For immediate Release.

In the last couple of days, we received a letter of resignation from our treasurer Emma.

In the last 2 years Emma has battled some compounding health issues, and despite wishing to complete her term that would have ended in December this year, she felt that the cumulative impact of her health was making it impossible to dedicate the required commitment to the club. Rather than provide a declining level of performance to the club, Emma has stepped down from the role, so that she can focus on her health.

As a Board we thank Emma for stepping into a challenging and important role in our club. In the last 18 months she has brought tangible value to our club, and has been an important part of the finance subcommittee, which has been central to the financial turnaround the club has experienced since the end of 2024, and we wish her the best in her health, and what comes next for her.

The treasurer role is not one that can simply be easily absorbed by other board members between now and when the role is up for renewal at the end of this season.
We were fortunate however, that Kayla May-Ellis offered to step in and cover the role until the end of the season. Due to the critical nature of the role, the board voted to appoint Kayla to serve the remainder of the current term, to ensure continuity of service and payments normally completed by the treasurer.
The role will still go up for a normal full election at the end of this season, at which time any person may be nominated for the role for the new term which goes from January 2027 to December 2028.

Kayla is the wife our our current Vice president, and due to that connection has a good understanding of the requirements of the role. She has also been a class sponsor for the MRA for the past 3 seasons, has spent several days in the race day office assisting our current and previous secretaries and treasurers during race days, and has a good understanding of what a race day will require in the role for the remainder of the season. Professionally Kayla has a decade of high level management experience, running multiple large companies with teams of 50 or more people, and managing finances at an executive level for businesses turning over 8 figures.

There will be a transition period of approximately 14 days as Kayla gains access to everything and gets on boarded, if you are waiting on a response for anything related to the treasurer we ask for your patience as she familiarizes herself with our systems and processes , and works through any backlogs.

We have had some questions around the wildfires, air quality and how that impacts round 3 this weekend at Pueblo Motorsports park.

Round 3 is still going ahead!

If anything changes that we feel impacts our ability to safely hold the event, we will notify our membership, but for now all you need to know is:

ROUND 3 IS STILL ON.
Early bird closes tonight, so get your entries in!

Looking for something to do the weekend before round 2?

Come help out the little people (or big people on the little bikes...). Rocky Mountain Mini Moto has an awesome goal of funding 5 kids all the way to nationals.

Help them out so the kids are nice to us when they start beating everyone on the big tracks in a few years.

Attention Riders, friends, and family! We have five racers that we're trying to get to Nationals this year! Come to the Derby Grille in Berthoud on Sunday May 31st to win some fabulous prizes! If you'd like, bring your mini to show off, and bring your gear to show off drills and skills in the section we'll have roped off!

Health Advisory for Recent and Upcoming HPR Events

We've recently been informed that an HPR employee came down with symptoms that may be consistent with the hantavirus strain found in Colorado, the Sin Nombre Virus (SNV). He may have come down with it at HPR while "spring cleaning" but much is still unknown. For example, testing results are not back so the "diagnosis" is unconfirmed at this point. Nonetheless, we thought it important to inform you what is known since we had our Round 1 event on May 9th and 10th and have another MRA event scheduled for August 8th & 9th.

The illness was reported to Arapahoe County Health and they inspected the premises on May 11, noted some mouse droppings, and made recommendations for clean-up. A clean-up company was scheduled to do the work on May 14. Arapahoe Health did not instruct HPR to close or amend its operations. The Sin Nombre hantavirus (SNV) was first found in Colorado in 1993 near the Four Corners area. As is true in all of Colorado, the SNV strain is a low-level threat that is not known to be transmissible by person-to-person contact. Infected deer mice can spread the virus through waste. It becomes airborne and capable of inhalation during "spring cleaning" when sweeping, for example. SNV is one of a number of hantaviruses and differs greatly from the Andes strain we've recently heard about on the cruise ship.

Arapahoe Health has not recorded an SNV infection between 2016 and 2025. Please review the hantavirus fact sheet on the Arapahoe County Health Department website for more Information on how to mitigate risk at arapahoeco.gov under the "communicable disease surveillance/control" section.

If you've been to HPR, you may know the individual and we wish him a speedy recovery!

Virtual class is complete, good vibes. We're all ready to hit the track on Saturday.

NOVICE RACERS - You are still welcome to attend the race school if you think it will be helpful. We can sneak in 1-2 more.

EXPERT/NOVICE RACERS - There are a few slots open still for open lapping, we will open it to the public soon. I'm shocked it didn't sell out this weekend, sign up quick.

EVERYONE - 2026 = best season ever, fun fact.

*and thanks again to Ride On Motorcycle Training for sponsoring the school, that support gives us what we need to make our race schools...HUGE.

In case you missed it, the MRA 4-wheeler was recovered by Pueblo police in August. It was in pretty dire shape, needing new axles and tires (to name a few). We are now in the process of getting it fixed - Apex Sports is taking care of us, but the repair estimate is still almost $2400. The MRA is a 501(c)(7) not-for-profit corporation, so we rely on donations to help cover things like this. Donations to the MRA Safety Fund can be made here: https://www.mra-racing.org/donate
All donations are appreciated!

Announcement: Board decision on Qualifying for all classes in 2026.

The MRA board has engaged in an exhaustive effort to investigate the feasibility of implementing qualifying for all classes in 2026.

After several meetings with multiple stakeholders, including other clubs, software providers, and former MRA Board members with relevant insight and experience, we have determined that implementing qualifying for all classes in 2026 is not viable.

We conducted multiple tests, with lots of trial and error, and we were able to work out most of the software related challenges, but not all of them. After all of our discussions and tests, the biggest concerns that still remained for us included:
• Safety considerations - Switching the practice sessions into qualifying sessions, without an opportunity to warm up first, raised some questions about the safety of leaping right into qualifying first thing in the morning, especially early season when we have lower track temperatures.
• Race day Schedule Impact – this would have been significant, through either dramatically extending the length of the race day, and / or creating an issue where people did not have sufficient time to plan, hydrate, and prepare bikes between morning practice / qualifying sessions, and morning races. The membership has been clear that they do not want to feel rushed between races, but we also cannot simply offset this by racing until late in the evening.
• Process security – while we believe we have worked out the majority of the software issues, a few logistical challenges remain, (such as navigating those with multiple bikes trying to qualify). Without making sure we have resolved all of the small issues, we could leave ourselves open to another embarrassing failure that affects everyone’s race day. If you were there in 2025, you know!
As a Board we took this seriously, and spent considerable time investigating this. To our knowledge, nobody else runs a single day schedule, with qualifying, for 21 classes – it’s a big ask for any club.

The hard work done by the board throughout this investigation has provided us with a lot of insight on what might be possible for future seasons, though in all likelihood that will require a deeper conversation with membership around what changes and sacrifices they might be willing to make to the race day schedule, and available race classes, in order to implement qualifying. These are conversations that can be revisited later this year as we approach the rule change process for 2026.
It is always our goal to deliver on what our membership asks for, however we want to ensure that we do not sacrifice the overall experience of your race day, by over promising, and under delivering.

We will still have qualifying for Race Of the Rockies, and Amateur Open.

With this decision made, we will move on to the last item we have for you all to vote on, which is the race day schedule. We will provide three options, one option that is the exact same race day schedule as we had in 2025, and two other alternative options.

Information and ballots will be sent to membership on Friday, April 6th. If you do not receive your ballot, please reach out to us and we will ensure you get one. Voting will be open to all members with a current competition membership, and we will also send a ballot to anyone who renews, or purchases a competition membership before voting closes.

As with the round 5 layout vote, we encourage you all to have your say – this is your club, and as a board, we are committed to doing the best we can when it comes to giving you the racing experience you want.

Regards,
2026 MRA Board Of Directors.
