    Great article from RRW

    Even though I have not heard of this happening in our club, I think it is a good article that we should read and be aware of

    Sounds like the crew who visited both Daytona and Atlanta one year. Racers should always beware of thief's as many of the general public aren't as honest as we are. Always, always lock up your sh^t.

    How about a sign at HPR ...

    Attention pit thieves:
    We have a shotgun, a shovel, and 460 acres.
    Don't mess with our stuff.

    I think we could round up more than just one shotgun... 00--00

    First I guess we need to work on getting people to realize that the new track actually exists and the MRA's still around. I have spoken with many who are under the understanding that the MRA is defunct as when all the Denver racetracks shut down so did the organization who participated. Granted these must be casual observers but surprising that the word hasn't gotten out. I hope to help promote the club in the coming year and believe that a new outlook on how to promote our club could benefit us now that we have a closer facility to race at. Many believe that the promotions committee is not needed. I believe that if you get the word out people will show up. Thoughts?

    Good idea!! Also, what do you think about a $20 track fee added to the entries (split into track security / maintenance, corner work, plumbing & electrical construction). This could be pretty decent way to keep our peace of mind as we head out to pre-grid.

    Are these people living under a rock? If you type in "colorado motorcycle racing" into google, mra-racing.org hits at the absolute top. Not SRAC, or RMXA, or any ice racing, flattrack, drags or anything else.

    I tried "motorcycle racing" in google (which searches the entire planet, you know) and we're on the first page - only behind amaproracing.com. AMA supercross doesn't even show up on the 1st page.

    Sheesh ...

    Oh, and Happy Birthday, Jon, you old man.

    Bob Darcey is in charge of all the signs at HPR, I'll let him know

    You begin your racing career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
