Other items discussed included:
1. The Dash - Omar Abotteen and Floyd Adcock have volunteered to assist in organizing the 2012 Dash. Billy requested an organizing meeting to discuss the needs and plans of the upcoming Dash event. The meeting will take place after the 1st of the year.
2. Trophies - Both Dennis Banks and Clay Cassard have again offered to handle trophies for next year. These guys did an incredible job last year with trophies and we are excited to have them on board again this year.

Thank you everyone for your input in tonight's meeting. I can't believe it is the 10th year for the GT300. It is already shaping up to be an event not to be missed.
