Remedies Bar packs a punch in 2008
December 31, 2007
The information pack for the 2008 Remedies Bar Motocross series has been sent out to all riders who registered last season and to all those who have requested them. The 2008 season will see some major changes in the organisation of events with the introduction of electronic timing and a new system for marshalling.
Taking the lead from the major Nationals, “Remedies Bar” moves into the 21st Century by introducing electronic timing for the 2008 season. Due to the initial outlay to riders and organisers alike, the decision wasn’t taken lightly but there will be measurable benefits to the sport for the future. The transponder has its own unique number meaning it can be used at any event using electronic timing. Any rider who already owns a transponder will be able to use this in the “Remedies Bar” series. There is more information about this, including an order form for transponders, included in the information pack if anyone would like to order their transponder through the organising Committee.
Several of the “Remedies Bar” meetings last year were dogged by the lack of volunteers willing to Marshal and the organisers have come up with the idea to form a database of persons willing to Marshal. We have decided to reimburse each Marshal with their expenses at the end of the racing at a rate of £20 for half a day and £40 for the whole days racing. If you are interested in being included on the database then give Greta Edwards a ring.
Building on the success of last years initiative, the Over 35 Championship is set to be extremely popular in the coming season and we anticipate greater rider support for 2008. “Remedies Bar” will be running three groups of Juniors for 2008. The Junior practice will be extended to include qualifying with the fasted forty going into A, the next forty into B and the remainder into C group. This will be a lot fairer and easier to manage as the lap times will recorded by the new electronic timing system. There will be then be 3 races for each group.
The “Remedies Bar” website is currently undergoing an overhaul and the new look “Remedies Bar” motocross championship information pages will be up and running before the season starts. Besides all the usual features, there will be downloaded pages for information and entry forms and an up to date news page.
The new website - http://www.remedies-motocross.com will be live in January.
Entry forms for every event will be posted to every registered rider, and will be available to download from the website the following week.
Dates for the 2008 season have been confirmed as: March 2nd; March 16th; March 30th; April 20th; April 27th; May 11th; May 25th; June 8th; June 15th; July 6th; July 13th; August 3rd; August 10th; August 24th; September 7th; September 14th; October 4th (Sat).
The dinner and presentation will be on the evening of the final round at the Ladram Bay Holiday Park.
