The AKRA is set to return to Lamar County Speedway, August 18th and 19th 2018. Plans are to have some local option classes that will allow people with MG tires to race that weekend. Complete race schedule will be published when all the details are finalized. 
The GSKA is actively looking for sponsors to help fund our racing in 2018. Attached you will find flyers that can be used to approach potential sponsors. With your help, the club can have one of it’s best years ever!
The votes are in and the membership decided to stick with seven board members. So we now are on the hunt for four nominees. There will be a two week period for these nominations, so nominations will close December 13th at 6:00pm. The positions to be filled are as follows:
Secretary
4 Cycle Director
2 Cycle Director
Director at large.

Dear GSKA Members,
Concerns were brought to the Board’s attention by club members in regards to the nomination procedures and subsequent election for the 2018 GSKA Board of directors. In addition, during Board discussions, the question was raised if the GSKA actually needs seven directors or can we function just as well with five. It is for this reason that the Board is conducting this poll. Please make a selection in the poll at the bottom of this post. We have two options:
Because of the need for the GSKA to have a fully populated Board quickly, this poll will close at midnight on November 29th. Once the poll is completed the GSKA will then start requesting nominations to fill either two or four seats. The GSKA would like to be able to hold new elections by the middle of December.
If you have any desire to help the club grow, please contact us via the following link: https://thegska.com/contact-
The banquet will be held November 12, from 2pm-4pm at the Dave & Buster’s in Marietta. Registration and menu info will be available soon.

The red flag incident during the LO206 Sportsman race on Saturday threw off the timing and scoring computer, causing the results to be incorrect. This has been fixed, and the race results and championship standings have been updated to reflect the correct finishing order. See below for links directly to your results and standings.
Thanks to those that mentioned it to us, and if anything else looks incorrect, please let us know!
This year we were fortunate to receive just enough nominations to move forward with a full board of directors instead of a scaled down board. I spoke to the 2018 Board Nominees and they all felt the extra help would be a benefit. Since none of the candidates are running with opposition the board will be installed as follows:
We will post a voting page on the GSKA site as a matter of order until October 10th. We will install this new board officially during the October race. I and the rest of the GSKA BOD appreciate everyone’s support over the last two years and encourage you help the new board continue to build on the success.
This is a fun event that we look forward to every year! If you have never seen these cars before they are high tech, very cool, very fast formula-style cars designed and built by college students. Each year this event has gotten better and the competition even tighter.
FSAE teams wanting additional practice time on Friday can sign up and pay for that here. Please note that practice registration is per driver so if you have multiple drivers testing, you will need to select the appropriate option on the signup page.
Each team member and/or spectator in the pit areas on race day will need a wristband ($10), which can be purchased in advance with your registration online, or purchased on race day at the concession/registration stand.
Online registration will open on 9/18. FSAE teams registering online should use the Formula SAE class and list your school for your name when signing up.
