Ron Lutz is getting together dates for Jackson Speedway & East Lansing Kartway.

Lower pricing for 2012 so I have been informed!

:thumbup:

I'm still way too busy with Sportbiketracktime, Apexmfg, & the STT/Apexmfg/Triumph AMA race team to organize any of the local minigp events. You can always step up & help Ron, Nic, Frank, & Dave T.!

I talked with Ron yesterday.

Still waiting for ELKT to confirm dates & pricing.

Jackson dates will co-inside with kart practice or racing, this lowers YOUR cost since we don't cover insurance!

Palmyra can be rented, it is for sale 80,000$ OBO! :hmmm:

Fremont should still be open for practice, short, sketchy, lots of fun 1-2 times a summer if you don't want to drive very far. They even have a mini dirt section for the supermoto minitards!

News from Ron L.

Hi everyone!
This will be the schedule for MIMRA track days.
I have provided for a variety of days of the week, and a couple evenings, as we always have folk with work, family, and distance issues.
The prohibitive cost of track rental without a firm committment by everyone to show up means that
all dates are shared practices with Karts.
Cost at ELKT will be $10 admission $20 per rider.
Cost at JS (Jackson Speedway) will be $12 admission and $10 to practice.
We can schedule racing on Kart race days at both tracks but I have NOT done so.
Racing at JS would cost the $12 +$20 and would include: two practices, two heat races, one final race, and trophies.

4/15 Sun EL 10-5pm
4/28 Sat JS 9-5
5/12 Sat EL 10-5
5/25 Fri EL 10-5
6/9 Sat EL 10-5
6/21 Thu JS 6-10:30pm
7/8 Sun EL 10-5
7/29 EL Sun 10-5
8/11 EL Sat 10-5
8/23 JS Thu 6-10:30pm
9/15 EL Sat 10-5

If you see a way to improve on this schedule I would welcome the input.
Please forward this to anyone with an interest in MIMRA. I do not have email addresses for John Brier, or "fast Frank".

Thanks,
Ron

Who in MIMRA do you think comes to this board? Besides you Teddy and I, There are very few that come here. Frank, Sean and John, now and then but not often enough you should worry when they don't. With Teddy doing STT no one is really pimping it Ron was nice enough to talk with the track owners and get us some dates but if people don't show up(and the weather has not helped that) the future could be iffy at best.

Feel free to talk any and all of your friends into coming out.

Come out and play and bring friends! Did Dave ever fix his bike?

Actually, I'm on here quite a bit, just didn't want to comment on mimra going downhill since that kinda happened last year when everybody decided to stop showing up to events. unfortunately it was a bad year financially for a lot of us. I'm so happy Ron stepped up this year and is keeping it going, hopefully most of the events will be attended by more than nick, John, frank and myself. It should be a pretty awesome season!

The first one at EL(Rained a bit) was just me, Ron and the new young man Jalil. You have to see this little guy in his Gear. Looks like a champ already and has a very nice young man. All be it a bit shy.

Seriously guys the more people that show up the bigger chance this will keep on happening. If its not worth the track owners time then they will not open the gates for us.

Count me in and a couple of other Chicago guys for some of those dates.

e h donahey don't know if you remember me but I am the one guy who knows Eddie and JB and raced with you guys during the winter a couple of years ago at kart 2 kart on the crf 50's. I am also on the WERA board.

yeah weather has been terrible!! dave has NOT fixed his bike yet and i yell at him daily. also i rode the RZ350 :D WAY cooler than those old rd's. and my bike has been race prepped since day 1. i put huge effort into getting it ready for racing this year, but weather has just been SHIT. i have a hard time committing a 4 hour round trip drive, in 30 degree weather (40's at best) with over a 60% chance of rain. lets pray to the weather gods to help us out for the 12 at ELKT....i love that track and i have the whole weekend off!!

i have been on alf, david, jeff (nsr50), and a few others BEGGING them to come, and everyone gives me a SUPER lame excuse, like oh i gotta put water in my dogs dish, sorry i can't make it. even when i say i'll drive, people can ride my shit, and all they have to do is pay the WHOPPING $20 to get in.....i must just be a better friend than i thought....
