4) VCMC. On behalf of VCMC, Ryan Kudla asked the Competition Committee for approval of the following proposals:
a. Approval to exclude Quads and ATV?s from VCMC qualifier to be held at The Ranch
on September 18, 2011. Ryan stated that the land owner/lessee of The Ranch property
does not want any trails to be widened to accommodate quads. After a brief discussion
the stewards voted and approved VCMC?s proposal.
b. Approval to hold a 3 loop qualifier using a single 25 mile course with some variations
for the second and third loops. The stewards asked questions concerning how VCMC
planned to prevent riders on later minutes of loop 1 from being on the course at the
same time as riders on early minutes of loop 2, etc. After discussion, the stewards voted in favor of VCMC?s proposed format.
c. Approval to allow members of an Enduro club to ride a second event hosted by their
club for Enduro points only, similar to members of clubs hosting National H&H races
to ride their club?s event for national points only. Pending additional information this
item was tabled until the March meeting.
d. Ryan also noted that red numbered classes (normally 1 loop riders) will ride 2 loops at this event, all other classes will ride 3 loops.
