MX Chairman Jim Mamula will be seeking a Quad Rep. and a Women Rep. to become part of the

Hare Scramble Chairman, Randy Faul complimented those involved in the set up,
registration, and scoring of the Saturday races.
Randy also noted some recent changes on the current HS Committee, with Jonny Simpkins
representing Specialty Class, Vickie Wilcox as Women Class Rep., and Scott Sears will Rep.
the "A" Class. Randys still looking for a B Rep.
Jim Wilder, presented an informative update on progress with the new Electronic Scoring
project. Saturdays test run provided positive feedback and assured us they are on the
right track to giving the FTR its own unique system. One comment of note was the
absolute continuation of our numbers and colored backgrounds. Even though the system does
not need them for recognition purposes, it was agreed that the riders and spectators do.
Karen Jernbergs recent promotion will only take her away from the physical race scoring at
the tracks. Karen will continue to function as the official Scorekeeper for FTR- H.S.
It was noted that any Club not being able to utilize the Electronic Scoring should request
a refund of the $ 500 portion of their Sanction Fee. Some Clubs will be affected by this
until the new system is up and running.
The Annual Banquet was discussed at length with all those present voicing a variety of
ideas. Dan and Bonnie George have decided not to continue their involvement in the
preparations, and after much discussion Cheryl Horn volunteered to head up a Committee to
develop a plan for this years event. Cheryl will post an announcement seeking
knowledgeable members to become involved with her.
Lee Daley noted that he would like to see a return to prior FTR times when the Clubs set
up the Banquet and it was family oriented with sit down meals. Lee volunteered the Apollo
Club for this year, and will work with Cheryl.
It was noted the Business Manager will lose a portion of his duties due to this
restructuring of responsibilities. It was decided the Executive Committee needs to
re-evaluate his position and decide on the required duties and compensation package.
Jim Mamula proposed Dan "write a proposal of the duties required to perform as
Business Manager in a format that could be considered as a contract." It was noted
that the current contract had expired. Dan will do this within 60 days and submit it to
the Executive Committee. Jenni Lamb seconded this proposal. Vote of 7 Yes and 0 No.
Lee Daley proposed a program to add an Overall Enduro/Hare Scramble Champion to our FTR
program of events. This idea was accepted as a good way to increase rider numbers in both
types of events. Lee outlined it as follows:
Three enduros and three hare scrambles will count towards this championship.
In each of these six races, the top 30 overall riders will be scored and awarded points on
a descending scale starting with 30 points for first overall down to one point for the
30th overall position. The lowest score for each rider will be dropped when tallying the
final points.
Due to several considerations, the races included in this championship will be:
Enduros:
#4 Seville
#6 Richloam
#7 Daytona
Hare Scrambles:
#8 Suncoast - Palatka
#9 TCTR - Vero
#10 Apollo - Scottsmoor
With the cooperation of the two series' scorekeepers, I will keep track of the points.
There will be one overall trophy awarded at the 2002-03 awards banquet.
Lee will fine tune this idea as it progresses. Hopefully this will instill some interest
in members trying a style of competition they may not have tried in the past.
Secretary, John Schnelbach, tired of "political correctness", advised all that
the Sierra Club and two other anti-OHV radical environmental groups were supporting Bill
McBride as their candidate for Governor in the Nov. 5, Election.
President Enyart concluded the Meeting at 9pm.
