Voting Results from 2004 Annual Meeting
GENERAL VOTING -- SCALE VOTING -- WING VOTING 

Section 2 : Voted on by wing racers

W1. During track calls allow work on cars in the pits if the car is already in the pits at the time of the track call. A car may not be taken from the track into the pits during a track call. Work may not be carried out during a genuine “Track” call ie braid up, computer problem etc.

PASSED

Note : You may only vote on one of the following :

W2. A.Keep Sprayglue on the Saturday program, but start at the nominated time, no exceptions.

PASSED

B. Move sprayglue to the Friday night before the Saturday races.

FAILED

C.. Eliminate Sprayglue 12 from the wing racing program for 2005. Note it could find a home on the scale program if scale program expands to two days, however there may not be time in the day for this due to the number of scale classes being raced, otherwise the class may  be eliminated altogether.

FAILED

W3. Divide Sprayglue 12 into A and B groups. Both groups would race together with separate payouts and points. Wing committee decides who is an A or a B. move ups determined by skill level, not finishing order. Allow motor claiming for the B Class. Notes : This allows less skilled and new drivers to race without having to compete with the “old hands” in the class, with no overall loss of entries. The motor claiming in the B class helps to keep the “buy the race” syndrome to a minimum.

FAILED

W4. Drop C12 and G27 from the Wing program

FAILED

W5. Introduce G27 lite for races outside of Buena Park. Notes : G27 lite will be defined by the incoming committee but it is a restricted G27 class the would include some or all of the following :
Manget restriction to either 6 pack or possibly quads
Chassis restriction, either steel chassis or a minimum weight
Race conditions : glue or possibly sprayglue
Notes : This class would be used to get some of the semi retired racers with older equipment back into racing.

Originally passed but overturned as there is not room on the program for another class.

Vote originally passed but overturned by committee
