Copies of the Treasurer’s report was passed around and discussed.  There was $3112.3 in the checking account as of October 31, 2004 and all bills are paid for to this date.  Tony Cerovski asked if the Association owed Tom Carnegie any monies for printing expenses or what ever and Tom replied that he was owed no monies to date.  Tony Cerovski motioned to accept the 2004 Treasurer’s Report, 2nd by George.  All yeas, no nays.<\/h5>\n
Old Business was called for and Mike Cuff stated that the City of Eureka and surrounding area enjoyed our Association and event.  We are welcome to come back to Eureka anytime.<\/h5>\n
New Business was called for. Dave Huson motioned to increase the annual dues.  A discussion reveled that the membership liked the news portion of the letters, but did not care to have the stories continue.  Also, it was decided that we would The not pay for color  printing because of the expense and because most everyone has no trouble downloading the pictures from Tom Carnegie’s “Montana 500” link on the Antique Auto Ranch web site, http:\/\/www.antiqueautoranch.com\/montana500\/index.html.  Dave with drew his motion and membership dues will remain at $10.00 per year for now.<\/h5>\n
Gary Ebbert motioned to allow the driver-owner of the “teardown” cars be allowed to participate in the tear down, but still be eluded from the inspection.  A discussion resulted.  Steve Coniff added that he would like to have the option of using rubber hose on the rod bolts so that the crank journals will not become nicked.  Gary Ebbert stated that the rod shims might be lost or misplaced during the  removal and replacement of the stock rod assembly.  Rick Carnegie suggested that we wire the head bolts separately to the pan bolts and separately wire the carburetor bolts.  Gary’s motion was passed and will be added to the teardown rules as follows.  “Drivers or the even the owners may disassemble and reassemble their own cars during the teardown.”<\/h5>\n
Race Route:  AT 11:30 am, President Rick called for race routes.
\nHelena was nominated by Scott Stubbert, 2nd by Tony Cerovski.
\nShelby was nominated by Mike Robison, 2nd by Tom Carnegie.
\nLewistown was nominated by Steve Coniff, 2nd by Janet Cerovski.
\nGreat Falls was nominated by Mike Cuff, 2nd by Kathleen Ebbert.
\nShelby was voted out after a discussion on road construction, Great Falls was voted out, and a show of hand between Helena and Lewistown selected Lewistown as the site.<\/h5>\n
Race Dates:
\nScott Stubbert nominated July 10-14, 2005, 2nd by Dave Huson.
\nDoug Langel nominated June 26-30, 2005, 2nd by George Nickol.
\nTom Carnegie nominated June 19-23, 2005, 2nd by Mike Robison.
\nDave Huson and Kathleen Ebbert provided the dates of the National Tour and other events and further discussion occurred.
\nBy majority hand vote, June 19-23 was selected for the 2005 race dates.<\/h5>\n
Rule Changes:  Restrictor Plates.
\nDoug Langel motioned for restrictor plates on all cars, 2nd by Gary Ebbert.
\nMark Hutcheson commented on the legality of the power boosting fuel additives being used by some. George Nickol commented on the increased speeds available going downhill without the plate and the added ability to catch a ride or tailgate on semi trucks. A hand vote was called for and the motion failed.
\nMike Robison motioned to not use restrictor plates in any car, 2nd by Steve Coniff.  Tony Cerovski asked if we would be willing to return to using o stock intake manifolds and not allow the use of the non-Ford-Script Chaffen products if the restrictor plates were not used.  The Similar discussion occurred and the motion carried 12 in favor, 8 against.  Rule 33 will be stricken.<\/h5>\n
President Rick called for a 15-minute recess.
\nGeorge Nickol motioned for an amendment to the previous rule change and asked one year-race trial period on the rescinding of Rule 33.  Motion failed by majority hand vote.<\/h5>\n
Steve Coniff motioned for adding a new rule stating “Modification of timer interior allowed.”  Steve’s main point is that the current stock New Day brush holders break, the brush material is a substandard material and that many veteran racers have made modifications to the brush, holder, and covers.
\nThe motion was put to a vote and was passed.<\/h5>\n
Tony Cerovski asked that the above new timer rule statement be changed to “Modification to timer materials and components allowed.”  Discussion included allowing the use of aluminum or steel ring be allowed with the Crystal Timer instead of the fragile potash.  Most members agreed that what ever that was modified on the inside could extend to the exterior.
\nMotion failed 12-4.<\/h5>\n
Tom Carnegie motioned that the following words be added to the MCCTA BY-LAWS.  “Officers and Directors will comply with the MTFCA requirements for obtaining Chapter status and event insurance.”  Discussion includes that if the MCCTA would like to remain a Chapter of the MTFCA and or obtain the event insurance that we should place the above verbiage in to the BYLAWS.  A hand vote occurred and we will add the above verbiage to the BYLAWS.  I suppose that we will allow a month or so grace period for new and existing directors to become MTFCA members.  It is known that the insurance must be purchased by about April.<\/h5>\n
The Meeting was adjourned at 1:08 pm, Sunday, November 14, 2004<\/h5>\n
