Calling Judge Smails

Brian: I'll make the appointments after the SORC has been assembled. EWH.

I believe the commission has been finalized and all are busy preparing for the big dance. Are any of the "volunteers" that you asked for going to get asked to dance or should we just stand next to the punch bowl and wait?

Tohatsu committee???

This year, I'm going to do things a little differently. Rather than simply choose from the SORC exclusively, I'd like to solicit any interest in serving on SO Committees from both inside and outside the SORC. Obviously if you can attend the national meeting in LA the last weekend in January, that would be good but that is not a condition for appointment. Here are the following committees that need to be filled. If you're interested, please send me an email or post here.

OMC technical committee
Mercury technical committee
Hot Rod technical committee
Yamato technical committee
Hydroplane technical committee
Runabout technical committee
Inspection Manual Committee
Promotional Committee
SO Website Committee
SO Awards Committee
SO Rules Committee

Briefly, each of the technical committees are responsible for receiving and making recommendations for any rule changes to the SORC for the jurisdiction of the committee. The Inspection Manual Committee is responsible for incorporating all technical changes into the SO inspection manual that is linked to the APBA website. The Promotional committee is responsible for making recommendations to the SORC regarding these types of proposals and then carring them out once approved. The Website committee will be responsible for resurrecting the SO website and ensuring its link from the APBA website. SO used to have a website but it is now defunct. I would like to re-create this website in order to post relevant information affecting SO along with our tech manual and list of suppliers, builders and mechanics which is nearly complete. We need some people that are interested in creating and maintaining this site. The SO Awards committee is responsible for making recommendations for awards, high points and championships and then figuring out who gets them at the end of the year. The Rules committee is responsible for making suggested safety and racing rule changes that need to be considered and for reconciling SO's rules with those in the PRO and Mod categories.

Please let me know of your interest asap. For those of you who have served on these committees in the past, please also let me know if you are still interested in serving. Thanks, Ed Hearn, SO Chairman.

is there going to be such a thing?

Patience is a virtue

I'll be making my SORC and committee appointments this weekend. Ed.

Ed, I'd like to propose one more committee. I'd like to see a S.O. Steering Committee to develop a plan for the future. I would be willing to chair this committee if you deem me qualified and also would like to recommend some people to serve on this committee. I have spoken to these nominees and they have agreed in principle to serve. I will E-mail you my nominees before the New Year. Thanks for your consideration. John Runne 2-Z

[csh2z]

Ed, Let's move on from the Yamato debate and start thinking about the big picture. We may be able to prevent this kind of stuff in the future. Please let us know about the steering committee, watdaya think? John 2-Z
