Old Business:
1. Approve meeting minutes from 4/3/21 Motion Kelsey Saltar, 2nd Pete Rose unanimously approved
2. 2nd vote on Purpose:
To clarify definition of how many races count towards final championship point totals.
Language currently refers to “sanctioned events”.
Suggested change to refer to total events held during the season. Also – add language to Section 10 (same language currently in section 2).
70% of the sanctioned completed races are considered (e.g. 12 sanctioned completed races X 70% = 8.4, round to 8 races). The rider’s best scores of the considered number (in this example 8) are computed.
Motion by William Toreki, 2nd by Kelsey Saltar unanimously approved.
New Business:
1. George Tolsen has a proposal for BOD to approve paying enduro score keeper $1 per FTR rider on estimate $800 per year. Current head tax was at $5 for out of state enduros and $7 for instate enduros, which will now be increased to $6 out of state and $8 in state. Motion to approve George Tolsen, 2nd Randy Faul. Unanimously approved.
2. Randy Faul has proposed an increase in head tax by one dollar per rider to create a scholarship fund. Also to increase from $4 to $5 per rider to update, maintain, repair, and to staff the electronic scoring and sign-up equipment and the radio communication system. Motion Randy Faul, 2nd Pete Rose.

8. (Deleted): Spark arrestors are mandatory on all ICE competition vehicles in the Hare Scrambles and Enduro series. Vehicles competing in the Peewee classes shall be exempt from this requirement. The spark arrestor must be approved by the USFS. A rod test may be performed to verify the presence of the spark arrestor. (Add): USFS-approved Spark Arrestors may be required on competition vehicles for specific events by individual Clubs, Promoters, Land-Owners, or Government Agencies, and public notice of any such requirement shall be posted on the official FTR website at least 30 days prior to the event. For example, Enduros on public land require a Spark Arrestor. Race vehicles will be inspected for compliance prior to the start of such events.
9. (Deleted): All race vehicles must pass Official FTR inspection for rule compliance [Tech Inspection] prior to participating in any FTRevent including practice. Any rider racing a vehicle that has not passed Tech inspection for the event will be subject to disqualification [DQ].
10. Utility Quad – Any quad manufactured with racks and four-wheel drive is required to compete in the Utility Quad class.
