McMurray Dirt Riders Association

Hi Everyone
I know it's been wet out but I spoke with Cory and with the weather forcast looking better we can do a race on Sunday.  If it's still too muddy for the little bikes we will create a tire track in the parking lot.  2PM, see you there.

Hi Folks
In discussion with a few people we have decided to cancel the race on Sunday August 29.  The rain we recieved this past week has the track in rough shape.  Stay tuned for the reschedule.

Hi Folks
 
It's time to race again!  Katie Ekroth of Remax Fort McMurray is our race sponsor for this Sundays racing.  Thank you Katie.  See you there at 2:00PM for riders meeting because the weatherman has promised sunshine for Sunday. I will bring the current race standings because some people can't open the formats I've put on the web site.  Attached is the whole race schedule.
 

Hello All
Here are the latest race results and standings.

The MDRA has added Helmet Cam footage on YouTube and embedded it on the MDRA website.
Full off road trip details including GPS trail path, altitude, and distance details as well as written descriptions and YouTube videos showing the terrain and obstacles are now available on the MDRA website. The first one to be added is from a trip taken last weekend. Click here to see the page.
Currently helmet cam footage is only available for off-road rides. If anyone is interested in embedding their helmet cam footage on the MDRA website contact luc@mdramx.com.

Hi Everbody
Race season is closing in and we set some aggresive targets to have a great race season this year... 

Hi Everybody
Attached are the minutes and budget from the annual general meeting.  Please let me know if you see any mistakes.

Hi Folks
 
I hope you have been watching supercross and been getting an itch to ride!  If the weather keeps going like the forecast looks, we could be riding sooner than normal.
 
Just a few updates.  Our local race schedule and the provincial MX and offroad events are on the web site.  Check it out.
 
Juanita Borle has volunteered to be secretary. Thank you Juanita!  No one came forward at the AGM for that position, so I was given the go ahead to find someone.  Speaking of the AGM, I will have the minutes on the web site by the end of the weekend.  I will also put up a package that will outline sponsorship opportunities.  I meant to have both of these done by now but am running a little behind.
 
Volunteer opportunities:  We are going to need to service the tractor with an oil change and figure out how to fix the power steering leak.  The discer needs to be taken apart and pieces replaced or taken for repair.  The trailer by the trees needs to be gotten rid of.  If anyone can think of someone that will take it that is great, otherwise I think we will have a demolition day.
 
Last item.  For all of the provincial MX races we have a good group of riders going.  I would like to go as a race team.  Have our own pit area and put up some banners.  I'm sure we can even get some sponsorship help.  Who wants to be involved?  So I can look at costs to give to sponsors.  What do you want to call the team?  I was thinking of Highway 63 Racing, for the highway we travel down to get to all the races.  I think someone can come up with something better.  We'll need a logo too.
 
That's all for now, but I'll have more early next week,
 
Scott
