Midwest Off-Road Sportsman Racers Unite

   MIDWEST SPORTSMAN OFF ROAD RACERS UNITE!

    

   Appleton, WI (October 30, 2009) ? After a race season that saw  
racer participation drop significantly over the previous season, a  
group of Midwest drivers have come together to form an association to  
bring the sidelined competitors back to the track. The group known as,  
Midwest Off Road Racing (MORR), has one mission:

    

   To provide affordable racing for the Midwest sportsman off road  
racer, while creating a series of weekend events that allow the  
competitor and the enthusiast to enjoy their favorite summer time  
sport seven to eight times per season. Our mission is to bring this to  
reality beginning in 2010, and that this unique form of motorsport is  
alive and well for years to come.

    

   The concept of this group began after a stand alone short course  
event was held in Weyauwega, Wisconsin. Thanks to the support of  
racers, team members, and fans at this event, the racing program was  
successful. Nearly 100 racers and their crews came out to support an  
independent  Sportsman only event.

    

   ?After Weyauwega, a group of us knew what needed to happen to get  
more of our racers back to the track,? noted veteran off-road racer  
Dan Vanden Heuvel Sr. ?Obviously, our nation?s economy caused some of  
the reduced turnout, but there were other factors as well. Our goal is  
to make it more affordable for the racers, while increasing the number  
of races offered to the Sportsman. This will not happen overnight, but  
if steps are continually taken at a reasonable pace, our goals will be  
achieved. Some of the initial communication between the parties has  
already started.?

    

   MORR is designed to give the sportsman off-road racer one large  
voice to express their concerns with the current and future promoters,  
sanctioning bodies, and track owners of this sport. The concept will  
strengthen current relationships within the industry and allow our  
members to compete in a true championship season.

    

   Please visit our website, www.midwest-offroadracing.com[1] for more  
information. Please show your support by adding your name to the  
petition[2]. When new information, including membership is available,  
it will be posted on the website and emailed to those that have  
contacted MORR.

    

   Look for an announcement regarding a general meeting, open to the  
public, sometime after the first of the year.
