racing for the Midwest Sportsman Off Road Racer by uniting racers with
a common voice. Maintaining affiliations with approved sanctioning
bodies will allow the competitor and the enthusiast to enjoy off road

Midwest Off Road Racing Gets Together in Abrams!
Abrams, WI (January 18, 2010) - The first public meeting of the
Midwest Off Road Racing (MORR) group was held this past Sunday in
Abrams, Wisconsin. The past three months saw a group of concerned
off-road enthusiasts’ band together to improve the “State of
Sportsman Off-Road Racing” in the Upper Midwest. In the past six
years, the stability of the sport has been considerably shaken due
to four different sanctioning bodies/series promoters attempting
to guide short-course off-road racing. MORR was created to give
the Sportsman racer a voice in their future and by the looks of
their early accomplishments, the current sanctioning body, Traxxas
TORC Series presented by AMSOIL, is definitely listening.
The
meeting at Kip and Donna’s Fly Way in Abrams, Wisconsin quickly
filled the main banquet room. A quick count of heads totaled over
220 concerned racers, team members, and sponsors. The seven board
members headed by President Dan Vanden Heuvel Sr., explained how
the group came together and thanks to the group’s website and the
Ross Hoek forum, several key issues were targeted for change to
improve Midwest Sportsman racing.
All board members talked about the various improvements that were
made during continuous talks with TORC and USAC. The combination
of flyers and a PowerPoint presentation kept the entire room
thoroughly interested in the 2-hour meeting. Terry Severson, TORC
SportsmanTech Director, came up to the front and also announced
some of changes TORC has implemented for the 2010 season. -
