Old Business:

Review of NWDE Clothing Optional 2002: Event can’t be “officially” reviewed until NWDE meets, but overall went well, on time, etc. Novice caps were not a good idea, it ended up forcing novices into the Street Tire class and they didn’t know their SCCA indices, etc. 172 entrants and fun runs at the end. A good day!

Review of BEAC Autopilot 2002: 193 entrants and about 40 or so (?) fun runs at the end. Weather was great until it sprinkled during fun runs. Event was accepted as a championship event.

Point of Discussion: Interpretation of Insurance rules about no passengers. This is not just during competition runs, but also includes fun runs. No passengers are allowed unless strictly in an instructor capacity to a novice who has already been lost on their first runs.
