I like to thank all of the Instructors that helped out with the Superstreet Class this weekend (every weekend for that matter).

Having 26 entries required a lot of instructors, and everyone stepped up, and piched in. Some of those instructors raced Endurance also, putting them "Back to Back" with the Superstreet practice.

I do apologize for the slight chaos while pairing up the students with the instructors this weekend. One of our instructors had a mechanical in the Endurance race, and I was notified just a few minutes before Superstreet was up, so I had to quickly get my bike ready, suit up, etc; which left me very little time to line someone up to help on Pre-grid. So, between that, and the fact that we had 26 Students, the Pre-grid for practice didn't go exactly smooth.

I am going to make a few changes as to how we go about pairing up the riders with the instructors, so that goes smoother in the event of 20+ riders, as well as make a change so that there is more Practice Time.

Once again... Thank You! to all of the instructors that took time out their day to help out the MRA and the Superstreet Riders.

I'd also like to give props to the Superstreet Riders themselves, for putting on a great race to watch, and with only one crash. Job well done.

Good Job Jeff! It was a bit of a chaotic weekend for many it seemed like. In the end, you got them all out there and they got to do a race and have fun. To me that is success.

You gotta expect a little chaos with 26 of us who don't know where to be or what to do! Thanks to everyone who helps put on the Superstreet class. I know it requires a lot of hand-holding for us riders, but we really appreciate it. I'm getting my own cheering section down to PPIR next round, so hopefully it'll be as much fun to watch as recent races!

I'd also like to thank Brownie and all the instructors, because I know I had a great time out there, even though the ending wasn't what I had hoped for. :lol: Thanks again to the corner workers for being out there, and the guys that picked me up when my bike said no more.

Also thanks to the whole MRA family for the help throughout the weekend. It's weird going from being the photographer to the fellow racer for a day. I like it!

Thanks Brownie!! You are the one that is securing the future for this club and having 26 new riders on the Superstreet grid is a HUGE success!! When the MRA is back to having 150+ riders a weekend you will know that it is due to your efforts!! Now lets get even more for PPIR!!! Also, if you need help in the future I would be glad to do whatever I can just let me know!!

I was loaded up and heading out when I saw all the superstreet guys practicing. I was shocked at how many. That's awesome. By my math, seems like Superstreet was 20+% of the bikes out there.

Nice job, Brownie! Coordinating that many newbs was a huge effort and it bodes well for future MRA girds.

26 to be exact!

Biggest field to date - it was a lot of fun to both teach and watch, and I'm thrilled that the program is going well.

Not gonna lie, I (and more than a few others) were waiting for one of the most epic clusterf**k's of the season when we saw the size of that grid, which probably explains some of the spectator turnout lined up on the wall.

Hat's off to you all for taking a huge group of new riders and enabling them to have one great race!

I suppose that's why that Desmo left before the race! It's too bad, starting from front row, he could've easily had the hole shot.

Nah, he had some equipment problems. The suit he had was too tight without a back protector in it, once we added the back protector and zipped it up he simply couldn't move. He's going to come back and visit us another time -

I really wanted to hear that thing on full song.

I wanted him to be there so I could brag about beating a Desmo. :)

Great job on keeping new blood flowing into the MRA, Brownie! :D Again, I know you have help, but I also know how much you are busting your butt as the New Rider Director. Keep it up!!

I was wondering what happened to that guy. I wanted to sit behind him for a while and just listen to the sweet music.

Amen!

Mark did a great job last year and Jeff has really grabbed the baton and run with it IMO.
