ABRAMS OFF-ROAD SEMINARS & SWAP MEET-WRAP UP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "88 Miles from Heaven on Dirt" Off-Road Seminar & Swap Meet a Success!! Abrams, WI (April 27, 2010) -The second annual of the off-road seminar has quickly become a must attend in the Upper Midwest. For 2010, MORR oversaw the event with Board Director, Don Demeny as the project manager. The event saw a record number of vendors and attendees, spending the day at Kip and Donna's Fly Way Restaurant and Banquet Hall in downtown Abrams, Wisconsin. The seminar portion of the event had Aaron from Safety Solutions, and Chris from Innovative Safety Solutions give informative presentations on motorsports safety, and Jeff from Attitude Motorsports spent time informing the crowd about motorsports marketing. Inside the banquet hall vendors from AMSOIL, Miller Electric, Coleman Race Products, Phil's Inc, MT Graphics, McKenzies Midwest, Ross Hoek Motorsports, Crystal Valley Marketing, Racing Electronic, Safety Solutions, Innovative Safety Products, Skalitzky Race Designs and Composite Envisions. Outside the swap meet filled up the majority of the parking lot as enthusiast's unloaded trailers and trucks full of all types of automotive and racing related parts. MORR also used the event to bring everyone up to date on this season's upcoming events. Here are some of the highlights: Antigo Event Ronn Krueger, the promoter of the Antigo event, stepped up to the microphone and announced the Chippewa Sokaogon Community and the Mole Lake Casino are sponsors of the event. Ronn also announced that there will be no charge for the camping/pit spot for the driver. (All others will be charged a camping fee.) The driver and crew chief of each race entry also will not be charged an admission fee. MORR president, Dan Vanden Heuvel spoke about the importance of everyone policing their camp and pit spots during the weekend as well as volunteering for whatever is needed during the Antigo event. MORR needs to leave the fairgrounds as clean as it was when our event crew arrived. Crandon MORR Test Day The upcoming Crandon MORR Sportsman Test Day is May 17 and the fee for the day is $50. Again MORR needs volunteers to assist with the day's activities. Track workers, including flaggers and tow vehicles will be needed to make this day a success. Later this week, online registration will be available on the website, www.midwest-offroadracing.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103342430089&s=547&e=001rPM3yqKsHsvlb335VqfYxRqi0a2V8rRCDPItcgvQ-s_UFD0CqhVzCOeCrj2Y77mQmxZYMBwEwBqd5mcthp69tIERSIA5a2ZhfdGjbXC1SB6ZHJFliHneE16zzHY2p3jQ]. Oshkosh Event The Oshkosh night time event on July 23-24 was originally a Sportsman only event with MORR overseeing the event. Recently MORR was able to partner with a Fox Valley area promoter to ensure that Round 5 & 6 will be the biggest off-road event the area has ever seen. Within the last two weeks, TORC approached MORR to include the PRO racers. After some negotiations, MORR, the event promoter, and TORC have agreed to work together to create an awesome event, Sportsman and PRO, for Fox Valley off-road enthusiasts. Limited 2 In an effort to increase the number of entries in this class, TORC/USAC will allow older PRO-2 trucks to compete in this class with the use of the specified restrictor plate. This is designed to allow only sportsman drivers with access to PRO trucks/engines, not for current PRO-2 racers to move down and compete.

MORR Sportsman Contingency As of 4/24/2010, MORR has contingency offerings in excess of $270,000 in cash and product. During the day, Chuck from Crystal Valley Marketing held a raffle offering one free entry to the MORR Sportsman Test Day, and the winner was Mike Vanden Heuvel. As the afternoon moved into the evening all the vendors packed up their wares and deemed the second annual "88 Miles from Heaven on Dirt" Off-Road Seminar and Swap Meet a success. In fact, MORR is already in the early planning stages for the 2011 event. Next MORR event is the Crandon Sportsman Test Day [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103342430089&s=547&e=001rPM3yqKsHsuJvAJ0NdRmB972CpkPgkSyhUMDpnmnlCFojgiY39hJBHKRjssg0ptJnFHKL-_NScEVTtUIqMsu15f36URdBLH0FqgjwG2pr8KWMuxlqQEPkgJyHnh3jfX5tWVuUEnHAzwU20ysCCA2KEqbDJrY-FF6] on May 17, 2010.
