Rider Clinic at Pilot Mound on August 28th

MMA Rider Clinics are an excellent opportunity for riders to get group lessons on going fast and riding smart, as well as gaining some experience at the various race tracks on the MMA circuit. The main emphasis of these clinics is to learn the basic techniques of riding that will allow you to feel more comfortable, go faster and have more fun on the bike. We won’t exactly teach you how to do the Bubba scrub, but we will teach you the same basic techniques that he used when he first started racing. These clinics are geared for everyone from 4-64 years and 50cc riders up to and including Junior class riders. Cost is $40.00 per rider.

For more info please CLICK HERE, or you can CLICK HERE to pre-register…this is mandatory.  If you don’t pre-register, you will be subject to a $10 late fee.  Deadline for pre-registration is Thursday at 5pm.

Missing

It only took 15 minutes…and it was found.   Thanks!!

The staging area 10′ x 10′ pop-up tent has a carry case that has gone missing. It was last used in Beausejour and is still needed to carry the tent around. It’s a large black soft bag with full zippers and side pouches. These things don’t vanish into thin air, do they?

If you saw it blowing around in the Sunday “hurricane like” winds and happened to pick it up, or know where it is…. please let us know and return it to the MMA trailer at the next race.

Thanks……….
