on the off chance that I'm not able to make it to the meeting for the actual elections, I shall put up a few words for myself here.
I (David Allen) have been a member since August of '02, when I took my first hit off the go-fast crackpipe at Lowe's, working my first HPDE. Since then, I have been in attendance at all but 4 NASA HPDEs since Aug02 (also have done CarGuys), as well as going to several autoX events, 2 karting trips, and a few trips to various race shops. I consider myself to be very involved and committed to the club. If any of you have attended an unofficial official MM party since Fall 03, it was probably at my house. I actually participated in my first HPDE last February and just can't get enough of driving. I constantly plug MM to random people at work who drive nice/well-modified cars, despite the funny looks I get. I enjoy all forms of motorsports, but my favorites right now would have to be autoX, karting, and road racing. Although next year will be my senior year, I can think of no better way to leave than to devote more of my time to an organization that I enjoy so much as MM, and whom I attribute with providing me with an awesome group of friends with similar interests, as well as giving me some direction with an idea of some things I want to accomplish in my life.
As to being a treasurer, I think that I am very good with money. I am a finance major and have been pretty much self-sufficient for close to three years now, recieving minimal help from parents unless in dire need. In this time period, I have received a loan (w/o cosign or any previous credit) and refinanced that loan, showing that I am knowledgeable of how to work with money. I maintain a stringent record of all of my expenses and am capable of reporting the balance of how much money I have to spare at almost any given point in time. I would be an effective treasurer for MM due to this ability to track expenses and incoming funds, as well as my ablility to plan for the future.
I don't have a catchy slogan like Ryan, but I know that I will work hard as a member of the MM executive council and I have the qualities necessary to be a great treasurer. I hope to expand my experiences in the motorsport realm (maybe even to a little drag :gasp:
)while getting to know the finer workings of our club and its members. Vote for me on April 6th for treasurer, and I will work to help ensure the success of Madison Motorsports.
edit: Ryan has so graciously provided me with a catchy slogan: "Vote for Dave and money you'll save!" I also forgot to mention that I can cook up a mean pork chop sandwich and would have no hesitation to punch Maeng in the dick in an attempt to prevent the purchase of girl scout cookies (despite the appalled look on the woman's face).
