Minutes from CAN-AM
Spring General Meeting
April 20, 2008
Black Bull Restaurant, Burlington, Ont.
The meeting was brought to order at 1:20pm by President Ken Lorenz.
The minutes from the last meeting on January 13, 2008 were read by
Secretary Cindy Lorenz. The minutes were accepted by Greg Smulders and 2nd

There was no financial report because Treasurer Craig Mackereth was not
present.
Ken goes over the schedule for 2008, including 3 races at Grand Bend, and
our special race, “The Canadian TQ Midget Nationals, Twin 25’s” at Barrie
Speedway. We will have Dave Smith do some interviews during our break
between the two 25 lap features. The format will be approximately the same
that we used previously at a Twin 25 lap race at Flamboro Speedway. More
information will be given closer to the race. Steve Snowden from Lucas
Oil is very excited about our special show at Barrie Speedway.
We will also have a Mid-Season Championship race at Peterborough Speedway
on July 19th.
New sponsors for the 3 race series at Sauble Speedway are ‘TIM-BR Mart’.
Cindy read over the new rules for 2008 season and with no opposition, the
rules were accepted.
Former President Harry Macy was at the meeting and spoke of his continued
progress of his health issues. Harry also spoke of his desire to again
promote indoor racing over the winter.
Dave Smith spoke of Can-Am Midget t-shirts he had on hand and the Hans
Device that will be available to the Club. There will be more information
at Practice Day at Flamboro. He also spoke about the Performance World
Car Show that the Club participated in this winter and thanked all of
those people that helped. Keep in mind that we will be looking for cars
for next year’s show.
Cliff Walsh told of the Committee being formed to study engines for the
future of the club.
