Carnegie-The Battle Continues

District 36 Red Alert…Carnegie

Well we are finally down to the last ditch effort by those who don’t like the Carnegie expansion.  To that end they have brought this to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.  We as concerned users and advocates of Off Highway Recreation really can make a difference by writing the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, as well as / or attending the Alameda County Board meeting outlined below.

And if you think our responses are unnecessary please go here and see what we’re up against.  Note: this is a long read but even skimming over it will give you the full impact that anti-OHV forces are hard at work.

You can email your letter supporting our family recreation to:
elizabeth.mcelligott@acgov.org  Please ask her to forward them to Board President Haggerty and fellow Board members.
Remember to be polite and extol the many virtues of off highway recreation, such as the sustainable nature of State Parks Riding areas. The fact that Carnegie is open space more than half of the time. Not to mention the benefit to the many local businesses that are frequented by Carnegie users. The letter needs to be in by June 22.

Don’t have time to write a letter?…go here for suggested comments you can cut and paste. (Scroll down for Don’s suggestions).

The upcoming meeting, should you be able to attend:
Alameda County Board chambers 5th floor
1221 Oak street
Oakland, CA 94612
Tuesday June 23 11:00 am.

Meeting Agenda  (scroll down to Page 10 – 11:00 am – General Administration)

Please Help us by distributing this information to all of your connections that ride and care for Carnegie.

Thank you in advance for your help!

District 36 Announces Dirt Track Steward Change

District 36 is pleased to announce that Carter Fisher has been installed as the District 36 Dirt Track Steward for the remainder of 2015.

Mr. Fisher was nominated for this Steward position and elected by the District 36 Board of Directors at the monthly meeting held on May 20th and takes office immediately.  Carter was recommended to take the post by Dave Bickle, the outgoing District 36 Dirt Track Steward.   Carter has held this post in the past so he has the experience to slide in with no learning curve and we all look forward to working with him.

This change took place due to the resignation of Dave Bickle who has served as the Dirt Track Steward since 2012.  Dave has performed this job admirably and the decision by him to step down was long thought out and a “hard one to make”.  Due to pressure from his growing business and other personal reasons, Dave told us, “I decided that I need to step back but certainly not out”.  Dave currently serves on the District 36 Board of Directors as well as holding the position of District 36 Rulebook Chairman, positions he looks forward to continuing.  He will also remain on as a Dirt Track Committeeman and plans to stay fully involved in working with Mr. Fisher and the other officials, as well as clubs/promoters, to further the exciting sport of Dirt Track Racing.  Dave tells us, “I just won’t be at the forefront of responsibility for Dirt Track but am still very dedicated to continue to serve with District 36.  Thank you to all that have supported me in the Stewards role and I look forward to still being a part of District 36 and especially Dirt Track racing, a sport I truly love”.

District 36 Thanks You, Dave for your service as the Dirt Track Steward and will continue to value your service in all that you do for the District.

Welcome back Carter Fisher!

Wilseyville Hare Scrambles Are Back!

Wilseyville NorCal logo

The Wilseyville Hare Scrambles are back on the D36 schedule and will take place over Halloween weekend this year.  NorCal Motorcycle Club has received approval from several area landowners to resurrect the race after a 2 year absence and has already begun cutting in some great trails.

“We’ve been working on this project since early last year and it is finally coming together.” said David Furrer, President of NorCal MC.  “This event had been around since 1949 and it was a huge loss to the motorcycling community when it was cancelled a few years ago.  The whole town of Wilseyville is behind us and we will work hard to restore this event to it’s historical greatness”.

Please be sure to change your schedules for the Fall Hare Scrambles season.  The Deer Creek Grand Prix (promoted by NorCal MC) has been cancelled and replaced a couple of weeks later with the Wilseyville Hare Scrambles on Oct 31 & Nov 1, 2015.

More information will follow in the next few months – please check out NorCal Motorcycle Club on Facebook for up-to-the-minute changes and additional information as it becomes available.

RIM FIRE DISASTER “Why A Spark Arrestor Is Needed On Public Lands”

 

Dear District 36 Members,

As fire season is upon us, I want to remind you that you absolutely MUST have a clean, working SPARK ARRESTOR on your motorcycle when you ride on public lands. This year is shaping up to be a very bad fire season, and we as the OHV community must be conscious of this danger as we ride on public lands.

The devastation of our natural resources, including those on the USFS and BLM areas where we ride and recreate, by a fire of this magnitude is shown at the link below (the Rim Fire was NOT started by an OHV user).  Please take a minute to view this, and then share with as many of your friends that ride you can.

For those of you that have been to the Stanislaus NF know what I am saying here, let along the destruction to our favorite trails and riding area. If you see somebody without a spark arrestor, get on their case.  That person can possibly ruin the environment where we recreate and take our families.

Thanks for reading this, and viewing this short film.  It WILL open your eyes. Upon opening the

Link, read the short paragraph about groups coming together in collaborative manner.

It is forging relationships among those that were enemies at one time.  Jerry Fouts, D36 President, was part of the YSS process, along with Mike Demaso from Merced Dirt Riders Motorcycle Club

Special Thanks to Don Amador, BRC & Quiet Warrior Racing, and partner of District 36 and D36 LAO for sending this along after receiving from the RAC (Recreational Advisory Committee).
