Except I,m still kind of torn on the whole 4-wheeler issue, And I would love to do a mass start and a smoke bomb, and I,d really love to be able to go south of the amrad. I think vintage classes would be cool. Ride Hard or Ride Home!!! | ||

When we used to do smoke bombs we would line everybody up @ one time all side by side and light asmoke bomb shoot off gun and everybody would go cross country for the first 5 miles or so to the smoke and then funnel into a trail. Now we just start by class and spread everybody out a little bit. We will probly run quads,not sure yet. If we do they dont start untill all the bikes are completly finished. I dont have a N.M.D.R.C. schedule but we do have a link to there website on our links @ the top of our page, and they have more info on the dessert series. Ride Hard or Ride Home!!! | ||

I do not like mass starts- the decreased visibility, crowding, and mixing riders of widely divergent skill levels seriously elevates the danger of personal injury. Maybe its just me, but I enjoy racing the track and dislike being run over. jim cole | ||

It means alot to us, and we'll try to keep putting on the best, funnest events we can. Aaron Ride Hard or Ride Home!!! | ||

I think you all have done a great job the last few years I have been there and I would like to see the experts race a real race and go at least 150 miles. Longer laps would be nice but short laps (50) miles are ok and the racers get faster each lap as they remember the course. It makes for some great riding. Is 200 miles out of the question some year? Lets make this a real "Desert" race for the Experts who might enjoy a longer race. Thanks , Jim H. | ||

Entry fees are $30 for Mini short coarse. $60 for pro classes, and $50 for all others. Add $20 for late entrys. You will need a transponder to be scored they are $20 and you will get $15 back after the race when you return it. We also have a pre ride-poker run on saturday, it is $10 to ride and prizes will be handed out to high and low hands. Ride Hard or Ride Home!!! | ||
