So with the issues we have with participation, a large part of it comes down to trying to make sure that people really feel like a part of the club, and that means hitting the social side of things pretty hard early in the fall semester. Motorsports is what brings us all together in the first place, but its the friendships formed that are going to keep new members invested. I think the reason a lot of people don't go to the track is that they would be going for a full weekend with people they do not know well. My first trip to the track was just like that and it was pretty nerve racking. In the end, I was glad I did it, but putting myself out there for the opportunity was difficult.

As far as specifics go for an ice breaker or method for bringing students together for an evening, I won't say that I've fully thought through those plans, because, well, I haven't. :dunno: I'm not too concerned with making specific plans now that would just change come fall, so those are just ideas that could be fully fleshed out between the officers closer to the date.
