The highly anticipated 2011 MRA season opens at High Plains Raceway on May 7-8th! Seven-time Race of the Rockies champion Dan “Otis” Turner returns to defend his #1 plate against a deep field of 190hp superbikes piloted by the top riders in the region. Don’t miss Josh Galster, winner of 5 class championships last season, as he hopes to repeat again in 2011 onboard a new R6. And Clubman overall points champion, Shannon Moham, will once again set out this season to be the MRA’s “iron-man”.

Don’t miss the three new classes added to the MRA schedule starting this season: Formula 40 for riders over the age of 40, Thunderbike which includes Ducati 848’s, Triumph 675’s and a variety of other bikes, and the Production 250 class which includes Ninja 250’s and CBR250’s.

The hugely successful Super Street class returns for its second season on Saturday.

We couldnt have asked for better weather for the MRA's opening round of the 2011 season at High Plains Raceway; 80's and sun all weekend!

Stop by your local motorcycle dealer or shop for a 2 for 1 gate pass and come out and join us this weekend!

I will leave a pair of tickets @ the front gate for Sunday's race.
Since I cant race this weekend so am giving a pair of tickets for free.
Just post here first and when I drop them off today I will write on the envelope who they are for. Come out and watch the races for free. Just ask for the Bashedbike envelope.
Later,
Bash

Anyone get photos or video from the super street race? I was only able to get out yesterday for a couple hours and missed this race. Just curious how it went.

There was no SS race. We had a bad crash on the practice laps and ran out of time. see here... http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/showthread.php?t=39585

They had to cancel the SS race so they could get in the rest of the points races done..
