Or paying $20 which only covers the classroom portion presented in March at the New Rider Class at MotoPrimo.
Anyone who completed the classroom portion last year (March 2012) but did not do the on track portion will need to contact Anna at membership@cra-mn.com to find out the details as to what fees are or are not applied to the 2013 New Rider classroom program.
You can come early to register and fill out and turn in necessary forms on that day. No need to preregister for this.
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.
I have been in contact with MotoPrimo and have been told they are again as in past years putting together special one day pricing/discounts on merchandise for that day. More details as to what merchandise products, brand names, ect. will be coming soon. As soon as I know I will pass along the info. 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.
Check the post on MNSBR often as it will be updated as the date near, and post up questions if you have them.

As you may be aware, our good friend Jim Wiles of On Track for Him, the Dunlop tire vendor, racer and coach suffered from a serious health-related issue while attending a track day at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama.
