7/19/2005 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.

5/1/2005 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. |
Requirements: AMA membership (available at event) and D23 membership (available at event).

Message from Wayne, Peggy, and Cody
Thomsen:
"We wanted to let you know that our county has
scheduled a meeting to decide what the proper use of your own private
property is. I don't know if you have heard of all of the problems we
had this past year with our own property, but we think it is imperative
that as many individuals show up to voice their opinions and most of all
fight for their property rights. The meeting is schedule in Brainerd
Minnesota at 7:00pm at the Elks Club. It is being held by the Crow Wing
county Planning and Zoning Dept.
Thank you for your attention to this.

Attention District 23 banquet attendees:
Sheri Atkinson and Joan Oellien received a phone call from the St Joseph
police department on December 9th 2004 in regards to a STOLEN 5X12
RUNNER FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE. The rug has the lighthouse logo on it. We
have enjoyed putting on the banquet for the past 3 years but do not
appreciate our own members stealing from the facilities we have them at.
We are asking that the rug be returned to either Sheri or Joan with no
questions asked. Please get this returned as soon as possible as we will
not book a banquet for 2004 until it is returned. The 2004 banquet has
to be booked by Jan. to assure availability. It would be really sad not
to have a banquet in 2004.

"Due to an accident at Huntersville, the final results for the micro and

out also. It was a great season, hope everyone enjoyed it. I do
apologize for the timeliness of results this year, for those of you that
know me personally, thank you for understanding, for those of you that
do not, thank you for your patience.
Good luck to all of you next season!!!"

Attention Harescramble riders:
The Mazeppa Harescramble is on!
More informatino from The Golden Eagles:
"The 2003 Mazeppa Hurricane Hills Hare Scramble is on! After some
questions and concerns with the county, the planning commission has
recommended approval for the race and the Golden Eagles are moving
forward. So forget the rumors of cancellation and put Oct.18th & 19th on
your calendar to attend last years Hare Scramble of the year.
The course is getting improvements and some re-routes, to make this
years course more rideable and fun than last year. Permission has been
received from a local land owner to use some new sections of woods
allowing some reroutes of a couple sensitive areas, and repairs have
been made to trails used in previous years. So don't miss this last race
on the 2003 schedule, it will be fun. MXer's come and give Hare
Scrambles a try, you'll have a great time.
Camping will not be available at Hurricane Hills this year, but there is
plenty of camping available within about 10 miles of the track. So bring
your friends and family because there are a lot of good spectator
viewing spots in the woods and the MX track area, within a short walking
distance.
Check and stay tuned to the Golden Eagles web site at
http://www.goldeneaglesmc.org/ , for all the latest information and
updates."
