HERE HERE! Jim Wilson President Greetings MRA members and fans! Or Even If you’re reading this you already know about one of the big things happening in 2015! After a short vacation the season program has returned to the HERE MRA, and it’s a good thing too because we have a lot going on.
In this letter, last year, I discussed how we were poised to break To find out how to attendance records in 2014 following an extremely strong 2013. I’m advertise in the 2014 happy to report that it happened! 2014 marked one of the best years MRA Season Program Call: Aaron Fisk Jen Grosse in MRA history and we’re still accelerating. Our social media efforts Vice President Secretary continue to be highly successful, we’re rolling out an awesome new website, and our amazing sponsors continue to support us year after Racing Publications year. In return the MRA delivers tremendous value to those businesses Company by providing tickets to our events, passes to race the superstreet classes 303-254-9997 for their customers, and visibility on the MRA E-Displays which are in [email protected] shops across the State. Please acknowledge this support by visiting the shops that sponsor our classes and advertise with us.
2015 will be a year of changes and beginnings as well. Our weekends Carl Sorensen Rachael Zell have always started with an invocation and in 2015, after decades of VP of Rules & Tech Treasurer service, Chaplain Paul “Boots” Reimer will not be presiding over that blessing at each round. Each race has a structured start as well and, again, the person who has presided over that start for decades, Bob Heaton, will be absent from our grid in 2015. I know I speak for the club and community as a whole when I say “thank you” to Boots and Bob for their years of service.
Beginnings are exciting, and in 2015 a new national motorcycle racing series, Motoamerica, is on the verge of taking off. With a clear rules Chris Sorensen Jeff Brown package that aligns with other national series’, feeder classes, and people Track Marshal New Rider Director who understand motorcycle competition at the helm, the series has tremendous potential. You can catch these races on your TV, computer, or even better yet, in person. With the tremendous talent in the MRA don’t be surprised when you see your favorite MRA racers competing at Motoamerica events representing our club on the national stage.
With all of this momentum 2015 is sure to be a season of great starts and solid performances. I’ll see you on the grid! Louden David Shannon Moham Rider Representative Rider Representative Jim Wilson President
