[F500] [Fwd: RE: ATTN: Advisory Committees]

[Jeff Blumenthal]

  Fellow F500 racers:
 Below is a response I got today from Jeremy Thoennes.  I asked for 
clarification about the recent Fastrack.  Those of us who are concerned 
about the 494Rave being legalized had better let the SCCA know.

Jeff,
The Club Racing Board has published a recommended rule change to allow 
the 494 Rave for the 2005 season.  The decision now rests in the hands 
of the Board of Directors to approve that recommendation, as well as the 
implementation date.  In short, no further action is required by the CRB.
 
As the Club Racing Board discussed the letters from Breschini, and 
McLeod, they were mentioned in their meeting minutes, and published in 
FasTrack. 

-Jeremy
