Hello again folks. Day two of the NATC meeting. Yesterday we went through the possible rules change and the schedule for next year. Nothing is publishable right now but there is nothing ground breaking when it comes to rules. As far as the schedule there will be two east coast and two west as usual. There will be three youth national regional events as well. When I am able to publish officially I will. One of the east coast will be at a new property none of us has ridden on. The east coast events will be less than a days drive for all of us in Michigan, Indiana or Ontario.
Notable is that MOTA had 15 individual riders making us the second out of the national series!!! Awesome work!
For those that ride a national please make sure you fill out a survey. Talk to you all soon!
Biff out for now!
If you have questions please feel free to contact a club or member near you or find us on Facebook @ MOTA
