Moto News Blast from the Dunes....April 29, 2010
Well....the weather has certainly been rather bizarre as we've experienced one of the warmest, driest and sunniest starts to a spring season, yet the rain showers still seem to find us in time for the weekend, along with some good gusts of chilling winds.....bbbuuuuurrrrrrrrr!!!
Gopher Dunes hosted their 16th. Annual Spring 4x4 MudFest this past Sunday. We're not quite sure what it is, but there ain't nothin' gonna keep them mud-boggin' folk away....not rain....not wind....not nothin'.... Must be sum-tin' bout the kinda people that are 'tracted to this sorta event, but they're lined up even 'fore we open the gates....as over 470 trucks rolled in one after another to register for this ever-popular event with a combined total of some 2500 enthusiasts!
And although the spotty rain may have dampened some of the paperwork, it sure didn't dampen the spirits of the enthusiastic crowds as they watched a multitude of various 4x4 trucks, jeeps and home-built contraptions taking their turns to manoeuvre their way through the man-made and Mother Nature-induced mud pits, including the snake pit and sink-hole, attempt the rock-climbing formations and navigate their buggies through the maze and the longest-yard while attempting to complete the trail section before getting bogged down! A true test between 'man and his machine!' For those wanting to get a quite glimpse of what really went on, you can check it out here:
So, for those of you ready to return for a repeat or are anxious to experience it a first time, then mark on your calendar: Sunday, June 27 when we will be featuring our Summer 4x4 MudFest & Outdoor Leisure Show. For vendors interested in setting up a display, please contact us today.... info@gopherdunes.com

IMPORTANT Racers must show their 2010 CMRC licence at time of registration.

must contact wendy@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!!
Licences will still be sold on Sunday, but it will be a time-consuming ordeal & #'s will
not be assigned! We suggest that you arrive at 6:30am (or Saturday evening) if you still
need to purchase your '10 licence.
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/atv and with proper colours.
Incorrect #'s or missing #'s may cause the rider to be scored improperly or disqualified
completely!! For rules, please visit www.cmrcracing.com
MINORS (up to 17 years of age): Will have to complete the 2010 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 a previous 2010 CMRC event, you will need to show your 'blue card' for authorization.
What you need for registration so you are not sent to the back of the line...
- 2010 licence card or you must at least know your membership # & racing #
- completed Entry Form & must be signed on back (by parent, if a Minor)
- cash in hand
