- On October 19th, Scott Barrett requested a BoD meeting to introduce a motion to make the -2 Cars a permanent addition to Group 2 in order to persuade other -2 car owners to invest in putting their cars on track with CVAR.
- On October 19th, Herb sent notice to the BoD of an email based meeting to occur on October 24.
