No Cycles 128 this year

[Kurlon]

Some of you may have gone in years past to the Masters of Mini race at Cycles 128 in November. Cold temps, no parking, and mini pavement MX with hundreds of your closest friends around and through the Cycles 128 building. Sadly it won't be happening this year as Cycles 128 isn't available. Anyone got any ideas for alternate venues that can work with extremely short notice? In addition to having enough pavement for a mini road course there needs to be enough area for people to park and pit.

Yes - I'm calling town hall right now to check on the permit. CMP is all in.

Ok, if it's viable, let me know and I'll get you Davo's contact info, he'll be stoked!

[cdovego]

Ok, talked to town hall - they're good. We need a solid date and general idea of how many ppl would be showing. Can you help me with those two items, Josh?

I'm thinking 11/9, this would in Lunenburg, MA and we're thinking tires/hay bales for the track. We've got parking and police for the detail.

[Falko]

Is CMP still in Lunenburg? They have to be on the line with Fitchburg.

You should see if you can cut across the marina into and use the old Apple Valley Ford lot as part of the track. That would be HUGE.

Just a little insight here, as ive got some experience with C128 as a company....

They have gone thru a LOT of management changes this summer/fall....HUGELY NEEDED changes. The owners have stepped up and cut out a lot of riff raff and added some GOOD people.

The unfourtunate thing is the guy who was kinda 'in charge' of the Master of Minis, was one of those axed....

Its an incredible facility, with newly added Ducati, MV Agusta and Triumph, to their existing Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and KTM franchises.

Hopefully they can gain some ground, reputation wise....and BRING US BACK MASTERS OF THE MINIS!!!!



Disclaimer: Yes, I used to work there...like 5 years ago. No I did not buy my latest Ducati there....They owe me nothing and i owe them nothing.

From Davo's initial report, it sounds like it was more of a scheduling issue than Cycles 128 flat out not wanting to play so there is hope for next year.

[jwm2k3]

Nice!

[GingahNinjah]

I need to borrow a bike from someone for this event!!!

[typeone]

oh, man I hope this works out at CMP! wish I still had my Pitster!!

[cdovego]

We're looking at adding 1 extra round to the minimoto schedule at CMP, first or second week of December.

Contact Davo for details on the November round, he is having one - he told me where but it didn't stick in my brain, sorry.

Ok Kids

I have some GOOD news so I am going to just lay it out there…

Round 6 is back on and it is in the dirt! So don't pull your wheels just yet. MX Twenty Three has offered to pick up round 6 so we don't skip a beat.

Many of you remember that we went there for Round 2 back in July. They are located near Thunderbowl in Brookfield, MA.

More info soon - just plan on coming out for the final points paying round for the 2014 MoM Season!

Still standing by for more info... once he posts it I'll spread it here.

Road racers, stand by as well...

Ah man. The Cycles 128 Master of Mini race was always one of the highlight races of the year. So much fun. Well.. except for those MX guys punting you into the weeds.

[snwbrdr435]

Sooo did this happen?

[Kurlon]

Scratch that, I can't find the post where I thought I got that idea from. So no, no race yet, still waiting to see if Davo pulls something off.

[slowkermit]

I used to watch the YSR50 races in their parking lot, waaay back in the day. I had no idea they still hosted things like this.
