Midwest Off-Road Racing Elect Board of Directors
Midwest Off-Road Racing Elect Board of Directors Clarify Mission of the Group Appleton, WI (November 12, 2009) - The organizers of the Midwest Off-Road Racing (MORR) group met Wednesday evening, November 11, to elect a board of directors and continue to finalize the legal side of the organization. The group of twenty very committed off-road enthusiasts met to fine-tune the mission of MORR. The redefined MORR Mission Statement is as follows: Mission Statement The goal of the Midwest Off Road Racing group is to insure affordable racing for the Midwest Sportsman Off Road Racer by uniting racers with a common voice. Maintaining affiliations with approved sanctioning bodies will allow the competitor and the enthusiast to enjoy off road racing now and in the future. MORR is not creating another race series. In fact, the group is working with TORC to bring back affordable Sportsman racing. The initial talks between the two groups on this point are very promising. As of November 11, 2009, TORC has posted race dates for 4 race weekends in the Upper Midwest. These are PRO and Sportsman events. MORR has also expressed the need for additional Sportsman racing in the Upper Midwest, and TORC is actively working to address that issue. MORR is also in the very early discussion stages of additional Sportsman concerns. Updates on these issues will be announced in the near future. The other order of business was the election of the MORR Board of Directors. After eleven members were nominated, each candidate briefly voiced their qualifications and goals for the group. All candidates were highly qualified, but only 7 could be elected. The 2010 MORR Board of Directors President ? Dan Vanden Heuvel Vice-President ? Ross Hoek Secretary ? Mike Vanden Heuvel Treasurer ? Pat Flanagan Directors at Large ? Don Demeny, Geoff Dorr, & Mike Reusche All board members will be available for questions and comments at the TORC Midwest Sportsman Banquet on December 5, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
