New Riders will have the option of paying the full $185 fee that covers; NR School, 2012 License, Friday practice, Transponder Rental and the New Rider Race.

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 2011) 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 2012 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.

The CRA would like to extend a huge Thank You to MotoPrimo and their staff for hosting the Seminar. This is a great venue.

MotoPrimo is again 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. 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. For updates, please refer to this thread on MNSBR: http://www.mnsportbikeriders.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63197&pid=931119&st=0&#entry931119

The rule change proposals that were a result of the two Rules Forums in November will be presented to the Board of Directors on Tuesday, December 6 at the Richfield VFW off of 66th Street. Below, you will find the proposals that the Board will be voting on during the Board meeting portion of the evening.

The membership meeting begins at 7:00 and this is the portion of the meeting for any of you that wish to give input for, or against, the proposed rules will have your chance to do so. Keep in mind that this portion of the meeting will not be a debate; the Board is looking for input from both sides of every proposal to be able to gather as much information as possible prior to voting. It is highly suggested that you bring any data available as backup that can be given to the Board for your opinion.

If you have any questions on this process please email CRA Vice President, Kris Skellenger, at vp@cra-mn.com.
