hi all. since many of you are ahrma members, please remember that the december issue of vintage views will have a ballot to cast your vote for ahrma trustees. if i could get a large number of even just the pog members votes, it would go a long way to helping me in my bid for the board of trustees.please remember that i am running in the eastern region so you have to be from east of the mississippi to vote for me. i think that there will be quite a few candidates so there will be a lot of vote splitting. i have worked diligently for the betterment of vintage racing and have been instrumental in putting together a number of very succesful ahrma cross-country events. feel free to contact me at
[email protected] i'll be adding to this discussion from time to time to remind folks when it gets closer to the time to send in the ballots. :)
Good Luck Jerry.
You got mine.

Jerry, You got my vote even if you did eat all my ribs at Mid-Ohio. Stork
Jerry, Glad to see you are running for trustee again. AHRMA needs someone with your knowledge and energy. Best of luck.

Please remember to VOTE VOTE VOTE! Hopefully you won't vote for the Same Old Same Old either. If that happens remember the Same Old results are probably going to happen. Dwindling participation and cancelled events from lack there of.

hi again guys. some of the Road Race crowd on another message board are being a little dismissive about my chances to win this trustee election. little do they know how many ahrma off road members are behind me, especially so many of you that are also POG members.i have a pretty decent following going on among those RR ranks as well. please get those ballots filled out when they come at the beginning of december and please vote wisely. thanks, chicago jerry
You can count on my vote...
Jerry
well guys. many of you may have already received your ahmra vintage views. inside is the postage paid ballot. please take the time to send it in ASAP before its placed on the back burner. i need all the votes that i can get to be successful in my bid for trustee. but above all, please vote. also, remember that you have two AVAILABLE votes to cast on whatever side of the mississippi you reside. but if you feel strongly about one candidate in particular, you may want to consider casting only ONE vote. the second one could make the difference between your favorite candidate winning or losing to someone else, especially with there being seven people running. so please vote wisely.thanks everyone for keeping me in mind.chicago jerry grakauskas
Jerry can Fred G. be trustee and offroad director both? Did not expect Bob S. to throw his hat in also.

at barber,i asked a number of trustees to get this clarified before the ballots came out. they discussed it and decided that if fred did not accept a salary, that he could hold both. the other issue with it is that the Executive director (dave lamberth) answers to the board but the ORD answers to the ED. so basically fred would be one of dave's boss's and dave would be fred's. anyway, the board says its fine that he can be both and if he gets elected, then we'll live with it. rob mclendon is in the same boat, he is the dirt track director. when boydstun was ord, they would not let him be both trustee and ord. now they claim that it was all about boydstun being a salaried employee. but regardless of who else is running or not, i plan on winning one the the eastern seats. i hope that everyone takes the time to vote... jerry

Sure wish I could vote for you, unfortunately, I live about 180 miles too far west of the river. Sure hope you get it done this time.
Good luck!!
