Officer’s reports:
President: Tony Baker-
Been playing up the 40th year anniversary patches
The MRA in some form has been around for 40 years
We came up with patches- 2 for $10 1 for $10 all the money goes to the safety fund
Got a couple hundred if demand is High we will order more
T-shirts being printed again
Hope to have them by the race school
Racewurx- Online entry this is about the time of year we open it & we hope to open it this coming week, No early jump
Hope to have it open by Monday
The new system has it set up… it will make your lives & our lives much easier.
Link classes, If it is a combined race when you sign up for 1 you can’t sign up for the other, should make life easier
We are going to attempt a mock race on Sat so if you can bring your transponder
People in the race day office work & testing we will be there for to answer questions but please try to let them get their work done
Marc Allen the guy that made this system will be at R1 to help us out with any issues we might have.
This is a cheap way for us to have insurance by having him there
Insurance is done & sent to all the tracks
Pueblo got us a contract so we are good to go with that
We are going to work with Judy Fasst to help her understand the Motorcycle Gys
Nick Iaknos will be running the lapping days
Programs- 5 boxes & Edisplays have got them to the dealers from up north to Grand Prix
Programs at the race school…..it is also a track is a lapping day so will have session Take it easy learn from your instructors, don’t be afraid to ask questions… we were all novice once too we know what it feel like
Are we using PayPal for the whole season, Yes unless you have made arrangements with Rachael to give her a check & she will put a credit on your account
We are saving thousands of dollars in fees by using PayPal
You don’t have to have a pay pal account to pay.
The 4hr endurance race most people do it cause they have to… it will not have anything to do with points we will not be giving points this year. Most people just run it because they need their points.
We think that the 4hr Endurance is losing money & this is the year that it will either sink or swim
On the production cup- if you hear of someone running that class let us know we are currently unsure.
We don’t want to buy trophies if no one is running that class.
