Sorry for the wait but we have a date for the awards banquet.

Breckenridge Brewery XXX Blake St. Denver

Just like last year...dinner at 6 if you want (your dime)

After the awards are handed out, we will open it up to a club meeting. I will post the agenda soon.

This is everybody's chance to voice your opinion.

If you are not recieving an award, please come anyway and have your say. If you are planning on racing next year, come and introduce yourself, ask questions and just hang out and get to know everyone.

WTF why not?

[tarded400]

Broke my shoulder doing a stoppie saturday. I think its time for me to give the riding a rest, at least until I have a good full time job to pay for my screw us. Gonna part out the drz...

[Bueller]

How bad is it?
Sucks that you messed yourself up.
Sit on it for awhile before you make any rash decisions.

[tarded400]

Haha... rash decisions. But seriously, its my second serious injury in a year and a half. I consider that a sign. The motard is just way too much fun to ride on one wheel.

[Joe]

Sortarican, you're definitely going to hell for those pics, sadly I'll be right there beside you because I laughed, a lot.

Tarded400, I'll definitely be there to represent! Sorry to hear about your wreck. If you do decide to part-out, let me know. I'm definitely interested in 40 extra hp, in case you have it. Maybe if I put a whole 'nother engine in there alongside my own!

[tarded400]

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and part it. Have had several people interested in the forks... not quite sure what to ask for them...

[Bueller]

This is tonight 8)

[krod]

Looks like we will be going to Utah alot in June and July.:shocked:

[Sortarican]

Serious congrat's to all the tards, glad people are keeping that race class going.
(I hope to have one by spring.)

Does RMSM have a website with the season results and such?

[Bueller]

The site is down right now, we are pressuring them to get it back up. There is a forum for Rocky Mountain Supermoto on Super Moto Junkie (http://www.supermotojunkie.com/forumdisplay.php?f=58), The "Points" sticky has the top finishing positions, our site http://www.hsr411.com/ has our teams results.
There will be some incentives to come out and race next year, especially for first time racers.
Although no one raced in Sportsman class this year, it will still remain for next year. It is an entry level class where you ride a MX/Enduro with the stock wheels, just put on some DOT dual sport tires and some minor race prep and come out and race. If you have a bike that comes street legal with 17" wheels and oversize brake (e.g. DRZ 400SM) you are sportsman legal.

[FZRguy]

Sorry that I missed this...I'm lame in checking the site. If I can scrap up the dough for wheels, I'll race next season. BTW, Speed has been running coverage of AMA SuMo on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. I caught the Texas race today where Wardy's tranny broke and left him in 4th gear for 1/3 of the race. He went from 1st to finish 15th.

Hey John, look at Epic's site (http://epicmotosports.com/supermoto.aspx)for some affordable wheels, Warp 9's.
There is also going to be a separate series this year that will be IMI races only. It will not be a points championship series, but is designed to get more riders involved in racing without all the BS. It will be a payback and prize classes. Here is the initial announcement on SMJ with more details to follow.


Epic Motosports has decided in conjunction with local supermoto riders to start a new summer supermoto series. This new supermoto series is being developed to help grow the sport in Colorado.

We plan on doing an all IMI series consisting of 5-6 rounds. Riders in this series will not be racing for a championship, instead they will be racing to win cash at the end of each race. There will also be tickets given to top finishing riders in all classes each race that will be for drawings at the end of the series. We have already locked in a number of sponsors for this series and we plan to keep adding sponsors throughout the winter.

Again, this series is designed to grow the sport. We hope that by having loose tech requirements and prizes not only for winners, will encourage more riders to show up and also encourage new riders to come out and try supermoto.

We want to emphasize that we are not trying to steal anything away from RMS and we support them 100%. We plan on participating in their series and providing trackside support to all supermoto riders.

Keep checking supermoto junkie for updates and if you have any questions let us know.

Will there be any Contingency

Yes, contingencies will probably not happen this year. But, like anything else it needs to grow.

Several sponsors have already been lined up that are 100% on board even though we are not going to be AMA or NASMOTO sanctioned. The idea of our series is to have fun! If word of mouth gets out that we are out there having fun, more and more guys will show up.

We need to just get people out racing or there will be no hopes of contingency and sponsors in the future because there will be no riders.

Will the schedule conflict with Rocky Mountain SuperMoto

We are going to avoid conflicting schedules with RMS to the best of our ability. We want people to be able to race both series so we will do our best.

A few more details.

Here is the run down on the Shootout series.

-Low entry fees
-Fewer classes
-More encouraging to new riders
-Chance for everyone to win something (money, gear, parts, etc.)

We need as many riders as possible to show up at both series to get new riders out there. We plan on marketing towards new riders and we need all of you to show and put on some good racing so we can get them hooked the way we are hooked.

In addition I am going to be the Tech inspector for RMS next season and we are working on relaxing the requirements for bikes to pass tech, we were using AMA rules and that was discouraging some from prepping bikes.

Both series have the goal of attracting new racers. We would like to help anyone interested in trying Supermoto racing to get out the and give it a try, even on stock wheels setups.

[tarded400]

Ack! And I had to go and throw the bike down the pavement.

[Bueller]

Fix it!

[eklew]

Nice going Dave!

[FZRguy]

Yeah, that series sounds perfect. tarded400 PM sent re your wheels.

[motobum]

is there a schedule out yet?

[Bueller]

Probably not until the first of the year, they are going to wait for RMS to release their schedule, which hopefully will happen sooner than later. RMS is supposed to have a preliminary after this weekend.
Ask Kevin about specifics for the shoot out series since it is his baby.
