The 2012 CNYMRA Awards Banquest was a great time for 280 District 3 racers, family and friends; where the District both recognized accomplishments and gave back generously to the riders!

Jim King , aka announcer from Royal Mountain, showed up this year as the Master of Ceremonies and did a great job behind the microphone, just as he's done at the races for nearly 20 years!

The District handed out $7500 worth of championship awards in addition to $8000 in cash awards to the top placing experts. Additionally, more than $5000 in door prizes were donated by sponsors, tracks and advertisers such as Mike Loran from Fox Racing, TNT Cycle, Top Dead Center, Northern Powersports, Cycle Shack, Factory Connection, Lewis ATVs, Shockaholic, Broome-Tioga, and the late Guy Fernino's mother donated three $100 certificates in Memory of her son. At the end of the evening everyone went away with something more than the came with; at the very least a good memory of a fun event!

Special award winners were:

Zach Putman - Youth rider of the Year
Mitch Dougherty - No.1 Expert Motorcycle racer
Chris Davis - No. 1 Expert Quad racer

Unadilla - Track of the Year

CNYMRA riders had a run of bad luck at Loretta Lynn's this year. Nearly every D3 rider suffered from crashes, flat tires or other problems in at least one race. Perhaps the worst case was for CJ Talarski who won the first and second moto in +30 B/C and was in position to win the championship early in moto 3 when a bad crash destroyed his bike preventing a finish.

Nov. 19 - CNYMRA loses two of its own.

Guy Fornino #727 past away on Nov. 17. He was just 23 years old.

Dick Church, aka #248, passed away on Saturday Nov.13. He was 74. He suffered from COPD and experienced a breathing attack from which he could not recover.

The CNYMRA extends its condolences to these two rider's family and friends.

Oct. 18 - Trivia Contest

Jan 19 - Michael James Memorial Scholarship winners

For the 19th year, Thunder Ridge Sports with the help of CNYMRA riders and families raised money and awarded scholarship funds in the name of Michael James Simmons.....

As a result of additional donations and participation in fund racing activities this season , Thunder Ridge was able to hand out three scholarship awards for the first time at Saturday's CNYMRA awards banquet....Over $10,000 has been raised and given to CNYMRA college students over the past 19 seasons......This years scholarships went to Michael Bluy of Norwich (Alfred University, Engineering), Tim Dino of Waterloo (University of Buffalo, Engineering) and Jackie Bristol of Central Square (Onondaga Community College, Respiratory Care).....

For 2010, there will be even more team events and family oriented activities at Thunder Ridge to once again fund awards aimed at the educational betterment of CNYMRA riders and their families......

These Scholarship activities came to life during the 1991 season out of the desires of Jim Simmons and his son's friends, who wished to focus on the Family aspects of our sport and our CNYMRA series. The hope continues to be that this focus will result in positive family discussions involving topics which might otherwise be ignored...
