VI. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. Race – CEO Wimberley reported there were meetings on September 21 and October 5, 2006. The Sept. 21st meeting included an appeal from Rodney Whitfield, owner of Street Stock (SS) #00, on the ruling by All American Speedway (AAS) Director of Competition (DOC) Rick Poppert that the crankshaft used on September 9, 2006 in SS #00 was not permitted. After statements were heard from the DOC and Mr. Whitfield, the Committee decided the proposed penalty was excessive given the vagueness of SS rule 6.3 was vague enough to uphold the appeal and reverse the decision of the DOC. The Committee also discussed NASCAR sanctioning and race schedule for 2007. The October 5th meeting revisited the discussion on NASCAR sanctioning and race schedule, additionally including the scope of work for track safety improvements. 1 B.
