Recommend Recreational/Road Riding Committee consider outline for National Championship Road Riding Series (to replace National Championship Poker Run Series). Intent should be to encourage road riding activities by AMA members and encourage membership through friendly, non-speed oriented competition among riders. New Series should award points to participants for attending local and national AMA sanctioned events, as well as continued skills improvement, community |

| 62 | Establish a new financial relationship between the AMA and the motorcycle industry. The industry should provide all the costs of the government relations department. The industry should provide half of all other racing costs in the amateur racing and costs left in Pro Racing and half of the costs of the road division. Dues then could be reduced. | P. Schlegel |
| 63 | Stop sanctioning road events. Instead sell advertising listings in the event calendar of the AMA magazine. | P. Schlegel |

| 66 | Because the Insurance Company wants both parents to sign the minor releases, and due to the problems this has caused clubs and promoters throughout the nation, I propose: If AMA is going to continue to offer the Annual Release Verification Card, THEN: 1.) Have such application ready by January 1st on the AMA website. 2.) Notify all competition license holders (not just those with a 2008 ARV card) that such an application IS available online, and encourage all to apply. Marketing is the key: Want | A. Sumner |

Insurance process needs reworked and completely revisited. the current process is flawed. AMA needs to define or make it clear the process on accepting Insurance companies. Today the process is not clear to the people it affects directly. the 10 question "questionairre" is not enough. |
