Who would ask such a question?
Anyone else think this mystery internet troll is our former treasurer?

I will save you the time. I am not a member. I have not been a member.
I was considering joining this club, and have attended a meeting, read your Executive Board minutes, and many posts on this forum. Everything I posted on this forum I learned from your website, forum and overheard at your meeting. I must say this club has many problems that need to be resolved, and won't join this club. I meant no harm, but was trying to explore what is wrong and write with this club to see if I would join.
All of you should sit back, have a beer and give each a hug. You are a club, not a business or government. All of you should be friends. You have common interests. No one will lose a job, house, spouse, child or die because of your club. Enjoy your club, your cars and the members in your club. When you hang your dirty laundry outside everyone will see it. Speak well of your club and those who are in it.
I will say good bye, and wish you all well.

What is wrong is you. The people put in charge had a very very difficult time with this incident. The perpetrator of these crimes was considered to be a very close friend to all of us. But it is their responsibility to keep all the $ that the club has earned through it's driver education program and other sources of revenue generation. Weather it's 5000.00, 6200.00 or 60000.00 it is the duty of the execs to correct what has been done. We are a not for profit club and it falls under very strict guidelines under state law. Would it have been better if they had just let the money disappear. If that had happened and the state performed an audit it could have held all execs liable instead of one person who did something that was very wrong. I can say that this has affected me personally because the accused was one of my best friends. This friendship is now over because the actions of this individual. He defied the trust of me and all that trusted him and believed in this persons integrity. It is unfortunate that you don't want to join our club it is full of good people and can add allot of fun to you life. As far as the cost to find the financial improprieties. They are not relevant because the cost of doing nothing could potentially make us lose our state not for profit status and could bring an end to rtr. There are too many people who value this club and the enjoyment it brings to let that happen. Besides it protects other organizations form becoming pray of the same scam. How would it appear if 1 year later we found out that a little league baseball program was scammed out of thousands of dollars and we could have stopped it? Typically the accused if found guilty will be required not only to pay back the money but will also be responsible for all related and legal expenses incurred. That will put the club up $25000.00 according to your figures and will protect club members from additional theft. But it is fairly apparent that you lack the moral fiber that is so common for rtr so it may be best that you don't join our club. With all those old cars maybe some hot rod club or classic car club may be more your cup of tea. If you would like to discuss this further please come to the meeting next week at AWE tuning.

Here Here Very Well Put

On a lighter note here is the latest price list for SVRA:
Event Activities (Please check all applicable boxes.) Non-Member Member
- dmano - 09-17-2009
Remember these prices do not include any food provided by the club. You need to have full 16.1 spec race gear: SA helmet, gloves, shoes, socks, fire suit, full fire system in the car, roll cage, seat, belts and so on.
One great thing about SVRA is the vintage race cars you get to see and see race. Nothing like a Can Am car running a F/I big block. O the music in my ears.
The cost to run with RTR "priceless"
