  Upcoming Monthly EIR SCCA Meeting - Tuesday, March 4

The next monthly EIR meeting is planned for Tuesday, March 4, at Tommy Vaughn's restaurant in Blackfoot. The agenda for this month's meeting has been provided by Carl Tyger, Regional Exec:

The March meeting will be our "Annual Meeting" meaning that we will present year end reports, discuss and vote on event fee changes, and any other operational changes. We are considering a change to the software we use for timing and plan to present and discuss that at the annual meeting.

We will continue the meeting format of a social hour for food and drinks from 6:30 to 7:30 with EIR business getting under way at 7:30 to 8:30 (or earlier depending on how much business). We really hope to see you all there!

  Monthly EIR SCCA Meeting Minutes - Tuesday, February 4

The February monthly EIR meeting was held Tuesday, February 4, at Tommy Vaughn's restaurant in Blackfoot. Due to the weather, there was a small turnout of members, so no official business was conducted or voted on. The following meeting notes were provided by Carl Tyger, Regional Exec:

We announced that next month's meeting will be our designated "Annual Meeting" meaning that we will present year end reports, discuss and vote on event fee changes, and any other operational changes. We are considering a change to the software we use for timing and plan to present and discuss that at the annual meeting. 

We made a brief presentation about the next season's schedule. We have solid dates June through August for events at Rigby and Bonneville.  We are trying to find other event sites particularly down South to hold some events that would be before or after what is confirmed, but don't have anything solid yet. 

We also talked a bit about doing a Street Survival school. While it was not an official vote there was a unanimous agreement by the 8 members present that it would be worth pursuing if we can use it as a tool to access a new event site. That is the angle we have been going for and will continue to pursue. The members present felt there wasn't enough return on our time if a Street Survival school were organized at an event site that we already have. So the board will continue to pursue new event sites with this as an option to help us secure.

  SCCA National Convention - January 16 - 24, 2025

The 2025 SCCA National Convention was held virtually January 16-24, 2025 and was FREE to all SCCA Members. More than 1000 SCCA members from around the country participated in the annual convention.

It was announced at the convention that Eastern Idaho Region led all of the SCCA’s 115 Regions with the largest percentage of “achieved potential growth,” which is calculated by adding the Region’s 2024 Weekend and Annual Members and dividing that number by their 2023 Membership, regardless of region size. Congratulations to all the EIR members who are actively working to drive our region forward!

There were lots of excellent presentations from the SCCA national office staff on subjects pertaining to auto-x (solo), road race, track days, time attack, road rally, rally cross, marketing, insurance, etc. Each presentation was recorded and is now available for SCCA member access and use on the Member Access Portal (MAP) of the SCCA national website.
