APP became a member of the MCRA Road Racing Series Board. This committee was established to help promote and manage the wonderful St. Louis area MCRA organization (www.mcraracing.com). In the committee we will be working to continue the racing series, drive larger grids and increase track day participation.
Yesterday was our first official meeting and alot of progress was made. So I felt obligated to write about it.
1) it was decided that we needed an MCRA specific license. What does this mean to local racers. The cost of licensing just got cheaper. if you are only going to run the MCRA series you will see a dramatic cost discount in licensing. Enough so that your first race is basically free. So no excuses.
2) Secondly it was decided that a Try the Track option should be added. This will hopefully allow us a mechanism to help interested riders try out the track experience in a very safe and controlled fashion with minimal entry costs (compared to typical full track day participants). The cost is TBD but it was state that a coupon would be provided to provide you a proportional discount on your next track day. Once again --
NO EXCUSES for not getting on the track and trying it out.
So, if you have any questions on this topic, have an interested in riding with not speed limits, no cops, in a safe environment, with people with the same interests you have it all available with an MCRA Track Day. Please call or write if you need any help. APP is happy to help you get yourself or your bike ready for the upcoming events. The schedule can be seen in the calendar section.
