Dunes Update...presented April 4, 2013
Well, track opening on Easter weekend kept more than just the bunny hopping! Over 300 uber-excited riders came out and were so happy to be riding on Canadian outdoor dirt again!
We're now pretty much open 6 days a week for track riding, although there will be a few days the end of next week, when we will be closed in preparation for the April 14 CMRC Season Opener ANQ Motocross Races. Now it's time to gear up for this BIG event!! We're open this week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday for general public track riding....that is the main, track, pee-wee track and beginner track. The trails are closed till the end of April.
And on Sunday, April 7 it's MOTOCROSS Spring Tune-Up Time! This is an open race practice on the main track and pee-wee track for members of CMRC, MMRS & CMX. For those racers who have not yet purchased their 2013 licence from their selective clubs, there will be representatives here on April 7 that will be selling new memberships, distributing their schedules, answering any questions and promoting their Club.
Sign-in will begin at the Wiseco Pavilion starting at 9am till 3pm. Practice laps will begin at 10am and wrap up by 5pm.
This organized practice will have racers divided by bike and class levels throughout the day. Racers will also have the opportunity to test their transponders on the main track. If you don't already have your AMB transponder, there will be Race Day Services staff on-site this weekend, for a last chance to pick yours up. Cost for a transponder is $125. Racers on the Gopher Dunes pee-wee track do not need a transponder.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT show up on Race Day without your transponder! Before using, it will require a full 24-hour charge and you must go online to activate it. More details below....
April 7 Test & Tune Practice Fee: $30. per rider
All riders will be required to sign a Waiver Release Form (by parent or guardian, if under 18)
Once the racer has purchased their 2013 Club Membership, he must carry this member card with him to all races throughout the season and present it at every registration.
CMRC Members will need to show their 2013 licence at the Season Opener ANQ MX Race at Gopher Dunes on April 14. If you have not received your 2013 Card, you will have to show the 'Paid Receipt' that you are given at time of purchase. We strongly encourage that you purchase your CMRC membership in advance online....it's fast, it's convenient and you can immediately print your own card and will then have access to your membership for reference or to reprint your card. Remember, this card will need to be shown at all 2013 CMRC races! Go to: www.cmrcracing.com under Corporate, go to Licence Holders, then select: Purchase Licence Online; log in, fill in, pay & print off.....it's that simple!
It's been a L-O-N-G winter and everyone is itching to hop back on their bikes and hit the dirt! See you at practice....
Update from Race Day Services (RDS)
- A reminder to everyone that your transponder must be charged for at least 24 hrs and activated before the Gopher Dunes practice. If not, then you will not be able to use it that day. You must make sure the bracket is positioned behind your front number plate and the arrow is pointed in the right direction. Please read the use and care manual here....

So racers, now when you're loading up your bike, gas and gear; make sure you also pack your fully-charged transponder before heading to the races, and remember to carry your membership card in your wallet at all times!
Calling all riders wanting to improve on their sand riding and racing skills.
