Attention all racers, volunteers, and members! We have an election to fill two position on the board of directors coming up on Nov 5th. To assure that you are eligible to vote, we need to receive your membership form before Sept 21st. If you do not submit your membership form before Sept 21st you will not receive a ballot for the election.
Membership forms can be found at https://www.cra-mn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2019-CRA-Membership-Form-v.1.2.pdf. Make sure to return them to Membership@CRA-MN.com.
We have a few candidates currently running for the board. If you know of someone within the club that is business minded, innovative, and enthusiastic about driving the future of the club, talk to them and send in your nomination to BOD@CRA-MN.com!
This error was brought to our attention recently and the Board decided to correct the rule book to eliminate any confusion.
The Formula 40 classes have not in the past nor are they currently included in the CRA overall Championship points.
Here is the corrected rule… updated rule book should be posted to the website soon.
Section 15 – Formula 40
1) Experts earn expert points; Novices earn Novice points. Points earned in Formula 40 will only count toward a rider’s overall CRA class points and will not count toward overall CRA points.
Again, this is not a change in procedure as the Formula 40 classes do not and have not counted toward overall CRA points.
If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please reach out to the Board.
Brett D. Pres.
The July new rider school will start at 7am Friday July 19th in the classroom near the 4 way stop between the two paved paddock areas. If you already attended the class in March please report to the classroom at 8:30 am. Of course, if you would like a review of the March classroom you are welcome to come earlier.
We suggest getting to the track early enough on Thursday to get all of your paperwork taken care of and through tech with both your bike and gear. You will only have about an hour and a half between the class and your first session out on track. Do everything you can to prepare ahead of time.
It is important that all involved, both students and instructors be on time so we can stay on schedule. We have a lot of information to cover in a short amount of time. On behalf of Shane and myself, thank you.
Shane Keaveny
CRA Co-Chief NR Instructor
During the June event it was discovered that some verbiage was not clear in the Licensing section. This prompted the board to add some clarity. (new verbiage in bold)
Section 1.4. Applicants, less than 18 years and over 16 years of age must provide a notarized copy of the CRA Minor License Release Form signed by their parent or guardian. Licensing of minors under 16 years of age requires the approval of the Chief Steward. Riders under 16 years of age are prohibited.
The rule book on the website reflects the recent changes.
Respectfully,
the Board of Directors.

On behalf of the CRA, I would like to extend a huge Thank You to MotoPrimo and their staff for hosting the Seminar. This is a great venue.
MotoPrimo is going to put together special one day pricing/discounts like they have in past years for the New Rider Seminar students and CRA membership on that day (March 24th 2019) on merchandise.
Exact numbers can not be made public because of contract agreements with their suppliers and vendor, however in the past the discounts have been significant. Discounts will be on parts, supplies and gear both in stock parts and special order.
The special one day (March 24th) pricing on merchandise at MotoPrimo is available to all current 2019 CRA members. Members only, MotoPrimo is not open to the public for this is a private event for the CRA.
*** Note from Membership – please fill out your paperwork ahead of time to save you time when you get to MotoPrimo. You can take care of your registration on the CRA store. For those that wish to wait until they arrive at Motoprimo – please plan on additional time to fill out your Membership paperwork which must be completed prior to the Seminar. There will NOT be a credit card machine there to accept your payment. All payments must be completed via the CRA store. Please contact Martin Holte, if you have any questions. He will be there on the 24th, so please look for him to process your application whether you applied online, or not.
