Hey Everyone!
I have decided to undertake the task of documenting the history of the MRA. (I may be crazy.)
Part of this project will entail scanning all available MRA Programs.
I have 22 programs but am also missing some years and am asking all Mra members (current and former) to help me find the missing years.
I have the years 1985 through 2009 EXCEPT
I Need:
1987
1994
2003
2006
I also need all years older than 1985 ( Thanks to Chuck Lee for 1985)
I would also like to collect any memories members wish to write down about the MRA . Also any pictures that members have that are noteworthy.
If you can help me out please contact me via email at vanmarracing@mindspring.com
or call me at 303-944-0334
Thanks!

Looking at that cover from 03-04, have they change the configuration of what is now 6 & 7 at pueblo since then?
This should be interesting winter reading for a noob like me.

Actually it was Shane Turpin who's trailer was covered with various femine hygiene products. And the reason why...it was his Birthday! I am not sure who did this terrible deed.
Bob Miosek went crazy at Daytona one year and put mini pads EVERYWHERE!
Of Course I tried to stop him. He bought up all the mini pads in a 2 miles radius and put them on all the racers trucks/trailers.
He was a wild man!

Peter,
It's all highly scientific and very difficult to explain, but the reality of the changes you've noticed is simply a question of who drew the track map. :D
