Northwest Post Vintage GP/Cross Country Series Cancelled

We regret to have to cancel the 2012 Ahrma Northwest Region PV GP/Cross Country Series.

Reasons: At event #1 we had 3 Post Vintage entries.  The club putting on the race at event #2 (Bodnar) does not want to rent an ambulance for the Modern/PV combined race There was only one PV rider who rode event #1 who said he would ride all 3. Since you must ride all 3 events to qualify for series awards, it did not make sense to continue, especially in light of the ambulance issue for Bodnar.

Will you still be able to ride PV bikes at both Bodnar and bushy Ranch? YES; they will be part of the Modern/Support class race in which you can ride anything.

"CLARIFICATION ON THE EARLY SPORTSMAN STOCK CLASS"

"Early Sportsman Stock class (ESS) will be evaluated at the end of 2012. If there is enough participation, then the class will continue. If you like this class, then bring your ESS class bike out and race it. If we do not see more participation in this class, it could go away!!

We regret to have to announce that the AHRMA Stornetta Farms event is cancelled

We thank the Stornetta family for their support in efforts to make this a yearly event which would benefit the surrounding communities in multiple ways, some reaching beyond the event itself, for years to come.

We want to thank also Supervisors Dan Hamburg and Carre Brown for their diligence in trying to make draconian Mendocino County Coastal Development Permit requirements less invasive and more realistic. Despite their involvement, in the end we have a prime example of Mendocino County government overriding any sense of what is reasonable or productive, much less beneficial to the local residents in the long term.

And not to be forgotten; we wish to extend our gratitude for the overwhelming support of those local residents who came out to the 2011 event en masse. Your enthusiasm is perhaps what makes this the most difficult of all. Your drive to see this event continue was a great source of encouragement to us to continue to work against all odds, and the disappointment of failure is felt as a failure to you.

We would encourage you to write to both Supervisors Hamburg and Brown and thank them for their efforts.

We wish to note the unwavering support and help of David and Kelley at Zen House Motorcycle Maintenance in Point Arena, without whom the 2011 event would never have happened. If you have any way of patronizing this business, go out of your way to do so.

All money collected for the Coastal Development Permit fund will be turned over to the Senior Citizen Center. The Stornetta family had chosen this charity to benefit from the 2012 event. Since the event will not take place, we feel there is no reason for the Senior Center to lose the opportunity that now has been taken from them. The event would have raised several thousand dollars for their benefit, but the $800.00 collected and given by dedicated donors toward the CDP will be at least a small contribution.

We still seek a location on the coast on which to have an AHRMA event. Please contact us if you have information which may lead us to finding such a location.
