In early 2003, the GT Advisory Committee presented wording to the Board of Directors to place the advisory committees in the GCR and to give them the responsibility to review and make decisions on all member requests within their area of expertise. [In summary, the advisory committees would become small competition boards staffed with active experts in their field. The Club Racing Board would staff and manage these advisory committees with vision coming from the Board of Direstors.]
I am now making the request available as a petition. I am looking for signature gatherers in all areas of the country.
To request a copy of the proposed changes as a petition, e-mail me at PeterZekert@Juno.com. Thanks, Peter
