| September RSI Membership Meeting |
| 9/11/2020
RSI Officers would like to get a head count on who is planning on attending the scheduled RSI September meeting. As a general reminder, the bylaws states that there must be four (4) officers and/or Board members and at least ten (10) members present to have the meeting.
As reported in the August 2020 RSI Newsletter, the RSI Officers are planning on holding the September RSI Membership Meeting on September 19th, at 12:00pm. The location of the meeting will be at the Track Support Building.
In case of inclement weather, we will move the meeting to the garages. In addition to regular meeting business, nominations for all up-coming vacancies will be taken from the floor. As you can see, your participation is vital to the continuation of our organization.
We hope to see everyone there. Once again, RSI Officers are requesting that you RSVP, using our MotorsportReg site, to those who are planning on attending the Membership Meeting.

SVRA US Vintage Grand Prix Weekend Cancelled!! See SVRA's statement below:
Dear Fellow SVRA Racer,
After very careful consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the US Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, scheduled for September 9-13, 2020.
We’ve worked diligently with New York State officials, the Governor’s office and the track to address every imaginable aspect of health and safety for our staff and participants. Even after arranging for COVID-19 testing at the track for everyone, we’ve been unable to find a manageable solution for the travel restrictions and quarantine requirements imposed by New York State.
Please take every necessary precaution to ensure the continued good health of your family and yourself. I look forward to seeing you at a race soon.
Best Regards,
Tony Parella
CEO
Parella Motorsports Holdings
