The District 36 Annual Sanction meeting is upon us. All Clubs and Promoters are required to have at least two representatives in attendance, one a club officer and the other the club referee (if possible). There will be an election of some Board seats who’s terms are due to expire as well as awarding of meet and event dates for the 2022 year. There can also be important information and announcements.

All clubs and Promoters that wish to join or rejoin District 36 for 2022 must be Chartered to put on competition meets and/or special events under the District umbrella. If you haven’t already done so please go to the online District 36 Charter Application Form, complete it and pay the charter fees in advance of the upcoming Sanction Meeting. This helps the meeting to run smoother, greatly aids the Sanction Steward and gets us out of there sooner than later.

California Legislative Alert AB 1512 (Bauer-Kahan) Off-highway vehicular recreation: Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area:  Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area AB 1512 is in the Senate Appropriations Committee Suspense File to be heard on Thursday, August 26th, Upon Adjournment of Session   The Off Road Vehicle Legislative Coalition is comprised of several statewide or regional organizations of OHV enthusiasts.  Our coalition has reviewed AB 1512 and strongly opposes this bill.   AB 1512 would deny opportunities for local Bay Area residents, including the elderly and disabled and motorized recreation enthusiasts. It will set a precedent, allowing for the sale of any State Park where neighboring property owners seek relief from a perceived “wrong” in that Park. There are legislative and institutional processes in place to dispose of State Parks properties. These processes were deliberate in their development to ensure careful consideration of all factors before these assets would be sold or redesignated.  AB 1512 seeks to do an end run around these institutional processes.  Opposition to the Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA), whether the expansion property or the current park, is a local issue. Statewide legislation is an abuse of legislative resources. Consider that this is the fifth year in a row such legislation has been introduced, and it still is directed at a single State Park. SB 249 (Chapter 459, Statutes of 2017) outlines specific processes and standards for State Vehicle Recreation Areas such as Carnegie, that exceed the standards for other State Parks. The proposed conservatorships would not be required to meet these high standards nor be required to be accessible to the California public. Carnegie SVRA meets the standards established for an urban park. Elimination of this resource is in direct conflict with this standard.   Contact your Senator and Governer Newsom NOW to oppose AB 1512!   Don’t know who your senator is?  http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/   If your Senator is not on the committee list above, please contact Senator Toni Atkins, Senate President Pro Tempore, and Governor Newsom; tell them of your OPPOSITION to AB 1512. Contact Senator Atkins and the Governor NOW to oppose AB 1512.

To all that will be Chartering with District 36 for the remainder of this year and/or for 2022 we have updated the Charter Applications (you do not have to be a club or promoter that hosts meets to be a Chartered Member of District 36).

Please be sure to use the one for the correct year you are chartering for, either online (Much Preferred!) or the old fashion way with a mail in application (please print clearly).  On our Clubs & Promoters Resource Page we still have the 2021 Charter application as the year is only half over and have added the 2022 applications for those that like to plan ahead.

If you are promoting any kind of meet (competition or dual sport) under the District 36 umbrella for the 2021 fall or for 2022 you must be chartered with District 36.  Our annual Sanction Meeting is coming up Saturday September 18th and it’s STRONGLY advised to fill out your charter application online at least a week before the meeting.  You will be able to fill one out at the meeting but it slows the process and creates more work for the Sanction Steward so PLEASE fill it out on line here (2022) 

A useful link:

AMA-D36.org   Here you will find all the forms you need to Charter, sanction and put on an event under Clubs & Promoters Resources.  There is a link to the operations Manual (aka: rulebook) that should answer any questions you may have about competition meets and something your referee should be familiar with (you can keep it on your smart phone or we will get you a printed copy).

Take a look at the main Menu on the website to find what resources you may need and then, if all else fails, go to the “contact Us” page for email and phone numbers of D36 officials.
While we’re always here and more that happy to answer questions, we prefer that you look up any information you need as we feel you will then know where to find it and where to look for other info.  Most of the time this is a lot faster than sending an email with a question and waiting for a response.  We don’t maintain an office and all the officials are volunteers and may not be readily available.

Hangtown MotoCross:  September 11, 2021

Dear Volunteer;

I am recruiting volunteers for Hangtown 2021. Many of you have been so very loyal and come back every year for the fun! We appreciate you more than you know. This event would never happen without volunteers. Our event is growing at a fast pace and we are looking for more people interested in working our event.

COVID GUIDELINES -State of California and the CDC recommend that you have been vaccinated to work at the event. You will be exposed to a large number of people. If you are not, it is recommended that you wear a mask when in the crowds. There will be a space on the form to check.

If you are interested, please email or snail mail this packet back to hangtownworker@gmail.com or to Pam Santin 4763 Union Mine Road El Dorado CA 95623. We try to have all of our crews up and finalized by   9/05/21 so get the form back asap. We need workers who can commit to at least 2 days. If you have done “Wheels on the Ground” for Saturday, let us know on the form. Ryan Gouldthread is the track crew coordinator and will decide who has these positions for Saturday. We are lucky with so many good people to choose from!!

We have had problems with people signing up to work, taking the passes and tickets and then being seen in the infield as a spectator. Enough said, we know who you are, you will not work at our event. *** IF you are wearing a worker shirt of any type near the track, NO ALCOHOL- even in the food/lunch prep area!! This was an issue last year and will not be tolerated again.

Shirts will be handed out for you to wear during the event. Keep in mind this is a nationally televised event, so try to look sharp! Best image forward. We always have the best crews and are well respected by the AMA and MX Sports. If somehow you did not get a shirt, ask and someone will get you set up. I love seeing all of you when we watch the event on TV!!   A sheet for flaggers from MX Sports will be emailed at a later date

 There will be people who can cover for breaks. Water stations are located all around the track as well as someone roving with water and other drinks. We also provide you with a nice lunch each day you are working. There will also be a dinner for the workers. I will email that info when we are closer to the event.

**PLEASE DO NOT VOLUNTEER IF YOU HAVE ANY INJURIES OR DISABILITIES OR MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT PREVENT YOU FROM DOING THIS JOB IN A COMPLETELY SAFE MANNER. NO CASTS, BRACES, CRUTCHES OR CANES OF ANY TYPE. NO VISUAL LIMITATIONS. WE DO REQUIRE THAT YOU HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE.

Hangtown would never happen without all the workers before, during and after the event. You are a valuable asset to us and we appreciate all you do. Please share the form with people who may want to work!  MUST be 16 or over.

Best regards,

Pam Santin, Crew Coordinator for DDNMC

MMX Racing has announced that their Short Track Race, Round 15 of the District 36 Championship Dirt Track Series has been cancelled for this weekend due to a forecasted high  température of 114 °.  In racing safety is paramount and while disappointment comes with any cancellation there is no question that these extreme conditions call for this cancellation.

It was not reported to us if there will be a replacement race so watch the District 36 website for more details when and if they become available.
