Quad moto added!! We'll see you there. One moto or an A and B start?
True Beginner's & Sportsman class also added. We'll put you with a moto. Not sure which one yet. You will get a spot!
The more riders the better, we want to get everyone a good spot to warmup for the year.
Thank you for the requests, we want every rider to have a great day. Weather is looking pretty good so far, keep your fingers crossed...

An A/B would be great although if the turnout is only 6 or so a single moto would be fine. Currently I have 6 definite with another 4 or 5 possible. Again...thanks for your help.

No open class for the spring tune up. Track prep and daylight are a limiter to the race day.

Sign up at 8am is rather early, especially seeing as the schedule is a shortened format.One would think 10am would be plenty sufficient.

Hey smacktalk -
The Spring tune up is a fun race, we will allow signups until the first gate drop. We want everyone to get a chance to ride. After the first gate drop, the signup people become the points people, so it will be difficult to get someone signed up after 10am. We will open signs at 7am and keep them going until approximately 10am.
Practice schedule: the practice schedule will be pretty organized for safety reasons, typically we run practice in the same order as the HCMA practice schedule. For example; ATV, pro, intermediate, beginner, women, 80, 60, 50. If you hit Great Falls at 9am, you'll be pushing it to get a big bike class practice... Each practice is scheduled by lap, but notice we have 8 classes to get completed in 2 hours.
The track has not been modified from our HCMA race in June2010. This is intentional. We are raising funds with the Spring Tune Up to make the 2011 track modifications for the 2011 State Race in June. If you raced Great Falls in 2010, you can race the tune up with confidence. All the jump faces have been refaced for safety and the corners dressed up from the winter.
Hope this helps with your travel schedule, we look forward to seeing you at the race!!

How about the weather? Is it possible the race will be cancelled? We are hoping to make it.

Keep your plans to race in Great Falls!! The weather report is not the greatest, but most times, the storms go around Great Falls. We are planning the race as planned in Great Falls.
More updates to come throughout the day tomorrow.
