$17,000 income from Solo, rally and HPDS made up for decline. Overall expenses up slightly. Nothing outstanding other than van. Trailer sold to BAC. Acct balance $19,590.75. Still need to pay for van insurance and trophies, bills not submitted.
Race Report:
Good 2019 race season, 7 ppl took school, 6 raced for year, received full license. Only a few “wall attacks.” Bottle bags great for some impacts, problematic for high-speed car direct impacts. 24 cars at JCM, 1 hr red flag. More sponsors and more entrants lead to $7,000 raised for AMP. Loss of Tim McNeil was a tragedy for all motorsports and tracks in the region. Tim and his push toward safety will be greatly missed. This is Joel’s last report as ASCC Race Director, he will become ARMS Race Director for 2020.

Busy year for atlantic rally. Cal Vandalen and Meg Grandmaison won regional championship. Jan 18th, ASCC first Navex of year for 2020.
New potential location for BAC RallyX near Stewiacke, but needs to be frozen for use.
