Why is there a large gap between april’s race and the last 3 races.
February 16th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
Because It’s to hot in ASRA OHV area in the summer months and we don’t want to step on other DH series like Northstars DH series. Plus there nothing going on in the fall for DH racing.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
I understand that no license is required, but would we need a license to race under pro/vet pro class?
February 26th, 2010 at 7:28 am
No license. All the riders know who is who in DH racing and who should be racing Pro-Expert and who is sand bagging. Plus I run a racer check of all the racers before and after the event is over that race in the sport, expert, Pro.
