Membership Update
-
As
02/02/2010 Midwest Off-Road Racing has 77 paid
memberships. It is a great start, but MORR needs
the support of all the Midwest Sportsman racers for our
group to be successful.
-
Membership money is designed to pay the overhead
-
costs
to keep the group running.
-
-
The
initial membership drive was enough to cover MORR’s
attorney fees, and loans associated with the start-up
costs of the group.
-
-
Remember to be eligible for any and all contingency awards
and additional payouts that came from MORR’s efforts, the
driver of record must be:
-
·
A paid
member of MORR before that entry’s first race of the 2010
season.
-
·
The
yellow MORR decal must be displayed prominently on both
sides of the race vehicle before the start of the
entrant’s first race of the year.
-
·
All
paper work, including contingency form, must be properly
filled out and turned into MORR before the entrant’s first
race of the year.

Race
Updates
-
After
listening to comments made on a couple of off-road forums,
as well as calls, and emails made to the MORR Board, the
MORR group understood that the majority of the Sportsman
racers did not want to go to the two moto per day race
format.
-
-
MORR
president Dan Vanden Heuvel brought this to the attention
of TORC officials Terry Severson and Ricky Johnson, and
everyone agreed to keep the racing program the same as it
was in the past, one race each day during the two day
weekend. MORR went to bat for the Sportsman racer, and
TORC agreed.
-
The
power of communication.
-
-
(The
dual moto concept was brought up to increase track time
without increasing the entry fee for the racers. MORR is
still working on that point. Stay tuned for future
developments.)
-
-
Event
Updates
-
The
Antigo race promoter has offered all MORR racers no gate
fee for the Driver of Record and one crew member. That’s a
$60 savings per team. When 100 racers come to compete at
the Langlade County Fairgrounds, thanks to MORR’s
negotiations, $6000 will be saved by all the racers.

Race
Support
-
Currently almost $220,000 in contingency offerings
have been submitted to MORR for the Sportsman racer in the
Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL.
-
-
One of the coolest offers is from
Canidae All Natural Pet Food.
The company is awarding first and second place finishers,
cash, just for displaying their decal on both sides your
race vehicle. Third place also receives a free bag of dog
food. If all the podium finishers for the season are paid
MORR members, nearly $20,000 in cash and product
is guaranteed to be given out.
