhere.

    Got Rules Proposals?

    According to the Policies and Procedures manual, section 6.1.2, I need to receive rule change proposals from each club by September 10, 2009. I have received lists from only two clubs -- one of which is to say that there is no list. Please make sure you meet your September 10 deadline...

    New Qualifying idea

    I've floated this past a few drivers, and I want to see how much support there is for it at large. Right now, we have qualifying on a per-group basis. You go out with everyone else in your group, try to set a good time, then come back in. The next group goes out. This isn't so efficient: it's...
