    The History of the MRA

    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!

    Yea, that's my husband on the front. My rookie season, too. Who would've guessed I'd marry him? :wink:

    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.
