A father brought up a situation that occured at the track on the previous Sunday. The driver inadvertently made a mistake. This being their first year and not knowing all of the rules was the reason for the incident. The father realized what happened and took responsibility but what upset him was when another father approached his driver and started yelling thus making the child feel intimidated. He felt that this should not have happened. Discussion was held. Everyone in attendance said that this should not have happened. An adult should never appraoch a driver if there is a problem. The person who is upset should discuss with either the father or the board. This kind of situation needs to be addressed at the next pit meeting. Doug will handle.
One of the cars has a bumper covered by sheet metal and there was some concern ovcer this. Since there is not a NYSMA rule regarding this, we cannot do anything about it unless it becomes a safety issue.
Next meeting - June 4th at the track
Motion to adjourn was made by Rick Zacharias. Seconded by Karl Schartner. Motion carried.
