Creative Director Update (via Howard)

Insurance in place for Motoring 2-Day Drive to Gold Country
Secretary:
Vote to approve October 1, 2025 minutes: APPROVED
Treasurer:
October 2025 financials discussion - club’s finances are no longer in the favorable range, vote to accept: APPROVED
Track program incurred significant loses with last Thunderhill event and Laguna Seca event
Club Racing registrations were collectively much lower across the two events than projected
Not accepting students at Laguna (and using that run group for Club Racing) caused us to miss out on significant potential revenue
Next year’s Track program may be challenged from a cash flow perspective due to the lower bank balance we’ll be starting the year with
Autocross Director:
New trailer should be ready for pickup in above 2 weeks, will continue working with Creative on trailer graphics
Autocross #8 had healthy participation
Autocross #9 is oversubscribed, with lots of first-time drivers
Still working on proposal for City of Alameda for timed events there
SA2010 helmet expiration for PCA Autocross has been extended to October 1, 2026 - so we can defer purchase of new helmets for another year
Building tentative schedule for next year, will coordinate with Motoring to avoid date conflicts
Track Director:
Co-Track Directors were not present
Christian Stangier presented a responsibility matrix for Track events
Discussion of revamping the Sponsorship Program for more differentiation between tiers (and potentially fewer tiers)

Two day Gold County Run coming up this weekend
Treffen at Sea on 9/22/2026 in Wine Country: will coordinate with other Zone 7 regions to host participants
