TRAC’N “PRACTICE TOUR” #1

OFF-ROAD IN THE 21^ST CENTURY SERIES©

Event: “NUTS IN THE FALL 100” ©

September 18, 2010

2/50-mile laps

Entry fee: $25.00 (Incl. BBQ & Beverage) Yes! $25.00 you read it right!

IRC Travel Recorder Rental $25.00 (Yeah, you read it right!)

BACKGROUND:

· Things are going to be tough for promoters as a result of the incident in Lucerne.

· Certain desert areas might be closed if not highly restricted.

· Costs are sure to go up, not just for permits and staffing, but insurance as well.

· Limitations on how events should be conducted are sure to be plenty.

· Off-Road as we have known it, and as we know it today, is in jeopardy.

· We have to be innovative and come up with ways to protect our sport.

· We have to come up with solutions that will mitigate our events and allow us to continue to enjoy our deserts and open areas, while being conscientious of the environment around us.

· We MUST adapt.

· Bottom line, if we don’t do anything positive, we will lose it all!!!

SO WHAT CAN WE DO?

For us here in Cal-City, the answer is in what we have been working on and proposing for the last five years:

There must be a new manner of competition in the desert, a truly sensible, albeit different way to compete, yet as fierce as always, while applying good common sense to each event. So here it is:

1. OUR concept of off-road competition is the new,

‘TRAC’N PRACTICE “TRIAL” Round #1, Saturday, Sep 18, 2010 –

“NUTS IN THE FALL 100” – 2/50 mi Laps

2. For our next two events in 2011, the entry fee will be only $25.00! IMAGINE THAT! And, you get one free BBQ ticket after the event. Extra BBQs are $5.00 each, including beverage.

3. Also, for the next two events in 2011, the rental fee for an IRC Travel Recorder unit is only $25.00 (No live tracking – Thank you IRC)!

4. All the classes you are familiar with are available and then some.

5. TRAC’N events will “test” your speed and navigation skills like never before.

6. TRAC’N courses will have no markings, no arrows, and no ribbons. (Leaving less impact on the desert)

7. TRAC’N will offer no pre-running. (Also leaving much less impact on the desert)

8. There will be no easy entry or access into the course, except by officials, sweeps and by permit only. (Again, less impact on the desert and more crowd control if they don’t know where the course is.)

9. The course map will only indicate where we are placing official PITS and Spectator areas.

10. No one, not even the participants will know where the course is until he/she is registered and ready to “STAGE” for the start.

11. That also means that “chase crews” will have no idea where the course is, either, until it is necessary for one of them to enter the course for retrieval or to make repairs.

12. The only markings on the course are for mileage markers and a few “DANGER” (if any) signs.

13. The entire course will be downloaded onto your GPS (chip) just prior to the start of the event. Therefore, you must have paid/checked-in first, and have a programmable GPS unit in your vehicle such as Garmin, Lowrence, Magellan and others.

14. Should you have a problem, we will send your “chase crew” to the exact spot where you are located unless one of our “Course Monitors” has found you first.

15. You will be required to stay on the “Virtual” desert course or be penalized by added time.

16. Again, you MUST rent an IRC Travel Recorder (no, not the live tracking system) from IRC. $25.00!!!

17. We will conduct and score the event as if it was a race. We want people to start getting familiar with the way events are going to be in the future. IT’S BETTER TO START NOW!

18. You will be able to go as fast as you and/or your navigator can travel, keeping in mind that you must stay on the “virtual” course, except where speeds and stops are mandated. Any deviation from the “virtual” course and speeds will cost penalty points against your E. T. (Elapsed Time).

19. As you finish, we will download your IRC Travel Recorder and within minutes we can see where you went.

20. The Top 5 Overall and Most Accurate entries will receive special awards.

21. For this event, there will be TECH FOR SAFETY ONLY! Bring your racecar, pre-runner or your wife’s SUV.

WELCOME TO THE 21^ST CENTURY -- WELCOME TO “TRAC’N” -- WELCOME TO THE

NEW-AGE TECH-NO OFF-ROAD COMPETITION -- WELCOME TO BETTER DAYS IN OUR SPORT

We hope you embrace this effort, come out and PRACTICE with us, at THE NEXT TWO EVENTS (9/18 & 12/11) and learn with us in order to get ready for the 2011 Season:
