Update Blast from the Dunes..April 11, 2012Gopher Dunes is gearing up for this weekend’s CMRC ANQ Opener Motocross & ATV Race to unfold on Sunday, April 15.
We’ve just finished off a very busy Easter Weekend with many riders out over the 4 days, including the CMRC Sanctioned Ride Day on the 8th. Today was the last day that the Main Track & Pee-Wee Track were open for practice riding. On Thursday, April 12 & Friday, April 13 we are inviting riders to come out and have a chance to practice ride on our ‘new alternate west track’. Okay riders this is your chance to experience something that many of you have been waiting for — an opportunity to ride our new track! It will be used for some of our smaller club races this season; but it will not be open on a regular basis for riding. Trail 1 & 2 are also open till Friday.
On Saturday, April 14 the track & trails will be closed and prepped for Sunday’s CMRC Opener! On Saturday we are hosting our Motocross Group Training Session for riders on 85cc to 450cc dirt bikes. Instructors will be Tyler Medaglia and Derek Schuster. If you haven’t signed up yet, and are thinking about it, call or email now, as there are only 2 spots left!
The Group Training Session for 50cc to 65cc will be on April 21.
We are also taking bookings for private, semi-private and family safety & beginner training sessions plus advanced mx riding lessons. Bike, quad and gear rentals are also available….we’re ready to suit you up and train just about anyone willing to give it a try….right from the first-timers to the Pro’s ready for some tips on sand racing!!

IMPORTANT: Racers must show their 2012 CMRC licence at time of registration.
If you recently purchased your licence and have not yet received it in the mail, you
must bring along your receipt or contactwendy@cmrcracing.com to confirm that you are registered and get your assigned racing # & also record your membership #.
VERY IMPORTANT to have this information if you want to race on Sunday!! It is highly recommended that you purchase your 2012 licence online by visiting: www.cmrcracing.com as then you will be able to print your own receipt and card.
Race numbers will not be assigned on race date…..so it is important that you get this
confirmed in advance!
Licences will be sold on Sunday at $140, but it will be a time-consuming ordeal & #’s will not be assigned! We suggest that you arrive promptly at 6:30am if you still need to purchase your 2012 licence.
Day Passes are not available.
All registered racers must have their assigned CMRC # on their jersey/chest protector as well as on the front and both sides of their bike and with proper colours. Numbers can be purchased at the Gopher Dunes Pro Shop (while supplies last).
Incorrect #’s or missing #’s may cause the rider to be scored improperly or disqualified completely!! For rules, please visit www.cmrcracing.com
MINORS under 18 will have to complete the CMRC 2012 Parental Consent & Minor Waiver Release Forms with copies available at sign-in. This means you will need at least one parent to accompany you at time of registration. If you have already completed this form at the CMRC Ride Day this past Sunday, you will need to show your ‘2012 Card’ for authorization.
What you need for registration so you are not sent to the back of the line…
*2012 licence card or you must at least know your membership # & racing #
*completed Entry Form & must be signed on back (also by parent, if under 18)
*cash in hand
