Flaggers
– Tom Peterson has arranged for the flaggers for this years motos. The
Shakopee Snowmobile Club will flag April 10 and October 16, while the

the
hockey guys will have much better supervision this year.

Grading
– we owe about 2k for grading before and after the last race and for
digging holes for the wells. Since he is hard to get a hold of, even when we
are trying to give him money, Tim Kight will look into finding another local
that can do the grading.

· District 23 sound initiative – For the past several years, the sound level rule (98 db) has been a (completely ignored) AMA rule. It is something a protest could be filed for. The district is trying to educate people about sound by making people aware of this rule and by having meters available at select motocross events so that people can see where their machines are at. The ha= ve purchased two meters for this purpose that will float from track to track.<= o:p>

Sound
Meter – Motion made and passed for the club to purchase a sound meter=
at
an approximate cost of $1500. Since there may be sound related protests this
year, it would be better if we could handle them at the track, rather than
forcing the protested bike or quad to be impounded and tested later. We can
also offer voluntary sound testing as a service at our races. There are sti=

to the training. There is plenty of room for others to volunteer.

interested in seeing your suggestions. If you could send your ideas to Tim =

6) Trail prescriptions=

When the clubs have differing ideas for trail fixes, we should get
together, preferably on site, to discuss solutions. We all need to communicate
closures to one another.
