Jon, thank you for starting the thread about the Ute Cup, we had planned to do so but had not gotten around to it. The trials masters did a great job in setting the sections and as an added attraction, the bears that raided several participant

Anyone know where I can get a copy of the sidecar rules.

Spent the day at Tish looking at the new clubman lines and they look perfect for modern intermediate and Ahrma #1 line riders

Jon Thanks for the pictures and carb jets we will be at Diamond Dons tomorrow and I will have time to try them

Due to a scheduling conflict at the Donner Ski Ranch, Soda Springs, CA the previously scheduled date for the AHRMA national event (July 10-11) has been changed to July 17-18, 2010.

Hi Alan --- The AHRMA Trial is at Gatorback Cycle Park, Gainesville, FL, not Hard Rock. A trialsmaster has been identified and the event is Friday morning February 26th. Ed Peacock

The Hollister event previously scheduled for October 9th has been rescheduled to October 16th to avoid the conflict with the event at Barber.

Chris, Normally this cover can be welded. Ed

We would like to see an AHRMA trials presence in the Northeast. However, we have not been fortunate enough to find a location and/or a promoter or individual(s) willing to commit to doing an event this year. Last year, two events were scheduled in the northeast. One in Ijamsville, MD which was a great event; and the second one scheduled in Woodstock, WV was cancelled due to the AHRMA/AMA split.

The rule modification to allow a twin-shock class for bikes newer than 1977 was again turned down by the board; however, there will be a support class at most events and we welcome the participation of all bikes. Individuals riding in the support class (twin shock and modern bikes) will not receive AHRMA National Series Points and the AHRMA No-Stop rule applies. The sections will be modern skill level intermediate and below, championship sections will not be available. The event previews on the www.ahrma.org website will normally give all the information about the event and the availability of support classes; however, you may also contact us for information ee.peacock@comcast.net.

62 entries at the Ute Cup. Great event!!!

It is interesting to read your complaints regarding the national trials schedule for both 2008 and 2009. Do you have a location in mind to schedule an event east of the Mississippi and are you willing to do the work to coordinate and set the event? As the AHRMA trials coordinators, we have had a request out for over a year for anyone knowing of a location in the east that would be available for an event. We have had no responses to that request. We cannot arbitrarily schedule an event without having a willing landowner/promoter and someone willing do the work associated with the event. In 2008, we lost Devils Ridge and Broome Tioga because either the promoter or the individuals who had previously set the events decided that they were not going to do them again because of the low turnout. Therefore, you do not just go ahead and put them back in the schedule to give you a location east of the Mississippi. For 2009, we attempted to schedule a two-day event east of the Mississippi; however, that location did not want to commit to an AHRMA event until after they had an opportunity to see the ITSA schedule. Another location east of the Mississippi is not on this year

For the record, I am the one who submitted the rule change to AHRMA in response to many requests from AHRMA members as well as non-members. Statistical data in support of the request was provided as part of the proposal and the inclusion of the additional twin-shock bikes would in no way impact or detract from of the premier bikes since they would not be competing against these bikes. If you have any questions relative to the proposal, please feel free to contact us. Ed
