the Board of Directors is reprimanded or warned for the conduct of one of its
Members, member's crew, family or guests, they are hereby instructed to give a
written warning to the member who causes the violation of NHRA Rule 19.3.1. If a
second reprimand or warning is given within a three year period, concerning one
of our members, to one of our Board Members, by any of the race tracks we
attend, then the AA/Supercharged Membership commands the Board of Directors to
send out to the AA/Supercharged Membership a ballot for the Membership to decide
whether or not the member should be voted out of the Association for violation
