WTTTF and WTOPS Meeting

All members: We will have a meeting on July 7 (Tuesday) at Advance Quik Lube on Andrews Hwy. Our agenda will include discussions concerning the WTOPS group, how we can grow the group, how we can promote more money for the group, and possibly electing someone that will be the spokesperson and leader of the group. This group is capable of providing some of the most exiting racing in the sport and we thank each participant and sponsor that we have had the past couple of years. There are some who would like a few rules changes in order to help pull in more cars, there are those who want no changes, and those who do not care either way. Once some leadership is appointed, only that group would be responsible for voting in how they want their rules. We must keep in mind that any changes will affect the whole WTOPS group and it would not be good to attract 2 or 3 and lose 4 or 5.
We will also address issues in the 10.5 group concerning possible weight breaks for nitrous cars. We must remember that we set our rules for 3 years. If it is a majority decision to give some small wt. breaks to keep everything even, then we will vote to see if the group even wants to consider a change. Then we will vote on what the change will be. I will try to contact all of the out of town racers that I can and get their take on what our discussions will be about and if enough of our paid members are present we will put a few of these things to a vote. We have a few safety issues that will be discussed, the over-all health of the organization, and our financial status. I want to personally thank every active and inactive member for there hard work. We have approximately 35 WTTTF cars that have participated this year and approximately 13 WTOPS cars that have participated. We have an inactive list of about 33 who have participated in the past but have not this year. The long hauls by those far away and the over-all economy has hurt somewhat, but we have some ideas and a few potential sponsors for the latter part of the year that may help out.
The last 3 races should bring a pretty good turn-out and I am looking forward to your input for the future and again want to thank the tracks and the sponsors for their dedication. We are learning every year and as time goes on I think we will have less and less confusion. Again I would like to say that we have a few gals and a couple of guys who work very hard to make these races come off and get very little recognition. Please slap them on the back every chance you get.     Thanks for everyones cooperation,  Ricky Dyer and the officers
