Re: This weekend






Awww, now you know better than that, Greg.

I think Jerry managed to honk us off enough on Friday during our meeting 
that 
forgetting about it took priority....

Here's a summary (not necessarily in order):

1. Jerry doesn't think the Exec committee will allow MVRG to hold three 
events at 
MAM plus let Nebraska hold an event in Hastings.

2. Assuming that outcome, Jerry wants MVRG to hold only two events at MAM 
so 
NR can hold an event at Hastings

2a. Marina, is this where he hinted at dissolving MVRG?

3. Jerry informed us that "you people" (DMVR) don't have a racetrack to 
hold events 
on should MVRG split. He also informed us that if we as DMVR petition to 
hold an 
event at MAM, NR will fight it with everything they've got. (About 30 
minutes before 
Jerry said that, Charlie Clark and I talked and Charlie doesn't think 
there would be a 
problem with the national BOD overriding NR.)

4. NR now has $15k in the bank, all Solo proceeds. They have promised not 
to use 
that money for road racing, but Jerry thinks they can use SOME of it. The 
rest they 
would, ideally, like to just borrow from MVRG. Not as a disbursement, mind 

you....just borrow. They'll put it back. Honest. (Unless they lose it 
all....)

5. NR would like to borrow the equipment from MVRG for the race in 
Hastings. I think 
we actually agreed to that....

6. Jerry wants to know, if the Midiv Exec Committee will NOT allow a third 
event at 
MAM plus one at Hastings for NR, how will DMVR's rep (referred to as "your 
wife" as 
he looked at me) vote on the conference call?

7. Frank Safranek stated that he doesn't think NR should be talking 
about/supporting 
races in Hastings. His reason was that, while the town keeps claiming 
they're so 
supportive of the track, there were ZERO Hastings residents at MAM. 
(George, the 
developer, did show up for a time on Sunday.)

8. Jerry informed Candy that she was being kept in the dark about details 
pertaining 
to Hastings (even though she's one of the 6 members of the NR BOG) because 
she 
works for "the competition."

Somewhere in there, during our Friday night meeting, Jerry was sure to 
point out that 
he's been on the BOG in NR for a very long time, and has been RE many 
times. I 
think that's when he was assuring us that the Exec Committee won't allow 
the 3+1 
events....

Several times we were all told that, even if the Exec Committee allows 3+1 
events in 
2006, 2007 will be another issue because NR will expect to hold 2 events 
in 
Hastings.

DMVR was accused of not wanting to be invovled in an event at Hastings 
because of 
the (VERY real, in my opinion) potential of the event losing money. I said 
that, along 
with the fact that the track is 300 miles from us, it's absolutely a 
consideration. There 
was no valid response that I recall when I asked where the customers for 
an event in 
Hastings would come from.

Jerry wrote the check for track rental before the race chair could 
double-check the 
bill and confirm the amounts. That check was voided and another was 
written after 
the race chair double-checked the bill and found some issues.

In general (and, of course, in my opinion), Jerry was about as obtuse a 
person as he 
could possibly be and still remain (barely) mature ALLLLLLLL weekend. 

Dick Salem saw me on Sunday and could barely contain his excitement when 
he 
came to talk to me - he had heard that MVRG was going to dissolve. When I 
told him 
that wasn't the case just yet, he was rather disappointed.

How's that for a start?

Jarrod
