Amateur Riders Motorcycle Association ARMCA D23 COVID-19 Update
As of today March 16th at 4:55pm Governor Walz has recommended that groups larger than 250 people be avoided. The AMA has issued a statement stating that some events will be cancelled or postponed if it is mandated by the state the event is in. The AMA recommend that people follow best practices as outlined by the CDC. Minnesota has not banned events, but that could be done by the governor at any time. Do not go to any event without calling the day before to ensure that it has not been cancelled. Visit our website often as we will keep it updated to the best of our ability.
District 23 ARMCA does not promote any events, the running or cancellation of any event is purely a promoter/club decision.
If you are one of the people that is more susceptible to the effects of the coronavirus stay home. Do not attend any events.
We will keep you all updated on cancellations, postponements, and any other news relating to our riding events. This is an unprecedented and constantly changing situation, we will have to be ready to respond to government mandates controlling the promoting of events.
Hare Scrambles Round 1 Notes
Online registration is now open for round one of the 2020 Hare Scrambles season - http://www.moto-tally.com/D23/HS/PreEntry.aspx
Promoters of the event are encouraging all riders to pre-sign as soon as possible to avoid the long lines that result from the high number of entries at the opening round. There will be a dedicated line at sign up for all pre-registered riders to enter directly where they will have their helmet transponders scanned to confirm their entry.
In addition, all riders who pre-register for Border Battle XC events this season will be entered into a drawing for an EKS Brand goggle case and goggles. The winner will be drawn at the close of online sign up and awarded on race day.
IMPORTANT
1. AMA and D23 memberships need to be purchased prior to race day. Both are available online for immediate print out.

2. Legible number plates with the corresponding colors recommended by D23 will be strictly enforced. Black numbers on white backgrounds are acceptable for ALL classes. If your numbers are deemed too hard to read at sound test, you will be required to go back through sign up to purchase temporary numbers. Block style numbers are highly recommended. Hard to read script style numbers or design font numbers will not be accepted.
Scoring for races with a high number of entries is a thankless job. If your numbers cannot be easily read while going through scoring, you will forfeit your race, no exceptions. If you are not sure, please ask before your race. We appreciate your help with this as it will greatly speed up posting of results and presenting of awards.
Recommended color combos:
AA - white on red or black on white
A - black on white
B - white on blue or black on white
C - white on green or black on white
Youth - white on green or black on white
The War of the Twins III Indoor Flat Track Racing originally scheduled for March 21st-22nd is postponed due to the ever-evolving situation regarding COVID-19. More information coming soon. Visit the Promoters Website for the most updated information.
