Just an FYI for anyone that is thinking of trying their hand at desert racing.
District 37 has put in place, starting this weekend, the Pie Plate Racer. In the past, this is how new racers that wanted to check out desert racing without buying a District Card would race.
The cost is $10 for the weekend. So that would be the cost of the race that the club is putting on + $10. You use to have to buy a district number at $20 for the year, so you are saving $10 if you just want to do one event.
Also the AMA has stepped up and is allowing a one day membership as well at $20 so you do not have to spend $49 for a full membership at the races as well. The $20 is good for 90 days towards buying a full membership as well.
The combine savings is $39 if you are just going out to check an event out. I know some of you were looking into this and the upfront cost was a concern, well you can now use the extra $39 towards your fuel cost to fill the race scooter.
Also if you are thinking of getting the whole family an AMA Membership, you can now get The Family Membership, for $98. includes up to 5 memberships, one primary member gets full membership and all others have the competition rights. For this membership you must CALL 800 262 5646.
Just thought I would throw this out there to you all. There is a couple Euro Scrambles coming up in September that I have my eye on and maybe we can do a DBA representation out there. Maybe Shorty will cough up some shirts/bibs to wear to show the off-road world this site instead of all the MX stuff he only does....
If you have any questions, fire away and I will do my best to answer or find the answer for you.
Later - CDA

...... 
PLUS no birthdays to get in the way! This might be doable... 
"CDA Racing Presents - The Switchback 200" That's right 200 miles a razor sharp switchbacks, climbing and descending the great hills of California.
... but seriously, depending on how many miles it is I would consider it PLUS... We could get out to the rez on Friday, spend the night, drive over to the Staging area which isn't that far... race, come back to the rez for 
The other spectators just look at you and wonder if the guy riding is some famous dude or something. Once the winter or cooler months hit, they then turn into scrambles or Hare & Hounds and we would all be scattered on the same course at the same time. We would only have Rack and Rez in the pits dumping gas, cleaning our goggles, giving us water and patting us on the backs before sending us on another 40+ fun filled mile loop.
