Storm damage

Posted: July 13, 2015 by President in Announcements
As some of you may or may not know the heavy storms last night brought with them some high winds which caused some damage to BIR.  The CRA is aware of this and it’s potential implications of our coming race weekend.  Right now we are planning on racing.

This is going to be a day by day scenario, so please stay tuned for updates as we will get any pertinent information out ASAP.

Racers,

Please see the assignments and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks much,

Anna

June 2015 Results for Tire Vendor Contingency

Posted: June 25, 2015 by Contingency in Announcements

Edit – Updated results based on a couple pieces of feedback through MNSBR 6/29 at 12:20 PM.

 

Please have a look at the linked files.  There’s one each for Saturday and Sunday with the Novice and Expert riders colored differently as well as another file for the Formula 40 races and the New Rider Race.  A couple things to note:

  1. PIC is Position in Class.  As several races/classes were held concurrently, have a look not just at the finish order, but the PIC to determine your points and contingency payouts.
  2. Dunlop pays out for Sundays only.  If you think you should have been paid for Dunlop, please make sure its a Sunday race!
  3. Results will be sent in on 6/29/2015

Let us know if we’ve missed something and we’ll get it corrected ASAP.

Thanks!

May 2015 Results for Tire Vendor Contingency

Posted: May 21, 2015 by Contingency in Announcements

Below is a link to the results for the May race event.  We have highlighted the racers in each race who met the criteria for contingency winnings from Bridgestone and Dunlop.  Please have a look at the PDF and let us know if you believe there’s been an error.  The results will be submitted digitally to the manufacturer 5/26 by 5:00 PM.

5/25/2015 8:00 PM – After a couple comments by observant folks on MNSBR, I believe that we have added the couple races we missed.  We will keep an eye on things throughout the day to make sure any last minute changes are accounted for.  The link below is to the updated results.

This evening we will be holding the special election session for the 2014 Board of Directors. There is one spot available – currently held by interim director Stephen Johnson. For those of you whom are members this race season by the date of record you would have received a ballot in the mail in the last couple weeks. If you did NOT mail the ballot back to us you are still able to cast your vote at the CRA Membership Meeting this evening, 5.5.15, at the Richfield VFW off 66th St and Lyndale Ave in Richfield.

 

For those of you whom are not members, why not join? Membership gets you up-to-date information delivered to your inbox (or mailbox) via the CRA newsletter, and most importantly gives you voting rights during our Board of Directors elections. (Normally held in October.)
