Julie- You should have your race on Saturday the 29th. That way riders could do your race on Sat. and the Helena Grand Prix on Sun. if they wanted. It would give more opportunities to ride before the first HCMA race. Just a thought!

Here are the fees for the upcoming Grand Prix; Beginner, Int., Jr., is $20.00. Expert (payout class) is $35.00. Iron Man (5 races) is $60.00. And best of all there will be no gate fee for this event. The course is drying out and should be great for the 30th.

For those of you who are not familiar with the Grand Prix format let me give you an idea of what to expect. The Grand Prix kind of bridges between MX and XC. Not as intense as MX and not as long and as difficult as XC. We use both single track trail and some easier sections of the MX track. We set up a 4-5 mile course marked by arrows and ribbon. The terrain is mostly natural with some man made areas when we use the MX track. This race is designed to be fun and give the rider lots of seat time without all the do or die jumps of MX and the intense tree and rock crossing of XC. Don't get me wrong we do try and make it a challenge but one that is doable and fun for everyone. The start is dead engine and the moto will last between 30 and 45 minutes depending on the class you are in. You will be given a parade lap before each moto so you can get an idea of the course. Registration is open most of the day so you don't have to show up until an hour before your moto. Also you can sign up for another class anytime you want providing a class is available. We don't have a 50cc class but you can contact me and we can discuss allowing a 50 rider in the 65 class. But let me warn you that the rider would need to be an expert 50 rider. Bottom line is it just isn't the type of race for 50s. If you want to Iron Man it more power to you but most people will do 1-2 moto's. Bottom line this is a great laid back race where you can get a lot of seat time and have a ton of fun. And really isn't that what its all about anyway!

The problem is that it takes most of the day Saturday to set and mark the course. And because we do cross the MX track and in some cases use the MX track to connect our East and West Grand Prix tracks we cannot close the MX track during the week to set up the course. So Saturday is our set up day. We will offer free camping Saturday for those who want to come early. And because of the Grand Prix format you can choose what races you want to do and maybe get out of the track early. We will be posting a schedule soon.

The LCRA Spring Grand Prix is being rescheduled to March 30th, due to the recent snow fall and pending weather forecast. We want the best track conditions we can get. Looking at the extended forecast for March we should have a nice day to ride on Sunday the 30th. More details to follow.

The Last Chance Riders Association of Helena will be hosting a Spring Grand Prix March 16th. This will be a great opportunity to knock some rust off both your bike and your body. This will be a good tune up for both MX and XC as both seasons will be starting in April. More details will be coming. We will post a flyer with classes and times. We will have a make up date of the 23rd of March should the original date get rained out.
