Congratulations to Dylan Debel for being named to the 2005 ISDE Team. The 80th International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) is scheduled for September 6 - 19, 2005 in Povazska-Bystrica, Slovak Republic. The ISDE, often called "The Olympics of Motorcycling," gathers the world's best off-road riders to challenge some of the world's most difficult terrain.

This is Dylan's 2nd trip to the ISDE. Good luck Dylan and bring back a Gold Medal.

Woods Events Schedule Changes
The 7/23-7/24 Akeley Hare Scrambles is canceled due primarily to the very wet condition of the trails.
The Dual Sport event for 7/23 is also canceled, but will be rescheduled to 8/27.
The Enduro scheduled for 8/27 & 8/28 is still a go. Tentative plan is a different start location and a shorter mileage event.
If you are riding in the Akeley woods, be sure to tread lightly on the low spots.

The August 27 Akeley Quad Hare Scrambles has been cancelled. To replace it, there will be a race on Aug 13th near Grand Rapids. This is the monkeybutt race that used to be just a fun event. This race will score D-23 points. Directions and more information to follow.

District 23 Motocross Sound Enforcement
This notice is to clarify the motocross sound limit rule and the role of District 23.

The first misconception to clear up is that this is a new district rule. The 99dbA sound limit is actually an existing AMA rule that has been in affect for years. Promoters are facing nationwide scrutiny in regards to sound levels at events, along with the county and /or township issues that we are facing here in Minnesota in regards to private practice tracks. To help facilitate the transition to responsible sound levels and rule compliance, the district will be taking the following measures:
1. Ensure consistency of testing – Another misconception is that there are several different testing procedures, each of which will yield different results. Actually, one standardized procedure is to be used for all AMA sound testing. This procedure is known as SAE J1287 July 1998, Measurement of Exhaust Sound Levels of Stationary Motorcycles; the same procedure that law enforcement uses. The district has sent Tom Umphress to be trained from the people who wrote the standard. He will then hold training sessions for promoters and their workers. The district is encouraging each promoter to send at least two people to a training session.

2. Give opportunities for people to be tested – The main goal of the district this year regarding sound is to educate people about sound levels by allowing them to find out what level their machine is at and how that compares to the 99dbA standard. To that end, the district has purchased two additional meters that will be used for voluntary testing at motocross events, primarily practice days. In addition, some of the promoters will purchase meters to ensure that they can always offer this service.

The matter of enforcement of the rule in 2005 is a little less clear-cut. The 99dbA rule is, and has been, an AMA equipment rule as well as a Minnesota public land use law. It is therefore something that can be the basis of a protest. While the district cannot stop someone from lodging a protest of this nature, it is hoped that this will not trigger a flood of such protests. The AMA, recognizing that this could be a problem, has stated that on this particular rule, if Rider 1 (or someone on his or her behalf) protests Rider 2 for sound, then the vehicles for both Rider 1 and Rider 2 will be tested. At this time, the plan is that the referees will enforce the AMA sound limit much more strictly at D 23 events in 2006.

bulletA benefit is being held for the family of Keith Andrews.  More information follows from Krista McCormick:
"I am contacting you in hopes that you can help me. I was a close friend of Keith Andrews who was killed in a hit and run dirt biking accident this past July. He and his family lived in Zimmerman, MN. He left behind a wife and two children ages 11 and 2. Keith was self-employed in the construction trade and had no insurance. In an effort to help the family cover funeral costs and other needs, we will be hosting a benefit in his name. It will be held Sunday November 7, 2004 @ Blainebrook Entertainment Center in Blaine, MN from 2-8 pm. Our mission right now is to contact as many people as possible about this function. Keith had a passion for riding dirt bike and shared that passion with many friends, some of those are members of your organization. I contacted Sheri Atkinson late last week and she said that she had heard of this accident and has seen the reward fliers that we've circulated in hopes of receiving information regarding the other rider involved. To date, he has not been found nor have we gotten any leads as to who he might be. I was told that you might be able to assist us with getting the word out about the benefit by posting the reward flier, the benefit flier and anything else that you might think would help. I would like to forward this information to you. I believe we have both fliers available to be sent by email. Would you please contact me at your earliest convenience? I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can give to this matter.

Sincerely,

To reach the ranch: From Akeley go west 1 mi to 291 st Ave. It’s the 1st road after Cty 25. Turn right (North). The ranch is at the end of the road, about 1.5 miles.

The Trail Boss is Dylan DeBel.

Times for events are:

Registration 8:00 am to 7:00 pm Saturday, 7:00 am to 11:00 am Sunday

The course is approximately 8.75 mi long with about 1.7 miles of grass track mixed with single track and Akeley trails. There is a .75 mi section for A/B MC riders only.

The last rally car will have left by 11:00 PM and you will be able to set up in the field normally used for camping.

There will be a $5:00 gate fee per vehicle for the Hare Scramble.

We will greatly appreciate any help the week-end of the event. Please contact one of the following persons for if you wish to work:

bulletATTENTION ENDURO RIDERS:  The MI National Enduro will pay District 23 points. This change came about due to the MI club aligning the event classes with the MN classes. There will be a State or Regional AA class started so MN AA riders will need to be sure they enter this class if they want to receive D 23 AA points. If they opt to ride in the A class they will not receive any MN points. All other riders will receive the points that coincide with their finish in the event. A fifth place finish at the event will get 5th place points irregardless of who finished in front of you. If you pre entered the event be sure you are entered in the class you intend to ride in after these changes. It is supposed to be an awesome event maybe even the best National of the year so good luck to all of you that race this one bring home all the gold.

The Huntersville Enduro will be happening again this year. As most of you know it gets tougher every year to put on an enduro. This event is no different, we have been dealing with issues from the DNR, potlatch, the county, and the township. Because of these issues the mini event has been moved to a remote location. You will need to trailer your bikes to the start of the event. There will be absolutely no riding to the start or back. The start is about four miles out and will be arrowed from the pasture. The Enduro on Sunday will only be about 50- 54 miles long. The lack of mileage is due to land issues. The entire race will be on the west side of the river. Although the race is shorter there will be some more difficult sections. Unlike in years past the main gas will not be at the horse pasture. One gas stop should be all that is needed, as each half is about 26 miles long. We will be providing a gas trailer to the main gas. After the event trophies will be presented at the bar. For more info contact Kraig Hinkemeyer at 763-682-1778
