The Timekeepers Motorcycle Club is very pleased to announce that their 2016 Wild Piglet Youth/Family Enduro, Round 1 of the 2016 District 36 – SRT Championship Youth/Family Enduro Series, has been rescheduled! Due to a rain-out on the original date, the Timekeepers, working with the staff at Hollister Hills SVRA have secured a new date in September to run this very popular Family Enduro.
Special Note To Those That Pre-Entered In The Spring……If you still plan on riding this enduro you will need to re-enter by sending in a completed entry form and check payment. This is due to the fact that the checks you sent in originally are no longer valid after six months and have already been destroyed by the club.

The California OHV Motor Vehicle Recreation Division Is In Peril
California’s Department of Parks and Recreation is going through a Transformation Process that is proposing eliminating of the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division.
As it now operates under the OHV Motor Vehicle Recreation Division, Californian OHV Parks are the only self-sustaining parks in the state, while all other state parks lose money. Elimination of the OHVMVRD will result in your Green Sticker fees going into a general fund and the loss or mis-use of the OHV Grant Program. What does this mean to you? ….Simple, less money, YOUR MONEY, to maintain the California OHV parks and OHV trails on public land, but instead, redirected to whatever the Department of Parks and Recreation see fit.
California’s elected leadership has a long history of misusing our OHV funds. Loans, Transfers and outright Takes have left the OHV Community weary and the program woefully underfunded. Think it’s bad now? With the proposed action, OHV funds for OHV use will just “be gone”.
Don’t let Bureaucrats Destroy the Nation’s Finest OHV Program! Everyone NEEDS to TAKE ACTION NOW with only a few minutes of your time and let them know this is just not acceptable!
A cliché, yes. but so true…United We Stand – Divided We Fall.
Many of you know that the State has been taking $10 Million from OHV Fuel Tax Revenues YOU pay as an “Intercept” before it reaches the OHV Trust Fund. D36 and other OHV organizations have been fighting this, as this is just a pure TAKE of your OHV money that was intended to go to our OHV Program.
This action is from Assembly Bill 2175 (Jones):
In an Assembly Vote of 80-0, this first step has passed to STOP this TAKE for good! Next step is to Transportation Committee, then on to the Senate. Hopefully, the Senate will agree with the Assembly as this was a bi-partisan vote.
D36 will keep you informed, and will advise how you can help on this when needed.
The 2016 Dirt Track season is fully underway with the first race held at Lodi Cycle Bowl April 23rd already in the books. Unfortunately the second race, round 2 was rained out but it got a whole lot better just this past weekend when Lodi Motorcycle Club and Stockton Motorcycle Club held a double header at the Lodi Cycle Bowl with rounds 2 & 3 of the District 36 Championship Dirt Track Series. Saturday night’s race had a tremendous turnout of 180 racers that made for a whole lot of exciting racing for the evening. With 90 racers taking turns on the starting grid in their respective classes on Sunday the racing was just as intense both for the competitors and spectators as well.
Some handlebar-to-handlebar racing goin’ on!
The track worked in nicely and the main events were entertaining and exciting to say the least. Watching the experts kept us on the edge of our seats for the entire race. The competition was strong with Open A, Michael Inderbitzen and Damon Coca dueling for the checkered flag. Beau Thompson really showed well with some great racing and in the end Michael took the lead in the final laps to win the race.
As a bonus, on Saturday night we were treated with an exhibition race of gas powered carts. The drivers really put on a show with these carts running laps in the 14 second range. There was a lot of Indications that these little speedsters will be coming back for two or three of the upcoming events, so if you missed them this time stay tuned for the next opportunity.
This coming Friday, May 20th the Lodi Motorcycle Club is hosting their annual “Night Before The Mile”. This is a “Don’t miss” event for local Dirt Track Racing with the Pro riders from the GNC coming to compete as a warm up for the Sacramento Mile to be held the next day. The Pro’s will be there to compete and test the strength of their competitors in the next day’s mile race. But don’t think they won’t be racing hard, they’re also competing for a $10,000 purse!
In addition to the Pro’s, racing will include some select classes from the amateur competitors. These racers are serious about their sport and most are working towards turning Pro.
A special thank you goes out to the members of the Lodi MC Club and the Stockton MC Club for their hard work involved in putting on an exciting two days of racing!
The amazing feedback we received from the racers at the event was simply overwhelming. The amount of work and dedication that comes from the handful of people that are setting up the course from sun up to sun down days before the event and then working the course all weekend never get to hear the appreciation. Having videos, photos and comments like this from you make it all worth it. Thank You!

The Timekeepers Wild Piglet, Round 1 of the D36 SRT Championship Youth Enduro Series, rescheduled for Saturday May 7th has been canceled for this weekend by the Hollister Hills SVRA due to rain. Unfortunately, the Adobe and Renz portions of the park that used for this event are very sensitive to rain and become inaccessible by emergency vehicles when the ground is too wet. The Timekeepers MC will explore possible reschedule dates or other options.
