-Again, Happy New Year everyone 2020! new Decade! This was an interesting meeting, Lotsa noise, great people including two new faces!

ITT -First up is 2020 ITT (Ice Time Trial) season. Planned event on Elmore for Feb 1st 2020. We will try to communicate as much as possible. Please Pre register and understand when Mother Nature does her thing and we have to cancel we'll refund / credit appropriately. Mallets bay still needs more Ice (although the Ice out there is excellent quality), Elmore should be ready. Looking into the Triumphant return to Iroquois possibly?

2020 Autocross - Looking for new Venue options. got any ideas? Thunder Road has been real fun, but a money loss situation, Connor will (has) sent info to Paul about Loss and break even stats. Hoping to re-negotiate out cost to rent venue. Thank you Paul for helping communicate. Also were looking at checking in with Diamond Run Mall in Rutland to see if that is a possibility with all the changes lately.

Great to see you all! and thanks for new drivers. (and seasoned drivers) I'll be getting membership stuff updated soon, see you On Elmore Next Weekend ! with my Mom and her brownies!

Hello all,
As you would expect by now, most gatherings have been cancelled due to the epidemic with the Coronavirus. We have opted to cancel the upcoming meeting on Tuesday for this reason. We will however be offering for the public/membership to ask questions/offer discussion on Tuesday through the Facebook group here. For the sake of consistency, we will try to be available at 7PM on Tuesday as scheduled to open discussion with a post. Feel free to ask any questions or provide feedback at that time. Thank you for the understanding and stay safe out there.
- SCCV Team

Stephen Jones Topic: Mt Philo hillclimb. Chris and I are discussing tomorrow after we get some feedback from SCCNH. Covid19 is naturally a concern. More to come in the next few days.

Tim Fournier So quick recap of some initial thoughts - some early projections on Coronavirus has us worried it may trend into summer. We are considering a more conservative schedule (lower event count) and revamping the process to remove bodies out and about during reg/tech/working - this could mean drivers meeting over radio, tech with people in cars. We're trying to be open minded to keep events coming. We have two Canaan weekends locked down on the schedule and would prefer to keep it that way. This could possibly be in conjunction with a lower driver cap to keep things thinner, more track time/use for drivers, but would probably come with an increase in reg costs. Just throwing spaghetti at the wall for now

Tim Fournier Canaan could be up soon but we're waiting for some things to shake out first. We'll announce when it's live though. As for DRM, we reached out for this past season and our previous contact did not respond if my memory serves me correctly. DRM has gone through some changes with the closure of the mall - we have expressed interest in reaching out again as a last shot but the optimism is mild imo.

Thanks for those who participated!
