Elections could happen every two years along with a convention for the members in a nice part of the country. The organization should be run for the benefit of its members. I think track owners, sponsors, and people who hold a competition liscense and race three or four times a year should be eligible to vote.
According to the 2009 tax returns $4.4 million was collected in membership "dues". At an average of $60, this equates to over 73,000 members. Track owners, sponsors and racers maybe comprise 10% of that? So, if the organization is to be run for the "benefit of its members" then how is it equitable to exclude the largest block of people from voting?
