After a nice vacation on a tropical island Im now back to business in the frozen midwest tundra.
Okay, I spoke with the promoter, Josh McFadden on the phone yesterday, and they are enthusiastic about another OTC performance again this year! There will be a 3 wheeler class on Sat. There will only be one class due to number of racers, probably about 8 or 9. Also, unlike other classes, if we have too many for gate, they will simply line up a second row behind the first rather than eliminate people in heat races from the main event in evening. He said ours was the only class he could do that because we are all such good sports and are racing to have fun. For classifications in rules, practice, etc., we are considered a quad class.
Required equipment (at about all races)Tether kill switch, helmet, boots covering ankle, long sleeves, long pants, eye protection (goggles, glasses,etc.)
Good news, CRA membership requirement is waived for 3 wheeler class! This is only for the Saturday 3 wheeler class. If you wish to race on Fri or Sun, or in any other class (which you can do if you meet class criteria) you will still need CRA membership. Also, if you plan to race other CRA events later in the year, it may be worthwhile. I will get it for us, because we run Faircross, and also to get the CRA magazine sent to us, but if Indoors is the only CRA race youll be doing, you can save $20 per rider on membership just like they did at Lightning.

Go to http://www.racecra.org in the Publications and Forms section for a Pre-Entry Form This will save you $10 per class you sign up for. You have to print it out, and mail it in. Youll notice there is no "3 wheeler class" on the form. You will need to write it in. DO NOT USE the online registration. It will not work because our class is not listed. There is also more information here http://www.summitindoormx.com including some indooor flatrack in Jan and Feb.
Again, Summit Indoors is in Summit Co. Fairgrounds, in Tallmadge, OH on the corner of SR91 and Howe Rd., just a few miles north of I-76. From I-76 take SR91 north, cross Howe Rd, and enter Fairgrounds on the right and follow signs. For Mapquest, just enter directions for Tallmadge, OH. Its tiny.
Admission is $10.00 for everyone. Parking is $1.00. Race pre-Entry is $25.00, or post entry is $35.00. CRA membership, if needed, is $20.00.
You can camp there in parking lot, and electric hookups are available for a fee. Most of the OTC folks room with locals, or group in local motel.
As with all OTC events, we value our reputation for responsibility and sportsmanship, and conduct appropriate for the particular atmosphere, and in this case, family racing. We are there to have fun, and we dont kill anybody for trophies or plaques. This is why promoters welcome us back. All are invited to join us who can live up to these simple expectations. Those who cannot, will be expelled. A few bad apples can easily destroy the reputation of a group, and we worked too hard for ours.
