With the tremendous support from the advertisers, the input from the members, and the pictures from the photographers, we had the means to create an outstanding program. I would especially like to thank Ricky Orlando for his countless hours of help and Jim Browning for the outstanding photos, and most of all , my wife Connie for tending to our son , proofreading, and taking care of everything else in my life while I worked on this MRA season program.

Place Your Ad HERE Jim Wilson President Greetings MRA members and fans! If you’re reading this you already know about one of the big things happening in 2015! After a short vacation the season program has returned to the MRA, and it’s a good thing too because we have a lot going on. Aaron Fisk Vice President Carl Sorensen VP of Rules & Tech Chris Sorensen Track Marshal Louden David Rider Representative Joe Logalbo Rider Representative 6 Jen Grosse Secretary Rachael Zell Treasurer Jeff Brown New Rider Director Shannon Moham Rider Representative In this letter, last year, I discussed how we were poised to break attendance records in 2014 following an extremely strong 2013. I’m happy to report that it happened! 2014 marked one of the best years in MRA history and we’re still accelerating. Our social media efforts continue to be highly successful, we’re rolling out an awesome new website, and our amazing sponsors continue to support us year after year. In return the MRA delivers tremendous value to those businesses by providing tickets to our events, passes to race the superstreet classes for their customers, and visibility on the MRA E-Displays which are in shops across the State. Please acknowledge this support by visiting the shops that sponsor our classes and advertise with us. HERE! Or Even HERE To find out how to advertise in the 2014 MRA Season Program Call: Racing Publications Company 303-254-9997 [email protected] 2015 will be a year of changes and beginnings as well. Our weekends have always started with an invocation and in 2015, after decades of service, Chaplain Paul “Boots” Reimer will not be presiding over that blessing at each round. Each race has a structured start as well and, again, the person who has presided over that start for decades, Bob Heaton, will be absent from our grid in 2015. I know I speak for the club and community as a whole when I say “thank you” to Boots and Bob for their years of service. Beginnings are exciting, and in 2015 a new national motorcycle racing series, Motoamerica, is on the verge of taking off. With a clear rules package that aligns with other national series’, feeder classes, and people who understand motorcycle competition at the helm, the series has tremendous potential. You can catch these races on your TV, computer, or even better yet, in person. With the tremendous talent in the MRA don’t be surprised when you see your favorite MRA racers competing at Motoamerica events representing our club on the national stage. With all of this momentum 2015 is sure to be a season of great starts and solid performances. I’ll see you on the grid!

The Sportsman of the Year award is given to a racer that continually demonstrates that they are a Sportsman, as well as one who puts forth a tremendous effort to help the club and their fellow racers. While in the past the recipient of this award was chosen by the previous years Sportsman, starting in 2004 the recipient is chosen by the MRA board of directors. The MRA would like to thank Fay Myers for providing the Sportsman of the Year trophy.

In 1998, the board of directors decided to create an award that recognized the "first season, true novice racer" who had the greatest improvement in skill and speed over the course of the year. This isn't necessarily the racer who always wins, or spends the most money. Rather it is the one who truly commits themselves to learning the craft of motorcycle roadracing and, as a result, improves their skill by leaps and bounds in their rookie season.

Don won the Heavyweight Supersport class championship in 2000 despite his on-track demise; ask Mike Applehans about that story. This award lets the racing world know Don lived his life to its fullest by doing what he loved, and that the family harbors no ill feelings for the sport. The Bruners have been around motorcycles for decades and proudly own and boast the family run Apex Motorsports in Colorado Springs. The award is presented to the Heavyweight Supersport class champion and the second to last race of each season is dedicated to Don’s memory.

Bob Heaton was the club’s starter for more than 20 years, enduring weather of all types, a changing leadership, and a variable staff. Bob never missed a day of service and additionally he served as our official club meteorologist. He kept our race weekends on track despite the crazy mixture of weather that Colorado can produce. This award honors his service and dedication; values that live on as demonstrated by each recipient.

If you have watched motorcycle roadracing, you have probably seen Corner Marshals. They are the people dressed in white, stationed around the track, closely observing the race. Most of the time Corner Marshals are free to watch the racing action. But when a rider crashes, they spring into action. The flagger displays warning flags, informing racers of any hazard. Other crew members assist the downed rider(s) and clear the track. The captain coordinates the crew and keeps race control and medical personnel informed via radio. When the track is cleared, the crew returns to their station and resumes watching the action until they are needed again. No prior experience is necessary; training will be provided. Attendance at every event is not required. safety gear.
