Once the 20111 Executive has been elected they will appoint the following 2011 positions: Race Director:/Assistant Race Director/Rescue Director/Starter
Plans for 2011
Friday/Saturday Night Oval Racing, as previously discussed
Talks ongoing and 2011 Executive will pursue
24 Hour Lemon Race -- Kim
Kim has received info from Doug and done some research
Other places do these for 24 hours, but we have restrictions on end times at Race City (stop at dark if done early in the season, doesnt get dark until ~10:30)
Proposed to make it a 2 day event; starting Sat afternoon and racing until end time; cars to be left right on the track where they stopped at the end of the day, no work to be done on them that night; cannot be touched until the next day when the race restarts
Would be an endurance race; not laps; based on time; whoever is on track (as counted by the tower) the longest over the course of the race would be the winner
Other races charge $500 per car, and then an additional $100 per driver; drivers can swap out at any time
To be discussed further at future meetings.
Details to be finalized in time to have details at World of Wheels
CORA Class Restructuring for discussion (would require members only vote to make changes)
Hobby Stocks, Mini-Stocks & Claimers -- old rules
New Classes --Bombers Hobby Stocks (V8, older Enduro Hobby StocksTBD), CORA Hornets (caged or post claimer style car; can be modified, standard with scatter shield or automatic TBD)
Would need general rules for the classes for the AGM ie: proposed types of cars for each class, types of modifications allowed, etc Kim will send info to Dave to add to info he already has and he will prepare some info for discussion at the November meeting
We want Medicine Hat and High River to be able to race with us in our classes; we need to make sure we are flexible enough so that we can all run together
We will need to ensure that if there are not enough drivers to run the proposed new classes, that some type of Pro & Semi Pro division is made in the classes based on speed or time to still make it competitive for everyone for further discussion

As per the CORA executive: Talking with Race City Friday night oval racing is not likely this year. We are still in talks with Rod (Race City Manager) & Art regarding this manner.
We need a primary sponsor for our Oval Racing.We are looking for someone to sponsor a 600 volt/3 phase generator to run the lights at night so we can go back to Saturday Night Stocks at Race City. Anybody that knows anybody that might be interested in being the primary sponsor and bring Saturday Night Racing back to the Race City Motorsports Park Oval please email or call.

CORA GARAGE SALE #2 FUNDRAISER
August 7 9:00am - 4:00pm
16 Whitemont Place N.E.
We need everyone to dig deep in their house and pull out all that stuff you dont need around, that youve been thinking of taking to the thrift store. Also, ask all your friends if they have stuff at their house theyd like to get rid of; almost everyone I know has given me stuff for the last sale or for the next one!
You can drop your stuff off at Daves house or we can come and pick up the stuff to make it easier for people; just give me or Dave a call (Dave: 669-4210/Leighsa: 869-2035) so we know if you are dropping stuff off or if you need it picked up.
All proceeds are in support of CORA.
Hey All
Dave Jackson, Willy Rolleman and Dave Cameron came up with a GREAT fundraising idea for CORAthe BIGGEST, HUGEST, AMAZING GARAGE SALE ever!!!!
They thought that almost everyone has stuff at their house they want to get rid of, but they dont want to have to organize a garage sale.SO, they are proposing a HUGE GARAGE SALE on SATURDAY, JULY 10 at Dave Jacksons house (16 Whitemont Close NE), in the back alley. A friend of his just had a garage sale 3 weekends in a row and raised $6,000!!!!
We are asking everyone to donate some items for the garage sale. We would need all items at Dave Jacksons house by Wednesday, July 7th, so we can get it all priced ahead of time. Contact Dave (drdew77@shaw.ca or 669-4210) or me (leighsa@telus.net or 869-2035) to make arrangements to drop stuff off at Daves house. If you have big items (furniture, etc), and have no way to get it to Daves house, or if you have stuff to donate but just no time to drop it off , just contact one of us and we can arrange to have it picked up.
Wed like to get some volunteers to help out with pricing stuff on the Thursday, and to help with sales on the Saturday. Dave is going to post info on both websites (CORA and claimercar.com) and Im sending this email to everyone whos email I have. Pass it on to anyone you know who would be willing to donate items and/or help out.
They thought we could also sell some pop, chips and have balloons to give out to the kids. Looking for donations to buy this stuff$5 or $10 bucks would help out greatly. Contact Dave or I to donate to the cause.
I will print up some posters when I get to work next week; anyone who wants some printed posters to put up to draw people to the garage sale can call me to get some, and I will also email the poster, so you can print it up yourself if that is easier for you than coming to pick some up. Dave will also put an ad on Kijiji for the Garage Sale.
Lets all pull together and get rid of all our old stuff we dont need and raise some money for CORA!!!
All proceeds from the Garage Sale will go directly into the CORA bank account, to be used for race day expenses, so we can lower our racing fees for each race!!

CORA TRACK CONDITIONS MEETING
APRIL 20/09
AT RACE CITY
In Attendance:
Chris Paavola
Dave Jackson
Gary Finley
Vern Jensen
Paul Ritchot
Ryan Middleton
Shauna Taylor
The severe winter did not do damage to the track and the condition is the same as last year 2008.
Sponsorship sales for track repairs have been bad mostly due the citys decision to vote down the Race City lease and at this moment the track closes after the 2009 season.
The city has broken up the road from 114 AVE S.E. to V.I.P. gate with track access down to one entrance.
The CORA executive voted at this point to do some preventative maintenance to keep track from getting worse and patch work through-out the 2009 season.
If CORA finds a sponsor who directly wants to repair the track the money will be directed to do so. If the political or legal situation changes to extend the life of the track past the 2009, CORA will work towards helping to bring the track to top standard.
WARNING!
If you raced last year the track condition is the same as last year and you assume your own risk in all aspects of racing.
Respectfully Submitted,
Chris Paavola
CORA President
