Rescheduled: Round 2

/

To the Grassroots Motocross Community:

This past Wednesday an anonymous complaint was filed to the Regional Health Authority about our first event of the season at Madesa MX as to the race not being in compliance with the current Health Order of the day. 

We interpreted the order similar to last year and these orders are not looked at in the same light in 2021. We have since been communicating with the Health Authorities as to how we can be in compliance and continue our events moving forward with new orders slated to begin this weekend.  We will not however, be able to institute a revised site plan in time for Morden to hold their event this weekend, so the Morden open practice and race scheduled for this weekend has been re-scheduled to the weekend of September 25 & 26.  Charlie Westfall and the team at Shadow Valley Raceway have been out at the track all week and are crestfallen at this turn of events, as we all are.  We are now working with the Regional Health Authorities on a site plan for Round 3 next weekend at Prairie Hill MX in Pilot Mound.

We apologize for the unfortunate cancellation and continue to work within the system to keep our season moving forward.  To answer your anticipated question - we will issue full refunds for those who have already registered and paid for both open practice and race day.  Your refund will go back on the card you used in 3-5 business days.

We will release more details pertaining to Pilot Mound as it becomes available.

Sincerely,

204GMoto

JESUS, THE SON OF GOD

By Charles Stanley

“Our position in the Lord affects everything about us—attitudes, emotions, conversation, and conduct. ”
— Charles Stanley

John 20:30-31

Some people don’t believe Jesus is God, so they claim He was simply a good person. Others may intellectually acknowledge Jesus as God’s Son but have no personal relationship with Him. His true followers, however, believe in their heart that Christ is Savior (Rom. 10:9) and they’ve been adopted into His family.

Ephesians 2:1-2 says that those who don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus are spiritually dead and living according to the sin nature. But when a person places faith in Him, spiritual birth takes place—he or she is made alive in Christ and becomes a new creation no longer enslaved to the “flesh” (John 3:3; Eph. 2:5; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

Our position in the Lord affects everything about us—attitudes, emotions, conversation, and conduct. The status quo of society no longer fits us. Instead, believers grow in Christlikeness, embracing thoughts and deeds that are pleasing to God.

Jesus willingly took our sins upon Himself and experienced divine wrath in our place. God accepted His death as full payment for our sins and then raised Jesus from the dead to a position of divine glory (Eph. 1:20). Let the truth of who Jesus Christ is sink in and strengthen your commitment to follow His ways.

WEEKEND IN REVIEW

Congrats to Madesa Raceway and the Cosgrove family for taking on the responsibility of the first round of the 2021 season.  Battling extremely dry and brutally hot conditions, the Madesa staff managed the track amazingly well.  Their effort was extraordinary. 

The long term forecast for July looks to be more of the same, so please understand the conditions that the promoters are dealing with and all of the extra work and resources required for us to enjoy our practice and race day.  These are conditions that have not been seen in years.
