Happy Thursday, AKA 1 day before the May event weekend!
We still have garage stalls available for this weekend. If you would like to reserve one, please do so on the CRA store. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks and see you at the track!

Updated garage assignments (5/11/17): CRA Garage Stalls- 2017
Heads-up everyone! (You’ll get the pun in a minute)
There are TWO issues to read about below:
Section 5 – Rider Equipment
All competitors are required to wear the following equipment while riding in practice or competition:
Undamaged full-face helmet with face shield and bearing a stamp of approval from one of the following international standards:
Snell M2005, M2010 or M2015(USA)
BS. 6658 TYPE. A (GREAT – BRITAIN)
ECE 22 – 04 & ECE 22 – 05 “P” (EUROPE)
JIS 8133:2000 / JIS 8133:2007 (JAPAN)
All these listed standards will remain valid as long as the rider can prove a date of manufacturer within the last 5 years.
Snell 2005 certification has expired. It is possible to have a Snell 2005 certified helmet that is 4 years old, and we don’t expect that these helmets are any less protective than before the certification and grace period expired.
The CRA will be removing the Snell 2005 certification from the rulebook at the end of the 2017 season.
Please check your helmets to ensure they meet all current requirements, and plan to replace helmets that don’t meet any other accepted certification requirements than Snell 2005 before the start of the 2018 season.
CRA full RV/Camper Service Give Away!
The CRA has contracted with BIR to have a certain number of full service RV spots this year. This means electric, water and sewer hook-up for RVs and campers. As such, we want to give everyone in the club an opportunity throughout the season to take advantage of a full service hook-up for a race weekend as our thank you for being an important part of what makes CRA such a great family to belong to!
We’d like to take names (submit to Jon, president@cra-mn.com) from those interested and hold a lottery to give away two spots open for each of our race weekends, Thursday night – Sunday. Workers and Racers alike are eligible for this lottery. While we realize this would likely require a racer to have separate pit/camping spot, we think it would be worth it for you!
The two spots open this year are A-39 and A-41. These are located behind the main grandstand by the blue bathrooms. A map showing where they are can be found here: http://brainerdraceway.com/…/uplo…/2013/02/VIP-Campsites.jpg
We do of course realize that not everyone has an RV or camper but we’d like to ask from those who do not, to please let those who do sign up for this. If you need a plug-in to charge electronics, etc., chances are likely that they’d share!
Thanks for making the CRA the great organization it is!

Hello Awesome volunteers and workers! I am working on posting what I believe to be the latest most accurate points levels for you. I am hoping to coordinate with IT to get a permanent spot under the volunteer tab.
Please watch for posts on the current points status soon!
Any worker points questions can be addressed to the worker liaison email at cra-mn.com
Brett D.
Worker Liaison
Please find our updated rulebook for 2017!
We have it located in our forms and documents page on the website
We are excited to get into the season!
The 2017 CRA New Rider Seminar will be held Sunday, March 26th at MotoPrimo Lakeville from 11:00am to 4:00pm.
MOTOPRIMO LAKEVILLE SUPERSTORE
16640 Kenrick Avenue Lakeville MN 55044
Phone: 952.465.0500 Fax: 952.465.0549
A map is available through this link.
http://www.motoprimo.net/map.htm
New Riders will have the option of paying the full $200 (includes tax) fee that covers the following ~ NR School, 2017 License, Friday practice, Transponder Rental (on your New Rider weekend) and the New Rider Race and Membership for that season, or paying $25 (includes tax) which only covers the classroom portion presented in March at the New Rider Class at MotoPrimo. (For those only paying for the classroom portion, the remainder of the fee would be payable at the track on your New Rider weekend.)
Anyone who completed the classroom portion last year (March 2016) but did not do the on track portion will need to contact Brian Mattson – Membership Director to find out the details as to what fees are or are not applied to the 2017 New Rider classroom program.
You may come early to fill out, and turn in necessary membership forms on that day. While there is no need to preregister for this – it is highly recommended to do so. Please note that you can not preregister for a races until you have met and completed the requirements of the NRS.
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 26th 2017) 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 26th) pricing on merchandise at MotoPrimo is available to all current 2017 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. (Check the 2017 CRA Membership thread in this forum for more information.) 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 me, Brian Mattson, if you have any questions. I will be there on the 26th, so please look for me to process your application whether you applied online, or not.
First call to grid!
Can you believe that it’s 2017 already, and we are literally just a couple months away from our New Riders School session for the 2017 race season? I know I can’t wait for the race season to start!
This post is to let all of you know that we are now accepting membership applications for the 2017 race season! As in previous years you can process your entire application electronically via the CRA Store, or if you prefer you may process it via US Mail or even in person at a membership meeting.
First, please take the time to read the membership cover letter for this season found here: 2017 Membership Cover Letter. This gives you some information on how to process your membership application, discusses some changes that were made to the CRA membership application, as well as some upcoming events and things happening this race season.
Second, download the CRA membership application found here: 2017 CRA Membership Form. Please, please, please make sure you are filling this form out completely, and legibly. If we cannot read part or all of your application – it may result in delays processing your application, and as a result you may miss out on important deadlines! Another important item is that you MUST physically, or properly electronically sign if submitting electronically, your membership application.
One final item that I want to point out separately. On the membership application starting this season we are now asking if you would like to “Opt-Out”from receiving the eNewsletter, and eBallots. By opting out this means you will receive a physical hard copy of either the newsletter, the election ballot, or both via US Mail.
As always, should you have any questions in regards to your membership application, or any other membership related questions – please feel free to email me directly.
Brian Mattson – Membership Director
