NEW BUSINESS/ Topics from the Floor.

• Larry Raygo brought up the idea of the officer vote being moved to the September meeting. This way we could try to get the club rules done earlier.
  • Since the bylaws are up for review Tom said this would be one of the items that will be reviewed.
• Judy Monday recommended that a commit is formed to help the officers review the club’s bylaws.
  • Tom agreed that it would be great to have some help. Please contact an officer if you would like to help
    • People whom said they would help; Tom Hockers, Judy Monday, Larry Raygo, Micheal Anthony, Ethan Beattie and Jack Effertz
• Andy Monday brought up the idea of a kid’s zone play area at the track. This would be like a couple other tracks in the state and could help make our show more family friendly.
  • This idea would be brought up in the talks with Dan and Ginger in contract negotiations.
• Brent Strelka brought up the idea of specials having double features as a possible way to add laps without having heat races.
  • Discussion happened to explain why and how the points structure would need to change to adapt to this format.
  • This was tabled to be reviewed by the committee of the bylaws.
• Mitch Opsahl brought up the idea of the club looking into the crown vic division as a possible alternate division to the Quarter Mile late models as a division.
  • With Slinger looking to add the division in 2026 and having them race 8 weeks it would be a possibility.
  • Tom had discussed this with the insurance company and they would be okay with the crown vic class to race the ½ mile.
  • This was tabled to have more discussion next month meeting.

• Amber Bahr brought up the FRRC Banquet is January 10^th 2026
  • Tickets are on sale now $30 per person and will be available at the November meeting
  • If any team or division would like to bring a raffle basket or give money for raffle baskets to be made, please reach out to Amber, Sarah or the officers.
• Larry Raygo brought up the team driving discussion
  • We need to have a team name along with the other parts of the rule.
    • Did we want an owner’s championship Vs a driver’s championship
  • Brent Strelka asked if we could add a sub/alternative driver with the officer’s approval. This way you do not need to sign up as a team but can keep a car racing incase of injury.
  • Topic was tabled and will be discussed in the committee that will be reviewing the bylaws.
• Micheal Anthony made a motion to end the meeting and it was second by many in the room and the meeting ended at 8:16pm
