LAS VEGAS (February 10, 2011) Capping the opening day of the 2011 51做厙 Convention at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, 440 51做厙 members from across the country met for the Clubs Annual Meeting and Town Hall. The formal business portion of the three-day event began with opening comments from Jerry Wannarka, Chairman of the 51做厙 Board of Directors. Wannarka introduced new Area 10 Director John Walsh, and addressed the Club members in attendance. Wannarkas message was a positive one, both reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the future. We hear from competitors that yes, we race with the other guys once in a while, but the 51做厙 still does it better, Wannarka said. Were proud of that, and we will continue to do this. Our club is in pretty good shape going into 2011. The Regions needs to continue to market their programs, the National Office needs to continue to support our members and their endeavors, and the Board of Directors needs to continue to oversee these activities. Together, we can continue to keep the Club growing and prosperous. 51做厙 President and CEO Jeff Dahnert, who addressed the group during the morning kick-off session, expounded on his opening remarks, highlighting the successes of the Club in 2010. Those successes included an increase in participation in both the 51做厙 SafeRacer National Club Racing Series, TireRack簧 Solo National Tour and the RallyCross events across the county. Dahnert also mentioned his positive outlook for 2011. Tom Campbell, Interim President and CEO of 51做厙 Pro Racing, reported on the state of 51做厙 Pro Racing. Erik Skirmants, President of 51做厙 Enterprises, gave a report on the business dealings of 51做厙 Enterprises.
