Hello Gang! As many of you know, we’ve had a nearly identical set of board members for several years now. With an election coming up next month, we are looking for new volunteers to take over some of the duties of the club and help shape our future.
Anyone who volunteers and is elected as a board officer will receive the following, as all board officers do:
- FREE RACING, including the 2026 South National!
- Training and support for their duties
- No one will be left to “figure it out”. You will be assisted the entire way until you’re up to speed
- An immediate say/vote in all matters pertaining to the club
If you’re interested in helping the OTHG South Chapter for the 2026 season, don’t hesitate! Reach out to us at your earliest convenience. You can use the contact button below or email us directly at othgmx@othgmx.org
