To All CNYMRA/D3 Members

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with your families. I’m writing to all of you to bring you up to speed on where we are now and moving forward in this time of Covid-19.

Final Points for 2020 are posted HERE.

Now that this motocross season is over I wanted to take a little time to look back at this year and actually the last few years.

Three years ago when Motomasters and Frozen Ocean bolted for USMX I thought maybe District 3 was in for some trouble.  At that time Jim Simmons and Thunder Ridge were at a crossroads. Jim was having medical issues and could no longer maintain the track. 

Mike Dougherty knowing we could not lose another venue jumped in.  He worked endless hours to clean things up and get the track race ready. Full letter

Thank You!

It has been decided that the Tri-Series will be postponed until 2021 since we were not able to hold the first round at Frozen Ocean. The NY State Championships will still take place at High Voltage as a special D3 points race.

Please share the link on your Facebook pages and with your friends!

I’m sure after the past couple of beautiful weekends everyone is hoping to get racing as much as we are! We are all waiting to hear if and when the Governor lifts the ban on large gatherings. If he does before the April 19 High Voltage event, we WILL be racing. Until then, stay safe and healthy.
