As part of the fun and activities scheduled for the Mile Marker event in November, FAST’R plans to hold a family style enduro the day before the race. The enduro will be a real timekeeper for those who want to test their skill, and will be held on the course (or those portions that are easy enough for everybody) as an opportunity to pre ride before the race.  FAST’R will hold a brief timekeeping clinic beforehand if there is enough interest, and the best timekeeper will get a special ‘traveling’ trophy as the start of what is hoped to be a tradition. Remember, all that is required is a watch, route sheet (provided) and odometer. The rest is up to you.  Speed averages will be low, but all the rest of the endure tricks are in play. For those not up to the challenge, there is likely to be a poker run set up as well. Family and friend are allowed and encouraged to ride together.

You can still donate to the Neil Slater Fund. All donations go directly to Neil's family.

TRS’ Third Annual San Manuel Copper Classic was a huge success thanks to you, the racers. You guys were great this year, the staging area was cleaner than when we arrived. The town of San Manuel truly welcomes us with open arms and you all did a great job of helping TRS continue our relationship with the town.

As most of you know our big bike race went very well. The course was a little slower than last year and a little more challenging, but still a real fun course. I hope you all had as much fun racing it as we did hosting it for you. Congratulations to the Overalls: O/A A-Pernell Yazzie, O/A B-Anthony DeFazio and
O/A C-Aaron Kramm.

If any of you didn’t receive your O/A awards (or any other trophies from the Copper Classic), they will be available for pick up at Camp Wood.

 Our only “issues” with the big bike race was 2 of our Pro riders deciding to take each other out. I hear both are recovering well. Best wishes on a speedy recover Kyle and Max!

We all talk about good sportsmanship and at this race we did have one standout sportsman. Travis Epperson stopped to help Max and Kyle and ended up throwing his own race away to escort Kyle back to the pits. This is club racing and no one’s race is more important than another’s health. So thanks to Travis for being a good sportsman!

We had a great turnout for the minis, 45 racers and some exciting racing. All the minis conquered a challenging course and the 85 Advanced Class threw down a lap on the big bike course. And they all rode great. Make sure you kids thank your parents for giving you the opportunity to race.

As most of you know there were a few events on our calendar that were “tentative” mini events. Well Camp Wood was one of them. Unfortunately there will not be a mini race at Camp Wood. But I do have good news. Northland Motorsports and Grinding Stone have stepped up big and will be hosting Round 4 of the AMRA Mini Off Road Championship Series at Grinding Stone Sports Park on April 25, 2009. This will be a points paying event. More info will be posted soon, as well as a flyer, here at www.amraracing.com.

Also of note on the Mini Calendar is that both the Page and Monticello co-sanctions with Webe Racing will be points paying mini events. Webe is a quality series and we are excited to co-sanction with them for the 3rd straight year.

Since we are adding an event and because two of our events are such a long drive from the Valley of the Sun, we have decided to add 2 throwaways for the minis. This means that the minis’ 6 best finishes of the 8 events will be scored for the Championship.

We are blown away at the number of mini racers this year. Last year our biggest mini event had 25 racers. This year we’ve had 2 events with more than 40 riders! Our mini riders outnumber our A riders! Thanks to you parents and your kids for making our mini series such a successful and quality series. Also a big thanks to Northland Motorsports for being our title Mini Series sponsor, they really have stepped up big to support our series and we really do appreciate it. So please support the shops that support us, www.northlandmotorports.com.

If any of you have any further questions regarding the mini series please email me at ministeward@amraracing.com.
