Racing in 2009
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Hello Racers !!!!!!!

We are looking forward to a great weekend of racing for our 1st event of the 2009 season. There has been a lot of changes happen over the past winter. Our new promoter group, GLMX is going great. We have created (2) new series for 2 wheel motorcycles and (2) new series for Quads. We think this will give all you racers a chance to have more fun during the season. This might give anyone suffering an injury or bike problems a chance to still have a good season and not just having to wait until next year to start over. We are doing our best to make things new and exciting. If you go to our website and click on to the GLMX logo on our home page it will take you to the GLMX website where you can get all the info on the new things our group is doing. None of the GLMX promoters will be putting articles in the Dist. 14 news anymore. This was District 14's decision not ours. Dutch is advertising in Cycle USA and we will be submitting articles to them also. We will have our race coverage posted on the GLMX website. We also will have trackside photos posted on the GLMX photo page. With all new adventures there will be things we are changing and making better as time goes on.

I know there are lots of questions on things we are doing differently. Please feel free to e-mail us with any questions you may have. We will do our best to get you the correct answer as soon as possible.

We are starting off the season with a NMA qualifier also included in our regular race day program. You will need to sign up for the NMA qualifier with Bruce Blake he will be parked by the tunnel. Rock River Powersports will be hand with their Yamaha support truck to help out all Yamaha mounted riders.
We should have our Kiosk machine up and running too. We will have it set up on the transponder deck for now.

We have a new Smurf City referee and Head scorer for 2009. Phil Velie and his daughter have been doing a great job back there for the last 5 years but Phil's son Nick now is doing great on the big track so we decided to move Phil to the big track to work. This will give him more time to take care of Nick's race needs. Thanks to all the Velie's for their hard work on the auto track. Our new referee is Ed Martin and his wife Paula, is going to be the head scorer. Ed and Paula worked the last few races last year getting to know the ropes and we welcome them aboard. Ed and Paula are members of our family and Ed has been around motorcycle racing for most of his life.

We are thinking we want to make a few changes with the Wobbler classes in the GLMX group. We may not have everything set by the 1st weekend but to keep things more fair we want to develop a system of points that will keep riders moving out of those classes as they develop their riding skills. In the past it has been always left up to the referee to decide when a rider must leave and sometimes it has been hard to decide the proper time. The ref will still need to decide if a rider falls into the Wobbler category or not but after that the points system might keep thing fairer. We really want to see the Wobbler class be for real wobblers.

We are still going to have the Smurf City track extended. We will not have it ready for the weekend but we are working on it. Look for us to make more changes on the old part also to make it more fun for the riders.

We hope to see you this weekend.

TraXide Outreach
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rich Troyer will be on hand this weekend with his traxide outreach trailer. He will also have a prayer service this weekend too. Time will be announced. Pleae read the following that he is working on.Food Drive Campaign
Local southern Michigan motocross tracks are committed to help the Southwest Gleaners Food Bank located in St. Joseph, Michigan. In an economy that has been riddled with unemployment, food banks are being stretched beyond their means in many ways. Demand certainly has been greater than the supply. Southwest Gleaners branch manager Rich Glista says, "An estimated one in ten west Michigan residents will need food assistance this year. Thanks to your efforts, many of these needy individuals are indeed being helped."
TraXide Outreach, Inc. and three local motocross tracks in southern Michigan are asking families who come to the motocross tracks to team up, together making an impact in the communities of southwest Michigan. Families are encouraged to bring along non-perishable food items or monetary contributions when they come racing at Red Bud MX, Dutch Sport Park, and Log Road MX.
Your donations will help the "Will Race For Food" food drive campaign to be a huge success in showing compassion for others. It will be a wonderful blessing to all of the families who are facing difficult times, lending a hand when they are down.
You can look for the orange shopping carts whenever you see the TraXide Outreach mobile community trailer or drop food items off at the participating tracks when you race there.
For questions about making contributions you can contact Rich Troyer at rich@traxideoutreach.com or go to the website at www.traxideoutreach.com
